making me hungry for all the wrong reasons

[orangerful]

Some of you will be very happy to know that I finally watched Hannibal. Well, the first two episodes.

If I didn't have to be to work in 30 minutes, I'd probably finish off the first disc.

And WTF why is it not streaming on Netflix of Hulu? Who owns the rights to this show and is being such a dick about it??

I knew it was Bryan Fuller, which was what made me think I might like it, but I didn't realize Caroline Dhavernas was in it! :D Maybe they can get some other Fuller alums on the show...who will then probably die horribly but whatever!

(also, how awkward is the extras casting process for this show? "Hey Bob, I found the perfect part for you! Slightly creepy guy who turns out to be a horrible murderer! I think you look the part! Totally YOU!" ... "uh thanks?" "Sandy - you would be PERFECT as this week's corpse!" "yay?")

LOL the first thing I did was google to see if it had been renewed. Is this the first Bryan Fuller show to make it to 3 seasons?

It really was his name that drew me to the show. He has this obsession with death and how we deal with it that has been addressed in all of his series with a bit of dark humor.

ARGH STUPID PRIME! I really hate the Prime Only thing. Orphan Black is on there too. I'm already paying for Netflix and Hulu, I don't really need Amazon...plus they are pissing me off now with the whole hachette debacle. But my Mom does have Prime so I could probably access it...if I wanted to...MWAHAHAHA!

I think Bryan Fuller had something to do with "Heroes" and that had about four seasons.

Yeah, that's where I've been catching up on "Orphan Black." I wasn't really interested in getting Prime, but I'm an idiot and I signed up for a free trial to get free shipping on some stuff and forgot to cancel, so I have it for the next few months. There's a lot of overlap, especially with the movies, with Netflix and Hulu, but they are starting to get a lot more exclusive television shows, like a bunch of HBO programs and they have "Veronica Mars."

But if you can get access to it for free...woohoo! :)

I forgot about that one...though he is just co-executive producer or something...not sure if it was his baby the way those other shows were (Heroes...you had SO much potential...why????)

[geekslave.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think the main guy for "Heroes" was Tim Kring. I have no idea if Fuller will have anything to do with the reboot.

Yep, "Heroes" started off strong and fizzled alarmingly fast.

wait...they are going to do another series of HEROES????

[geekslave.livejournal.com]

Yep! It's going to be a reboot/mini-series like they're currently doing with the show "24." Supposedly, it'll be all new characters, though I've heard some of the old cast may make appearances.

I have mixed feelings about this...mostly because this is what they should have done in the first place! But I'm sure the blame lies more on the studio than the writers. But now with the popularity of shows like "American Horror Story", showing studios that the audience will follow a good set of writers and actors just as much as characters, this is probably more feasible now.

**sigh** but I'm not sure I can take it!
