Re: TV Series you want to discuss, it's here
^ according to IMDB he has only 6 episodes, but that's perfectly fine w/ me. I am just glad to see him on this show at all.
i have never read the books. The opening credits of the show says it's based on "Red Dragon". does that book provide all the material for all these episodes? I heard the author wrote 4 books about the character Hannible Lector. One of them is Silence of the Lamb. I saw that movie, but not the Red Dragon movie. I am not sure how the show corresponds to any of these books.

Re: TV Series you want to discuss, it's here
the are 4 novels.
red dragon - written first, second in timeline wise, hannibal has already been captured with will's help and they are trying to catch the tooth fairy. basically, the second part of this season should be this book, more or less.
silence of the lambs - written second, third in the timeline, lecter is still in the mental hospital, first appearance of clarice sterling, catching buffalo bill (as of yet unknown whether or not they will get permeation to use her character or will have to make a proxy)
hannibal - written third, forth timeline wise, lector has been out for 10 or so years, sterling has been trying to catch him, has a very controversial ending
hannibal rising - written last, it's a flashback book about how hannibal developed his cannibalistic fixations, people don't like it because it gives him a somewhat simpatetic background and explains the origin of his psychopathy. if they touch on this book it will be heavily edited as it's set during WW2 and in the fifies/sixties of 20th century

Re: TV Series you want to discuss, it's here
thank you so much for the info! I am not going to read the books until after all is over. For me reading books first always ruin my show watching experience. ALWAYS. so i am staying away from all the spoilers. one thing is already spoiled for me of course - that Hannible would be caught eventually. I really hate this creature so knowing he would be caught later gave me some peace of mind. At the end of both seasons, it seemed that
Why doesn't the book continue w/ Will Graham and introduces Clarice instead?

Re: TV Series you want to discuss, it's here
i'm not sure, but i think will has just had enough of lecter as he tries to kill him and his family from prison using the tooth fairy in the climax of red dragon. also, will by that point knows lecter pretty well, and with clarice we get the inside info from a novice and someone who has only read about lecter.

Re: TV Series you want to discuss, it's here
so, there was a MASSIVE leak last night and all those who can't wait week for week can watch the first 4 episodes (i keep reading 6, but have only found 4 so far) of GAME OF THRONES.
someone is gonna get fired and/or sued, if this wasn't a revenge thing for the same thing.

Re: TV Series you want to discuss, it's here
^I read about it on a Dutch newssite: apparently 4 episodes were leaked.
They say the episodes are of bad quality with a watermark in them, but anyone who can't wait for a few weeks can now see them.
Wow, this is a very deliberate act to hurt the show, and it most likely was an inside job.
Heads are going to roll if they find whoever did it.
(Btw, I don't watch GoT, but I know it's one of the most popular shows of the moment.)

Orphan Black is back and i watched one episode and completely lost as to who is what and what's going on. I think my brain is too simple for this show. Will pass on and try something else.

Meanwhile, i finished Grimm and I think it's a fine season especially toward the end. Waiting for the news of Chris being on it in some capacity in the next season.
I am certainly not complaining that

Haven't seen this season, yet, but I guess having too many clones is confusing lol
Oh, anybody here is watching Game of Thrones's season 5? Is it good?
Re: TV Series you want to discuss, it's here
^ yes yes! goodie goodie! love it so far. I heard they are getting away from the books now, since there's no telling when and if the author would complete the series. meanwhile the tv show can't wait, so hell knows what will happen. anybody can die. so far some have already died. yoohooo! (not to celebrate death of course). watch it. it's great as usual.

Re: TV Series you want to discuss, it's here
it's a dramatization of the real life story of William Masters and Virginia Johnson, who very pioneers of the sexual revolution and sexology as a discipline. They condacted a secret sex study for about 10 years in the laste '50's and then published 2 books in the late '60 that changed the way people looked at sex and it deconstructed many taboos and falsehoods about women and sex in particular, as well basically invented the therms such as sexual dysfunction.
he was a very well respected gynecologist in saint louis, and she was initially his secretary, then his research assistant and finally full blown partner. and their personal life is rather juicy, as they had secret affair/participation in their own sex study for about 14 years, before he divorced his wife and married her (their own marriage ended some 20 years after that, in his 70's and her 60's). they invented sex therapy and practical cures for impotency and such that is still used today, and also had some rather controversial attempts in homosexual conversion therapy that were a complete fail.
all in all, very interesting people with an extremely complicated interpersonal relationship. it''s to complicated to go detail, not to mention rather touchy subject because nobody really knew what was happening between them and the only account is from johnson pow in a biography "masters of sex" (which is the basis of the show) when she was in her late 80's, and after being dumped by masters after 36 years together. because reading the book from her account and then from others, i would say that the words bitter and revisionist history did come to my mind. either way, what ever the truth, they sure were an interesting pair.
it stars micheal sheen as masters and lizzy caplan as johnson. it's a period drama on showtime. the show is pretty racy though, lots of sex, in and out of the lab. but no violence, so for those who prefer love over war, this is the show for you.

It's about f**** time!!
Tatiana Maslany for best actress in a drama series, "Orphan Black". I thought it was her best work yet, and that is saying something.

SO damn agree. She totally deserves it
Btw, I've finished Season 3 of Orphan Black, and thought the first one is still the best for me and the one that made me feel in love with this series, with S3 the sparks is back again. And can't wait for what is coming.
OH also I've finished GOT this week and this season was spectacular. GOSH that ending...can't wait for what is coming. I'm so damn excited!
Re: TV Series you want to discuss, it's here
GOT - new season started out w/ a bang! then more bang, bang and more bang!
bang bang bang! (i mean a good way - i absolutely love this new season)
i think the HBO writers do a better job than GRRM (although we all have to thank GRRM for starting this series and set the characters/relationships/tones). It's actually going somewhere, and a lot of the rumors/speculations seem to come true.
can i just say i ADORE the white wolf? isn't he super duper fluffy? and he woke up just when ... (ok i won't spoil it)

Re: TV Series you want to discuss, it's here
wait what? season 7 has 13 episodes and that's the end of the series? pardon my ignorance because i intentionally did not seek any GOT spoilers for fear of being spoiled. it's good not to be spoiled, although knowing about episode count doesn't count as spoilers.
the good thing is now there's no book to guide us, so all "spoilers" are more or less speculations and predictions. nobody knows how things will end exactly, except that it will be "bitter sweet" or whatever it means. there's hardly any distinction between good and evil here, but the overall theme will probably be the eventual defeat of the WWs, which are the ultimate anti-human.
this is now my fav show. actually it had been my fav show since i discovered it a few years ago.

Re: TV Series you want to discuss, it's here
actually, i heard that season 7 has 7 and season 8 has 6 episodes. the show costs a lot of money so they are shortening it. that is what i've heard.

i love it as well. my favorite show changes every few months, but it's up there.
have you watched penny dreadful. it's this amazing classic horror tv show with eva green and timothy dalton. it has all the classic characters like frankenstein and the monster, dorian grey, wolfman, vampires, the devil, witches, .... it's really high quality stuff. but it is horror, like hannibal so it's not for everyone.
