Hannibal - consider me, uh, hooked.

So, I watched the first three episodes of Hannibal last night/this morning, and particularly as someone who's never gotten into any of the current crop of "good" cable television - your Dexters, your Homelands, whatever else is on premium cable, etc, I am loving this, but:

There was this Harry Potter fic, a Snarry one, which I absolutely didn't bookmark, but the premise was something like either in battle or post-war conflict, Harry got cursed with, like, mushrooms. Possibly other things, but definitely that. Creeped me right the fuck out, still creeps me out to think about it, but I finished the fic anyway - either because it was really good or I was on such a Snarry binge at the time, I can't remember.

Anyway, yeah, so I watched pretty significant sections of Hannibal episode two with my hands blocking off portions of the screen, but I couldn't bring myself to skip forward entirely. Good job, I guess?

Also, so Vikings. From the Hulu description of the show:

The name Viking is synonymous with extreme violence and terror. But few people know what it was really like to live in the world of the Viking. This scripted drama will use real characters from history to humanize the Viking and authentically re-create the Viking Age.

Oh, is that what they're doing? Okay.
