Getting caught up on Hannibal; I bought a season pass, because Mads Mikkelson. Also, their Will Graham continues to impress me, and you never really know what Lecter is serving his dinner guests. Making Freddie Lounds a hot redhead was a good idea, too bad she is easily the weakest link in the acting sphere of an otherwise impressive cast.
Episodes 2 and 3 of Defiance were both much better than the pilot, which was largely generic. I can't get past the "Lawkeeper" being just like Han Solo, but it's the Empire Strikes Back Solo, not the Return of the Jedi Solo, so that's good. Some of the homage to earlier SF is just too direct. Like the elevator scene in the mine, going down to face the Alien Queen Hellbug Broodmother, the troupe was actually outfitted with gear which looked straight out of USCM surplus. Colonial Marines in an mining operation's elevator going to face alien bugs. A bug hunt. Yeah. BUT I STILL LIKED IT, otherwise.
Picked up the season pass for Enlightenment as well. Lead character reminds me of several of my California friends. So angry.
