The cannibal got eaten - #SaveHannibal

(Source: https://www.facebook.com/NBCHannibal?fref=ts)

I was absolutely shocked yesterday afternoon when I read the news. As tolerant as I am with so many things but this time the TV channel NBC made the biggest mistake of their existence.

The highly praised and intelligent TV series Hannibal got cancelled!!!

At first I did not even want to believe it but there it stood. I immediately thought that the guys who are responsible for this must be insane! I do not understand how someone could imagine cancelling such a well made show as Hannibal. Maybe the numbers of viewers dropped after the first episode of the new season but out there in the world are still so many people and Fannibals who do not want to see their favourite TV show killed. The fanbase of Hannibal is big enough and a very devoted and passionate one. Out there are still enough and many men and women to whom Hannibal is the best and most intelligent show on TV that has been there for years! The Fannibals absolutely love their show and I consider myself part of this fandom too and I do not want to see such a brilliant show being dropped like a stone!

Hannibal only just started with its third season and it really deserved another season after such a thrilling second round. The creators and writers of this show have managed it to create so many fascinating and original stories like one has never seen before on TV. This show dares to show the dark side of human behaviour and our own psyche. Hannibal made it possible to create beauty with the help of murders and psychopaths and we just love it! This has never been any ordinary show, it does not stop where so many other crime/thriller shows stop or think they cannot go because this is not "appropriate" or "too abnormal". That is exactly why we love Hannibal! We watch it because of its unusual and unpredictable story lines, plot twists and interesting characters. This show is not just trying to be clever, it IS clever and manages it to hook the audience after the first episode because one never knows what really happened and why and if we can trust our own mind. Hannibal challenges its audience and is not one of those pattern-repeating TV shows to which you can just switch in any episode without knowing anything. No, Hannibal creates intelligent and thrilling stories which keep you on the edge of your seat even tough you have watched every episode and believe you know what is going on. This TV show is far too clever for that.

The actors and their characters are just another honourable factor in the praise for this show. It is undeniable that Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy are fantastic actors who play their roles (beyond) brilliantly! 
The intelligent and cultured cannibal Hannibal Lecter could not be portrayed any better on TV than by Mads Mikkelsen. He gives this role the certain coldness of the murderous cannibal, the calmness of the educated cook and the emotions of the "real" Hannibal. An amazing portray by a skilled actor who is more than capable to keep up the interest in such a famous character. 
Hugh Dancy is just the same. He is perfectly able to portray the split personality of Graham who is often balancing between losing his mind and being a very clever agent with special skills. Next to Hannibal the character of Will Graham was not very famous but the show and the brilliant acting of Hugh Dancy gave this interesting character a face and the popularity he deserved. Graham is an equal counterpart to Hannibal and so is Dancy to Mikkelsen. He is equal to him in every way and the chemistry between Graham & Hannibal/Dancy & Mikkelsen is one like you have never seen before. Graham is a man capable of keeping up with Hannibal and Hugh Dancy plays him brilliantly with the right mixture of emotionality, cleverness, reserve and bravery.

So Fannibals, now it is our duty to give a shout out to the TV producers and channels out there so that they help us save our beloved cannibal from getting eaten. Sign this online petition so NBC learns that they made a huge mistake: https://www.change.org/p/nbc-netflix-what-are-you-thinking-renew-hannibal-nbc
Tell me and the other people about your love for Hannibal so that the others see how much this show means to us! Write, draw, make a video or whatever can express the love and the importance of this issue. We will not sit still and watch our favourite show being cannibalised itself, so spread the words: #SaveHannibal !!!

I'm finished and back!

Well, it has been quite some time since I did some proper blogging. School got hold of me or to be more accurate: final exams had got me completely occupied. But now I've been finished with them for over a week and I thought it was time to finally write something on my blog again ^_^

The exams were pretty good, I don't have the results of my written exams yet but my three oral ones were excellent! I just hope that my other exams will turn out just as well and that I will soon be relived of the burden of waiting. I don't have school anymore, in fact I haven't been to school for two months and I will never have to again! There are only a few appointments left now like the graduation ceremony and the ball. Oh god, the ball!!! I'm a little bit afraid because I have never danced in my life (although I'm quite fond of it anyway) and I'm not really a party person. I just hope that the evening will go down peacefully and without any great embarrassment. I still need to ask my friend if she goes to the ball with me because they force us to do an entrance dance at the beginning of the ball and I still need someone for it ^_^ My friend is just as annoyed and uncertain about the whole dancing thing as I am, so I believe that she will say yes and we get this behind us and we both feel stupid about it ^_^

