History Awesome / Hannibal

** The scene may also be [[TakeThatScrappy especially cathartic]] to those who have grown annoyed with Alana's unsympathetic and extremely GenreBlind behavior, considering how foolish she undoubtedly feels when she finally puts the pieces together from seeing that Freddie was not killed.

* Even as [[spoiler: Gideon is being slowly eaten piece by piece, his predicament doesn't stop him from sniping at Hannibal, particularly when he subtly mocked the latter's obsession with Will and his desire to turn Will into a SerialKiller and a cannibal. Not bad for someone who's paraplegic, [[AnArmAndALeg almost entirely limbless]], and [[FaceDeathWithDignity is about to die soon]].]]

* Will giving Hannibal yet another WhamLine. Hannibal surrendered to the FBI after Will told him he wanted nothing more to do with him, just so that Will could never be free of him. Will then reveals that when Hannibal thought his surrender was of his own terms, it was actually because that was what Will ''wanted'' him to do]]. Therefore he is hammering in the fact that he succeeded where he failed last time: [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame playing with Hannibal's obsession with him to ultimately get him into prison]].

** In the same episode, Peter is severely emotionally traumatised as his social worker Clark Ingram released all of his animals and then killed a horse. He also possesses severe brain damage from a horse kick to the head. Yet he still manages to subdue Ingram despite being unarmed and his assailant wielding a hammer, knock him out, and then stitch Ingram into a horse. He wanted Ingram to feel the pain and trauma that Ingram inflicted on his victims.

* Even when Will [[spoiler: accepts that he enjoys killing and reciprocates Hannibal's feelings, he still shows one last act of defiance towards Hannibal by [[TakingYouWithMe throwing them both off the cliff]].]] Admit it, even if you can't help but rejoice at the fact that [[spoiler: they finally became a couple, it's still shocking ''and'' cathartic to see that Will has retained enough morality to kill his long-time nemesis, who has caused him no end of suffering -- thus pulling an act that results in quite the literal cliffhanger.]]

* When Will enlists Hannibal's help in discovering the identity of the Tooth Fairy, Alana is all too aware that Hannibal is planning to play mind games with Will again. When she visits him in the asylum, she reminds him that all the privileges he currently have are there under one condition: his cooperative behavior. She proceeds to warn him that if he tries to do anything to Will, she'll take them away in an instant. It's satisfying to see her having complete power over Hannibal after she spent half the second season being manipulated by him.

-->[[spoiler: '''Gideon''']]: Snails aren't the only creatures who prefer eating with company. If only that company could be Will Graham.

* When Will returns to the FBI, he enlists Hannibal's help in discovering the identity of the Tooth Fairy. Alana is all too aware that Hannibal is planning to play mind games with Will again. When she visits him in the asylum, she reminds him that all the privileges he currently have are there under one condition: his cooperative behavior.

-->'''Alana''': I know what you're afraid of. It's not pain or solitude. It's indignity. You're like a cat that way. I'll take your books, I'll take your drawings, I'll take your toilet. You'll have nothing but indignity and the company of the dead.

* Will punching Mason Verger in the face, especially Mason's apparent confusion at what's happening. Will then calmly threatens to throw Mason to his own pigs, and then points a gun at Mason's head, before finally deciding it would be more fitting to have Mason kill Hannibal.

* Will defiantly biting Cordell's ear off.

* Will giving Hannibal yet another WhamLine. Hannibal [[spoiler: surrendered to the FBI after Will told him he wanted nothing more to do with him, just so that Will could never be completely free of him]]. Will then reveals that [[spoiler: when Hannibal thought his surrender was of his own terms, it was actually because that was what Will ''wanted'' him to do]]. Therefore he is hammering in the fact that [[spoiler: he succeeded where he failed last time: [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame playing with Hannibal's obsession with him to ultimately send him to prison]]]].

-->'''Will''': You turned yourself in, so I would always know where you were. ''You'd only do that if I rejected you''.

* Will also does very well in the episode "Fromage", when he's garrotted from behind by [[spoiler: Tobias]], trapping his hand and his gun close to his head. So Will tilts the gun back and fires it, deafening them both and dazing his attacker, forcing [[spoiler: Tobias]] to release him.

** Even cooler is when [[spoiler: Will copies this method in the finale having analysed it the episode before, using it to escape his own handcuffs.]]

