I could maybe go along with him not doing it ( due to his code? ) but when the show made it happen regardless, it just felt like bullshit. Do you think he should have killed him?

Solice Kirsk posted:Season 2 of Deadwood was almost as awesome as the first. Third season was kinda weak though. I remember finding season 2 jarring, since I wasn't expecting new characters... But on re-watch I enjoyed it. I'm still not sure if season 3 or 4 is the best. Season 5 sort of sucked. fun fact - sometimes I hear my dad talking about life on the streets, and realize he is pulling his info directly from The Wire. Which is weird because he's worked with criminals his whole professional life. I'm not sure what to make of that.

I actually just binged through season 4 and 5 over the last week skipping all the stuff I didn't care about. Season 5 is actually pretty good when you're skipping all the newspaper and Clay Davis stuff. Also cuts the season run time almost in half.

Look at how weird this scene is... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ca4WeMd2MQ

Attempting once again to read Malzazan (or however the hell you spell it) first book. Jesus christ there are so many characters and I have zero idea what the plot is or who is a good guy or bad guy. It's like ASoIaF in a blender.

wtf how did i accidentally unbookmark this thread i was wondering where it went!!!! https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-first-game-of-thrones-spinoff-is-a-golden-age-of-h-1826680373 quote:HBO officially revealed today that Goldman’s series will be set thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones, in a period where Westeros transitions from an era of fantastical prosperity known as the “Age of Heroes” into something more akin to the world we know of in the show—heralded by the arrival of the horrifying White Walkers, and the Long Night they cast over the land. Here’s the brief plot description, courtesy of Variety:

I would also accept season 5 as an ending since it's a season about him dealing with the fallout of her death, but it isn't as good as 1-4, and anything beyond is just a fever dream. A hilarious fever dream.

Season 1 and 4 were the only decent seasons of Dexter. 2 and 3 were forgettable at best. I don't think I even watched season 5. Season 6 was the one with Tom Hanks' kid right? The one were he smashed a hole in a wall because his face was painted on it and all the cops just stare at it and go "wow, that dude must have been crazy to mess up the painting he made on his own wall" and leave it at that.

2 was great tho b/c Doakes. 3 was very forgettable. 4 also was mostly bad tbqh it had a lot of the dumb poo poo they would double down on later, but Lithgow was so loving good it didn't matter.

Lithgow brought that entire season up on his own. It was cool just to see him get to cut loose and really sink his teeth into the role. The fact that he left the entire rest of the cast in the dust only made it better.
