So NBC has a new show (well not new anymore it's on its season finale next week) called Hannibal. How many of you watch it? Favorite characters? How do you feel about the latest episode?
Thoughts? Theory? Ships?
Please keep all spoilers hidden if it has happened within the last two episodes (or weeks)- to give people a change to catch up should they start watching it.

Man I feel so bad for will personally because of all the things that Hannibal is doing- all the small things to lead up to where we are now. I wonder if they will convict him of Abigail's death (because I'm pretty sure Hannibal killed her) and her friend's death of if things will turn around for them. Still poor Will.
Watching the latest episode as I type this. I like the show, but I'm not a huge fan at this point. However, I will keep watching, because I do have some attachment to the characters.
I LOVE Hannibal! It's a bit too gory for me sometimes, but the characters and the beautiful colouring makes up for it.
I was just about to start watching season two, since I didn't get a chance to yet. The ending of the first season was so amazing, with that cliffhanger!
I love hannibal! I'm up to date, and watching it on the NBC website (because sadly, their ratings are way down at the moment). The showrunner, Brian Fuller, is so great. I was listening to a podcast interview with him recently and he was talking about how when he writes episodes he writes in the camera movements and everything like that so it's all constructed to tell the story. Pushing Daisies is another show of his and the similarities are there, even though the two shows are so far apart in tone and subject matter.
I kind of have to watch hannibal from between my fingers though.

Like a couple of episodes ago when the victim ripped himself out of that human mural? That was horrifying.
I love Hannibal!! Season Two is turning out to be just as shocking and well-done as the first season. I was a bit concerned about how they would follow the first season.
Yes, Pushing Daisies is awesome. I think it's still available on Netflix.
I don't have netflix in my country, but there are always the pirate-y sites to turn to! Season to of Hannibal is great. Seriously though, how do you add that 'spoiler' thing? I don't wanna discuss the latest episode without it.
You won't be able to open it yourself without refreshing the page if you used the quick reply box.

I can't help but be amused over Hassun. Someone commented on tumblr that it's like Hannibal has realised that Will being framed means Will dying and is going "Whoops, nope nope nope! Gotta fix this!" Except the only way he knows how to solve problems is murder.
Hannibal's just the right amount of creepy to set the mood, but won't make you lose your sleep! Even tho I did feel funny after season 1, I have a pair of deer antlers on my wall..
Man, last year I walked past this indie movie theatre on my way to polytech every day, and at the same time Hannibal was airing, they were advertising this movie with Mads Mikkelson in it. I used to get the shudders every time I walked past.

The newest episode though! Beverly! And Will is getting so clever!
I'm not sure where goes the line, like what things are considered spoilers? I'm going to hide everything just in case.

I really enjoyed the latest episode, the series is so green and with the honey theme there were these beautiful shots with rich yellow light! (and yeah, with honey.) I can imagine the writers having so much fun coming up with these weird murders! I think the most impressive one was the diabetic mushroom garden. Disturbingly beautiful.
Also I liked that the murder wasn't the episodes biggest thing, like in all other murder investigation shows. I used to watch Criminal Minds but they let you see so little of the characters' life that it gets boring. On the other hand that show has been running for nine years (?) so it seems to be working on some people :D
i think it's awesome how they kind of flipped around the characters (see picture)
also i love how hannibal's so well dressed, even when he's murdering his lunch.

Reason: text disappeared??
Writers: Let's kill Beverly!
Writers: Let's kill Bella!
Writers: WAIT, SHIT, SHIT, I FUCKED UP, THAT WAS ALL THE POC WOMEN SHIT SHIT
Writers: B...ell...a's... alive... again! Yeah!
But anyway, reviving Bella really was the shittiest thing Hannibal could have done. And that coinflip, man. Really shows how little he actually cares. Like, "heads, I'll be a douche, tails, I'll be super douche."
The show has a perfect balance of creepy and sinister. I've seen a few series who do not come close to the scenery the choose for each episode. Tons of symbolism embedded throughout the show. It's definitely something I have to watch without the kidlets around.
First of all, Bev was awesome. I hate the fact they killed her off. I hate the fact she 'didn't listen to will, went to look for evidence, got killed because silly woman'. OK, end of feminist rant.
Second. Will's killing now? I'm not sure what to think about that. Really. I understand, but still.
Yeah, I thought Will killing was weird too (even if it was delegated) if his mission is to get out, and also his character hasn't been murderous before?? I guess he just wants to stop Hannibal before anyone else gets eaten?
RIP Beverly. I thought it was very poignant, though, how Hannibal put her in the observatory. Exactly where he put Miriam's arm - the last person of Jack's to find him.
It's super useful. There's a guide for all the BB codes too,
