[What the fuck,NBC?Not like you have much else!]


And I am not going to apologise for the swearing because honestly?it's how I feel right how.
I was all ready to blog about something else, but then *that* news dropped. Yeah, Hannibal got cancelled. I was upset. I called my mom and she was genuinely upset for me, and she doesn't even like the show! Same with my dad-my Fannibal dad -who will be 75 years young next month!

I was actually on Twitter when the news dropped. I didn't believe it until several people associated with the show confirmed it.

On the plus side though, there is a very strong possibility Hannibal will be picked up by someone-whether it be Netflix or Hulu or whoever(Netflix or one of the pay cable channels like HBO seem to be the favourites right now.) Fannibals will do everything they can-tweet and email people who like the show especially-to try and get them to support Hannibal-it's surprising how many celebrity Fannibals there are-Jordan Gavrais from Orphan Black tweeted that he's a fan recently, and then just today tweeted about the cancellation too.

Can I just say: I have made So.Many.  friends because of this show, and I would hate it if that went away.This fandom feels more like a family than any fandom I have been in. The cast also feels like a family-mind you this is a cast and crew who are on social media interacting with fans. Sure, other show's casts and crews are on social media, but it just doesn't..searches for a word and settles on "ring as true" as  it does with the Hannibal cast and crew.

NBC are really fucking themselves over  by cancelling Hannibal-they really do not realise what they are losing by cancelling Hannibal-Hannibal is a show that is not afraid to take risks, and NBC really were taking a risk in the first place by airing it. NBC could use a lot more risky shows..they play things way too safe.

Now,NBC're  going to coast along on the few "successful" shows they have, and hope that some of their new shows are going to be successful in the fall(not fucking likely.. most of those shows will get one or two episodes before they're cancelled.)

I seriously doubt that NBC are paying attention to what's being posted/tweeted about them,but I hope if they are, they feel really fucking stupid about canceling Hannibal.That won't uncancel Hannibal but it's something.

The ultimate irony would be Hannibal being a HUGE hit with whoever picks it up and NBC  face-fuckingpalming that they cancelled it.
