NBC, are you trying to kill Hannibal?

First NBC refuses to air the fourth episode of their very good Hannibal series and now they’re cutting a full 15 minutes out of the eighth episode of the series. 15 minutes removed means that the actual show will be about 30 minutes long which isn’t a lot of story time for a series like Hannibal.

I get that NBC is trying to extra-extra supersize the last episode of The Office, but why do it at the expense of one of their new dramas? Why not extra-extra-extra supersize The Office, air something like the very first episode of The Office after and then show the COMPLETE Hannibal the next week?  C’mon!
