Review: Fox's 'The Goodwin Games' has potential it won't get to realize
22 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
I hear it a lot: I don't want to waste time watching a new show that might be canceled; if it's a success, I'll try it. On the one hand, I get it: I've been frustrated (and, in some cases, sad) when a show I invested my time and energy into got canceled in the early stages, and in some cases might have preferred not to have seen it. On the other, I'm grateful for even the one season I got of "Freaks and Geeks" and "Terriers," and I know plenty of Bryan Fuller fans who revere "Wonderfalls" even though Fox »

'Doctor Who' and the big finale question: Who is John Hurt playing?
20 May 2013 5:42 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
"What I did, I did without choice - in the name of peace and sanity."
"But not in the name of the Doctor!"
Umm... what? So Doctor Who's finale on Saturday night climaxed with a stunning final sequence so top-secret that even The Great British Press (we're a bit like The Great Intelligence, only marginally less evil) weren't allowed to see it pre-broadcast.
Deep inside the Doctor's own timestream, viewers apparently met a version of the Time Lord we'd never before encountered in the show's 50-year run. But, despite what the on-screen billing would have you believe, is acting legend John Hurt *really* playing the Doctor? Or is the truth behind his character's identity more complex than that?
Join the Week in Geek for a journey of discovery - and rampant speculation - as we attempt to answer the question... Doctor Who The Hell Was That?!

Hannibal, Ep.1.08: “Fromage” inches the series closer to becoming a small-screen masterpiece
17 May 2013 12:39 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Hannibal, Season 1, Episode 8: “Fromage”
Directed by Tim Hunter
Written by Jennifer Schuur and Bryan Fuller
Airs Thursdays at 10pm Est on NBC
Breaking Bad; Boardwalk Empire; Mad Men, Justified; Sons Of Anarchy; Louie; Girls; Shameless, The Americans; Game of Thrones; The number of new quality TV series keeps growing, and we can now add Hannibal to that list.
Over the past 30 years, television has undergone vast improvement. The wave of high-quality niche series may have started as early as the 1980s with Miami Vice, and later with the success of Twin Peaks in the 90′s, but it was only recently that several of these intelligent niche productions have been leading the pack with the highest ratings. Back in the days, a network’s goal was to equally please as many viewers as possible. Now the aim is to please relatively fewer viewers but keep them coming back each and every week. »

Hannibal Episode 107
“Fromage”
Written By: Jennifer Schuur & Bryan Fuller
Directed By: Tim Hunter
Original Airdate: 16 May 2013
In This Episode...
This week’s victim is Douglas Wilson, a trombone player with the Baltimore Orchestra. He is found with his neck broken, dangling almost behind him, a cello neck shoved down his mouth, throat cut open. The killer was trying to play the victim’s vocal chords like a violin. We know that Tobias is the killer. He owns a cello and violin shop, where he makes his own strings from human guts.
Franklin is on to Tobias. Or at least, he thinks he is. Franklin tells Hannibal that he has been concerned over some of the dark things Tobias has been saying, and checked off a multitude of psychopathy markers. Then Douglas shows up dead, and Franklin remembers that Tobias once said he wanted kill someone and play them like a violin. »

Hannibal Review: “Fromage” (Season 1, Episode 8)
16 May 2013 11:12 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Even after seven weeks, it hasn’t gotten any easier to believe that Hannibal is a show currently airing on network television. Perhaps it’s the show’s dire ratings that have prevented a class-5 $hitstorm from getting kicked up, but were it doing Following numbers, it’s guaranteed you’d be hearing outcry about Hannibal’s existence from more than just stuffy shirts in Utah. Bryan Fuller is running his writers room like a nightmare factory, with each episode’s exquisitely designed murder tableaux adding a new flavor to the season’s selection of memorable horrors. Taking any musician’s fear of choking on stage a bit literally, this week’s macabre masterpiece presented a symphony orchestra trombonist taking center stage, a cello neck shoves down his own, the skin of his neck flayed open like a barn door, to expose rigid, strummable vocal cords.
That’s some seriously messed up business right there, »