* Though the context makes it rather painful, [[spoiler:what with Will being incarcerated and Hannibal getting off scot-free]], there is something undeniably awesome about the final scene of the finale: Will making it clear as crystal that [[spoiler:he knows Hannibal is the killer and, to a lesser extent, that he's fucking pissed rather than afraid]]... and Hannibal smirking in vaguely triumphant amusement. [[spoiler: The scene can be seen as an evil Crowning Moment for Hannibal too, since it's incredible for a serial killer to successfully frame the investigator of his crimes for the killings.]]
* Let's face it; there's a meta moment for the Hannibal fandom. The show was getting low ratings and in danger of being cancelled, but the fandom rose to the challenge and, through various ingenious and imaginative Twitter and Tumblr campaigns, managed to make the show one of the most talked about series of the year, ensuring its' renewal for a second season.

* Roland Umber, the man abducted by the eye-mural killer in "Kaiseki" wakes up and escapes at the start of the next episode, as his previous heroin usage gave him resistance to the deadly dose of opiates. After tearing his flesh pulling himself from the glue and stitches of the mural, Umber manages to smash the lock of the container holding him and run out. [[spoiler: Of course the killer then sees Umber and hunts him through a forest and cornfield, with the victim doing well to avoid the killer's sight and rifle. Backed up against a high river cliff and facing the killer, he jumps off the edge, only just hitting the side and dying.]]

* Will effortlessly deducing the nature of the finished eye mural just from looking at a picture. [[spoiler: He quickly works out that Hannibal saw the man from the roof hole, then stitched in the murderer and took a leg as a trophy. Then he seamlessly pretends that he has no idea it was Hannibal who did it.]] Even Hannibal looks surprised with Will's speed. Best of all Will breaks out his catchphrase for the first time of Season 2: "This is my design". Then he eerily subverts it with "''You'' are not my design," [[spoiler:when he works out how Hannibal changed the mural.]]

* Chilton deserves his own in "Futamono". He's the only person outside of Gideon and Will that believes that Hannibal Lecter is the Chesapeake Ripper, and repeatedly tries to convince Jack of this. Never once does he back down, despite Hannibal making not-so-subtle threats. It's pretty major character development for a man who was seen as little more than a greasy, sassy sleazeball in the first season.

* The exact details aren't known yet, but the animalistic killer of "Shiizakana"? Who mauled at least three people? [[spoiler: Was killed by Will Graham, with his bare hands.]]

* Will punching Mason Verger in the face, especially Verger's apparent confusion at what's happening. Will then calmly threatens to throw Mason to his own pigs, and then points a gun at Mason's head, before finally deciding it would be more fitting to have Mason kill Hannibal.

** Will telling Hannibal straight out about the above-mentioned stuff with Mason, along with an unintentional IronicEcho (as he wasn't there to hear Hannibal say it the first time) that he was curious to see what would happen.
** [[spoiler:Jack revealing that he's even keeping Will in the dark about some parts of their plan to take down Hannibal, as after a great deal of effort he's managed to locate Dr. Du Maurier and get her safely into FBI custody.]]

** [[spoiler:Carlo taking Hannibal down Matthew Brown style, by bringing a taser to a knife fight.]]

--->'''Hannibal''': Do you think you could change me? The way I've changed you?
--->'''Will''': ''I already did''.

** Honestly, credit where it's due: Hannibal managed to [[spoiler: beat Jack Crawford in hand to hand combat (allegations of cheating aside), and then outmaneuver both Alana and Will with schemes he had arranged prior to the confrontations. This is one of the crowning examples of both his short and long-term planning skills. TheBadGuyWins, indeed.]]

* In a meta way, the finale of Season 3 catering fully to Hannigram fans. It's also one of the few network television shows to openly feature not one but possibly ''two'' homosexual or bisexual couples in the main cast: Margot and Alana, and [[spoiler: Hannibal and Will.]] The series finale leans heavily towards the second interpretation, due to the romantic undertones.

* Will giving Hannibal yet another WhamLine. Hannibal surrendered to the FBI after Will told him he wanted nothing more to do with him, just so that Will could never be completely free of him. Will then reveals that when Hannibal thought his surrender was of his own terms, it was actually because that was what Will ''wanted'' him to do. The line itself hammers in the fact that he succeeded where he failed in Season 2: mainly [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame playing with Hannibal's obsession with him to ultimately send him to prison]].

* Hannibal and Will vs. Dolarhyde, Hannibal wielding a wood-axe after being shot, and Will pulling a knife out of his face to use. "Murder husbands" indeed!

* Will giving Hannibal yet another WhamLine. Hannibal surrendered to the FBI after Will told him he wanted nothing more to do with him, just so that Will could never be completely free of him. Will then reveals that when Hannibal thought his surrender was of his own terms, it was actually because that was what Will ''wanted'' him to do.

* Will giving Hannibal yet another WhamLine. In "Digestivo", Hannibal surrendered to the FBI after Will told him he wanted nothing more to do with him, just so that Will could never be completely free of him. Will then hammers in the fact that when Hannibal thought his surrender was of his own terms, it was actually because that was what Will wanted him to do.

