message 1: by Holli (new)

Holli Did any of you catch this one? I really liked it.


message 2: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments I saw the first ep and I'm watching the second now. I like it, it's weird but I'm not quite sure if that's good or bad, lol


message 3: by Holli (new)

Holli LOL! I get what you're saying.


message 4: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments It's definitely a keeper, this second episode was my decision-maker and it made the cut. Mads and Hugh are outstanding in their roles, I like both actors anyway, but I'm really enjoying the interaction between Will and Lecter.

Every time Lecter is eating meat, don't you wonder if it's human meat? I do.
Have you seen the second episode? Mushrooms. Disgusting. I like the weird scenarios this show brings.


message 5: by Courtney (new)

Courtney (courtneyclift) | 924 comments I agree, Jackie! I got clear on the characters and 2nd episode popped me right into the world they've created. It's beautifully decorated and designed to be fluid. I love the shots of food when Hannibal was eating with Laurence Fishburne and you have to think that's gorgeous, but what is it. It's artsy but without pretentions. I loved the ideas of spores connecting...


message 6: by JackieR (new)

JackieR (readthat) | 318 comments I saw the first episode and like it a lot. Very interesting! A little confusing at times, but I figure it will clear up in further episodes. Sometimes Lecter is a little hard to understand, heavy accent.

We watched this on demand, what day is it actually on?


message 7: by Courtney (new)

Courtney (courtneyclift) | 924 comments Thursday at 10 on NBC. He gets a little clearer when you get used to his cadence.


message 8: by Holli (new)

Holli I haven't seen the 2nd ep yet Jackie but yes, I picture it as human meat every time! LOL


message 9: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments LOL, I'm sure we're supposed to wonder. It's kinda disgusting, I don't know why I'm laughing!


message 10: by Holli (new)

Holli This show gets better and better each episode


message 11: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments It does. I don't usually like cop shows, there's only so many ways to kill a person and only so many ways to catch them, but Hannibal turns that idea on it's head. So many inventive, and disgusting, ways to kill a person!


message 12: by Holli (new)

Holli Yes!!


message 13: by Lynn (new)

Lynn (dwell_ondreams) | 126 comments I really want to watch this one, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Soon. . .

I've heard naught but good about it from all corners.


message 14: by Jackie (last edited May 14, 2013 08:56PM) (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments Holli, can you ever eat mushrooms again after watching that one ep? That was really the grossest thing I saw on Hannibal so far. I don't know why it wigged me out like it did, but mushrooms are permanently Off The Menu!


message 15: by Holli (new)

Holli I hate mushrooms anyway so I'm good because yes it was SOOOOO creepy and gross.


message 16: by Jackie (last edited May 15, 2013 08:57AM) (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments When they took the bodies out of the graves and the mushrooms were attached to them, I thought I was gonna vomit. Ugh. I'm getting the shivers just thinking about it, lol

I'm not a fan of mushrooms but they are good in certain dishes like Chicken Marsala or Coq Au Vin. Mostly I scoop them out of the gravy and put them on my husband's plate. But I don't even know if I can look at them now, much less touch them.


message 17: by Bronda (new)

Bronda | 11 comments This show is good. I have been watching it every week. I have found a couple episodes boring but then it got better with the next one.


message 18: by Bronda (new)

Bronda | 11 comments It is also somewhat confusing.


message 19: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments My friend Lara found it confusing at first too.


message 20: by Holli (new)

Holli Officially renewed!!!!


message 21: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments Awesome!


message 22: by [deleted user] (last edited Jun 01, 2013 06:03PM) (new)

I'm starting to get lost; why the hell did Hannibal kill his doctor friend and stage it to look like the "undead girl" did it? Why would his friend agree to hide Will's encephalitis? Is Hannibal really Will's friend or is it impossible for a psychopathic killer (no matter how charming and intelligent) to have friendship? If he's his "friend" why would he hide his condition and also lead Will into the dangerous situation of encountering Tobias at the music shop (in the previous episode)?

