I hope I am wrong but I think this will get pumped for the likes of Believe to survive, that is depressing.

I hope NBC will keep this around for prestige purposes (it's quite critically acclaimed now, I think), like how Geffen kept Sonic Youth signed despite them not selling shit compared to their label peers. Hannibal is the Sonic Youth of network TV.

Apparently the Euro co-financing helps it out, too.

.. Hannibal would have been a goner last year - but it was saved because its almost entirely paid for by its international co-production status, with NBC having very little financial risk (if any) involved. That, capped off by the glowing reviews, could (and hopefully will) once more bring Dr. Lecter back. If NBC does cancel it, there's also hope that another outlet picks it up, which was in the cards last year when the show was in the same precarious situation.

I'm not so hot on this season so far. It's insanely beautiful and the score is amazing, but I'm less and less involved in the narrative. The turn with Will this week was dispiriting.
― Simon H., Sunday, 30 March 2014 17:32 (ten years ago) link
I'm way more into the show this season, now that they've put the overarching plot at the forefront and put the serial killer of the week stuff as support.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Sunday, 30 March 2014 17:39 (ten years ago) link
so this season the arc is going to be hints about who killed beverly?
don't like how they've kept this chesapeake ripper thing going so long and we still have no idea who it is -- hope the series doesn't founder because the audience gets tired of not knowing.
― eric banana (s.clover), Sunday, 30 March 2014 17:53 (ten years ago) link
uh the chesapeake ripper is hannibal
― Clay, Sunday, 30 March 2014 17:57 (ten years ago) link
they already suggested will is the ripper, and now they seem to be saying maybe he isn't. pulling the same twist twice with hannibal seems like it would be lazy writing imho
― eric banana (s.clover), Sunday, 30 March 2014 18:00 (ten years ago) link
also mads is a fan favorite, it would really break a lot of hearts :-(
― eric banana (s.clover), Sunday, 30 March 2014 18:04 (ten years ago) link
canonically speaking hannibal is known as the chesapeake ripper tho. i mean spoiler alert i guess but
― Clay, Sunday, 30 March 2014 18:07 (ten years ago) link
like in red dragon whatever will graham's level of public acknowledgement is attained by having caught 'hannibal the cannibal' also known as 'the chesapeake ripper'
or cf the hannibal lecter wikipedia page
Nickname(s) Hannibal the CannibalThe Chesapeake Ripper
i mean also whenever jack considers the ripper he sees the hannibal-as-stag figure?
― Clay, Sunday, 30 March 2014 18:10 (ten years ago) link
i haven't read the books or seen the movies so i don't know what canon you're talking about, do you think this is like a comic book with continuity geeks or something
― eric banana (s.clover), Sunday, 30 March 2014 18:11 (ten years ago) link
xpost stop trying to spoil the show!
yes
― Clay, Sunday, 30 March 2014 18:11 (ten years ago) link
the show is extremely upfront with hannibal being the ripper imo?
i mean will says it over and over again cassandra-like
― Clay, Sunday, 30 March 2014 18:12 (ten years ago) link
sorry i ruined the show everybody but the guy who eats people is the bad guy
whatever, stop insisting your weird fanfic is canon
― eric banana (s.clover), Sunday, 30 March 2014 18:12 (ten years ago) link
my weird fanfic aka the novels written 30 years ago
― Clay, Sunday, 30 March 2014 18:14 (ten years ago) link
um clay otm - i think the show is pretty obvious with the fact that Hannibal is the Chesapeake Ripper? Although he's usually seen committing copycat kills (Garrett Jacob Hobbs, the mural artist, etc) for his own purposes (to frame Will, his own amusement, testing a hypothesis etc.).

xpost sigh. Hannibal killed that one girl (whose brother Abigail killed) as a 'copycat' murder of Garrett Jacob Hobbs, to help Will solve the case. that's what i meant by copycat kill.
And he killed the mural artist, in the style of the mural artist... but left enough of his own mark (taking the organs) for Beverly to figure that this was the work of the Chesapeake Ripper - the guy who steals vital organs from his victims as trophies.
― Roz, Sunday, 30 March 2014 18:29 (ten years ago) link
also hannibalgifs otm
― Roz, Sunday, 30 March 2014 18:30 (ten years ago) link
we don't know who killed that other girl -- at one point the show suggested it was will, like acting unconsciously?
i dont get why everyone has to make up weird theories about this show instead of just enjoying the ride

The one he was wearing while preparing her dinner and chatting her up, it was nice. I was thinking how it'd work with some pants I have.
