orangerful: (hannibal // rhoda_rants)


So I spent far too much time today watching the extras on the Hannibal Season 2 DVDs. In my defense, they will be due back to the library soonish.

I am just SO impressed with the extras on this set. Tons of commentary, and it's good stuff! Bryan Fuller is very good at keeping the conversation going and giving lots of insight into the show. The best so far was Episode 7 Yakimono which featured Fuller, one of the other executive producers, and Raul Esparza, the actor who plays Dr. Chilton. Great discussion of the show, the writing, how it is all put together and the fact that the cast enjoys watching it live.

Even more surprising was the HOUR AND A HALF long special on making Episode 5 of this season, which was a big SPOILER episode. If you have seen the show, you know the one. It was AMAZING to see how much work goes into a single episode. I think this is why I'm so obsessed with this show. They really put more work into it than your average series and you can tell. Fuller's brain loves to dabble in metaphor, he is attached to this world, he loves his characters. And it looks like everyone on the crew is invested. They also covered the "controversy" that arose after the episode aired, which I wasn't aware of since I didn't watch it in real time, so it was a bit of fandom history documented, for better or for worse.

So, yeah, very productive weekend as you can tell. I watched Hannibal and also played a LOT of DragonAge. HOW HAVE I NOT BEAT THIS GAME YET!?! It's because I insist on finding ALL THE THINGS. And wow there are so many things.

...on IMDB looking up actor names and it reminded me that Hannibal Season 3 doesn't premiere until June. Ugh. I really want this show to make it to the end. I want to see Fuller get all the way to the arc he has in his mind. So few shows are plotted out that far, I want to see one make it to the end!

...I sorta kinda want to watch the show again before the June premiere. But there are so many other shows I want to watch too!!! #geekgirlproblems

[livejournal.com profile] rhoda_rants and other Fannibals -- DID YOU SEE THIS AWESOME TUMBLR POST?!?!?

I cannot wait for that show to come back. 2015 is going to be quite a year of TV.

In other news, the apartment building next to ours caught on fire today...ugh. Electrical fire too, so BONUS! Our wires could burst into flames at any time! Just another reason to add "GET A HOUSE" to my 2015 to-do list.

Also, the tree has been decorated! Huzzah! It is actually beginning to look and feel like Christmas!

My Librarian has survived 15 days now! Her sanity is always really low though, since she already knew everything to begin with it's hard to find stuff to invent to give her a boost and that's the only way I really know to increase sanity. She did manage to befriend two of the Pigs and they helped defend her when the wolves attacked on night 10. (I won't lie, I totally thought about killing them in their sleep to get their precious skins but decided they would be more helpful alive...for now) I did die once when her sanity dropped so low that one of the dark monster blobs attacked her. **tear** Haven't found another respawn stone yet.

In other news, Tim played for, like, the third time today and he found Maxwell's Door! WTF! I've never found the door before and he is just like "oh what's this?" He doesn't have the skillz like I do yet though so not sure how long he'll survive in there.

I watched the premiere of The Flash which was okay. I haven't watched a CW show in awhile and I forgot how PRETTY everyone is. Doesn't matter WHO you are on a CW show, you must be GORGEOUS in a very marketable way. I was also highly amused that the one geek was wearing Big Bang Theory t-shirts in two separate scenes. Did they originally try to sell this show to ABC? LOL.

OH OH and one of my librarian friends had her Facebook page DELETED by Facebook this week because she didn't use her "real name". Um, my Facebook name is currently "orangerful" yet no one has said anything to me. I'm really hoping they delete the page, I will rejoice in being free and I will never sign up again.

Watched the livestream of the Hannibal Paleyfest coverage which was fun and OMG it really made me miss that show. Started following the NBCHannibal tumblr to get a little fix which made me realize the library has yet to get season 2 on DVD! I have seen all the episodes but I NEED COMMENTARY! Especially since there is still no official premiere date for Season 3. **DIES**

Went to Kohls 3 times in the past week. First time was all for Tim and Sylvia. Second time I went to get some Kohls Cash earned. And today I went and spent said Kohls cash. I'm pretty much set for Fall/Winter clothes now, though I do desperately need a jacket and maybe some brown boots to go with the brown pants I bought.

Does anyone have a favorite site for jackets? I want to get another nice long warm peacoat and that covers my butt.

This post is getting long, I will save my American Horror Story thoughts for later. :)

I just finished the Season 2 finale minutes ago ... OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

spoilers, obviously!!! )

Okay, I'm going to go through tags on other people's LJs, but if you have a good Hannibal post, please link it in the comments so I don't miss it!!!! Now I'm stuck waiting like the rest of you!!! I just put the Season 1 DVD on hold at the library because I want to watch it with the commentary tracks and maybe watch the extras, which I was afraid to do before I finished because of spoilers.

Anyone going to SDCC wanna help me out?

So...I just watched Season 2, Episode 4 of Hannibal...

SPOILERS and general spazzing, must express FEELS )


GAH! I want to know what happens next but it's already 11:15 and I've learned the hard way that Hannibal before bedtime is a bad idea.

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?")
