HANNIBAL on NBC seems amazing and therefore deserves it's own thread!

this show's so much better than it has any right to be

omg yes

now that we know will is the killer where is the show going to go

to infinity + beyond

or flavortown

i forget, did they actually discover/catch him?

because once he's caught they can probably get a lot of mileage out of reversing the whole visiting-hannibal-in-prison track that was laid down in prior verions

and then hannibal can let him out once he's wound him up

they caught will, yeah, he's in the slammer

yessssss

oh man

can.not.wait

SO PUMPED I do not want to wait another month!!

otm

Is this streaming on anything? I slacked off watching it on Hulu because watching stuff on my PC is an unbelievably aggravating experience and Amazon proudly announced they'd negotiated rights to stream it for Prime members, only to drop it a few weeks later...

back on prime, idiots at nbc musta had a rethink

Michael Pitt's gonna be Mason Verger.

oh shit

hilariously I just learned who played that character in that mediocre film version

omg yay

So I guess Silence is the only one they don't have the rights to?

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

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.

and on nbc of all places

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

lol 'this is my design', i forgot about that

hahaha! yeah and the weird pendulum/clock graphics.

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.

dresses, and skirts

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

i got that from the caroline dhavernas gif community so i think i am safe

also, caroline dhavernas, <3 <3 <3, gonna be so bummed when they end up killing her off

Please can we not assume that everyone on thread is au fait with previous interpretations of this story!

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.

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

hahaha

Is three episodes enough to know whether I'm going to like this show or should I stick it out?

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.

Also it's gross! The mushroom people! Gah.

This is clearly a plus point.

you're right before a couple of monster of the week type episodes, before the main story really rolls in
