THE WHOLE DAMN HANNIBAL'S OUT OF ORDER!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 29 January 2020 20:54 (four years ago) link
A swan at the pond in Pembroke Castle in Wales has killed 15 others that have dared to invade his territory. He has been seen to bite them, batter them with his wings and drown them by holding their heads under water. The creature, nicknamed Hannibal, is said to “show off” to his mate and cygnet after a kill, swimming round with his wings up. However, he and his family are now likely to be removed. Maria Evans, a wildlife worker, said: “I’ve never come across such an aggressive bird. He is a horrible swan.” Hannibal will have blood tests to see if his behaviour is caused by pollution in the pond.

Hannibal's fourth season has been left up in the air since the series' cancelation by NBC, but Fuller still has hope - and plans - for the future.
Other details involved his interest in bringing back Anna Chlumsky as Miriam Lass, an FBI trainee who worked under Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) before being captured by Hannibal and kept hostage for two years. Lee Pace, according to Fuller, was whom he wished to cast as Buffalo Bill if he got the opportunity to explore The Silence of the Lambs arc. As for Clarice, who is arguably Hannibal's primary interest in many ways, Fuller said that her inclusion "depends on how Season 4 would have ended." He had expressed interest in casting Ellen Page in the role, but also potentially making Clarice a black woman from a lower-class background, which would essentially give him license to put his own creative stamp on the character in Hannibal's future.

moving the Murder Husbands stuff from subtext to text cost the show a lot (for me anyway)

I still can’t believe this show, particularly season 2, exists

So good I had to post it twice

I’ve been rewatching for the first time since it aired too and really enjoying the bluntly askew ncisisms throughout season one

This is sadly prob not going to happen in a time zone where I’ll actually be awake but in case others are interested:

I noticed it's on Netflix. Did they restore the episode that originally got pulled? I've still never seen it.

the molly shannon one? it was included when the show was streaming on prime, can't imagine it's not there
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 26 June 2020 01:26 (three years ago) link
i watched that one a week ago or so on netflix so yeah it's there

gotcha

I just started this now, because I'm playing Buffalo Bill in a filmed Shakespearean-era reimagined Silence (do not ask...).
I am fucking enthralled by everything about this show. I immersed so hard in it that when both my roommates randomly didn't come home for two nights without warning me...I was legit freaked out!

I'm in S2 right now right after Katz found his fucking basement, but that didn't give me chills anywhere near as much as Hannibal heartlessly reviving Crawford's wife, who lets out a pained "no...." upon realizing he brought her back
― muntjac wagner (Neanderthal), Sunday, 23 August 2020 05:20 (three years ago) link
not having read the books (call me a fuckin' poseur idfc), I didn't realize the Garrett Jacob Hobbs thing came from the Red Dragon book (I only knew him as a throwaway reference in Manhunter).
I find myself having a blast figuring out Hannibal's motives. it's an interesting twist to have Will's discovery of Hannibal be this long, prolonged Cassandra-esque Greek tragedy as opposed to him just accidentally stumbling upon the fact during a series of visits to interview him about a patient he treated that was a victim of the Chesapeake ripper.
Will being arrested and on trial for murder didn't sit well with me at first (mostly because I figure he's going to be acquitted and returned to the field, based on what I've read about the show), and I just can't imagine him doing that.
was gonna watch another ep. debating whether to or not. i do have to sleep at some point. or do I?

I'm about 5 or 6 episodes into the first season and still on the fence about it. I get frustrated with the baddie of the week format that overwhelms the main storyline a lot of the time.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 23 August 2020 05:58 (three years ago) link
That will ... become less of a problem ;)
― muntjac wagner (Neanderthal), Sunday, 23 August 2020 06:06 (three years ago) link
Don’t worry, the procedural format goes away eventually - it was really just bait to draw in your regular NBC weeknight viewer.
I love seeing people get into this show for the first time! it’s still incredible it ever got made.
― Roz, Sunday, 23 August 2020 06:07 (three years ago) link
it really is

agree with the complaints about Izzard upthread - he's theatrical when everybody else is doing television-level acting. it comes across like one of my least favorite bit characters from Sweeney Todd, Jonas Fogg, who has the most ridiculous dialogue, and in community theaters, is often played by people who are over the top and goofy.
Izzard's not exactly over the top, but his affected speech feels forced (not least due to the work of disguising an accent, which tbh, I wish he didn't do). he seems to be *trying* to come across as maniacal but it feels phony.
― muntjac wagner (Neanderthal), Sunday, 23 August 2020 06:34 (three years ago) link
I thought Izzard was mostly ok, especially after I realized he was there as a way for the producers to Trojan horse Hopkins’ version of Hannibal into the show
― 3:10 to yur mom (voodoo chili), Sunday, 23 August 2020 11:57 (three years ago) link
izzard’s good imo. gets a lot of good scenes in the third season iirc
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Sunday, 23 August 2020 12:34 (three years ago) link
his self-conscious, theatrical monstrousness contrasts perfectly with hannibal's subtlety

i admit that although a central feature of its expression some of the gore at the end of S2 got to me a bit. still, again, the series becomes quite artful in creating little dantean/infernal cells for people out of their demise.
― Fizzles, Sunday, 23 August 2020 15:56 (three years ago) link
the final season is loopy beyond belief and fumbles into more of a fever dream than anything else but boy is it good
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Sunday, 23 August 2020 16:06 (three years ago) link
the only thing that bugs me, and it's not a major deterrent, is some of the problem I had with early Dexter - these people recklessly bounce from presumed suspect to other presumed suspect way too easily, for the Chesapeake Ripper, like dogs following a bouncing ball. Too easily manipulated.
the other thing that bugged me (again, minor) is if Hannibal insisted on being investigated as a courtesy, you mean to tell me they didn't investigate his house and find his basement? Or did he move it to an offsite location? seems whatever was down there, uhh, probably wasn't easy to move
― muntjac wagner (Neanderthal), Sunday, 23 August 2020 16:18 (three years ago) link
oh you'll get to the basement

btw, you have inspired me to schedule a rewatch of this shortly, partner is very much down.

I started watching this this week and I’m ridiculously into it. Why did I take so long to watch it?!What’s to say about this not already said upthread (haven’t read due to spoilers)? The casting is amazing, and Gillian Anderson in the most recent episode is such a treat. The show is camp in the proper ironic sense of the meaning. How many times does it do that thing where they’re investigating a murder where someone has had their organs taken for the dinner table and they’re like, in deadly seriousness, “what do you think, Hannibal?”Also, that scene where he’s thumbing through his Rolodex for people to kill is hilarious.Oh and I knew already this was a huge slash fandom, but honestly, can’t get over some of the content? “Did you just smell me?” I feel it’s only going to get much worse and the show clearly loves torturing Will Graham.

After all this praise I made myself give it another go and cried uncle after 8 or 9 episodes. Maybe I'm a disgusting savage, but it's just a gussied up Criminal Minds.
Anna Chlumsky is fantastic though. I CANNOT with the Will character. The food is fun. Lecter's suits were fun but they get samey. Izzard is not good

thanks for pointing out the sly humor, gyac. feel like that's an underrated part of the show.

rvw, if you never made it to the 2nd season, you just haven't seen the show yet.

arrgh okay! i'll finish S1 at 1.5x then

last few episodes of s1 are excellent iirc
