Hannibal 3x04: "Aperitivo"
Aug. 31st, 2015 11:32 amSo this was the week that the hammer dropped.
NBC Has Canceled "Hannibal"
I did not take it well.

Hannibal 3x03: "Secondo"
Aug. 17th, 2015 05:53 pmThis recap is entirely ridiculous with the pictures and the book quotes and the movie references and the background research and I'm not even sorry because this third season is all we have left, you guys. The show's throwing in everything plus the kitchen sink, so I might as well follow suit.

CAVEAT: I'm probably imagining most of the symbolism! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hannibal 3x02: "Primavera"
Jul. 16th, 2015 09:48 pmSo I guess you heard the news.
No, the other news. You know, let's not say "canceled." Let's say, rather, that NBC has set the show free.

Hannibal 3x01: "Antipasto"
Jun. 20th, 2015 04:30 pmWelp, I don't have episodes 2x06-2x13 recapped, which puts both me and anyone who was depending on them for plot at a huge disadvantage. (That said, tons of sites recap this show now; I guess I go more into the behind-the-scenes and background material.) I'm nearly done with "Futamono," though, and I'd like to try to work through the backlog. More importantly, the ratings this year are unpleasing, which is a hellacious fucking shame because this episode was so good, so I feel like it's more important to focus on the new season now. And this recap itself took me two extra weeks due to health issues. WE MUST PERSEVERE.

Hannibal 2x05: "Mukōzuke"
Apr. 30th, 2015 11:39 amSo... it's been a while. The last twelve months have not the easiest year of my life. I don't know if I can finish up the recaps before season 3 starts on June 4, but I'll give it my best shot. (If I can't make it in time, I'll just keep going until I catch up.) I'd also like to intersperse some Twin Peaks recaps (with commentary from Lily Rose/@lily_delphine) as well. Even I can tell that's delusionally ambitious, but we'll see how it goes, giving Hannibal the priority since it's actually going to be back on the air first.
At this point, the spoiler policy is that I'm going to point out the massive amounts of foreshadowing without actually giving things away, in case you haven't actually watched the show (a lot of people have been interested in the story without being able to handle the gore). Spoilers will be allowed in the comments, and if I have to footnote things to discuss the plot elements down there, I will. Actually, it's going to be super fun going through the season again knowing what happens and being able to pick up on all the themes they wove in; I look forward to slapping myself in the face on a daily basis.
Meanwhile, I left you on a massive cliffhanger:

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Oct. 28th, 2014 03:30 pmWow, it's been a while.
Suffice it to say that I have had an extremely... challenging... couple of months, what with a persistent concrud flu, my sister's wedding, and our dog Scout's (successful) eye surgery. I'm still not 100% as it is, and seasonal affective blarg is setting in. Which is simply to say, there are many things I want to do, and healthwise it may be difficult to do them, so I'm just going to try to stick with it and take as long as it takes.
Hannibal season 2 recaps are still on the way. (Season 3 has started filming in "Lithuania.") (That said...) (New Italy-related spoilers from today.) They're my priority, if only so I can feel like I Finished A Thing, but there's still nine to go and Winter Is Coming, as it were. That's not a hint of any kind. This was a hint of any kind, because I ended up watching Twin Peaks over the last couple of months as a coping mechanism (for some reason, I found it really soothing). I mean, I'd always wanted to, but I was 11 when it aired, and my mother said no. (In retrospect, this was THE RIGHT PARENTAL CALL.) So here I am, nearly 36, and I... kinda watched the series through twice. It was then announced that there will be new episodes on Showtime in 2016 (I am not making this up). I'm serious, I watched the finale on a Thursday night, and the very next morning, David Lynch and Mark Frost made that first pair of synchronized "That gum you like" tweets. Which I kind of feel terrible about, because so many people waited twenty-five years ("I'll see you in twenty-five years." AHHHHHHH) for word of more Twin Peaks, and I waited about twelve hours. I may actually be the Lathe of Fandom.
At that point, I thought, there's more than a year until the new episodes come out, and ton of people who meant to watch it all those years (or who were too young) (not even born yet?) (oh God) will pick it up, and so recaps through 2015 would actually be (somewhat) timely. I think it's about 30 episodes all told (there's like three different ways to count them), so I'm going to start now but not rush it, and hopefully I'll be done by the time the new ones come out. In a similar vein, I mostly want to have Hannibal season 2 finished by the time season 3 starts (which will be later this time--April or May 2015, they said, rather than the way season 2 started this past February). At which point, I hope, I would resume recapping it week by week. I feel like Hannibal needs to take priority because it's a thing in progress and it was there first, but I'm not setting a schedule for when what gets posted. There's a point you get to with seasonal depression, and bipolar depression, and depression in general--sometimes you have to scale back and be realistic, but then, having done that, you have to step out and take a risk now and then. Sometimes you have to do both at the same time. That's a delicate balance.
So, in conclusion:
1) Hannibal season 2 recaps finished by season 3, spring 2015 (hopefully a lot sooner).
2) Classic Twin Peaks recaps fnished by New Twin Peaks in 2016.
3) Two or three other fun things (they do not involve writing), but I'll talk about those once the details are nailed down.

