This is how Bryan Fuller and NBC BROKE MY HEART FOREVER
I didn’t feel to post this on other social networks, because I already heard what people told me. “You are too emotive” “THEY ARE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS!” “I don’t see why you are acting like this!” “You should control your emotions” yeah yeah yeah I ALREADY KNOW.
Things went this way. I was sitting on the sofa, about to watch the second to last episode of Hannibal while I was at my boyfriend’s place. I took a deep breath and pressed play. I got so catched from what was going on, that I started screamng for joy when Will asked Bedelia the famous question we all know about...
.....I realised too late I was screaming VERY LOUD, since my boyfriend came from the other room to check if I was alright. I tried to explain him what happened but everything I said can be summed up in "OMG, IT'S REAL OMG, I'M NOT CRAZY OMG!!!". (I must admit I never checked on internet for HANNIGRAM, so I didn't even think it could have been real. I thought it was just my imagination)
I finished the episode full of hope, and then I read on Facebook that the episode that was about to come, would have been the last one. I felt a bit sad about it, but I thought "Ok, they are going to make a "special" episode, right? I mean, a bit longer than the others, where something good happens, right? RIGHT?"
Friday arrived. But I was too nervous to watch the season finale. I waited for three days, and then I decided to watch it alone, while my boyfriend was at work.
I knew something very bad was about to come. I FELT IT. Expecially when a friend of mine told me "Nope, it's a regular episode!".
I grabbed my pillow, and started watching.
Amazing. AMAZING. I never saw a season finale that made me feel like this one did. There are NO WORDS to descibe it. Everything I hoped for the past three season was RIGHT THERE. IN FRONT OF ME. I WASN'T CRAZY! ON MY GOD YES!!!!!
And then the episode ended.
I was crying like a little girl who lost her favourite toy. I was inconsolable ç___ç if I think about it I still feel a bit sad. While the ending credits were running, my boyfriend came back from work, finding me in a river of tears.
I explained him why, and without a word he took place next to me on the couch, and hugged me. He HATED Hannibal but he was sorry for me. Then silently he pointed the TV, on which there was Bedelia sitting at the table, grabbing her fork and hiding it between her hands. I stopped crying for a moment and said "That means they are still alive!" and immediatly after "BUT THE SHOW IS OVER!!" and went on crying.
It took me at least fifteen minutes to calm down. And since then, I feel so sad about knowing that what I saw was the very ending. No more Hannibal Friday.
But I think that if it has been decided to resume "X Files", maybe with time...A LOT OF TIME, maybe Hannibal will be resumed too. It will take us time and effort, but I'm sure that us Fannibals can do something about it.
Nonetheless, that's what I would like to say to NBC.
You gave us one of the most interesting, thrilling, well written, catching and intriguing serie of the past years, where the actors gave their best, with a finale that gave goosebumps also to people who was never interested in Hannigram (like my mother) and which could have given much MUCH more, with a little bit of time. So thank you. THANK YOU NBC AND THANK YOU BRYAN FULLER.
But seriously? SERIOUSLY?! You stopped it at the third season? THERE ARE SERIES WHICH WENT ON UNTIL THE 7TH OR 8TH SEASON THAT WEREN’T EVEN COMPARABLE TO HANNIBAL, AND YOU STOPPED IT AT THE 3RD SEASON?! Y___________Y
I. AM. SPEECHLESS.
You hurt my fangirl/Fannibal feelings.
