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

gillian anderson = lilith

lol i mean dr bedelia du maurier

I might be misremembering, but I think that one episode where Norm came to town ended with Frasier coercing him into fileting his own face?

lol @ bedelia as lilith

i mean only the dogs don't work really

lol this thread just took a right turn straight into the bin

I need someone to mark this thread as safe once this incident is over.

i cleared up the case by getting inside yr heads

I am going to rewatch the series starting tomorrow up to the New Year.

i still havent finished watching the final season - there is a definite type of headspace i need to be in &. i just cant find it lately. i find it so confusing & spend the whole time like “huh”?

it bums me out. i need to try harder - maybe reattempt over the holidays

I finally finished Wondefalls yesterday. I was meh on it, although the xtc theme is very good. And Alana is good in it.

^ This. It was grate but the further I went the more I felt like I was getting sucked into some of inescapable nihilistic void. Like, thanks for reflecting my everyday life so accurately, there, Hannibal, jeez.

you have to just let it wash over you imo

is "first half of s3 >>>>>> second half of s3" a minority opinion/challop? cause that's still very much where I'm at

i think most people agree with you but i think the quality is maintained throughout

it's not like the adaptation of red dragon isn't also an inside-out dreamscape

I am very much looking forward to luxuriating in it instead of being like 'wtf (giggle)' the entire time on first viewing.

I am kind of glad I had no clue what the deal was with any character or what any of the framing was about.

my issue w/ the back half of s3 is that the RD himself was no more compelling than any of the single-serving baddies from seasons past (also I've never been that fond of the finale tbh)

the red dragon himself was pretty silly. But it didn't bother me.

the finale is SO awesome

i've read and seen both film adaptations of red dragon so i'll always find that story compelling. i guess armitage is no tom noonan but who is (and i still think he does pretty well)

Supposedly, they started talking about a season 4 again.

got a link?

There was a tweet about it that set off some articles. https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a27646358/hannibal-season-4-2019-bryan-fuller/

I used to rep for Wonderfalls pretty hard, but last time I watched I had to admit it hasn't aged well. It does have a good premise, a mostly great cast, and a few stand-out eps, plus I think the second season could have been excellent. I wish Dhavernas had gotten more work.

yeah, I remember seeing one episode when it was on tv and thinking it was something I would really like but as I was watching it this month (all episodes on youtube), it felt very dated.

just me?

btw, they are finally making the television silence sequel that almost certainly doomed this perfect perfect show

Shortly after this was announced, Fuller said that its existence didn't necessarily preclude the possibility of a fourth season somewhere down the road, as they'd already accepted that they probably wouldn't be able to use Clarice anyway.

yeah, but the possibility of it and inaccessibility to the material is a large part of what shut down a hannibal season 4 iirc
anyway, what about honey harper? just me?

i don't understand the Honey Harper post?

looks to me like mads mikkelsen in a wig

RFI: are you high?

um, why do you ask
if you're a cop you have to tell me you're a cop

somebody has to agree with me about this
don't make me start a mads or not mads poll on this video

this is a vile insult to mads tbh

I had been trying to figure out which killer Honey Harper had played on the show.

Hannibal!

i don't think you should be driving, sir.

i don't think YOU should be hanniballing!

THE WHOLE DAMN HANNIBAL'S OUT OF ORDER!

A swan at the pond in Pembroke Castle in Wales has killed 15 others that have dared to invade his territory. He has been seen to bite them, batter them with his wings and drown them by holding their heads under water. The creature, nicknamed Hannibal, is said to “show off” to his mate and cygnet after a kill, swimming round with his wings up. However, he and his family are now likely to be removed. Maria Evans, a wildlife worker, said: “I’ve never come across such an aggressive bird. He is a horrible swan.” Hannibal will have blood tests to see if his behaviour is caused by pollution in the pond.

swans are notably assholes!

Hannibal's fourth season has been left up in the air since the series' cancelation by NBC, but Fuller still has hope - and plans - for the future.

Other details involved his interest in bringing back Anna Chlumsky as Miriam Lass, an FBI trainee who worked under Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) before being captured by Hannibal and kept hostage for two years. Lee Pace, according to Fuller, was whom he wished to cast as Buffalo Bill if he got the opportunity to explore The Silence of the Lambs arc. As for Clarice, who is arguably Hannibal's primary interest in many ways, Fuller said that her inclusion "depends on how Season 4 would have ended." He had expressed interest in casting Ellen Page in the role, but also potentially making Clarice a black woman from a lower-class background, which would essentially give him license to put his own creative stamp on the character in Hannibal's future.
