Just got into Hannibal on Amazon, how did I not know that it was so good? Also, how the hell did it air on NBC?

seems like there was a champion for it here. ghostrunner? fat strat? can't remember but said it was great and shockingly intense for network, etc.

Me 'n ghost. I think JL too.

It's incredibly violent and surreal. Incredibly so for network. It's kind of insane that it existed.

Hannibal is great. Thankfully the show got a proper sendoff with an excellent last episode of the series.

Last season went off the rails a little bit, I thought, but yeah. Was really looking forward to their version of Silence of the Lambs, which they had planned to do.

I started American Gods a while back, which Bryan Fuller is also running. Similar aesthetic to Hannibal, though even more out there. There's a goddess who swallows up/absorbs her sexual partners with her vagina. True story. I got email notices from Comcast for torrenting it, and was a little wary of racking up too many of them at once. Might have to wait for the BluRay to come out. Doesn't seem to be available on any streaming services, and I'd rather not subscribe to Starz just for that.

(This should 100% be in a guilty pleasure thread.)

As a kid I was vaguely into Star Trek TNG. It was often pretty boring for a kid (but also one of the only things on our four channels every evening and killed an hour before Simpsons started). I liked the huge sci-fi universe of it. I guess you could say I liked the idea of it and certain episodes.

I'm pretty shocked that it's taken this long in our modern nerd culture and excellent television storytelling to get another one off the ground. I am interested. But do I have to pay for that CBS app?


But more importantly, that clip mostly makes me miss Pierre Bernard. Does he ever show up on Conan anymore?

TNG was and is the best show on television. Ever.
