I am totally on board with sexier, younger Hannibal. I am totally down with the portrayal of Hannibal as evil semi-supernatural genius instead of insane genius. But man, gently caress those abrasive plaid suits.

NoEyedSquareGuy posted:There's one particular shot in the first season right after Abigail realizes who he is and asks him how many people he's killed. I can't find a screenshot of the exact moment, but when he responds "Many more than your father," and looks down at her with his hand on the side of her face, the cold look from Mikkelsen along with the lighting of the scene makes him look more evil than anyone I've ever seen in a movie or TV show or anything else.

Ansiktsburk posted:Mads Mikkelsen is just ridiculously good at exuding creepiness. So's his brother, for that matter. I wonder if they give each other tips on how to be seriously unnerving. Season 3 of Sherlock was disappointing on a lot of levels but failing to take advantage of Lars Mikkelsen as Magnussen was definitely one of the biggest disappointments.

I was hopeful they were going somewhere with his character in House of Cards season 3, but I think he ended up kind of misused there too. I actually really dug his appearance in Sherlock, but even with the longer running time per episode I thought just making him a one episode character was a mistake.

"Oh, I suddenly showed up at my recent-ex's house and he has company and he doesn't want me to know, well, I'll be discreet if that's how he wants to play it." That's how I read her reaction. A normal person would assume that before they assume "oh, he's probably an insane serial killer who has a man superglued to an armchair over there and showing him a slideshow of desecrated corpses" Unfortunately for her, Dolarhyde is insane, so there's a good chance he thought Reba had beheld him in his full glory. (after all, he's so magnificent, how could she possibly NOT see the great being he had become?)

I liked that Cox really let the pettiness shine through, and it's still my favoritescene with the telephone and Hannibal getting Will's address.

I liked that Cox really let the pettiness shine through, and it's still my favoritescene with the telephone and Hannibal getting Will's address. Brian Cox is my favorite Hannibal Lecter, hands down. Any time I read the books I always picture him. I also like how he shot back and forth with Will so quickly. "Then how did you catch me?" "You had disadvantages." "What disadvantages?" It's a shame we didn't get to see him as Hannibal more, he'd have done great. Hopkins did good too, but he made the choice to make the character a bit too horror movie like for my tastes. I can understand why he made that decision, I just prefer Brian Cox's more realistic approach. However, one problem I had with his interpretation was that he came off a bit too brutish a few times in his first scene. I think Mads is better in that aspect.

wtf? Did they hire the same cinematographer from the show to do this? The inset shots are loving perfect, and the light from the previous scenes would not be easy to match.

 Had this show continued into season 5, Chilton would end up like that guy from Johnny Got His Gun who had no arms, no legs, was blind, deaf, unable to speak and could only communicate by nodding morse code with his head.

Had the show gone on, I would hope someone finally murders and eats Chilton, only to realize he'd became genre-savvy/taken the only escape he could and poisoned himself.

Hopefully now that the show has been cancelled they'll tack on one of those cheesy high school movie "so and so went on to do such and such" credits sequences. If not then someone more talented that me should make one.

I guess you could say we are what we eat, and by that I mean that what we're eating is us. You might even say that I butchered a living person, cut them up, and cooked them in this dish! Wait, scratch that last one.

You know, I can't decide if Chilton is the Wile E. Coyote of the show, or the Rickety Cricket. I am loving heartbroken that there's only one episode left, and I have no idea how much Fuller is going to try to pack into one hour. Did they know the show was 100% cancelled before they wrapped up the finale? If so, I hope they go out with one of the biggest bangs in all of TV history.

Everything not involving Lithgow's story was pretty bad in Season 4, but it's hard to say if anybody else could've pulled that character off as well as Lithgow did. I do kind of think that a really bad casting choice for that character would've totally sunk the season, and I probably would've stopped watching altogether if they blew it in Season 4. But for some reason once I got past the hump of Season 5 I just couldn't stop watching, and it only got worse from there.
