Dexter influence? - 13/9/2011 12:52:17 PM

This could end up being like Dexter, Hannibal is on his on killing spree/all you can eat buffet while helping the FBI solve other crimes on serial killers/random crimes (and making sure his crimes don't come back on him). Not sure whether this is a good idea or not to be honest, could work but could easily fail miserably...... Hasn't the 'FBI hiring a specialist to solve crime' been done to death now?

I think the other question has to be, who could be Hannibal?

Less flogging of a dead horse and more pounding the ashen fragments of what used to be a horse unforgivingly into the ground. This stopped being fun before Hannibals credits rolled.

Each episode, Lector signs off with a "Yeah? Eat Me!" It's the new John McClane!!!!

This sounds like it could be fun, either as Lecter free and killing while evading capture or the more traditional "missmatched buddy cop" idea, either way i'll give it a go, especially with Bryan Fuller's involvement. So, casting?

God, haven't they squeezed the last drop out of this lemon yet? Hannibal Lecter was once a terrifying, ferocious, classic horror villain. He got gradually more ridiculous and he's now become totally anaemic and toothless by ending up on TV. This character has gone as far as he can and needs to be laid to rest now.

Or untill the remake of Slience of Lambs comes out and you know it will sooner of later. As for a TV series no leave it alone.
