i dont think you have to see all out gore, the character should be able to inspire chills, he is dr lecter after all. think hugh dancy as will graham is fantastic, he has the same sort of unhinged edge as william peterson had in manhunter.

I couldn't agree with you more, I am sooo addicted to this show!!

Oh yeah, I knew about it, and I'm impatiently waiting for it!! Love the show!!

Thank you, Vig! I was just wondering yesterday when the new season of Hannibal would be. I'm very anxious to watch it. Was majorly obsessed with the first season. Even bought a t-shirt. Lol

I dunno though. 2 was good too, but they sure are killing off a lot of characters... and I don't even mean the blood bath Han went crazy with in the finale. Katz and Chilton were frequently used characters in Red Dragon, so I can't help but imagine how the hell they're going to pull off that season without them...

Season 3 starts up tomorrow (Thursday, June, 4th)! I wasn't sure if I was going to look forward to it or not, but after watching the trailer, I'm fucking ecstatic. They're bringing in Dolarhyde already. They changed so much of the books as is though, why bother being canon now. At least the changes they're made have been entertaining thus far.

Season 3 Episode 1 "Antipasto"
 

SPOILERS

Bonsoir! The art direction in this episode was superb as per usual and the new setting brings some really beautiful visuals as well. Great to see Eddie Izzard return even if it's only in flashbacks or Hannibal's imagination. (Not quite sure which.) Their dinner table scene was fantastic especially the "It's only cannibalism if we're equals" line. Weird not having much of Will Graham or Laurence Fishburne in this episode. Gillian Anderson and Hannibal carry the episode well enough and it was interesting exploring their weird relationship. This episode wasn't big on gore but it was there in subtle doses. What it lacks in splatter in makes up for in eerie mood and atmosphere, suspense and some pretty disturbing imagery. The preview for the rest of the season looks insane I can't wait!

"Primavera"

SPOILERS

Great opening scene. Not only is there a good bit of splatter and gore but Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy were great together. Glad to get back to Will's story. The wave of blood, Will losing consciousness and the tea cup shattering in reverse were all really cool visuals. Will's dream sequence was also very trippy and the knife stabbing through his stomach from the inside made me cringe. I thought the scenes with the Italian detective were interesting. Will's hallucination at the il Mostro murder scene was really disturbing and I liked the reveal that Hannibal was watching him. The catacomb scenes were pretty creepy and I love what this show is able to do with mood and atmosphere. Preview for next week looks awesome.

"Secondo"

SPOILERS

Some excellent dialogue throughout this episode. The scene where the Italian guy takes the icepick to the head was fantastic. The fountain scene with the snails and lightning bugs looked incredible. Glad Laurence Fishburne is back. The Will and Chiyoh scenes were pretty good. The human firefly scene was just insane. Preview for next week looks interesting.

Brace yourself, Monkey Astronaut. Some terrible and devastating news to deliver presently.
