Dr. Lecter Invites you to Dinner. The ''Hannibal'' Thread

[Maximus One]

That ending was great. I knew Abigail was gonna recognize his voice. This show is just getting so good! I'm pissed they're pulling an episode though, that's just stupid.

 

[Schlosser85]

He was also in 30 Days of Night, directed by David Slade who also directed last nights episode.

Yes!

I was wondering the whole episode where I knew him from.

 

[venus_ice]

The episode will be online apparently. I hope someone rips it so I can watch it. Ugh NBC won't let me watch anything on their site.


I'm totally confused about locations though. Will lives in Minnesota but he works mostly in Virginia? I don't get it.

 

[antsman41]

I hate they are censoring that episode. If it can really be on CNN and etc. all day in our life...

I think we can handle a fictional version in an hour long tv show. We, America, makes no sense.

 

[Schlosser85]

So are we gonna have some big gap in events now where Episode 5 won't even make complete sense?

If an episode of a fictional show with fictional characters is too hard for your delicate little snowflake self, then change the channel and stop interfering with everyone else's viewing. Ugh.

I'm totally confused about locations though. Will lives in Minnesota but he works mostly in Virginia? I don't get it.

Will lives in Virginia. The Shrike case was in Minnesota.

 

[Sawyer]

Fuller's tweeting that it will be available online.

 

[Schlosser85]

I still fail to see what's so hard about anyone offended just...watching something else. Some people are so entitled about stuff like this.

 

[James]

I'm glad it will still be available online, if that's the case.

I found it a little hard to swallow she didn't recognize it right away.

It's not like there are thickly-accented Danes calling on the phone every day.

 

[James]

I don't think Abigail and Hannibal spoke on the phone, did they?

My impression was she just worked it out from his behavior (helping to cover up her killing the guy, etc).

 

[Sawyer]

She picked up the phone when he called and handed it over to her dad.

 

[Schlosser85]

Yup. She answered the phone, then turned to Garrett and said "it's for you", so Hannibal had to have spoken to her.

 

[venus_ice]

Will lives in Virginia. The Shrike case was in Minnesota.

Thanks.



Some more details

NBC said Friday that it’s pulling an episode of its serial killer drama “Hannibal” out of sensitivity to recent violence, including the Boston bombings.

The episode that was to air next week features a character, played by guest star Molly Shannon, who brainwashes children to kill other children.
“Hannibal” executive producer Bryan Fuller asked NBC to pull the episode, citing the Newtown, Conn., school shooting in December and this week’s Boston Marathon attack, NBC spokesman Stuart Levine said.


Fuller said Friday that he began talking with NBC executives several weeks ago about keeping the episode off the air. His concern was prompted by Newtown and reinforced by Monday’s violence, he said.


Although the “Hannibal” story is unrelated to real-world events, the intent was “to be sensitive to where we are as a nation,” Fuller said.
The episode, the fourth for the freshman series, will be replaced by another “Hannibal” hour. Viewers will not see a plot continuity issue, Levine said.


But a “clip package” with scenes from the unaired episode will be available at NBC.com next week, without the scenes of child violence and with commentary by Fuller. That will allow viewers to keep current with the show’s larger story arcs, the producer said.

As far as I understand, the angel episode will air in 2 weeks and this one will be online with all the character interaction but just without the murder stuff.

 

[James]

She picked up the phone when he called and handed it over to her dad.

Yup. She answered the phone, then turned to Garrett and said "it's for you", so Hannibal had to have spoken to her.

Ahh, okay.

Even so, I can see how she wouldn't immediately recognize him. He probably said all of four words to her, and some people sound hugely different on the phone. Plus, she certainly wouldn't have any reason to think the stranger on the phone was the FBI's psychiatrist/helper fellow. Makes sense to me that it took both a combination of his voice and his behavior to work it out.

 

[Maximus One]

You could tell when she first heard Hannibal she noticed. When they were at her house she was telling everybody to play the roles of people from the incident and she looked right at Hannibal and said "And you be the person on the phone" she knew. There's more to that girl than we've been shown so far. I guarantee it

 

[James]

I think she had a strong suspicion, but I don't know if she knew for sure until the end there. I agree though, seems like there's a lot more to her than meets the eye.

 

[Snow Queen]

That was one of the most finely crafted episodes of television I have ever seen. I cannot praise it enough.

Hopefully the pulled episode ends up on the Blu Ray/DVD in the future once wounds have healed.

 

[Shifty]

Hannibal is moving to Wednesdays next week in Canada on City, since they also air Scandal. I'm liking the show because they continue to have surprise the audience in an age where it the viewer can see things coming.

Thank god!!!! t:t:t:

Isn't it a day early?

 

[venus_ice]

If the schedule is right, we won't have to skip a week to see the new episode like in the US. PLUS there will be the online episode that was pulled. I have no idea if the pulled episode will still air as planned in Canada or not.

Press release for Episode 6.

"HANNIBAL"
"SORBET"

05/09/2013 (10:01PM - 11:00PM) (Thursday) : WILL HAS NIGHTMARES OF HIMSELF AS A KILLER WHILE HANNIBAL SEES A THERAPIST OF HIS OWN AND BEGINS HIS SEDUCTION OF ALANA. - When the BAU investigates a murder involving organ removal Jack (Laurence FIshburne) believes that the Chesapeake Ripper may have resurfaced, but Will (Hugh Dancy) determines that the victim's murder is the result of illegal organ harvesting accident. Meanwhile, Will suffers from nightmares where he is Abigail's father, and Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen) slowly starts to seduce Alana Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) and begins to visit his own therapist, Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson). Also starring, Hettienne Park, Aaron Abrams, Scott Thompson

Hannibal seducing Alana? Oh my.

That has to be tied in with the shot of Alana and Will kissing in the promos, and the other press release that mentioned Hannibal driving a wedge between Will and Crawford. Just all about keeping Will alienated from everyone except him.

 

[Maximus One]

I love how every episode is named after a French dish

 

[venus_ice]

I'm REALLY excited for that one and the one where he checks out Abigail of the hospital. This show is ruining my life.

 

[Kaleb]

So Ive read that NBC are pulling the 4th episode due to content and the recent Boston incident.
