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

[Maximus One]

Hahaha right?? I'm crushing your head!

 

[Superfreak]

I didn't think I'd like the new Lounds, but I can see some potential with that character. Granted, she doesn't have the sex appeal of Philip Seymour Hoffman, but still.

haha, PR, been a long time!

so I've been watching these last two episodes, thinking to myself: that dungeon of an FBI academy looks really familiar... then when I scrutinize the classroom where the lectures are given, I'm like no way.

get on google... ah, york university.

Hahaha right?? I'm crushing your head!

Lol, but unfortunately, I don't think any of Scott Thompson's sketches can be posted here!

 

[James]

Nah. I still wanna see her burn on the antique wheelchair!!!

They can still do it. I'm just saying, maybe they'll find some neat way to present it that hasn't been done before.

 

[squeekness]

That's a hard way to go, lol. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

THEY FILMED AT YORK? Fml Will Graham was so close to my body.

Just watched Ep 2. Started out kinda meh, but really picked up in the second half. Dancy was great, as he was in the first episode, and Mikkelsen is growing on me; but man, those supporting characters (Fishburne excluded) are just awful.

I really enjoyed that there was a lot of fallout from the first episode, it bodes well for the rest of the series.

And also, that's gotta be one of the most twisted methods of murder I've ever seen.

 

[Matt]

I still think that Mikkelsen is way too creepy. The scene with Lounds....I just have a very hard time believing that no one is remotely suspicious of this man.

Plus every single time he eats with someone, it just feels like a forced way of reminding the audience that he is a cannibal. The only way it could be more hammy is if Mikkelsen winked at the camera.

I'm having a problem with those 2 women who both exist as love interests to poor Will. They're the weakest of the cast.

I like Dr. Bloom (she's knows Will way too well to be romantically involved with him) but I also can't stand the Beverley Katz character in this show. I feel like she's being forced upon the audience.

 

[Maximus One]

I dig Dr Bloom.

In one of the promos they show she gets some action. She has no other purpose than to talk about Will and be his love interest which sucks. At least Beverly does ****.

 

[flickchick85]

I hope she gets more purpose, because Dhavernas is awesome.

Also, I'm re-watching now and totally missed Gretchen Speck the first time. And she's now divorced, lol!

 

[James]

The woman playing Doctor Bloom reminds me a lot of his wife (Mary Louise Parker) in Red Dragon. In fact, the moment she appeared in the first episode I was thinking they're probably setting her up to be Will's long term love interest/future wife. I don't think Beverly will be a love interest, she hasn't come off that way to me. It's possible she has some form of crush/admiration for Will, but I don't see it ever being reciprocal. Early days yet, of course.

Molly will be introduced in a later season says Fuller.

 

[moviedoors]

I think this show could really pan out. I really dug these two episodes so far. Way, way, way better than I ever imagined it would be. Perhaps it'll fill that serial killer shaped hole that Dexter left.

 

[James]

This show has already blown Dexter clean out of the water (not that it's a difficult feat to achieve).

Molly will be introduced in a later season says Fuller.

Molly, right! I totally didn't even notice that they had different names.

 

[insider1970]

I mean we would assume so but this is a different format than film. Can you imagine having to watch Dollarhyde kidnap, torture and kill Lounds all over again the exact same way as in two previously released films? Come on, they kind of have to do something differently.

I don't know if they will change the way she '"goes", but Fuller confirmed she will be "out" in season 4:

@BryanFuller Was the amoral ginger bombshell #RebekahBrooks your inspiration for the new Freddie Lounds? #Hannibal pic.***********/ASMnWY5MHa

.@mattybrie Abdolutely!

Matt ‏@mattybrie 22h
@BryanFuller Ugh...Can you just change the story and have her killed in the series? It would be cathartic for the UK population.

Bryan Fuller ‏@BryanFuller 22h
@mattybrie You have to wait until Season 4 for that!

 

[Maximus One]

It's kinda weird how Fuller keeps telling people when all this stuff is going to take place like that. Just odd

 

[venus_ice]

Wishful thinking? We don't know if the show has a second season yet do we?

 

[Maximus One]

That's what I'm saying though, it sorta just sounds like wishful thinking on Fuller's part. I almost doubt that if it keeps going for a few seasons that things will turn out how he has said.

Maybe they'll do a neat twist on it.

It is interesting to note that both movies deviate from the book in the same way: they make Lounds die very soon after he gets set on fire. In the book, he actually lingers on a little bit, albeit gruesomely, before dying of his horrible burns. As I recall, he gets to have some off-stage last words with his favorite prostitute before kicking the bucket.

Maybe Fuller will stretch this out a bit; a heavily bandaged, dying, in pain Lounds struggling for life for 1-3 episodes, helping Will as much as she can before finally passing.

Also, her torture can be done differently, before her inevitable end. That can be stretched out for several episodes as well. Not that I want to see her sexually assaulted at all, but for some reason I am thinking of Battlestar Galactica, where Leoben Conoy keeps Kara Thrace prisoner in a nice, middle-class condo, where he play-acts a scenario where they are a regular family, where she cannot escape but is otherwise unfettered and physically unharmed.

I can see Dollarhyde try to do that with Lounds, trying to ape normal human behaviour for her, to "prove" to her that he isn't the incestuous impotent homosexual she will paint him as. Then when she tries to escape or kill him, that's when he decides to end her.

I thought they said it was, no? Or am I thinking of something else....?

 

[Schlosser85]

Hettienne Park (Dr. Beverly Katz) said it will have a second season.