Roundup of New NBC Shows for Fall 2013-2014
16 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
We’re now at the end of this year’s Upfronts week, which means the major broadcast networks have announced their new shows and schedules for the 2013-2014 season. I’m here to run you through some of the shows that will be coming to NBC later this year.
Beginning with the sitcoms, Thursday night will introduce viewers to Welcome to the Family, Sean Saves the World (fortunately, this isn’t a show about me as a superhero) and The Michael J. Fox Show, all of which will follow the returning Parks and Recreation in that order starting with Welcome to the Family at 8:30.
Welcome to the Family follows two different families who are forced into each other’s lives after one’s college-age daughter (played by Ella Rae Peck from the now-cancelled NBC drama Deception) becomes pregnant with the other’s college-age son. Presumably, the two get married and more family hijinks ensue. »

‘Hannibal’ Subject Of Outside Interest While Awaiting Renewal Decision At NBC
15 May 2013 6:12 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
There are several comedy and drama pilots not picked up to series yet that are still in play. But among returning scripted series, only one, NBC drama Hannibal, went through the upfronts without learning its fate. The series, from Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller, got off to a solid ratings start and was in serious contention for an early renewal. The numbers eventually tapered off, and NBC put the renewal decision on hold. Hannibal was well reviewed, and I hear there has been interest from at least one cable network in case NBC passes on a second season. Additionally, I hear Amazon, which currently carries repeats of the show, has expressed interest in taking it on. There are no talks going on and Hannibal has not been shopped as the producers are waiting on a renewal at NBC. Hannibal, from Gaumont International Television, is produced under a different model at »

Showrunner Bryan Fuller Talks Hannibal, the Show’s Inception, Gauging the Level of Violence, the Overall Series Plan, Using the Red Dragon Storyline, More
13 May 2013 4:19 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
One of the best written and best acted dramas currently on network (or any) television is Hannibal, from show creator Bryan Fuller. Based on the characters from Thomas Harris’ classic novels, the series follows the unsettling relationship between psychiatrist-turned-serial-killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and gifted criminal profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy). During this recent exclusive interview with Collider, executive producer/writer Bryan Fuller talked about how the series came about, how he gauges the level of violence on the show, how he ended up with Dancy, Mikkelsen and Laurence Fishburne as his lead actors, how fascinating the character relationships are, that knowing the eventual destination of these characters is a huge gift, when Hannibal Lecter’s famous face mask could appear, how the Red Dragon story would come into play in Season 4, adding some female characters to the mix, how they decide what meals Dr. Lecter will prepare and serve, »

Hannibal episode 7 review: Sorbet
12 May 2013 1:20 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Review Laura Akers 12 May 2013 - 21:21
Bryan Fuller's crime drama finally delves into the fascinating psychology of Hannibal Lecter. Here's Laura's review...
This review contains spoilers.
1.7 Sorbet
As Hannibal teeters on the edge of cancellation, we finally get to the good stuff: the psyche of the serial killer.
This week’s episode is a bit of something different, both for the show and for Hannibal stories in general. So often, we see what the deadly psychiatrist does, while a careful curtain - a human veil- keeps us from looking into his own emotional and mental makeup. That obstacle began to fade as we followed Hannibal himself through something remarkably like a-day-in-the-life-of.
This week’s case was, as usual, weak in and of itself: a doctor-wannabe performing organ harvesting. While the forensics team seems compelled to believe his work is that of the Ripper (or that he is, at least, »

His fondness for fava beans and a nice chianti is well documented, but when Hannibal Lecter returned in his latest incarnation it was in less charted territory.
After the series of books by Thomas Harris and a string of hit films, the world's most popular serial killer has moved to television for the first time.
Bryan Fuller's acclaimed adaptation, which launched in the UK on Sky Living last week, is part of a boom in big-screen properties being adapted for TV.

Hannibal, Ep.1.07: “Sorbet” – an opulent feast for the eyes
10 May 2013 10:37 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Hannibal, Season 1, Episode 7: “Sorbet”
Directed by James Foley
Written by Jesse Alexander and Bryan Fuller
Airs Thursdays at 10pm Est on NBC
The search for the Chesapeake Ripper continues, as “Sorbet” begins with a rundown of the Ripper’s nine victims. Will (Hugh Dancy) lectures his class, analyzing the mind of the killer as Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) watches from a distance. They know the killer tends to kill in threes, humiliating his victims in the process. Will profiles the Ripper, describing him as someone who is consistently theatrical, and who sees his victims as pigs, not people, displaying their corpses with a sense of mockery. If there was any doubt as to whether Hannibal was the Ripper, or not, this week lays to rest any uncertainty.
Last week’s “Entree” focussed primarily on Jack; every episode prior centred heavily on Graham, but “Sorbet” is all about Hannibal Lecter »

