SPECIAL ROUND 1

Hello all! Before the bracket gets running up, I have a surprise for you all.

As some of you have pointed out, Hank Schrader (Breaking Bad) is more a DEA agent than a detective. While I think that he fits the detective archetype given that he spends most of the show trying to find Heisenberg, I do have to agree that there are other detectives that are probably better fit. And so... I bring you... A FIVE WAY POLL!

From (most) of the remaining suggestions in the original poll, I have created a 5 way poll to either keep Hank, or replace him with someone else entirely!

The winner will take Hank's spot in Loser's Bracket.

I deleted that last post, but now I feel like I have to stick up for myself. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me wanting to watch a murder mystery where the murders aren’t graphically portrayed and the good guys prevail. Sherlock, Monk, Murdoch… Most detective shows that I’ve seen are like this. Okay, so I went into Hannibal expecting it to be a “quirky detective show” when it’s actually a horror. I made a mistake. But I don’t think I should get bashed for that. And yeah, sorry that I expected the show to be romantic when it feels like every girl on earth is swooning over how sexy and romantic Will and Hannibal’s relationship is. It’s really misleading. I’ll find another show that suits me better, but please don’t bash me if I need to vent about a show not being what I wanted. When I watch a new show, it’s trial and error. I have to try new things to find out if I like them. And sometimes I don’t, and thats okay.

I was thinking of Monk, and while doing so it occurred to me that what the garlic, mountain ash, and wild roses have in common, is that they all are natural antiseptics. Monk is a very aware germphobe who always wipes surfaces, his hands after a handshake etc, so he'll take all the local population's gifts and bring his own antiseptics. So if things like that repulse the vampires, I can see Dracula having a nasty surprise waking up at night and trying to open his own doors or to cook because he has disinfected everything, the handles, the bed, the couches...

Also Monk isn't full of energetic youth blood so would Dracula keep him for that restoration drink right before his murder-boat trip?

Oh that is fascinating. I love these thoughts. Just the idea of vampirism as a disease measure being defeated by aggressive hand washing.

I have seen one (1) episode of Monk, but let's run with this concept and see where it goes. You can correct me where I trip up.

So my first thought is that Monk haaaaaates being touched, and Dracula is extremely touchy all the time. Touching him with the same hands he was using to grab his mustache? His mustache that is right next to his rank breath? This is terrible. He hates it. What I don't know the character well enough to say is what he does about it.

Monk is a recluse, right? He has to closely control his living environment. And one of the reasons Jonathan goes insdvisably napping in the ladies' wing is because his own rooms have been made hateful to him by the presence of the Count. Might Monk try a similar solution? (Would Monk willingly sleep in a place that dusty?) Since he can't just lock himself in his own room because Dracula keeps getting in. Or does Dracula keep getting in, with all of his disinfecting?

My theory about the garlic is that the smell interrupts vampiric mind control. So I will posit that Monk is unknowingly immune to vampiric trances. He does not want women made of dust to kiss him with their red bacteria colored lips. ...so what does he do about it??

I figure the disinfecting is going to be an irritant to Dracula but not one he can call attention to without dropping the good host act. He just has to sit there and take it. I think this is going to move up the theft significantly - Dracula's first order of business is going to be to get rid of Monk's cleaning supplies somehow.

So I think I have convinced myself that both Monk and Dracula are having an incredibly bad time. But is it a fatally bad time?

I think Monk will read to Dracula as entirely harmless, but irritating. He's already abrasive, and Castle Dracula is practically designed to make is existing issues much much worse. Does Dracula enjoy that as proof that his torments are working? Or is it just unpleasant, so he kills him?

I honestly do not know anything whatsoever about Monk's detective methodology, or how quickly he would figure out Dracula, or what he would do with that information.

I do think that if he gets out, he is probably in an even worse mental and physical state than Jonathan was. The man is not okay going in, he's definitely not okay coming out.

I am going to throw this one open to further discussion I think.

Sherlock Holmes in the free domain, it’s Sherlock posting time.

Sherlock being autistic, but not uncaring? Yeah I’ll have a few of those.

And here’s some older Sherlock art:

[incorrect-coai-quotes]

Megure, going through a nervous breakdown: I’m such an incompetent inspector.

Takagi: What are you saying, sir? You’re the most valuable policeman I know!

Megure: But even a kid outsmarts me! That little four-eyed brat!

Takagi: Conan-kun?

Megure: Yeah.

Megure: Once, we found a corpse alone in a house. Death by drowning.

Megure: I said suicide, Mouri-kun said suicide, everyone said suicide.

Megure: Than the brat arrived and asked “where’s the water?”

Megure: The room had no water. Simple. Yet none of us had noticed it!

Takagi:

Megure: I’m such an incompetent inspector!
