They have continued to say that they'll deal with that problem when it arrives, which should be 2 years or so from now.

Not only that, they've also cast Katharine Isabelle (from Ginger Snaps and American Mary) as Margot Verger, which makes it sound like they might be setting things up for the utterly gonzo batshit elements of Hannibal the novel that didn't make it into the movie.

apparently MGM can't use Hannibal in their Clarice Starling show though? Quite a pickle
― Number None, Friday, 31 January 2014 21:59 (ten years ago) link
I'm for some reason picturing Clarice as a more psychological Karen Sisco-style show

fucking media conglomerates and their IP rights bullshit. Executives, you're supposed to be smart. Sit the fuck down together and work out some deals so the public gets good shows and you can sell shitloads of adspace.

I swear TV is run by fucking morons. It's a miracle Hannibal got greenlit.

Keep in mind that if anyone but Bryan Fuller were running it, it would be complete dogshit.

well as it happens replacing visionary showrunners is something nbc is not afraid of experimenting with

just rescreened s01, it's so good
there are so many places where instead of doing the usual somewhat unaffected, or normally 'emoting' reaction shot in a conversation, hannibal will just be like STILL until it's time to respond, esp. when he's talking to will and will is caught up in some thing he's trying to get out, but when will is with the other investigators often HE'LL be still, but without being affectless, instead like he's just trying to bear continuing to exist until it comes his turn to force out a remark to communicate one of his insights about the case
also, caroline dhavernas, <3 <3 <3, gonna be so bummed when they end up killing her off

caroline and her dresses
Hving her back on a good series as opposed to shlocky Canadian movies has been great. I hope she gets more to do this season.

oh man, I ran across the Hannibal gif community on tumblr one day and it's like the sinkhole that never ends

Please can we not assume that everyone on thread is au fait with previous interpretations of this story!
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Thursday, 6 February 2014 02:06 (ten years ago) link
why does everyone think they know what's going to happen. like people on this thread thought hannibal was going to be the killer, but it turned out it was will.
― eric banana (s.clover), Thursday, 6 February 2014 02:17 (ten years ago) link
ay chap, i think i saw the ralph fiennes movie once but i don't know anything abt this other than cultural detritus, i just figure they're gonna kill her

exactly! xp

Overly explain-y new preview nevertheless has lots of gorgeous and compelling visuals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtDb89c7rWA

Watched some of this
Finally a show where every single character talks like dr chase meridian

Is three episodes enough to know whether I'm going to like this show or should I stick it out?
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 22:31 (ten years ago) link
yes and your answer is yes RIGHT

I don't know! I find the whole thing preposterous and Will and Abigail to be annoying. Also it's suffering from LOST disease where it seems like people are making the least logical choices just to advance the plot. Also it's gross! The mushroom people! Gah.
All of that could even out though and it's pretty and I really want to like it.
― carl agatha, Wednesday, 19 February 2014 00:58 (ten years ago) link
Also it's gross! The mushroom people! Gah.
This is clearly a plus point.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Wednesday, 19 February 2014 01:38 (ten years ago) link
you're right before a couple of monster of the week type episodes, before the main story really rolls in
― have a nice blood (mh), Wednesday, 19 February 2014 02:18 (ten years ago) link
Eeeeeee the people in the motel with the back skin wings how was this on broadcast TV?

suck it up, agatha...you're almost to the good stuff :D

mushroom people was the best and totally grossed me out for a little bit
― Spottie, Wednesday, 19 February 2014 03:06 (ten years ago) link
yeah I kinda dug mushroom ppl too. so gross.

the angel ppl one was cool for visuals, had a bit of a stephen king feel to it
the angel one was so horrifying i had the same "how did the network allow this" reaction.
― eric banana (s.clover), Wednesday, 19 February 2014 03:20 (ten years ago) link
i got confused by the scheduling and thought the angel one was the one they pulled because 0_O but apparently it was the kids-killing-kids one for reasons of timeliness
― j., Wednesday, 19 February 2014 03:31 (ten years ago) link
The monster of the week thing is what bugs me. Not that I need a story arc - I just have trouble accepting that there are so many horrific serial killers. And that Will just closes his eyes and uses the laser windshield wiper in his brain and knows exactly what happened.* And I hate how they all do Forensic Science in a room together like it's an Olympics of the Mind practice meet but with hideously butchered corpses.
*I've been watching a lot of OG Law & Order lately and it's ruining magic.
― carl agatha, Wednesday, 19 February 2014 04:06 (ten years ago) link
that whole csi monsters unit thing goes away like, almost immediately after crazy angel ppl

Heartening! Okay. I'm on board and feeling positive about it.
I will miss Scott Thompson, though.
― carl agatha, Wednesday, 19 February 2014 11:45 (ten years ago) link
There definitely is unbelievably many serial-killers in this show, but that's part of the world. It's like, the most depressing series ever, it makes me cry and gives me anxiety issues. And yet I love it.

Can one of the mega-fans of this show provide me with a brief precis of the state of play as of the end of season one? I seem to have have forgotten everything except the mushroom people, the tower of corpses, and Eddie Izzard.