Hannibal 2x04: "Takiawase"
Mar. 31st, 2014 08:26 pmSuper late once again--there are some issues going on that I'll probably end up writing a separate entry about. Additionally, there was a subplot in this episode that was tough to approach (and probably not the one you're thinking). But you'll see.

Hannibal 2x03: "Hassun"
Mar. 24th, 2014 05:19 pmoh my God this recap is so late and the NBC promo people need to reconsider their choices but finally here we are
YOU GUYS.
@DireRavenstag: I feel pretty, oh so pretty. So much pretty, and gritty, and FRIGHT. RT @cleolindajones: DIRE RAVENSTAG EYESHADOW
Here are the pictures I took of Ravenstag in person, on three different primers; it's hard to get across what this looks like in person, other than "fantastic." (People who have gotten it are saying it works well as eyeliner.) Tattler, inspired by the "you've been terribly rude" scene in "Amuse-Bouche," went up on Friday, and I'll swatch it when it arrives. Freddie and I (fourth wall? what fourth wall?) put together A METRIC TON of pictures/suggestions, and Kristen seems as excited as we are, so we'll see what she comes up with this week. It may be a little something called MURDER TIE.
One more thing: Freddie asked Bryan Fuller what Bedelia's perfume was. Imaginary, it turns out. Based on my suggestion that it should be "gardenia with a cold edge,"![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tenebris suggested BPAL's Lady of Shalott.

Hannibal 2x01: "Kaiseki," part two
Mar. 7th, 2014 11:57 amPREVIOUSLY ON: PART ONE OF THE PREMIERE: Everything was terrible and nobody had any boundaries; the episode began with an already-infamous mutual ass-kicking; Hannibal Lecter is the New Will Graham, and the Old Will Graham wants him to step on all the Legos and die. Also: sushi.

Two entries in a row omg
Jan. 9th, 2014 05:52 pmSo this happened:
\o/
Meanwhile, here are the songs that get stuck in your head when you are sick in bed and helpless to do anything about it. Like too sick to even get on Twitter and rid yourself of whichever song by inflicting it on others. Yeah. It was pretty bad.
( Read more... )
Usually it was about this point that I would ask for more Aleve and pass out again.
Meanwhile, I am still mulling over what to do about the Dracula recaps, because I am straight-up loath to give up on them. I had a project I just finished out of SHEER GODDAMNED CUSSEDNESS, and on the whole, I liked it enough that I'd kind of like ~Finishing Things~ to be how I roll from now on. At the same time, I have learned--both from my own experience and the very, very painful experience of other people I know--that sometimes you have to know when to fold 'em. And somewhere between the two, I have to remind myself that this is the internet, where you can do just about anything any way you want to do it, and there's no reason I can't try to get this done by taking a completely different approach. I just don't know what that approach is yet--
OH! Official notice: For reasons just discussed, I will not be liveblogging the Golden Globes on Sunday. I'm thinking about doing sort of a judicious live-tweeting combined with collecting the best tweets I see and putting them together on Storify. I've done liveblogs of award shows since--Jesus, I don't know, 2001 or 2002? I feel like I need to move on from a format that exhaustive at this point, given the massive widespread availability of videos, recaps, tweets, other liveblogs, etc. I don't know--the way I look at it is, if I try less labor-intensive formats, maybe I'll be around more often. So we'll see.