* After seeing Fredricka Lounds get away with a ''lot'' in "Amuse-Bouche" and smugly telling Crawford he can't arrest her for writing the article about Will, it's great to see her get taken down a peg or two when he points out she's been contaminating crime scenes and he ''can'' indict her for obstructing justice.

* In the pulled episode, "Œuf", the killer of the week is holding a child hostage and has Graham at gunpoint. Graham's just about to surrender to save the child, when boom! Beverly Katz shoots the woman in the shoulder from the shrubbery and takes her down in a second.

* Whether you love Freddie Lounds or hate her, you have to admire her for staying calm and never losing her cool when she's kidnapped by Gideon, [[spoiler:forced to watch him operate on Chilton and then keep Chilton alive by pumping air for him.]]

* Crawford vs. Hannibal. Every move is perfectly choreographed and shot, giving us a strong contender for the greatest fight scene in TV history.

* Dr. Du Maurier, now suspecting Will is right about Hannibal, tells him she's quitting as his therapist, not showing any fear despite being alone with him as he advances towards her. And she actually does get out alive and even tells Will she believes him.

* Will's lawyer effortlessly undermines Freddie Lounds' accusation against Will of being a murderer in the eyes of the jury by forcing her to admit in court that she's been sued for libel six times, and settled each time.

* Crawford says he understands if [[spoiler: Zeller and Price want time to grieve and don't want to examine Katz' remains, but Price is firm -- "We're not running away from this, Jack. Beverly wouldn't."]]
* Chilton deserves his own in "Futamono". He's the only person outside of Gideon and Will that accepts Hannibal Lecter is the Chesapeake Ripper, and repeatedly tries to convince Jack of this. Never once does he back down, despite Hannibal making not-so-subtle threats. It's pretty major character development for a man who was seen as little more than a greasy, sassy sleazeball in the first season.

* Crawford vs. Hannibal, Round 2. Unlike their first fight, Crawford completely ''owns'' the whole thing, smacking Hannibal around with almost contemptuous ease until the heretofore invincible-seeming MagnificentBastard is forced to limp away bloody and broken. Highlights include:

--->'''Will''': I already did.

* Different character, same episode: Will Graham [[PapaWolf chases down Abigail's kidnapper]] and saves her bacon.

** Also some FridgeBrilliance: some people thought [[spoiler:Hannibal really should have done better in the fight (Tobias did ''seem'' to have an edge until the end), but watch carefully--after he took some impressive-looking damage (his arm, his leg, a few facial wounds) he proceeds to '''[[CurbStompBattle curb stomp]]''' Tobias: first using a rope-a-dope on a rather conveniently placed ladder (that ''he himself moved'' during the course of the fight) to pin and break Tobias' arm, then an almost nonchalant larynx strike that drops Tobias like a sack of potatoes. Following that, he not only uses a tablecloth to pick up the deer statue before smashing Tobias' head with it, he uses the tablecloth to tip over the table it was on--no fingerprints means it looks like Tobias fell against it, dropping the statue on his own head. He was making sure that he looked beat up when the law arrived. After all, an opera-loving psychiatrist shouldn't be able to easily dispatch a psychopathic murderer who took down two cops.]]

* In the season finale, Alana ''finally'' figures out that [[spoiler:Will is suffering from encephalitis]] when she hears him mention [[spoiler:Lecter having him draw a clock, which prompts her to ask him to do it again and lets her see how distorted it is, meaning that Will has a physiological reason for his behavior]]. She looks [[TearsOfJoy ready to cry from relief]] and at that point the audience is too.
* Though the context makes it rather painful, [[spoiler:what with Will being incarcerated and Hannibal getting off scot-free]], there is something undeniably awesome about the final scene of the finale: Will making it clear as crystal that [[spoiler:he knows Hannibal is the killer and, to a lesser extent, that he's fucking pissed rather than afraid]]... and Hannibal smirking in vaguely triumphant amusement [[spoiler: The scene can be seen as an evil Crowning Moment for Hannibal too, since it's incredible for a serial killer to successfully frame the investigator of his crimes for the killings.]]

* Will's lawyer effortlessly undermines Freddie Lound's accusation against Will of being a murderer in the eyes of the jury by forcing her to admit in court that she's been sued for libel six times, and settled each time.
* Bella Crawford, reeling from chemotherapy and having just been revived from a suicide attempt, summons every bit of strength left to her and slaps Hannibal across the face.

