There's an evil sound that plays just as the camera shows Hannibal there snoozing in his chair beside Abigail. It's a really cool way to formally introduce him as he really is without giving it away to Will.

Great review of the pilot.<br /><br />I watched and loved the pilot when it originally aired, but <i>Hannibal</i> became one of those shows that I decided to "wait and see." I thought it might be too dark for a general audience and didn't want to invest in a series that would end too soon.<br /><br />Like sunbunny, it has become one of those shows that everyone keeps telling me to revisit. Your review gave me the perfect excuse to do just that. I had forgotten just how good it really is and I was captivated all over again. I'm looking forward to catching up with this series.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-204123278839208892014-01-16T16:58:15.588-05:002014-01-16T16:58:15.588-05:00He's so damn good, I agree!He's so damn good, I agree!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953652907115935895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-36615709201393538802014-01-16T16:57:01.548-05:002014-01-16T16:57:01.548-05:00It's not my usual cup of tea either but I agre...It's not my usual cup of tea either but I agree that the execution (no pun intended here either!) is sublime.

I'm very active on Twitter and collapse into frequent fits of laughter when I lay eyes on the 'artwork' that the show's official Twitter feed and Bryan Fuller retweet from the fans. But you nailed it. ~Why~ I'm laughing so hard is really because these fan creations are inspired by most disturbing program currently on television.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953652907115935895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-4726760964404586442014-01-16T03:40:47.839-05:002014-01-16T03:40:47.839-05:00Welcome to the team, Heather.
One of the things ...Welcome to the team, Heather. <br /><br />One of the things I love so much about <i>Hannibal</i>, besides how exceptionally well made it all is, is the contrast between how dark the show is and how crazy the fandom is. <a href="http://kutchu.tumblr.com/post/66290049906/hannigram-x-edward-p-1-so-hanni-is-like-i-made" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.Mark Greighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984193299389764649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-72304314182617628672014-01-15T14:52:46.786-05:002014-01-15T14:52:46.786-05:00Yay for Hannibal reviews!

I was finally convinced to watch the show - sooo many people rave about it - but only after I was PROMISED nothing bad happens to the dogs.<br /><br />I'm not familiar at all with the source material. Not a big horror fan, but I really like this show. It's dark and macabre but not entirely humorless. Plus, it's just really well done (no pun intended). The acting, the cinematography, the production design, every detail has been painstakingly perfected.sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-60803379649819927772014-01-15T08:50:32.044-05:002014-01-15T08:50:32.044-05:00Welcome, Heather!

I'm so excited about these reviews. <br /><br />Hannibal is one of the creepiest, most disturbing shows I've ever seen, while at the same time being one of the most visually beautiful.<br /><br />A lot of the food and cooking scenes remind me of the opulent decadence of Rococo still life paintings. <br /><br />And yet, the simple scene of Hannibal slicing up veggies freaked me out more than any of the legitimately gory bits.<br /><br />Onanymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460437851270823542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-134260064522174272014-01-15T08:48:20.575-05:002014-01-15T08:48:20.575-05:00This show's great.

I'm so happy you are reviewing this show for us, as it was a surprise favorite of mine last year.<br /><br />(I'm also really happy that you noticed the <i>Kids in the Hall</i> guy, but it seems stupid for me to say that in a comment on such a dark episode.) (And yet I'm saying it anyway.)<br /><br /><i>Hannibal</i>, hooray!Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.com
