"THE GREAT RED DRAGON" 07/25/2015 (10:00PM - 11:00PM) (Saturday) : THE GREAT RED DRAGON RISES - RICHARD ARMITAGE GUEST STARS AS FRANCIS DOLARHYDE - NINA ARIANDA AND RAUL ESPARZA ALSO GUEST STAR -- Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) has been under lock and key for three years at the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, when a new villain arises in Francis Dolarhyde (guest star Richard Armitage), also known as "The Tooth Fairy." As the investigation unfolds Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) approaches Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) to help catch this vicious serial killer who is targeting families. Caroline Dhavernas, Aaron Abrams and Scott Thompson also star. TV-14 V Episode 8 of 13 Still cancelled. Quote from Fuller recently at Comic Con. He reveals a lot here. http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/s225/ha...pjvYGJdHHiezd4 "I was aware this was going to be our last season," he told assembled press at Comic-Con 2015. "So I kind of wanted to get as much in there as possible." "I felt like if we were to sustain the Italian chapter for an entire season, there would be episodes that might tread a little water," he explained. "But it was also an awareness of the scythe over our heads - I knew if we didn't do Red Dragon now, we might not be able to." "NBC has been so fantastic and supportive of us, in allowing us to tell a story that no other network would allow us to do," he insisted. "But once we went below a 0.5, I knew Jen wouldn't be able to protect us from the schedulers at NBC. Nobody's going to buy advertising at top dollar rates for a 0.5 rating." But NBC dropping the axe presents perhaps more challenges than many might realize: "Once NBC passes on a fourth season, that dismantles a lot of our international funding," Fuller said. Without its US network, Hannibal loses its "Sony component" - and the AXN channels which broadcast the series in Latin America, Asia, India and other territories. "So then it's back to square one to figure out a financial model for the show," he added. |

Did Armitage speak at all in this episode? If not, an interesting choice. Will's murder reenactment was surprisingly brutal. I loved the effect of his flashlight briefly showing the bodies. |
Re: Hannibal (S3E08) -- "The Great Red Dragon" -- 7/25/15
I too really enjoyed the flashlight effect once I understood what was going on. Took a second to realize that is indeed what they were doing with that effect.
I thought they showed him making sounds (disgusted with his hair lip) but not really speaking. I figure he will truly speak when they show him with Reba for the first time. |

The time jump with Molly just kind of being there felt a little strange. The Hannibal version of Will was such a weirdo it's hard to imagine any woman being comfortable having him around her kid.
It was good to see Scott Thompson and Aaron Abrams. The show had really missed them. Hopefully we get Freddie back next week. |

I'm hoping she plays the scene just like she played Tara.

Thanks. Never watched that show. |
Re: Hannibal (S3E08) -- "The Great Red Dragon" -- 7/25/15
Another great episode. Best show on TV.
Only thing is that, up till now, I never knew what to expect. I know Red Dragon and Manhunter so well, that I (think I) know what's coming. |

Come on, you think they'll play it by the numbers?

It's so wild to me that we live in a world where you can get a guy that was the star in three major movies to do a six episode stint on TV. So wonderful. |

Will resisting jumping back in was always part of the story. But with this series speeding so much time on why that is true, it's so much more effective for this version of Will Graham.

Re: Hannibal (S3E08) -- "The Great Red Dragon" -- 7/25/15
why was there no preview for next week's ep.?
good ep btw. but, i still love Manhunter and compare all to it so this fell way short of Mann's thriller. |

I would have agreed if there was at least some real time lapse between the prior episode and this one. Sure the title card said it's three years later, but it's really only one week later for us. That's why I thought it was a little jarring to just have weirdo Will in a functioning domestic relationship.

Nah, he'd rather make a quick assumption based on one episode.

Hello,
Richard Armitage looking good in this role, I will be suprised if red dragon will be used to kill dr. Graham. Best Regards! |

I had to giggle when I saw that advert at the bus stop as the tooth fairy picked the woman up.
"Open Wide - Say AAAHHH!!!; See your dentist today!" |

So which brave soul among us is willing to try some sanguinaccio dolce (http://www.emikodavies.com/blog/bloo...-sanguinaccio/)? ;-)

Re: Hannibal (S3E08) -- "The Great Red Dragon" -- 7/25/15
Would totally eat. Forgetting about the cannibalism, the show is like food porn. I WISH I could cook like Hannibal.
