Re: Official Television Thread v2.0
goddammit, HANNIBAL is just the most beautiful thing in television, it's ridiculous. And very interesting, non-linear way that Bryan Fuller has chosen to tell the overall story here. And I can't help but chuckle a little bit, does it not sort of demonstrate of how trite and 'meh' of a feature film that was Ridley Scott's "Hannibal" that they pretty much just covered the large majority of the main parts in a single episode, just 42 minutes of screen time. So now presumably Hannibal will be officially finally apprehended by the end of next week's episode, then for (I'm assuming) basically the whole last half of the season, getting into a lot of the meat from the "Red Dragon" story, with Richard Armitage as D. Which then makes me really curious if we'll still see the death of Freddy Lounds this season.
The only one little detail I wasn't crazy about in this episode, they substitute in where when Hannibal gets the phone call from Clarise (albeit the Julianna Moore version) right before he's about to send the detective tumbling to his death off the balcony, well here that they have it being Ilana who calls him. I mean there was only really 1 or 2 sentences that was the same as in Scott's movie, but still, it was just a bit too cheeky for me, and wasn't at all necessary for the scene to finish.
