[quote]NBC has given series orders to "Hannibal," a 13-episode
drama from "Pushing Daisies"' Bryan Fuller featuring the classic
characters from Thomas Harris' novel "Red Dragon," reports THR.
"Hannibal," from Gaumont International Television, is described
as an hourlong contemporary thriller featuring characters from
Harris' best-seller and revolves around FBI agent Will Graham
and his mentor, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, who are reintroduced as the
beginning of their budding relationship.
Lecter was made famous in the 1991 The Silence of the Lambs
which landed Anthony Hopkins an Oscar.
Fuller is also working on the delayed "Mockingbird Lane," a
reboot of "The Munsters."[/quote]
Munsters? Yea, that's something we've been anxiously waiting
for. :-\

This has fail written all over it. How can they stay true to the
character if it's on NBC? It will be watered down. At least put
it on a Cable channel like Showtime, HBO or even FX. But NBC?

Meh. It was decent. I will give NBC some props for not shying
way from the blood. But overall, I just didn't connect with the
actors playing the characters. I will give it a couple more
episodes to see where it goes. But based on the Pilot, I really
don't see what all the rave reviews about this one is. I dunno.
Just an average forensic / procedural show at the moment.

I had to fix the title of the thread. Hope you don't mind. It
was difficult finding it.

A much better episode for me at least. I like that they are
going to have all the episodes basically connected to each
other. By that I mean the previous episode isn't swept under the
rug and forgotten. I like procedural shows, but most of them are
basically stand alone episodes that completely disregard what
happened before. With Hannibal, they are using the previous
episode to continue the story. So far that is. They may be using
arcs for a few episode and then moving onto another completely
different arc. Whatever the case may be, I prefer this type of
writing format over single stand alone stories. Longer arcs
reward the viewer for sticking with the show.
As for this episode in general, I like the Tabloid Reporter. She
is an annoying gnat that will stir the pot and create havoc. Her
scene with Hannibal was the moment that I finally took to the
show. I will definitely be sticking with the series to see how
it progresses. One thing though, the show may be called
'Hannibal', but he isn't the main character. It's Will.

I wasn't expecting Abigail to become the centerpiece of the
show. Well, for the time being she is. I knew that she would
call Hannibal out as the one that called her father to warn him
that the cops were closing in on him, but what is unclear is if
she knew all along. I guess him helping her hide the body of the
man she just killed would be the clue that she needed in "seeing
him" for what he is. But there was a scene earlier when she
wanted him to "play the role of the man that called the house"
that still leads me to believe she knew. But how? Happy
coincidence? Anyway, this was a really good episode. Now it's
just a question of how much Abigail will play in the rest of the
series. Does she become a partner in crime to Hannibal? I dunno.
It goes against what we've always "known" about the character of
Hannibal.
