I should probably stop watching Bryan Fuller shows. They always end up being cancelled before their time.

tbf this went the longest, and has the best chance at a 2nd life. im surprised dead like me & pushing daisies ever got to two, frankly. sometimes i still miss daisies.

Dead Like Me went to two, but Fuller left much earlier. And Pushing Daisies only managed 22 episodes. And yeah, I miss that show. And Wonderfalls!
― Frederik B, Monday, 22 June 2015 21:34 (eight years ago) link
never saw wonderfalls. daisies was so good/fully realized in its style that it surpassed all my usual defenses against twee things - much like hannibal has a lot of ppl watching extremely violent horror who don't watch horror
mockingbird lane was a disastrous experiment though, idk what ever possessed him to think that was a good idea

never really been into checking out this dude's other shows because I figured there was something about this one that gelled for me
what should I check out if I search out another one?

i hope they planned ahead and wrap up with a definitive answer on who the Chesapeake Ripper is before the end of the season :-(

xp pushing daisies would be my recommend, lotta ppl swear by dead like me though and they have similar vibes

Pushing Daisies is so great, and surprisingly morbid as well. The death count is prob not as high as in Hannibal, but it's up there!
― Frederik B, Monday, 22 June 2015 21:46 (eight years ago) link
Pushing Daisies is great but i can see it being overly sweet for some people. Wonderfalls was just great, though, really one of the strangest premises for a show ever done on a network, lotta unique stuff going on.
― some dude, Monday, 22 June 2015 22:15 (eight years ago) link
Oh man yeah Pushing Daisies was like eating a pound of Sweet and Low. So saccharine. I hated it.
I watched about 10 episodes of Dead Like Me and then forgot it existed. Maybe I'll try it again although the dynamic between the main character and Mandy Patinkin was tiresome.

that was my initial thought, too. and on Starz of all places!
― Upright Mammal (mh), Tuesday, 23 June 2015 03:01 (eight years ago) link
The fight scene + topless Mads = great episode!!
Also, is Hannibal eating a fig when Verger asks Bloom how she tastes? LOL

Oh nuts I forgot to watch this! Boo.

― Upright Mammal (mh), Friday, 3 July 2015 16:59 (eight years ago) link
Felt like an almost perfunctory thing considering it was exactly what happened in the book/film. Good turn to have Jack Crawford immediately wallop him.
― Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Friday, 3 July 2015 17:01 (eight years ago) link
Hannibal's little grin when he admits he called Verger's hotline just for fun was bewitching
― Upright Mammal (mh), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:04 (eight years ago) link
and Hannibal, for once, being seen in the act by Jack is such a great moment. cleaning off his knife, kind of glancing down at his friend seeing him as he really is
― Upright Mammal (mh), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:06 (eight years ago) link
"night and day must have been the same in the end" about Jack's wife
ties right back to Chiyo saying that night is a different world
― Upright Mammal (mh), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:07 (eight years ago) link
I am an episode behind but have we talked about how Joe Anderson has turned Mason Verger into Jim Carrey's Grinch
i hate it so much
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 5 July 2015 17:59 (eight years ago) link
it's a bit... offthis season feels much more abstract and campy than in the past but still excellent
― like a giraffe of nah (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 5 July 2015 18:11 (eight years ago) link
I love this season so far. Really appreciate what the show has done with Hannibal's backstory. The "origin" of his cannibslism as depicted in Hannibal the book and Hannibal Rising was pretty silly and defanged the character somewhat.
I'm fine with Anderson as Verger, he seems to be having fun gnawing the scenery.

otm.his makeup sux too, i hate how the top half of his face is just normal handsome guy. gary oldman's verger in the movie was so grotesque and memorable and it seems like a weird lapse on the show's part to just do a pale imitation of him, especially after successfully reimagining so many other characters.

maybe he got his skin grafts in 2015 and the technology is just better now
tbh I am going to blame people for having watched a live action Dr. Seuss adaptation if that's in yr heads :)

^ episode about the guy who does the music for Hannibal and how he's fucking with us all.
― from batman to balloon dog (carl agatha), Monday, 6 July 2015 14:31 (eight years ago) link
imo Brian Reitzell has a pretty impressive resume outside of Hannibal!
― Upright Mammal (mh), Monday, 6 July 2015 15:28 (eight years ago) link
all the Chiyoh + Will scenes are terrible - not sure whether it's the writing or the acting that's off but either way, feels like the show is dragging its feet a bit until Hannibal gets caught. Like what was the point of throwing Will out of the train again?
lol @ Mason Verger talking about Alana sucking Hannibal's dick though. show's ability to get off-colour jokes on network tv never fails to amuse.
the Kubrick homage during the Hannibal beatdown scene was a nice touch.
― Roz, Tuesday, 7 July 2015 01:06 (eight years ago) link
such a ridiculous joke and it's like the network didn't even pay attention
― Upright Mammal (mh), Tuesday, 7 July 2015 01:37 (eight years ago) link
i feel like i want to have gifs of about half of the exchanges in this show but with the characters adding BOOM to things at the end
― ♛ LIL UNIT ♛ (thomp), Tuesday, 7 July 2015 14:48 (eight years ago) link
This line from the most recent Previously TV recap cracked me up
Before I begin -- does anyone else think Joe Anderson's Mason Verger looks like a Greg Kinnear someone left on the radiator? Just me? Okay.
― tokyo rosemary, Sunday, 12 July 2015 23:30 (eight years ago) link

can't wait until the reveal that they knew it was coming and Hannibal actually kills half the cast mid-season
― Upright Mammal (mh), Monday, 13 July 2015 14:05 (eight years ago) link
lol
afaik they wrote this season's ending (as with all prior season endings) with the idea that it could be a final, closed ending. like if they'd gotten canceled last time around that wouldve been deeply awful but it sure as fuck would've been a concrete ending (i.e. "they're all fuckin dead i guess :[")
― slothroprhymes, Monday, 13 July 2015 14:44 (eight years ago) link
I'm really starting to wonder if there's anything to that roman diet Bedelia is on
― Upright Mammal (mh), Monday, 13 July 2015 14:56 (eight years ago) link
i thought he was feeding her to eat her.
― Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Monday, 13 July 2015 22:21 (eight years ago) link
but maybe she just likes escargot
yeah, I meant I wonder if it really does make meat taste better if you feed them that diet :D
― Upright Mammal (mh), Tuesday, 14 July 2015 14:23 (eight years ago) link
buried on Saturdays, effective immediately. that's just cruel.
