Hannibal [NBC/Sky Living] [** Spoilers **]

This is a brilliant show head and shoulders above most of everything else thats knocking around. Love its dark atmosphere, the photography alone is worth the price of admission. My only fear is that a show this dark and of such high quality wouldnt have great ratings in the states.

Bryan Fuller has confirmed rumors that he has reached out to David Bowie to see if he's interested and available for the second season of NBC's "Hannibal".
If cast, Bowie would play Hannibal's uncle Count Robert Lecter, a character who briefly appeared in the books. Production on the series resumes in August in Toronto - Source E Online

Had a bit of a Hannibal binge the last couple of nights and am now up to ep 9. After a strong first episode I thought it kind of lost itself somewhat until episode 5/6. Frankly, it was a bit boring for a while. However, it pulls up its socks big time from the mid season point and gets into its stride. It looks great, and a lot of the screen compositions (generally with a good splash of red in the background) remind me of Tarsem Singh's visually stunning films.

I also find some of Lecter's dialogue to be difficult to decipher and I think having so many 'show off' serial killers at work in the same general location and at the same time is stretching things a bit far but hey....

Hannibal played a dangerous game tipping off Will. What was stopping Tobias ratting him out as revenge whilst captured? Seemed to be a very strange gamble that Hannibal just hoped Tobias would be killed in pursuit.

Tobias had said he would kill the police who came for him and then kill Franklin (his 'friend'). I presumed that's why Lecter tipped him off - trying to get both Graham and Franklin offed (as both were perhaps getting close to the idea that Lecter could be more than he seems). Lecter or even the police would then kill Tobias. I doubt Tobias was suspicious about Lecter as Tobias had already said he expected the police to call to him.

I won't be happy until he brings in Multiple Miggs!

good podcast discussion with byran fuller about his writing career and how he mirrors the Harris books in the first 3 seasons http://www.nerdist.com/2014/02/nerdist-writers-panel-129-bryan-fuller/

thats was gruesome, had to look away,how a medical forensic expert not tell that someone ripped themselves out

i've always wondered about the balance of freak of the week versus the main arc,in hannibal the serial killers are only there to serve the the main story which is unusual, bryan fuller expressed his motivation for making a story about somebody killing for the beatufy of our varied skin colours but we didn't really get the motivation from the killer.

would hannibal make up his mind

Graham remembered an awful lot in this episode

this is a fantastic show, fantastic source characters to base it on, including Dr. Frederick Chilton

'we must stick together'


stupid move on katz's part but was the graham's fault he put her on that path

the preview explains some of what happened in the previous episode
