Watching Aquarius. Can't decide if it's really good or if it just pushes my buttons enough that I think that it is.
Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
My memory is for shit, so I can't remember whether casting news is allowed in show threads, or if it has to go in Spoilers.
But for the people who haven't already heard it elsewhere, Elementary has cast Sherlock's father, who will be a regular in S4. I'll post a link if I'm allowed to do that here, or in Spoilers if that's where it goes.
Or you could google it.
(Seriously, though, I cannot remember for the life of me what the spoiler rule is with casting news. I feel like it's okay in-thread, but ISTR arguments that it's not. Do we have a Buffista Magna Carta where I can look this up?)
Casting news is Spoilers Lite.
So...YOU are the Magna Carta? Awesome!
Okay, I'll post it in Spoilers Lite. If anyone cares. Which they should. Because it's kind of PERFECT.
No, I won't, because sj already posted it. Sheesh, you can tell what threads I'm unsubscribed to, huh???
Is this where we talk about Hannibal? Because... 10 minutes, yay.
Yes it is! I'm ridiculously excited.
So excited. I've done no reading up, so I have no idea what to expect. Can't wait to see why Dr. GA (can't remember her character's name) is with him. How? Why?
So, Bedelia actually full-on murdered the patient who has been represented as having attacked her up until this point. Hannibal's hold over her seems to be that he knows that and that she is slightly more drawn to him than repulsed by him. Interesting.
The smarmy guy who knew Hannibal's cover was bogus was... smarmy.
Eddie Izzard's character's situation is just so gross and, I mean, it's funny right? Dark funny is one of the show's many facets. And stunning visuals. I shouldn't be concerned about myself... overly? He kept going back to wondering how Hannibal would feel as it was happening to him. Hmmm.
Good gravy, Gillian Anderson is just so stunning (there's that word again).
I thought it was a smooth, fairly subtle opening. I will enjoy seeing what happened to last year's team... looks like we'll get some of that next week.
I love the non-linear story telling, but I'm uncertain about when the b&w Izzard scenes take place. I think those are in the basement of Hannibal's old house and therefore during last season's time line. Right?
Bedelia is both darker than we realized and in waaaaay over her head. "What have you gotten yourself into, Bedelia?" Indeed.
The smarmy guy who knew Hannibal's cover was bogus was... smarmy.
I wonder what he thought he was going to get out of the situation.
