Did everyone have a great May the 4th? Did we all nerd it up to eleven? Man, I hope so, because though I sometimes feel the fervor of "Star Wars" fandom has reached Trekker-level proportions, I'm a proud fan boy with an original copy of "Splinter of the Mind’s Eye" who never tires of a good Mon Mothma costume. Thought I was going to say Slave Leia, didn’t you? I should have. I really should have.

Recently, on this very website, I expounded the reasons why I'm not a horror movie fan, and surprisingly received a large number of “I’m with you!” responses as opposed to “Hey, weenie, take off your diaper and watch 'Hellraiser'!” So, I though it would be nice to explain another interesting facet about myself. I don’t like sports either.

By Aaron Sagers
Neil Gaiman doesn’t have time for "Doctor Who." The first episode the acclaimed writer penned for the series, 2011’s “The Doctor’s Wife,” won Hugo and Bradbury awards and has become a fan favorite. But it also took Gaiman more than a year to complete, but showrunner Steven Moffat says that’s precisely what makes him perfect for the job.

'Hannibal': So Far, A Brilliant Series That Almost Redeems The Prequel Concept
Posted 5/10/13 1:00 pm EST by Charles Webb in Op-Ed, TV
Does anyone remember "Hannibal Rising"? The 2007 film from director Peter Webber (based on a screenplay from the character's creator, Thomas Harris), was an origin story for the erudite, cannibalistc serial killer, giving us everything from Nazi nemeses to a tortured love story (and even an unfortunate visual callback to the iconic mask from "Silence of the Lambs" because how could they not).
"Hannibal Rising" represented all of the worst instincts of a prequel: the need to over-explain, the strip all mystery of mystique away from a character until you're left with the detailed scribblings in the margins of a writer's notebook ("and here's where the character learns to love fava beans"). It's the same instinct that gives us an unnecessary explanation for Superman's "S" shield and tortured noodling about in the first two-thirds of the "Halloween" remake where we learn that Michael Meyers had what could be called a troubled home life.
Which is what makes NBC's "Hannibal" not only refreshing, but quite smart: it never seeks to "explain" this enigmatic and charming monster--well, not directly, at least.
