It really doesn't. It's the finale of a show about a serial killer, of course it's going to be bloody, and a tragedy could imply countless things for several different characters. The image doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the title. It might suggest something, but it doesn't confirm anything. It doesn't…

It's an image from the first episode of this season. If you're going to complain to anyone complain to Bryan Fuller for putting spoilers for the finale in the first episode.

Well it was kind of a joke with the Coens that very little of the movie actually takes place in Fargo, and as far as I can tell it looks like not much of the TV series will be set there, if at all, so it could work as almost a thematic title, rather than a place. I think the Coens said they called the film Fargo…

It's very close to being my favourite too. Could flip a coin between it and Fargo.

I'm reading the Richard Pryor biography Furious Cool at the moment and struck by a line about Altamont Festival and the Hell's Angels killing a spectator. They mark the incident as a curtain coming down signalling get the end to a generations Utopian dream.

I think you're spot on in that assessment. I think Will's line of this episode of why Hannibal has spared him "because he wants to be my friend," illustrates that. That will probably be the mistake that leads to Hannibal being caught. Giving into an almost human desire, well his warped version of friendship. He knows…

Yeah I didn't think it was the best scene, and wasn't sold on it 100% but I can see the reasons for it, so I just went with it.

Gideon took his kidneys.

Well that's still only part of it, he probably wanted to see how Hannibal reacted and it would be probable that if she did go to talk to him it would have been in his office. I think it was more to put the two of them in a room together and see what shook lose. The issue I'd have with it maybe is Jack potentially…

Well I imagine Jack brought Miriam to Hannibal to see if it jogged any memories for her, and to see how Hannibal reacted and acted with her. It struck me as odd first that he brought her there in that scene, but her getting a quick flash of The Wounded Man made me think that was Jack's reasoning. Jack is rarely subtle…

I'd be afraid of people's reactions when they read it.

Just noticed I found three ways to say exactly the same thing.

I've been re watching season 1 this weekend and that seems to be Jack's style, to be pretty blatant in accusing someone to see their reaction. He tends to go off reading someone's reactions. It reminded of the scene when he got Abigail to identify the body of the guy she'd killed. He wanted to see how she'd react to…

I think someone commented before saying that in the books it's said that Hannibal manipulated a lot of his elderly clients into leaving him their money in their wills.