But I still can't quite believe it that I have finished school after twelve years! It have been some exhausting but mostly enjoyable years but I believe that I will think nicely of them when I look back at them in the future. The spare time I got now is almost unbelievable! For the past two years I had to do so much studying and now it's all gone! Finally I find the time to do stuff I never really had the time for. I have been writing on my novel again and that with great excitement! I finally got some difficult parts of it finished and have written so much what I couldn't have done the past few months. I'm near the 300 pages mark and the end is not near yet. If you want to know more about my novel let me know in the comments or message me. I will gladly do it, an author is always happy if he can talk about his work ^_^

And now prepare yourselves ladies and gentlemen because I have eventually joined a fandom that has been there for nearly fifty years and is one of the biggest in the world: Star Trek!!! Yes, after spending an entire day in front of the telly because there was a Star Trek marathon on, I now got hooked and watch the stuff ^_^ I'm currently watching The Next Generation and have finished the first season and I can only say that this universe of Star Trek is simply brilliant! The show may be old but it makes me laugh so much and the characters are really funny and loveable. For the Trekkies among you reading this, if any of you are wondering: my favourite character is Data; he is probably one of the most funniest, smartest and iconic characters ever invented, I can't get enough of him! I will continue to watch The Next Generation of which I have already seen all its movies too and after that I will proceed with the Original Series.

Where are the Game of Thrones fans??? How brilliant has the fifth season been until now. Don't worry, I won't give any spoilers here but I have got to say that this season is almost as good as the last one. There are still three episodes left and I get the feeling that there will be some interesting plot twists in the final of this season. I look forward to the next episodes and hope that they will continue to keep getting better. Until now they managed it almost every weak to get me out of my seat at the end of every episode ^_^

The 4th of June is coming and the Fannibals among you will know what this means. The third season is finally airing!!! I have seen all the little teasers and trailers they have published and they only make me more and more curios about which way the characters of the show are going to take. Hannibal seems to be enjoying himself in Italy but what are Will and Jack doing? Are they really gonna catch Hannibal so easily? Doubtful but then Hannibal is a show where anything can happen.

Well, that's it for this time I think. I believe that I will be able to write more often now since I have the time ^_^ I'll try to write about the new episodes and seasons of upcoming shows and will keep you up to date about what is going on in my crazy fandom-filled life. If there's anything you want me to write about or show you or if you wan to see any texts about specific themes, shows or movies, don't hesitate to ask me. Keep your heads for those among you who are still in exam stress and if you are already finished: enjoy the free time and go watch some movies or read a good book. Make it so and don't let anyone bother you. And my final word today obviously has to be: Engage!

Many Happy Returns - 10th Anniversary of New Doctor Who

It has now been ten years since Doctor Who is back on our televisions and what amazing ten years it have been! Ten years ago, on this very day, Christopher Eccleston took our hand and said "Run!" and we have never stopped running since then.

Doctor Who has been a wonderful show all these years and I mean not just the last ten years, all the past fifty years were absolutely brilliant! After nine years of absence after the movie, Doctor Who made a phenomenal comeback and excited a complete new generation of kids and young adults with its funny stories about the eccentric Doctor. Christopher Eccleston was the perfect Doctor for brining the show back and for introducing people to the universe of Doctor Who who had never heard of it before. In the past ten years Doctor Who became a TV show that has had success round the entire world and became a global thing. Doctor Who has connected people all over the world with its magic of time travel, historical events, aliens and the best character in television history. Doctor Who has taught us so many great lessons of life and always had an open ear for every kind of issue. No one was ever to unimportant or not special enough for the Doctor because he taught us that everybody is important and everybody can do something brilliant.

So, happy birthday Doctor Who. Only a wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey show like you could celebrate a 10th anniversary after a 50th but then: this just fits perfectly to the show ^_^ I hope you will enchant many of us for another ten years to come 8and hopefully more) and thank you for coming back and being a part of our lives!
