It used to involve Jews. That's it. We're taking it back!

I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what's "it" seems weird and scary to me.

No, they're the assholes who were buried alive in a ravine on the Island.

They should have a second news network, but about business or something!

They were just asking for it, wearing those sexy comb overs.

Invite Damar and I'm in.

Ahem. Trekkies.

Come to Louisiana, where our incestuous psychopaths will rape and ritually murder your children!

This isn't the right comments section for rudeness.

It doesn't need to be stylized to show us life is precious, but I do think that's part of the point. When I watch other shows where people are killed in more realistic ways, all it makes me feel is disposable. When 5000 people die on Game of Thrones, it's not life affirming*. Violence just happens, relentlessly. Hannib

That life is precious. I mean, there's a lot more to take away from the show (I find the stuff about mental illness thought-provoking and moving, for example), but this is the core of it, I think.

This was my experience as well. At the end of episode 5 (the one with the angels) I thought "Hmm, this could turn into the best show ever." By the end of episode 7 I was in love.

Well, the analrapist jokes were just there for the taking.

Google tells me there are at least three of them:

How did you watch Hannibal in the background while doing other things?! Did the episodes make any sense at all?

I thought the Hanniballer was only legal in Mexico.

It's definitely a show that takes a little time to get into. You need, I dunno, five? episodes to get into its rhythm and realize that the illogic and over-the-topness are features and not bugs. I like the first half of the first season, but the second half is where things really take off.

I just learned from the comments over there that Xena fans are called Xenites, not to be confused with Scientologists.

Yep.

Nope.
