Lady Aurora Borealis
I'm quite addicted already. But this is NBC and they always pull the good shows after about a month's run and let s**t like LOST keep spiraling into oblivion for no apparent reason.
I'm not too fond of how the last episode let a pretty huge cat out of the bag, even though we already have back story and information on Hannibal due to the books and movies I think it would have been nice to keep toying with the idea that the series predates his murderous tendencies or at least let the series continue fiddling with our heads a bit on whether or not he's behind any of the murders. I would hope that at some point since this has been unleashed so early on that somewhere down the road we learn what exactly made him "snap" for lack of a better word. I'm sure its precise and calculated but I want to know why those people and why in such an awful way.
I also liked last week's murderer the supposed ripper.
he was morbidly comical.
This is definitely my kind of series.
I would have to agree with you completely. The Murderer last week was Eddie Izzard and he's hillarious if you look into his comic routines. In his younger days he did his whole shows dressed completely in drag, now he's gotten a little more lax in it but he's still primarily a comedien and He's brilliant. Actually does full shows in French too. It's amazing. He's just so versatile.
From the books we know what triggered Hannibal's tendencies all the way back to his childhood, if you want accept hannibal rising as the actual beginnings of hannibals story. Where he becomes the Chesapeake ripper. His medical mutilations date back to the Hannibal Rising book, but the way that the victims are mounted isn't really mentioned in the books.
I don't know what to say about NBC, i've been disappointed with them before but this year they did pick up and let run one of my other new favourite shows, so i can't complain. And from what I've already read about this Hannibal adaptation, the series up to season 4 almost sounds like it's a sure thing. They will only be doing 13 episode a season so that they can cover certain aspects of Will and Hannibal's relationship and it sounds like each season will have a specific focus. This season the Hobbs story arch. Season 4 is supposed to be the red dragon story arch. I'm really interested in seeing how this plays out. Every time I watch and episode i feel like i'm watching a movie and reading a book and no other show has done that for me. I love the little things that they are playing with to brings everything together. Hannibal mentions his uncle Robertus, the baltimore state mental facility is exactly the same as the facility used in Silence of the Lambs. I love the connections. My only problem is some of the modern technology that you see in the show. It shouldn't be based today. It should be more 70s 80s if they want to keep to the books - which means hannibal would not have an ipad. Those are the kinds of things that bother me. I'm trying not to be bothered by it but because I am so familiar with the books and that universe it irks me.
