yeah last half of season two/first half of season three lived up to what y'all said, they really sustained that feeling of unreality. excited to get into the red dragon stuff if a little sad that it's obv going to snap back into more terrestrial rhythms

imo instead of joe anderson they should've replaced michael pitt verger with that puppet

appreciating these silly recaps
― mh, Wednesday, 20 July 2016 15:05 (seven years ago) link
I'd also recommend the gag reels/outtakes from the different Hannibal seasons if you need some levity or just want to see the actors goofing on set. There's something about seeing Mikkelsen in character as an incredibly meticulous Hannibal juxtaposed with a shot of him completely forgetting how to tie a tie that's hilarious
― mh, Wednesday, 20 July 2016 15:41 (seven years ago) link
imo this was a great show about the power of friendship

I love the puppet hannibal recaps and I would like to pay the man to do all my favorite shows please.

I recently again saw Bryan Fuller's gleeful tweet about how they got "button stitching" past the censors. Classic censor-dodging.

I loved those puppet recaps!!

Just watched all of this in about three days

I wasn't quite sure what we were meant to infer (in S3) about what happened with Hannibal and Mischa
Apart from that and a few killers of the week being a bit corny, what a show
― Never changed username before (cardamon), Tuesday, 20 September 2016 13:07 (seven years ago) link
I'm not usually sensitive to stuff like this, but what those final couple of episodes with Chilton... man, really disturbing. That might have shaken me more than anything I've ever seen on television.
― Evan R, Monday, 17 October 2016 18:51 (seven years ago) link
That was the leg? Or did he get skinned?
― Never changed username before (cardamon), Monday, 17 October 2016 19:18 (seven years ago) link
His lips being bitten off. Then the rest of his face being burned off.
― Evan R, Monday, 17 October 2016 19:35 (seven years ago) link
the lips biting off was def hard on the eyes
― Spottie, Monday, 17 October 2016 19:36 (seven years ago) link
iirc that sequence was very specifically lit/designed to not upset censors
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 18 October 2016 05:08 (seven years ago) link
It's a sign of how few people were watching that nobody was upset about it

Thu Jun 8, 2017, 9:00 PM | IFC Center
A special theatrical screening of the finale of NBC’s “Hannibal,” a nightmare fantasy from Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies) that reinterpreted Thomas Harris’ novels through the eyes of an expressionist, polymorphous sensualist. Reworking much of the plot of Harris’ Red Dragon, but in a more hallucinatory way than in earlier film versions, the finale builds to an orgiastic release of pent-up intellectual and sexual energy so intense that viewers may need a cigarette and a towel afterward.
Fuller will join the audience via Skype to discuss the finale, the legacy of his cult classic, his new Starz series American Gods, and what a hypothetical fourth season of “Hannibal” would look like. A panel of New York-based Fannibals will discuss the legacy of the show, including its impact on popular art.
In person: Leila Taylor, Creative Director at the Brooklyn Public Library; novelist Rob Hart (New Yorked, The Woman from Prague); composer Matt Marks of Alarm Will Sound; illustrator and author Janice Poon, food stylist for Hannibal and author of Feeding Hannibal; Dr. Lori Morimoto, independent scholar of fan studies; (via Skype) Hannibal creator and executive producer Bryan Fuller.

I've read most of this thread (up to the end of where I am on the show, end of season 2). I can't believe all this blood was on NBC; it makes us giggle every time there are uber violent slashings.
I should go back and rewatch Wonderfalls. I think I tried when it was on but it didn't grab me. I may be in the minority where the character of Alana Bloom grates on me.

gasp
― j., Tuesday, 12 March 2019 13:37 (five years ago) link
yeah, I've been rooting for her to die. I just keep saying "why is this character so thirsty."
― Yerac, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 13:40 (five years ago) link
I'd be interested in knowing how much gore was reinstated for the DVDs because, yes, this show is stunningly graphic.
Just remembered that I never actually finished the series because binging all three seasons in one straight shot became incredibly oppressive at a point. Almost unquestionably the darkest show ever aired on network television.
― Goody Rickels on the Dime (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 13:44 (five years ago) link
AFAIK the DVD edits aren't any different? The episodes as originally aired were unbelievably violent
― Simon H., Tuesday, 12 March 2019 13:48 (five years ago) link
iirc alana has a slight character shift in season 3 that is incredibly excellent
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 13:53 (five years ago) link
I think I am going to finish all three seasons in 3 weeks (netflix in south america). I don't know. All the gore with the blaséness of Hannibal and the ridiculousness of some situations gives it levity. I didn't read any of the books and have only seen SilenceotL.It reminds me of The Cell a bit although I haven't seen that since it was in the theaters.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 13:54 (five years ago) link
LIke the season 2 finale was so extreme we both were laughing.

I think the only major change from the tv release is the inclusion of an episode they left out? The one with Molly Shannon (?) in the first season was pulled due to current events involving child murderers.
― mh, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 15:02 (five years ago) link
Alana isn't much of a character really but I like Dhavernas a lot
― Simon H., Tuesday, 12 March 2019 15:03 (five years ago) link
I thought she was miscast, but then I saw upthread that she was in Wonderfalls so that makes sense now.
I am really glad that they went with Mads over David Tennant. I liked Tennant as the villain in Jessica Jones but his presence is completely different.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 15:06 (five years ago) link
Wonderfalls is great, and Dhavernas is very different on it.
The murders on this show were so insanely over the top. The totem pole of corpses, the angel wings, the mushroom people!
― Roz, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 15:20 (five years ago) link
I really liked the first couple of seasons of Vikings so the blood eagle (angel wings) was very familiar.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 15:34 (five years ago) link
the imagery in the grain silo episodes was amazing
― mh, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 15:35 (five years ago) link
I've been enjoying this twitter account lately: https://twitter.com/madsdoingthings
Mads is a ridiculous person.
― Roz, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 15:38 (five years ago) link
I have a friend who admitted she was more interested in Hugh Dancy and his portrayal of Will over Mads
she is dead to me now
― mh, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 15:40 (five years ago) link
I am going to waste so much time today on that twitter.
Hugh Dancy is fine. Ugh imagine if it was him and David Tennant. Much too similar.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 15:44 (five years ago) link
^^oh god no. Yeah that just wouldn't work at all.
