I'm bothered by this for several reasons.  Letting more than a year lapse between airings of a show is a good way to lose an audience.  Hannibal is more suited to winter than summer, and winter is when the show tends to take place.  And of course they waited so close to the anticipated start time (based on previous seasons) to say something that it feels like a snub against the fans that they have. 

 

I hope the move will earn new fans, but if NBC is looking for 'Nielsen' households to tune in, they are going to continue to be disappointed.  There are few shows that I follow live (or live +3), and it irritates me that one of those few is getting pushed around.  I know, I'm grateful it was renewed at all.  But a petty part of me wants to know what am I going to watch in March.

 

I don't suppose NBC will pull a Netflix and release all the Season 3 episodes online at once.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I was really looking forward to it coming back by April, and I don't wanna wait any longer. On the other, I'm thinking, NBC realizes that the show is never going to be a ratings powerhouse and knows its core audience will probably follow it anywhere. So, they're probably thinking it won't lose too much in the ratings--it can only go up, right?

 

But damn it, I've already waited too long!

I have to say, I'm not actually too excited about this upcoming season. With the talk about the first part of the season leaving Will and Hannibal in different countries, I find my interest diminished. I always loved their interaction and knowing that's going to be missing makes me unhappy.

To be fair, even if they would be in the same state they probably wouldn't interact much because Hannibal would still be hiding. And half a season of Hannibal eluding the law is not too much, I think. It would be a bit silly if Will found him straight away. I'm crazy excited! But not everyone has to be, obviously.

I'm having the same problem. Gillian Anderson is wonderful and I like Bedelia well enough, but I thought her previous airtime was just the right amount. I'll still watch every episode, since it sounds like the second half at least will be more to my taste, but I'm surprised to find that the new promos kind of dampened my enthusiasm a bit. It isn't even that I expected us to follow the same formula for the entire series, I just wasn't expecting my first live-watched premiere of this show to be... this. It just doesn't feel satisfying. Still, we have a gorgeously filmed show with excellent actors and interesting writing (which is sadly more than most shows can claim), so I'll just remind myself that change is good and try to enjoy the early episodes as much as I can. And it's entirely possibly that Fuller will really wow me, and I'll wonder what I was ever worried about.

 

I am wondering how this will affect new viewers, though. During the hiatus I've convinced a couple of friends to check out the series, and Hannibal & Bedelia's Italian Adventures is not the story I sold them.
