I would believe you, and I’d recommend you check out our own @disqus_ZFzIRFoZjP:disqus’s discussion of the Manhunter–Hannibal continuum, and where The Silence of the Lambs and Scott’s Hannibal fall on it. (What’s that you say? Brett Ratner filmed Red Dragon? I don’t know what that means and I won’t respond to it.)

In a comment on the Forgotbuster piece, Nathan noted how much the adaptions of Harris have reflected their directors’ style, and I think Fuller’s show fits well into that observation; my most frequent reaction to it is an In the Loopish “what was with all the homoerotic tension?”

Would you believe me if I said I’ve only ever seen MANHUNTER?

Out-of-context-reference-to-the-novels-count: 10. (I originally wanted to do this as a drinking game, but “Tome-wan” would have resulted in alcohol poisoning by the second commercial.)
