Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
An IO9 poster got really mad at me as a sample of the dumb audience who needed everything watered down for them. I said that I didn't need Fuller to pull the smug, urbane rug out from underneath my feet in order to show me the inhumanity of his protagonist--I find Hannibal grotesquely made up in a gentleman meatsuit, and i never forget.
The biggest reaction I had to the poster's tirade was--why do fans feel everyone has to like everything? I will explain my attraction until the cows come home, but I'm not mad at people who state they don't like it while sticking to their I statements. But this person was really ad hominem and mad.
So I'm not going to really watch the show (I know me well enough to know I'll track it through idle watching or recap reading), but I'm not fan material. So very dumb of me. As if all "intelligent" people ever agreed on one form of...well, anything, ever. I feel awful this guy threw me out of the club.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Daaaamn, Hannibal. I think I'm gonna have to process that before I have any idea what to say.

Finally started watching Hannibal and OMG. The beauty and the horror. I've only made it through the first two episodes, but Bryan Fuller is doing something amazing here.
Not sure if this is the right place, but also started on Nikita and OMG another team doing just what needs to be done, at least from the first episode.

And Maggie Q does all her stunts that don't involve jumping off tall structures! And many of the power players are female! And the writing room was chickified too!

Frank, you'll find Nikita was mostly discussed in Minearverse.

So, still catching up on Hannibal. I'm about halfway or just past on the first season. Is it wrong that I also think of this show as food porn? Because, despite the ingredients, everything that Hannibal serves just looks delish, even when it's (not human) things I would not eat ever (not big on the organ meats).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's total food porn.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Frank, have you had a chance to browse through the archives of Hannibal's food stylist's blog? It's amazing.

Thanks, JZ. That's impressive all right.
