One Swell Foop posted:It was the "very eerie sensation of bad things happening without any cheap jumpscares, mystery and really good sets that really feel just wrong", it's probably the some of the most unnerving viewing around. Personally my whole problem with that show (Black Mirror) is that it tries so loving hard to be this way, where a show like Hannibal starts with an actual story and then shocking stuff happens within that story. Every episode of Black Mirror very obviously started with people brainstorming on what would be shocking and disturbing and then writing around it instead of the other way around, which creates something actually good because unless you're a teenager, something being "shocking and edgy" on its own isn't really enough. If the writers of Hannibal had taken this easy tact, which they very easily could have, the show would have probably been cancelled after about 8 episodes.

Based off of how Bryan discusses how they brainstorm episodes I've always thought that's exactly how they write the show.

Harris spent a lot of time doing actual research and following FBI guys around, Buffalo Bill and Lecter were both amalgamations of different killers he read about or was told about during that time.

I finally ordered the DVDs - excited to listen to the commentaries. Also, it seems I've gotten a total of 5 people watching this show so far. The DVDs are partially to win over my roommate and his girlfriend, bringing it up to 7. Spread the good news.

Not sure what is/isn't passing as a spoiler in here in terms of actors featured in the next season, but Laurence Fishburne and Gina Torres were at the Kids in the Hall show last night to see Scott Thompson performing.

So Bryan Fuller has revealed some interesting details about the season. Some are quite spoilery, so some of you may want to avoid: http://m.digitalspy.com.au/ustv/s225/hannibal/feature/a643841/bryan-fuller-serves-up-11-delicious-new-spoilers-for-hannibal-season-3.html

Finally finished my virgin marathon. Going to ignore the thread until june 4 now, as I made the mistake of reading a bit of it (the pages after the finale) and saw bozos posting av club spoilers. Seriously, what motivates that poo poo? Anyhoo, SO GLAD I found this show, so glad it was on amazon prime commercial free. So sad that I will have to view the upcoming season fast forwarding through said commercials. As good as the finale was, I cannot help but feel the part that choked me up the most may have been the stag dying.

Just letting you guys know (whether you want to find it or avoid it), there's a Season 3 synopsis around that pretty much fully spoils the outcome of the Mizumono Massacre.

I watched the season finale once live, and then again with no commercials. Without the breaks, the tension and anxiety just continue to build and ratchet up to a weird level leaving you no time to digest what just happened.

I want to come out of an episode of Hannibal feeling as stressed, confused and upset as possible. A bit like dear Will with brain problems I guess.

Really though, the no-commercial-marathon felt like a really really REALLY long movie. And was damned good at that. You know when Will was fevered and his POV was all jittery camera-wise? That is me after an EP straight through. My wife and I watched up to 5 episodes in one sitting. That is some stress.

Fine, but be it on your (delicious slow-roasted) head. Remember, SPOILERS for certain characters' survival in season 3: "After the shocking events of the season finale, Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen) is on the run in Europe - accompanied by his psychiatrist Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) - sporting a new identity but servicing the same insatiable appetite. As the lives of Will (Hugh Dancy), Jack (Laurence Fishburne) and Alana (Caroline Dhavernas) converge toward Hannibal again, their deadly dance turns in startling and unexpected ways, and nothing will ever be the same again."

This from someone who read ASoIaF and think the show adaptation sucks. Hannibal is amazingly good, and knowing stuff ahead of time would suck some of the awesome away from the experience, IMHO.

I'm trying to go into this season as blind as I can, though I watched the teaser and saw one or two comments on here I can kind of piece together what to expect. Though things like knowing the Verger's were in last season at some point made me constantly anticipate how they might be linked to the story, which distracted from watching a little. Only 35 days to go. I might rewatch three quarters of an episode a day until then. edit: Also, watched Perfume: The Story of a Murderer again the other day and it reminded me of how similar it was to Hannibal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zutiIw_2e2g justcola fucked around with this message at 19:57 on May 3, 2015 |

If TV trailers have taught me anything its that most of the footage in them is likely from the very first episode. I'm betting its overplaying her prominence for the entire season.