Hannibal Episode 106
“Sorbet”
Written By: Jesse Alexander and Bryan Fuller
Directed By: James Foley
Original Airdate: 9 May 2013
In This Episode...
The FBI is called in on a case that could be another Chesapeake Ripper victim. If it is, it is likely the start of a new cycle; the Ripper tends to kill three people in quick succession, then lies dormant for a year or more. Will almost immediately decides that the Ripper didn’t kill this victim. He has a lot of the same hallmarks, but it wasn’t the Ripper. This annoys the lab techs who are convinced this was the work of the Ripper. This victim was found with his liver surgically removed and the wound stitched up, but then with signs of the stitches being torn out with bare hands. Trauma to the heart suggests to the techs that the suspect was interrupted; Will realizes that this was internal cardiac massage. »

Awesome Trailer for Michael Bay's New Series The Last Ship
8 May 2013 11:40 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
TNT has ordered up ten episodes of Michael Bay's new post-apocalyptic action drama series called The Last Ship, and it looks awesome! The network released a trailer for it that you've got to check out. I was actually really surprised by how good it looks.
The series follows the fallout of a global catastrophe that nearly decimates the world’s population. Among the few survivors are the crew of the Navy destroyer U.S.S. Nathan James, which is now summoned by a new President of the United States to do whatever possible to abate the crisis.
Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy) stars as Captain Tom Chandler, a career Navy man who lords over the Nathan James, while Tracy Middendorf (Boardwalk Empire) plays his wife Darien. Adam Baldwin (Chuck) plays Slattery, the ship’s second-in-command who occasionally clashes with Chandler over the best course of action, and Rhona Mitra(Strike Back) is Rachel Scott, »

Hannibal: will he satisfy our craving for small-screen serial killers?

Hannibal Lecter's transfer to TV comes after the success of Dexter and The Following. How does the doctor measure up?
Tuesday was a big night for fans of thrillingly inventive psychological horror as Bryan Fuller's eagerly anticipated prequel, Hannibal, aired on Sky Living. The show throws us right into Hannibal Lecter's early years as a forensic psychiatrist aiding FBI Special Agent Will Graham as he hunts killers, before the good doctor's arrest and incarceration for his own atrocities.
With Dexter having completed a successful seventh season, The Following drumming up strong ratings and the BBC promoting upcoming drama The Fall, it seems small screen serial killers have never been more popular. So how did TV end up with mass killers as its enduring fixation?
The Bill, perhaps surprisingly, managed to raise the bar in outlandish murder drama with PC Gabriel Kent, who conspired with the "Sun Hill sniper" to beat, »

Hannibal - Episode 6 Review
7 May 2013 4:06 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
John Lucking reviews the sixth episode of Hannibal....
Hannibal’s balancing act between character and plot meant that after last week’s portrait of a married couple being torn apart we could expect Entrée to be a much more straightforward affair; luckily enough it seems Fuller and company can deliver on this front as well. Episode six marks the halfway point from of the season, and while it doesn’t quite lay its cards on the table it does drop the poker face and allow us insight into where it’s heading.
The episode begins with a Dr. Gideon lying face down on the floor of his padded cell in the Baltimore psychiatric hospital. After he’s declared unconscious he is then transported to the medical wing where he breaks free from restraints and murders his doctor. The most jarring aspect of this -other than a convicted felon being left »

Mega-Interview: David Slade Discusses the Changing Film Industry
7 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
After five episodes of NBC’s Hannibal, it’s already fair to say creator Bryan Fuller‘s horror drama is one of the most atmospheric series on television. From the mood to the show’s bold textures, each episode leaves a cinematic impression — an impact director David Slade (Hard Candy) had a hand in sculpting. According to Slade, production in the often chilly Toronto weather and fast-paced production is no cakewalk — which you can read more about in a production blog he wrote — but the final reward is worth it. Speaking with the show’s executive producer for well over an hour, it’s obvious Hannibal encapsulates the genre work Slade wants to see more of on television, and he’s proud to be a part of Fuller’s new show. The two men have different sensibilities, but Slade those two distinct outlooks fused together rather nicely. Here’s what else Slade had to say in part »
