serafina20My tv and internet have been down since yesterday, when I got home from Wondercon, etc. It has not been easy going for me, since I *need* the internet like breathing and have been unable to do anything. It's very annoying.
but, it's back. And Hannibal premiers tonight, something I very much look forward to. I'm thinking of writing up a meta-post about it in the hopes of, I don't know. Knowing stuff about it so if they're at Comic-Con this summer, I can maybe ask some of the questions i have.
this article makes me happy, if it's true and if Bryan Fuller follows through on it. One of my fears for the show is that Graham and the rest of the FBI will become too suspicious of Hannibal too quickly without any logical reason. The whole show works on dramatic irony (ie the audience has information that the characters don't). But, too often in TV shows, the writers feel the need to show the heros are savvy to the situation and become too wise to the bad guy too fast for no reason. the only example i can think of right now is Smallville: we knew that Lex was going to turn bad one day. Clark did not. And, yet, Clark often acted as if he knew the ending in the ways he reacted to Lex.
Hannibal won't work if Graham becomes suspicious of Hannibal without reason. If Fuller already had the arc worked out, this might be subverted. I hope it does. Hannibal will need to be tightly plotted for this to work. It already is incredibly acted by Dancy and Mikkelsen.
Also, I was flipping through Red Dragon last night and discovered that the case in the pilot is a case that's described in the book (as being one of Graham's first). I was really excited to discover that. Lecter wasn't involved in the case, but it really nicely settles the series in a kind of mirror universe to the books/movies.
Needless to say, I'm excited.
