Dr. Lecter Invites you to Dinner. The ''Hannibal'' Thread - Part 1

[hellblazer103]

as tempted as i am to watch it online ,right this second.... no. i'm waiting till 10.

although i'd watch it again at ten anyway . there's no way i'll stop watching this show on tv. it's counting on us viewers right now.

I'd say the family episode was my favorite so far. Still got the angel episode to watch. The tension was high, the character drama was very revealing, and the acting was great.

Ironically, X-File's "family" episode was also banned upon first airing - about the mutant family "oh it's wonderful, wonderful, oh a wonderful time..." that one. Anyone know any other episodes of TV programs that were banned?

definitely had my favorite " this is my design " scene . the slamming of the table when he says " NO ONE leaves the table " , the way will looks into the victim's eyes when he says this is my design , like " listen *****, this is my design, deal with it " , just all around great acting from dancy in that scene. i really don't get all the hate for him.

i'm surprised no one's made a parody of the " this is my design " scenes, though.

Everyone needs to watch the show tonight.

But if the show does get cancelled? Prepare for complete and utter devastation, Hannibal fans. "It ends on such a huge cliffhanger," Fuller admits. "It's a big ending where you're like, 'Oh my God, what is going to happen next?!' So our viewers will be screwed if we don't have a second season."

Oh god.

They don't have it on an out of US Amazon or iTunes you can use?

I don't use either of those, but I did manage to find a copy elsewhere so I've seen it now!

All up to date, very happy indeed. Now we just need that fateful announcement of a second season and everything will be groovy.

Oh god.

Kristin Chenowith?... she might be easy on the eyes but that voice of hers just grates on my nerves...

 

[flickchick85]

Cheno is awesome. I'd love to see her on the show. Lee Pace as well, of course.

 

[venus_ice]

Here we go. Excited to watch it again

Spoiler

I enjoyed the line about 'a grape with nothing to hide.' It is manifested several times in the episode.

Also enjoyed was the nod to Red Dragon: namely, the 'Wound Man' scene.

Next week's episode looks good, esp. with Gillian Anderson.

 

[Mace Bloodstone]

Anna Chlumsky

Spoiler

hasn't changed much.

 

[hellblazer103]

it seems to me like there were alot of intentional references to SOTL. even eddie izzard's role gave me some hopkins lecter esque vibes.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I've just downloaded "Ceuf" to help give the show momentum, but I likely won't have time to watch it until Sunday or even Monday.

 

[Sawyer]

Wearing her hair like that didn't do Chlumsky any favors... dem ears.

Great ep, though. Dat Eddie Izzard. **** NBC for not picking up Mockingbird Lane.

 

[Schlosser85]

That was a really good episode. Better than the last couple, IMO.

Izzard and Raul Esparza as Chilton were really good.

 

[Maximus One]

Who the **** is Miriam? When did they establish that the Chesapeake Ripper killed anybody before he did in the pilot? When Hannibal was copying Hobbs to test Will? I'm so confused. I don't have a good feeling about this show's future at all. Pulling that episode will be what kills this show

 

[Maximus One]

Nevermind. The trainee. Duh. I thought that was Clarice at first and totally didn't realize they were flashbacks

 

[Maximus One]

Who is that playing the trainee?? I swear she looks like the chick that played in that movie My Girl with Dan Akroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis. She just looks so damn familiar

 

[venus_ice]

I think this is a benchmark episode. The first time we see him actually do something on camera. It's all going to get better from here.

 

[chamber-music]

it is Anna Chlumsky from My Girl. She is also in Armando Iannucci political comedies In The Loop and Veep.

 

[Maximus One]

I can't ****ing believe I got that right. I always wondered what happened to that girl. She's looking mighty fine today too. Mmmm damn

 

[Pink Ranger]

Perhaps this is a tribute to the strength of the show's characters, but despite the atrocities Hannibal has committed, what may impact me the most is the emotional pain and feelings of personal betrayal he will inflict upon Crawford, Mrs. Crawford, Will and Dr. Bloom when they discover that this man who has become a closer friend to them all has been lying, manipulating and tormenting them all along.

 

[venus_ice]

I also really liked that they turned up the tension this week. No scenes with Abigail or Will so we don't see Hannibal enjoying himself too much. We don't get the normal calm version of him from previous episodes. He looked seriously agitated in every single scene.

I cannot wait for next week. The promo looks so good.

I feel exactly the same way. I can only imagine how messed up Will's going to be about it.

Way to completely destroy any self-confidence the man has about his ability to "see" a serial killer.

Oddly, I do feel like Hannibal is sincere about Bella though. It was like, in his very twisted way, he was trying to show Jack how to have hope...and psychologically torturing him at the same time?

I don't know, I got conflicting vibes off him this episode. He had kind of a sad expression at the end. Like maybe, at least now, he did feel kind of sorry about Miriam.

But with the "having an old friend for dinner" comment to Alana and Chilton, did anybody else think he was feeding them Miriam? I mean, he had her arm, so clearly he kept her body.

The Chesapeake Ripper was mentioned in passing in the Angel-Maker episode.

Crawford said at first he thought the Angel-Maker might be the Ripper (who's been dormant for years, so far as they know, but really IMO only because Hannibal changes MOs all the time).

I can't help but wonder if the stag Will sees in his dreams is his brain's way of saying it knows about Lector even if his conscious mind doesn't. Kinda like the elephant in the room.
