Something I hope we all can agree on is that Dexter had great music.

honestly I think there were a couple years where I had convinced myself DJ Qualls had guest-starred in one of the later seasons. the last few seasons are such a blur for me that it was just a vague feeling he had been in some plotline that went nowhere. I realized later he had actually been on breaking bad, which means dexter's even being overshadowed by BB in the same time slot in my brain.

Even though I've seen him in a bunch of stuff, I can't picture Matthew Lillard without that weird goofy, super-strained grin that was pretty much his thing. It really worked for him as Shaggy.

S6 E9. You may read some meaning into the constantly slowing down pace of my watching this show. - I can't help but feel that Colin Hanks hasn't really been given a lot of material to work with this season. Or maybe he's just the actor-equivalent of lactose-free non-dairy vanilla ice cream? - The big painting has "2Lot" hand-written at the bottom, in a place where an artist might ... I dunno, "sign" their work. What could it possibly mean? Is it from the bible? I think we need someone to write this down a few times and get out the circling pens! - Then again this IS Dexter so it probably isn't going to be an artist's signature, huh? - Oh my loving god the second law of thermodynamics yes why not write that on a painting - Oh my double loving god "The 2 Lot's Tale" - Dexter's talking religion now. Do not make him a religious guy god damnit! - Ah yes let's track down the blog's "internet protocol address" and hope the Doomsday Killer is running the server from his back pocket - Oh Quinn you massive moron, losing your gun in a stripper's back seat (not a euphemism)... and that's the best case scenario. - "When it comes to matters of the heart... always follow your dick." - Oh so, the whole "Quinn lost his gun" subplot was just an excuse to make fun of an overweight middle-aged woman? Stay classy, show. - lol this very subtle and believable atheist professor - Instead of making vague allusions to some vague threat, maybe you could've just said you have reason to believe, you know, THE DOOMSDAY KILLER, is targeting the atheist professor? - Dexter's talk of DDK Jr. being able to get a fresh start after the DDK has been killed means he's 100% dead. RIP guy. - Oh no wait. This is Dexter, so that's not nearly dumb enough: it's going to turn out that ... I dunno, he's been the real DDK all along despite all the scenes we've seen of DDK bullying him around. Maybe the older DDK was the ghost of his father or something? Is that a dumb enough theory? I know this wouldn't make a bit of sense considering we've seen the older DDK doing physical things, but this is also the show where the Ice Truck Killer's ghost ate stuff in Dexter's car, and helped Dexter carry a heavy body up a grain silo so v  v- "DDK took another page out of my brother Brian's playbook". He's not going to turn out to be Dexter's real dad or older brother, is he? He is, isn't he? Can I change my dumb theory to this? - lol and now Laguerta is best buddies with the commissioner she's always hated and had a mutually exploitative relationship with - "I'm here if you need a chair", I love Dexter's bad attempts at fitting in - Hmm the super religious biblical Doomsday Killer has been within 500 feet of this place. Could that very visible abandoned church a stone's throw away have something to do with it? Let's not bother checking it out. - What the hell is this storyline of Batista's kid sister's romance with the intern building up to? - Ominous music and shot of a prosthetic hand. Is the intern going to turn out to be the loving Doomsday Killer? That would be too dumb even for Dexter. - Oh no I'm right about the DDK being Travis's ghost dad, aren't I? They cut from a shot of Travis talking to the DDK to a shot of Dexter talking with Harry's ghost, which is George Lucas levels of "it's like poetry, it rhymes" editing. That was just a joke, show! Don't do it! - lol frozen Gellar in the basement. gently caress me.

Ahhhhh, finally  During the original run, some goon (apologies for not remembering who) called that poo poo in episode 1, and once that gets pointed out, it's apparently VERY obvious in every scene that Gellar isn't alive anymore. I can't speak to whether or not I would have gotten it, because quite literally every goon in the original thread who was hatewatching this whole mess was on that train. Did you get to the Cheerios part yet? You'll know it when it happens.

This twist was so obvious some posters believed it was double bluff and the show was intentionally misleading you into thinking he was a ghost. I was kinda on board with this, but no the show is just obvious and dumb. This was the last season I watched because I just had enough. Not even the end of season cliffhanger could keep me watching.

I remember the first half of S7 was watchable because something youve been waiting to happen happens and there's Ray Stevenson and a minataur but its all downhill from the second half and accelerates hard downhill in 8.

I was reading through Der Shovel's recaps last night and it's crazy how many repressed memories I have from this show. Like I watched the whole thing and shitposted through the worst of it with everyone else but couldn't tell you a thing that happened across pretty much the whole series outside of the real memorable bits (black SUV, cutting the salad, and his kid eating poo poo on the treadmill). Like I even struggle to think of anything specific that Trinity did that was worthy of praise outside of that I think it was thanksgiving scene. I smoke a lot of weed and my memory sucks for sure but it's crazy just how much seeing even that gif of Dexter at the HS reunion makes me think "Oh yeah, that happened!" Those seasons in particular after S4 were definitely memory-holed.

Well, Clancy Brown has been cast as the villain. I'm potentially legitimately excited. Also there have been a few reports on MCH mentioning how much he didn't like the ending, but as with most people who only mention the ending and nothing else, holy poo poo, seasons 5-8 were terrible, each worse than the preceding one.  How do you have a season like the Trinity killer and then almost all characters just lose their motivation afterwards?When people like Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould mention that their writers really let the characters drive the story they're not kidding. In Dexter's case, it was Showtime's wallet that motivated that show to keep limping along. Otherwise, they'd have ended it with 5, maybe 6 seasons, and it'd be better remembered.

quote:Brown joins a long line of memorable actors who plays villains opposite Dexter, too, including Jimmy Smits, Colin Hanks, and Edward James Olmos. Fans will no doubt be excited to see what the Dexter team is cooking up for Brown's character to ensure the revival is as gripping as possible. Yea, the show wasted all of those actors too.

I suspect that Hall's sticking to the talking points. You don't advertise a revival by telling people that over half of it was poo poo. You tell them the ending was bad and that you're very sorry and that next time it'll be better.

Sorry, I should've clarified; I never expected anything different from him or anyone else involved with the show, but moreso literally anyone else who says "show was good until THAT ENDING!" Him talking about the ending just reminded me of waaaaay too many people I've heard over the years having zero issues with the show outside of the last 10 minutes. I kinda want Ryan George to do a pitch meeting teardown of each season.