* The fight scene in Hannibal's basement, even though it's brief and mostly off screen. [[spoiler: Hannibal moves almost inhumanly fast to strike out the lights as Beverly shoots at him. The camera then pans up while several gun shots are heard, before finally a bullet goes up through the ceiling. It just works as a very effective sign that Hannibal got close enough to Beverly to force her arm up, and so she's now a goner.]]

* Hate him or not, there is something that is both chilling and beautiful about the way Hannibal [[spoiler: sets up Dr. Chilton in "Yakimono"]]. It's obvious from the prep with [[spoiler: Miriam Lass]] that he had been planning to execute such a plan for quite some time. Conditioning someone thus does not happen overnight. But he plays everything perfectly, and once he realizes Jack is having [[spoiler: Miriam]] look at him through the one-way mirror at FBI headquarters, engineers everything so that [[spoiler: Chilton will be next at that table. He doesn't even have to be there for the execution.]]
* A very subtle one, but no less awesome, in "Yakimono" is near the end of the episode when Will tells Hannibal "I'd like to resume my therapy." And for no more than an instant, you can see surprise in Hannibal's face, which for anybody else would be the equivalant of a flat "What..." and a unhinged jaw. Will actually surprised him.

** Will has Randall at his mercy with a double barreled shotgun, then he chucks it away for intimacy's sake. Tier tries to crush Will's face in with his [[PoweredArmor hydraulic cave bear skull suit]], but Will traps the jaws up against the wall, lays him out with a [[NoHoldsbarredBeatdown bloody knuckled smack-down]] before breaking the bastard's neck. ''With his hands.'' All while hallucinating him as the Ravenstag, Hannibal himself and the Wendigo.

** Despite all of the advantages that Hannibal has in the episode, Will still manages to give him a brutal WhamLine that confirms just how much he has effected and changed Hannibal throughout their time together. Whether he wants to admit it or not, Will ''has'' managed to creep under the doctor's emotional walls and make him feel more than anybody else since Mischa, [[spoiler: including hurting him with an inevitable betrayal.]] Hannibal doesn't deny it.

** After being manipulated by Hannibal for most of the second season, Alana finally gets the opportunity [[spoiler: to confront Hannibal and she doesn't hesitate to point a gun at him, especially after discovering that Jack was trapped and injured in the pantry. If Hannibal hadn't removed the bullets ahead of time, there's no doubt that Alana would have shot him dead right there in his own blood soaked kitchen.]]

** Honestly, credit where it's due: Hannibal managed to [[spoiler: beat Jack Crawford in hand to hand combat (allegations of cheating aside), and then outmaneuver both Alana and Will with schemes he had arranged prior to the confrontations. This is one of the crowning examples of both his short and long term planning skills. TheBadGuyWins, indeed.]]

* Alana showing just how much she's moved out of her time as TheScrappy in the previous season, declaring that she's ready to deliver some Old Testament style justice to Hannibal.

** Jack using a few of the museum exhibits against Hannibal, such as by driving a meathook through his leg and crushing his arm in the spokes of the wheel.

* One on a meta level: During Season 2, NBC was very skittish about referencing Margot's homosexuality, resulting in just a few notoriously vague lines about it. This season? She gets a not ambiguous in the slightest sex scene with Alana. Happy Pride!

* The biggest difference between this incarnation of Hannibal Lecter and all the others is surely the most awesome; throughout the entire series, he has managed to outwit, outfox, outsmart, outplay, and outlast his adversaries, staying just ahead enough to avoid capture or death. Until finally, the only reason the FBI finally caught him, was because he TURNED HIMSELF IN. And even then, managed to manipulate the situation well enough to be declared criminally insane -- and avoid the death penalty. Allowing him to continue his machinations from his prison. MagnificentBastard indeed!

* Hannibal and Will vs. Dolarhyde, Hannibal wielding a wood-axe after being shot, and Will pulling a knife out of his face to use. 'Murder-husbands' indeed!

* The first scene in "Kaiseki" with Will and Hannibal on screen together. Will is no longer the confused investigator of the last season, and he can actually see Hannibal for the villain that he is. What really makes it a CrowningMomentofAwesome is the BadassBoast at the end:

--->'''Hannibal''': Did you think you could change me? The way I've changed you?"

* The biggest difference between this incarnation of Hannibal Lector and all the others is surely the most awesome; throughout the entire series, he has managed to outwit, outfox, outsmart, outplay, and outlast his adversaries, staying just ahead enough to avoid capture or death. Until finally, the only reason the FBI finally caught him, was because he TURNED HIMSELF IN. And even then, managed to manipulate the situation well enough to be declared criminally insane -- and avoid the death penalty. Allowing him to continue his machinations from his prison.

* In a meta way, the finale of Season 3 catering fully to Hannigram fans.
