SISYPHUS GETS A 9 TO 5

Hannibal (2013-2015)

In the final episode Will pulls himself and Hannibal off that cliff right? And then the camera pans down to the ocean where they fall.

But the ocean is undisturbed. If two grown men fell into the ocean from a cliff there would be a pretty big splash. But there’s nothing. There is no sign of two bodies falling into the water. But the camera focuses on that.

There is NO WAY that is a coincidence. That it isn’t intentional. Otherwise it would be unnecessary to draw out attention to the ocean down below.

Plus the post credits scene is a pretty big hint that Will and Hannibal survived. There is no way Bedelia would cut up her own leg and prepare it and there is no one except Hannibal who would do so to her.

So my theory is the Fall was Will’s imagination. We already know his mind is prone to hallucinations so I think it is very plausible the fall was also one. It was more of a metaphorical fall. Wills moral fall. The FBI Agent Will Graham and the cold and emotionless Chesapeake Ripper are well and truly gone. Dead. Drowned. Their person suits shed. Will’s

And all that was left was the real Will and Hannibal. Monstrous, free and completely bound together.

“Can’t live with him, can’t live without him”

The old Will and Hannibal couldn’t, so they died that night in each others arms.

I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.

Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.
