HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A CANNIBAL SCORNED. This gon' be good. Oh yes, by making it personal it becomes so much more.
The more episodes I see the more I want this to run season after season, the more I hope they use just enough of the books to make it recognisable but otherwise go with how the characters are established in the show (if that makes any sense).
And yes, I don't think Fuller wants us to think too hard about timelines or little details on the serial killer of the week - it just seems to be there as a framework so the characters have something new to talk about :D
24 hours for the next dosage of my new favourite drug :D

I really don't want to be one of Those People who nitpick everything! I don't like those people! It's just really, really hard to describe what's happening to people (some of whom aren't watching the actual show) if you have no idea when any of this is happening!
The more episodes I see the more I want this to run season after season, the more I hope they use just enough of the books to make it recognisable but otherwise go with how the characters are established in the show (if that makes any sense).Yeah, I would be really interested to see it take a life of its own--that idea of the new elements rippling into the future--while still hitting most of the key points in the books. And, honestly, probably a ton that there wasn't time in the movies for--that'll be really interesting, seeing a book adapted over
( ... )
I don't think you are nitpicking, I just felt the same confusion while watching. It was like, what when is this happening, how did they get there ... eventually it was like, okay Fuller, I get it, it's not important ...
a life of its own--that idea of the new elements rippling into the future--while still hitting most of the key points in the books.
Thanks, yes, that describes much better and precisely what I meant. I would not even be mad if MGM does not give out the rights for Silence characters, I am sure Fuller could come up with something equally brilliant for his future-reboot
the show is so dreamy/nightmarey that I just try to go with dream logic for those logistics that don't match up... (jumping on late to the hannibal train!)
Real-life timeline: I believe the end of November was this filming because Entrée was filmed in early to mid-December.
Oh, and the number of shout-outs increases DRAMATICALLY in Entrée. Like, rolling on the floor in joyous glee number of shout-outs.
How to go about building your own family: Molly Shannon, no. That's not right. Hannibal is doing it better. And he's the worst at helping, so that says something.
In the second adaptation, they changed it so that he was doing film transfer to digital, I think? And Molly is suposed to show up in season three, I think.
& Hannibal'se office is definitely NOT in his house, because I have no idea where his house is, but I do firmly know where his office is.
... well, if Molly's going to be on the show, I guess that means any attempted relationship with anyone else is doomed in advance, then. Except now I'm sad, having reread the book, because THAT doesn't go all that well either.

I'm still trying to figure out how we're going with things, because season two is supposedly the "break-up" and four is Red Dragon. So this makes season three basically The Trial of Hannibal Lecter and I Hope You Didn't Have Dinner At His House Because That Veal Surprise Was Really Surprising. Theoretically, we have Uncle Bowie in season two and I think that we'd probably end that season (maybe? or they'll do in the middle to mess with everyone) on Will being gutted by Hannibal.
Don't listen to Cleo, gentle readers! You DO have to tell your friends!
Stupid ratings.
I've been toying with reading Red Dragon this summer. It's not really the sort of book I typically read, but I've been pleasantly surprised by the show (tuned in for Fuller).
I usually only read true crime, if I'm going to read something procedural, but this was surprisingly engaging. It's actually a lot more about the detective legwork on this one particular case, rather than fresh murders happening constantly.
While I'll happily read whatever you recap, I'm all for vampyres if it means more Varney. That mental image of him trying to jump over the wall is burned into my brain till the day I die. (In a GOOD way.)
Yup, more Varney. I think I have a couple more chapters recapped that I never posted, and the next two chapters after that half-finished. That's a lot for this week (at my current rate), but I kind of just want to get something else up here.
*is confused* They cut the episode, but... they're making it available for purchase? Because less people will see it that way, or something?
Your recap is amazing. But man, this + Iron Man 3, I am all burned out on fictional dead people tonight. (My fault for reading this - I'm practically wishing nightmares onto myself!)