Also, what's Ellen Muth been up to? And how many serial killers are active in the Baltimore area anyway?


message 23: by Holli (last edited Jun 02, 2013 08:11AM) (new)

Holli He killed the doctor because he knew too much about Will. He wants to keep Will like he is. Having the "undead" girl do it took the possible heat off him for that one and I suspect probably excited him to see what she would do with him. I would say that Hannibal considers Will a friend, as much as any psychopath can be friends with someone. he wants Will to stay the way he is because it's exciting for him... part of the game... it all factors in together. The doctor hid the secret of Will's illness so that Hannibal can study him as a test subject. Hannibal manipulated the Dr into thinking that would be ok and then killed him.


message 24: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments I haven't seen it yet! I'm waiting on my neighbor, we watch it together and he's got a busy week. I want to watch it but it's so much better when watching with another person. We're probably do a mini-marathon when he's available.


message 25: by Holli (new)

Holli Sorry for the spoiler Jackie!


message 26: by Jackie (last edited Jun 04, 2013 08:36AM) (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments NP, I didn't read it, I know how postings go after the ep aired. I wouldn't want it any other way.
I get the notification in my email, click, and then remember I didn't see it, lol.....I just did it again now. If my neighbor doesn't watch soon, I'll have to do it without him.


message 27: by Holli (new)

Holli You must because it's been REALLY good lately.


message 28: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments I don't like waiting, this is why I rather watch alone; now I feel bad doing it without him. I think we'll do both eps together this week, or I'll just have to go on without him.


message 29: by Courtney (new)

Courtney (courtneyclift) | 924 comments So disappointed in season finale!


message 30: by Holli (new)

Holli Really? I wasn't... I'm excited for Season 2 now!!


message 31: by Courtney (new)

Courtney (courtneyclift) | 924 comments Maybe it is more like I just wasn't satisfied or satiated as I wanted to be. I still can't wait for next season. It is a great show. xo


message 32: by Holli (new)

Holli Gotcha :)


message 33: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments I just watched the final 4 episodes, I thought it was great. Hannibal is so deviously clever, the way he set up Will.
I feel sorry for Will, not only what Hannibal did to him but how Jack used him, knowing he was breaking his psyche. Both are equally responsible for destroying him.
I have no idea where it'll go next season, what will happen. I totally like that!


message 34: by Holli (new)

Holli I agree completely Jackie!!!


message 35: by Driftwood (new)

Driftwood | 34 comments Is there going to be a second season? I am so into this whole show. I hope there will be more.


message 36: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments Yes, it starts next Friday, the 28th.


message 37: by Driftwood (new)

Driftwood | 34 comments oh, thanks that is wonderful.


message 38: by Kuki (new)

Kuki (goodreadscomkuki) | 163 comments Anyone still watching?


message 39: by Courtney (new)

Courtney (courtneyclift) | 924 comments Yes!


message 40: by Jackie (last edited Mar 30, 2014 11:54AM) (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments Yes! But the ratings aren't that good, I doubt we'll get another season out of it.

So...how was that season opening scene? I was like Whaaatttt????
I'm pretty upset about Beverly.


message 41: by Courtney (new)

Courtney (courtneyclift) | 924 comments That was crazy w Beverly!

i just read that they are planning another season in TV Guide's what's failing & what is still holding on. I hope I saw that right. i think there are so many possibilities.


message 42: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments EW just said it probably won't make it, lol It's all guessing at this point. I wish they advertised and put Hannibal on a day where it would garner more viewers. If it fails in the ratings, it's their fault, not the show's.


message 43: by Courtney (new)

Courtney (courtneyclift) | 924 comments True that. They really need to promote it more bc the writing & ambiance is pretty good.


message 44: by Kuki (new)

Kuki (goodreadscomkuki) | 163 comments I hope it does not get cancel such a good show. I wish they would move it from Friday to a different night.


message 45: by Courtney (new)

Courtney (courtneyclift) | 924 comments I like it Friday's after Grimm, but with DVR or online episodes you can watch anytime. The cinematography is crazy good. You have to remind yourself that decandant looking meal is human. Plus the places Will visits in his mind are extraordinary even if he's just fishing.


message 47: by Courtney (new)

Courtney (courtneyclift) | 924 comments Loving this show. I watched last night's episode twice to ensure my memory (as if possible, lol). It is crazy well-written.


message 48: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thelastwolf) | 4961 comments I know it! Even the filming technique is movie-style grand, definitely an upgrade for TV.
I was getting freaked out that Will was going along with Hannibal, but now I see he's setting a trap.


message 49: by Courtney (new)

Courtney (courtneyclift) | 924 comments It really is total package! I had to see Will's face in beginning after seeing end & preview.


message 50: by Jackie (new)
