All Things: TELEVISON

Man, Hannibal is in a slump. Struggled with the 2nd episode in a row. Just cannot buy Will and Hannibal looking into each others tear swollen eyes and having 'My Dinner with Andre' melodrama. And Dr. Bloom coming to the crime scene and dressing down Will(through profiling) while everyone looks on was another misstep. How clueless is Jack?

The most recent episode? I don't want to say anything if you haven't seen it.

I thought the second half, last 1/4 of the most recent one was reeeeeeeally good, but NOT. ENOUGH. HANNIBAL.

I'll confess, I haven't made it past the initial 40 minutes or so. Too many things irritating(Pitt's out-of-place/Over-the-top Verger, The songbird meal, everyone staring at each other with welling eyes while the same damned dischordant music plays in the background) things. Maybe I have lost my taste for it. It just feels ridiculous at times and repetetive at others. I don't buy the conceit that Will has embraced his inner Hannibal and I keep waiting for them to pull the 'reveal' where Freddie Lounds appears...and like Sherlock faking his own death, I don't know how they are gonna sell it, but I ain't buying it. And if Will has become what he hates then, for me, the show has really lost it's moral center. It was a very delicate balance before with Will representing 'good'. If he is no longer on that side of the scales the whole thing tips for me. If anything, there isn't enough everyone else. I like the forensic guys...and Fishburne...and in my opinion the absence of Beverly is huge. As well as Chilton/Gideon. TOO MUCH Hannibal. When they show him so much it really makes it hard to believe that nobody thinks this guy is a full fledged weirdo whose cabinets and crawlspaces NEED to be checked.

Ok, finish the episode and then come back because things may be different.
 
Blacklist: (spoilers)

Is it just too obvious for Lizzie's father to really be psycho one-handed Russian? He had a daughter, and those could have been anyone's parts that were being given to him in prison. If Lizzie's husband is still alive, since we didn't see him die on screen, I am going to be very annoyed, even if it was stupid how he died.
 
Series finale of Revolution tonight :cry:

I just hope they filmed the last episode of the season knowing renewal chances were slim to none... I would hate to see one big nasty cliffhanger.
 
I finally finished watching Those Who Kill. Excellent first (and apparently only) season. Very good show. Sorry to see its demise. Perhaps some of Glen Morgan's best since Millennium.
 
Bryan Fuller Offers Up a Few Clues of What's Ahead in Hannibal Season 3 - Dread Central

Hannibal escaped to France with Dr. Du Maurier; has she been in on this the whole time?
Fuller: The answers to exactly why Bedelia Du Maurier is on a plane to France with Hannibal Lecter [are] all part of the first episode of Season 3, which will essentially function as a new pilot for a new series because everything's different... if I had my druthers, [Gillian Anderson would] be a series regular in Season 3.

Is the point of view of next season more squarely about Hannibal?
Fuller: Season 3 is going to be a lot of fun because it's going to be taking a lot of disparate elements from the novel Hannibal Rising and the novel Hannibal and mashing them up together as part of the thrust of the season. It's going to be fun to bastardize two novels into one sort of Frankenstein season. I will brace everybody right now: We're significantly changing the Hannibal origin story from Hannibal Rising...

The books won't necessarily be in sequential order. We'll be hitting elements of each of them except Silence of the Lambs in the next season. My hope is that not only do we have a completely different Hannibal Lecter story in Season 3, but we will meet some of those great characters like Francis Dolarhyde and Lady Murasaki and weave them into the world in a unique way... The basic structure revolving around the FBI will be less prominent in Season 3 — at least for the first half of the season.
