Podcasts!

[cleolinda]

I kept trying to write ~companion posts~ to go with the podcasts, got too bogged down in rainy depression to manage it (THREE WEEKS OF STORMS AND MIGRAINES, Y'ALL), and so I am probably doing the Matter of Taste guys a disservice by dumping several hours of discussion on you all at once. Really, the episodes are kind of like movie-length

I very much enjoyed reading your "ideal ending" post just now. (But the waffles are still people because Hannibal's lurking in the restaurant's kitchen.)

[cleolinda]

Heh. I basically came up with that on the spot, but I like the idea of Clarice and Will as freelance bounty hunters the more I think about it.

How has no one made fanfiction out of this ending yet? It's got everything: bounty hunters, dogs, a righteous and strong female character, the jaded, scary looking ex-cop. I mean it's just rife with potential.

[cleolinda]

I just really want waffles, honestly.

That's the last line in the Hannibal/Pushing Daisies crossover.

HEY I meant to mention this the last time you were talking about migraines (maybe i did? maybe i forgot? halp) but if you take imitrex/sumatriptan for migraines, make sure the manufacturer is not Ranbaxy as their generics are tainted crap that actually seem to make my symptoms worse.

[cleolinda]

Yikes! Nope, I just take Aleve. I'm trying Goody's and BC powder occasionally.

SILENCE (book and film) are still in my top 5 books/films of all time.

Love the book of HANNIBAL- especially the Florence scenes- but yeah, that ending. He has to destroy everything that makes her interesting to him in order to possess her. The film version is abominable, but the ending is much better. It's a shame they cut out Mason Verger's sister, Margo- my fave part of HANNIBAL is when Lecter talks to her, not as "captive/captor" but as Psychiatrist/Patient again. He seems legitimately concerned about her psychiatric health.

Agree with all of this! I think Bryan Fuller mentioned his interest in exploring both Mason and Margot Verger's stories at some point, so I'm excited to see his interpretation.

[cleolinda]

You know, rereading the Hannibal ending, there was a lot more of her personality left than I remembered--she was "unpredictable." I still just think that if a need to save victims and bring wrongdoers to justice is a major part of her personality, and one that he respected, then... you've got a problem here. But then, that is something we discuss.

HE DIGS UP HER FATHER TO HELP HER GET OVER HER ISSUES :)

Skype had it's shit together last night? Good, maybe this Sherlock Holmes podcast might actually happen.

[cleolinda]

Yeah, the guys actually kind of flickered in and out on my end a few times, but they said I was coming in pretty clear, and I wasn't booted off once. Hopefully Skype's sorted itself out.
