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

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

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.

that whole csi monsters unit thing goes away like, almost immediately after crazy angel ppl

It's too bad, series needs more Scott Thompson

Heartening! Okay. I'm on board and feeling positive about it.
I will miss Scott Thompson, though.

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.

I sort of remember that Will's been arrested for the murders that Hannibal probably did, and he himself thinks he did them right? And everyone else thinks he did, but maybe not really? And then there's the daughter of that guy he killed knocking around who maybe killed some people too? It's a complicated show.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Saturday, 22 February 2014 03:28 (ten years ago) link
SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY
Nah, he spends most of the last few episodes thinking he's responsible, but by the very end he knows what's up. Abigail's dead, though; Hannibal feeds her to his psychiatrist.
OKAY THE SPOILERS ARE OVER NOW
― CAROUSEL! CAROUSEL! (Telephone thing), Saturday, 22 February 2014 03:37 (ten years ago) link
Yeah I probably need to rewatch the whole thing before S2 starts.

It took about 3 or 4 eps but once it hits it's stride there's really no other show like on it network tv.

this show is very silly. watched four episodes and i am not in. tone is so odd, there are some things that are working for me and so many that are not.

Wait, what does Gillian Anderson's character know about Hannibal? I didn't revisit S1 so I've forgotten.
Very enjoyable premiere so far.

i think she… only knows what she could surmise as his therapist? but she sometimes acts like she saw accurately through his person-mask, beyond just realizing that it was one?
― j., Saturday, 1 March 2014 03:50 (ten years ago) link
I ask because she was like, "You're putting me in the difficult position of lying about you", and I was like, wait, she knows? What does she know?
― Murgatroid, Saturday, 1 March 2014 04:01 (ten years ago) link
oh, i forget, she's aware of the inappropriateness of his patient relationships, and i think about someone she knew he was with (will?) when she was asked about it by the feds, though she kept it quiet just on general principle / concern for hannibal?
― j., Saturday, 1 March 2014 04:06 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, I think that's it. Thanks.
― Murgatroid, Saturday, 1 March 2014 04:17 (ten years ago) link
Man the sound design on this show is so unsettling
― Quinoa Phoenix (latebloomer), Saturday, 1 March 2014 06:56 (ten years ago) link
agh this show is so grossss.
didn't hannibal save gillian anderson from a violent patient before, under peculiar circumstances? jack tried to question her about something that she wouldn't disclose last season iirc.
― reddening, Saturday, 1 March 2014 07:08 (ten years ago) link
Yeah I think they intimated that he did something very twisted to the patient that attacked her
