The Official Hannibal Thread (NBC Series, GREAT Reviews)

[Mandarin Duck]

This show

I think this was the best episode yet. Continuing to plant those first seedlings of Will's suspicion of Hannibal

He's starting to get cocky. When they finally reveal this shyt its gonna be

I fukking love this show. It's the only show on tv I actually can't wait to see. And you can tell from the last ep that Will already know wassup.

I'm waiting for that moment when he gets caught

I have a feeling he gon murk Will or Jack before he gets caught tho.

I'm intrigued to see where things go with that fat gay patient.... One thing they do need is better side villains that can draw interest when hannibals not on the screen....

Also good to see the Abigail storyline isnt finished I bet she plays a big role in the season finale

When's Hannibal gonna fukk wills boss

NBC May Hold Off on Hannibal Renewal Decision
Will Hannibal continue to feast?
by Eric Goldman
May 10, 2013




This Monday is NBC's Upfront, where they tout their new 2013-2014 lineup. Generally, by the time a network is holding their Upfront, that's it for making decisions on renewals and cancellations and we know the final fate of all the series on a given network. But that may not be the case for Hannibal. While fans (myself included) anxiously wait to hear if the show will be back, the show's creator, Bryan Fuller, says NBC may hold off on the decision.

Regarding a potential renewal, Fuller tells Buzzfeed, "We have no idea. We may not even know for another week or so. They’re being very close to the vest. But they’re saying [NBC president] Bob Greenblatt doesn’t want to make a decision right away. So we may not hear until next week, or the week after. It’s hard to say.”

Fuller goes on to clarify, "They won’t announce us being picked up or canceled by Monday is what we’re being told.”

Hannibal premiered just a few weeks ago and has a unique status on NBC thanks to its international co-financing - something that works in its favor as far as a renewal is concerned, since it's not as expensive for NBC as other series. That doesn't mean it's smooth sailing though, as the show has notably struggled in the ratings, after a decent debut.

While it's unusual for a network to not make a final call on a show by Upfronts, it isn't unprecedented. Just last year, CBS had not made a final decision on whether they were bringing Rules of Engagement back by the time of their Upfront, ultimately renewing it a few weeks later.

Im sensing cancellation by NBC. If they get rid of Hannibal I will never watch another NBC show again. And somebody better pick it up on a cable network. Where it can really excel then.

The show's too good. If dumbass NBC doesn't pick it up, I'm confident I will continue on elsewhere.

The Show is called Hannibal yet they hardly use him or we hardly get to know him, in the books and the movies he had a commanding demeanor about him the way he spoke, stood or would look into people knowing them probably better than they ever would know themselves, On top of that it was strange that he could be so friendly like youd rather be around him than most people. Like how he handled conversation, hed take the most out of left field trivia and use it toward the topic at hand in a way that made you like . Like the scene in hannibal before clarice starts talking to barney, barney grabs this dead pigeon off the ground and takes it in his apartment with him i never quite understood it untill i heard hannibal and barneys conversation on the tape where he uses genetics concerning roller pigeons:

"They go way up in the air and roll over backwards in a display, falling toward the ground. There are shallow rollers and deep rollers. You can't breed two deep rollers or the offspring will roll all the way down, crash and die. Officer Starling is a deep roller, Barney. Let's hope one of her parents was not."

I'm glad they finally put more Hannibal into the episode, the show is called HANNIBAL not WILL GRAHAM. No disrespect to Hugh Dancy who does a great job.

That's the beauty of Dr. Lecter's character. Like in The Silence of the Lambs, he is a well respected psychiatrist but a serial killer, cannibal yet a gentleman, conniving but courteous. I think Anthony Hopkins and Mads' Lecters are very different and rightfully so. Just to clarify with the quote, basically he is trying to state he is sympathetic to Clarice and likes her, correct? Because if her parents were high rollers then Clarice would crash and die which he wouldn't want

Dr. Anna Bloom though

Problem is if the show lasts then we know that hannibals not gonna get caught for a long time, so they gotta make will the focus not Hannibal otherwise the cat and mouse game is gonna get old.

If I had to guess I bet that reporter is the first to discover hannibal
