Quickie: Nooooooooo!

Thanks to a speedy delivery, my new router came in today and I’m back on the internet at home. So I boot up the ol’ interwebs only to find… this.

I love Hannibal. This show is spectacular in so many ways. Mads Mikkelsen is glorious as our beloved Hannibal Lecter. GLORIOUS!

NBC did this show no favors by initially sticking it at 10:00 pm on Fridays with little marketing, and then moving it to Thursdays at 10 this season–slightly better, but no. This would have been a Sunday night marquee show on any cable or premium network. It may actually be a miracle they got away with all the gore and sex and psychological violence they did on a network channel.

I’m glad they’ll play out the rest of the season–and really, it may be a good season to end on, since Hannibal will likely be captured and they weren’t guaranteed the rights to all the Silence Of The Lambs properties–and there’s always the chance of a Netflix/Amazon/Etc. pick up, but I’ll probably be watching the blu rays of the whole show regularly for a long time.

In the spirit of taking back that which we love, I’d like to welcome you all to tune into my new show coming to local Portland community access television: [Abdomen Rips Open]!
