CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUPx3iDChP4 he faked his death iirc, so presumably he’s living under a false identity it’s not clear if that half-cooked plot about all of the bay harbor butcher evidence being tossed up by a hurricane would ever tie back to dexter or anything like that (i think that was a plot point? i don’t even remember anymore) it seems like they’re going for a very strong fargo/lorne malvo vibe, which, uh, i guess is better?

So, with all these promos, I'm under the strong impression Dexter isn't a killer anymore, and will get back to it as the show goes on. Why do I get the feeling that his return to killing will be marked with Ghost-Deb saying "Surprise motherfucker!" Honestly, if there's really a possibility the show will be coming back past this one season, I kinda hope they do a soft reboot. Make it clear this is the same Dexter Morgan and that all of that stuff did happen, but don't even address it aside from the occasional wink to the audience when necessary. The last few years of the first run were so bad they ruined the rest of the show, and it's past the point of being salvageable. Just start all the way over. Yeah, it's lazy, but the further it gets away from that steaming garbage of a wrap up, the better.

In the first promo with him looking out the window you can see a tied up guy in the reflection.

Annabel Pee posted:In the first promo with him looking out the window you can see a tied up guy in the reflection. Yeah, when I first saw that I was under the assumption he'd have been killing all along. But then there's the one where he says "It's so good to get back to nature... My nature" and the most recent one where he's looking longingly at the knives. So, watching that first one again, he's looking out the window with a somber expression, then he turns to the victim and is smiling again. Like he's bummed/bored/whatever with his new life, and happy to be turning back to his old ways. And I've officially spent more time thinking about this than the creative team spent thinking about anything in the last few seasons, because there's more to think about in three minutes of promos than there were in those thirty six episodes.

I'm doing a very casual first re-watch of this trainwreck so I can appreciate the all-new trainwreck approaching us. The show catching up with the memes is perhaps the best part, as it makes some scenes into great comedy set pieces *questioning a suspect* "OK OK I'll talk, I'll tell you what you want to know" "You know where Freebo is?" "Even better .. C H I C K Y H I N E S"

It's either going to be a train wreck, in which case we have this hatewatch thread to make the experience enjoyable, or it'll actually be good. The show wasn't really all that good past the second season, but it was carried by some pretty great performances and the occasional piece of good writing until around the sixth season. Season 4 is the best example of this. The moments with Trinity were great, thanks in large part to Lithgow's incredible performance, but everything else was a big pile of "meh" at best. The original showrunner is coming back and the main antagonist is being played by the always great Clancy Brown, so this season has the potential to be on par with 4, at least. Think I read recently there's a potential for the show to come back for more than one season. I dunno if that was legit, but if it does, I sincerely hope they handle whatever supporting cast they have better than the last one. I think the hardest thing to ignore in retrospect was how flat the secondary characters were, and how little development they received over the course of 90+ episodes. Except Quair. Quair was always evolving.

If they ever do flashback to Dexters life in the Miami PD instead of showing original footage they should refilm the scenes with the actors at their current ages all wearing wigs.

I think Clyde Phillips wanted once to have the show end with Dexter on death row. I wonder if he changed his mind. I don't think it could work anymore with what the show turned into. Khablam posted:

For some reason I watched the entire run of the show (recently) without reading up on anything about it online. Can't wait to watch the next stuff as part of the peanut gallery.

Quair = Quinn's hair which was at times I think so distracting and vastly different between seasons that, at least on here, in the Dexter threads, it became a character of its own. I would love to see the first mention of it, but I have no idea where that'd be.

quinn changed as often as quair, but it was idiosyncratic enough as to put him in uncanny valley territory between seasons desmond harrington would shrink or balloon up on a trajectory very reminiscent of matthew perry on friends, while independently quair would align very closely with the fluctuating "miami cokehead" hairstyle trends of the day

Definitively proving Desmond Harrington's coke addiction was the great unsolved mystery of the show.

In general... Quinn: "Yo, I'm filling in for Doakes, character wise. Because of this, I'm automatically suspicious of Dexter. What's his deal?" Literally anyone else: "No, Dexter's ok. He's fine." Quinn: "Oh, ok." Meanwhile.... Quair:

Quinn's 5minute relationship with Deb that he mourns for a full season was peak "we have no idea what to do with this character".

The absolute, hands-down, 100% missed opportunity that literally everyone in these threads was on board with, was that Quinn totally knew Dexter was a serial killer and just assumed everyone else also knew so he was just going along with it.
