Elizabeth Sandifer created Eruditorum Press. She’s not really sure why she did that, and she apologizes for the inconvenience. She currently writes Last War in Albion, a history of the magical war between Alan Moore and Grant Morrison. She used to write TARDIS Eruditorum, a history of Britain told through the lens of a ropey sci-fi series. She also wrote Neoreaction a Basilisk, writes comics these days, and has ADHD so will probably just randomly write some other shit sooner or later. Support Elizabeth on Patreon.

    Pedantry, I’m afraid; while one bares teeth, one bears gifts.

    As someone who doesn’t watch Hannibal, I’ve been reading these and essantially gathering what the series is like from first principals, and from that perspective, the “negative space” of “this episode is exactly what the series isn’t” is really interesting.

      “Essantially”. Darn you, Muphry’s Law!

      I don’t think the episode does that negative space very well. One can imagine an alternate reality where the show did this on purpose (it’d be a nice bit of formalism, actually, since a similar negative-space murder is how Hannibal points Will at Garrett Jacob Hobbes) but this episode isn’t really that. The review might be better than the episode, honestly. It’s not bad, but I spent about the first half of the review trying to remember which episode it even was, which is I think a fair comment on its mediocrity.

        Sorry, I wasn’t clear; I meant the review was interesting, because it uses the not-great episode to define what Hannibal is.
