Just started watching Hannibal and it's really good!



The only problem is I've now watched the first three episodes and I can't decide whether to watch 105 or not as they've skipped airing 104 for "sensitivity reasons". There's clips to fill in the continuity, but on both NBC's website and on youtube they are US only :sadface: So I don't know if I should wait for an international (dubbed?) version of 104 to air or just forget it and watch out of order or what

And why aren't more of my flist watching this show! I think a lot of you would enjoy it, it's really beautifully filmed and it's got some fascinating characters and relationships.

but I'm fine with skipping through Hannibal Rising

Do you mean Hannibal (the book after SotL when Lecter is loose) or Hannibal Rising (the origin story book)? Because while I think the end of Hannibal is something that I do NOT need to see on TV, Fuller already said that Hannibal Rising would not be a text "engaged with". Sort of hard to do anyway, since it's young Hannibal, and we're too far into the modern day for the Nazi thing to work.

Also I read something about it not being too expense for them to produce because it's an international co-production?

Yeah, I read that, too. It's already airing in a lot of countries, so I think it was a co-production with someone, and obviously rights have been sold for it to air lots of places.

I know nothing about American networks really lol, I always thought that it was FOX that was the one likely to do the worst,

Yeah, the big three are NBC, ABC, CBS. The other free ones are FOX, CW, UPN, basically (I might be forgetting one). For a long time, the big three were always in the top three in ratings, it was just a fight between them for which one was #1. But I guess things have changed, what with most people having cable access these days, not to mention variety on the internet.

Oops yeah sorry, I mean Hannibal. Silence Of The Lambs and Hannibal aren't such a big deal to me as I've already watched films for those books, I'm most interested in seeing the early years covered with Hannibal's relationship with Will and his capture.

I wondered actually if they were going to be referencing the Hannibal ending with his relationship with Abigail as he does seem to be grooming her at the moment. I haven't seen the clips as yet (just got back from work!), but I read spoilers for them earlier and Abigail hallucinating seeing her family from the drugs Hannibal gives her is very similar to the ending of Hannibal

Yeah, I read that, too. It's already airing in a lot of countries, so I think it was a co-production with someone, and obviously rights have been sold for it to air lots of places.

Hopefully that will help as people always said that Nikita doing well internationally is what saved it, even though the ratings weren't exactly stellar

Exactly. It's a part of the story that hasn't really been explored in depth.

There were definite parallel vibes there. Though I guess we'll see, when we know how they turn out in the end.

Sorry can I be really annoying and ask what I need to watch a .rar file? Do I need to split it with something?

An .rar is like a .zip file. Inside are the .mp4 or .mkv files for each of the clips NBC put up. You can 'unzip' it with WinRAR.
