The intro will be the same but he'll be shaving with a straight razor, eating venison, and drinking... I don't know, what do flannel wearing pretend lumberjacks drink?

I forgot about Quinn and Batista getting blazed in the middle of a workday

Edit: Quinn spiraling out over Debra is one of the few good things about Season 6. Every scene where he's high or drunk and being a complete rear end is hilarious.

So, spoiling Harrison appearing is really loving dumb, but what do you wanna bet it's just gonna be a brief dream sequence where Dexter imagines what life could have been like. They did something like that once in season 7, I think. Wouldn't surprise me if they did it again.

Also, now that its been confirmed Ghost Deb will probably be a regular thing, I'm gonna bet there will be tons of "clever" winks to the audience and references to the old run. I mean we've always known there will be, but now I'm betting they'll go way overboard with it like they did in season 8. So I'm guessing Ghost Trinity's episode will see Dexter going to, I dunno, Wyoming to kill some character from the old show with Ghost Trinity in tow, but then he realizes some kind of lesson he'll forget by the next episode and doesn't kill them, and on the way back to Iron Lake he picks Ghost Deb back up. Seems like a dumb enough thing for them to do.

Ironic name for a show that did that so often.

I watched a LOT of The Young and the Restless with my grandmother growing up.

Remember how bad SOA was at keeping the timeline straight (among many, many other things)? In particular, Abel aging three years over the course of season 5-7, which was supposed to be a time span of 6 or 7 months at most. Not even just in the actor's appearance; Jax and others mention several times that Abel is 5 years old by the end. I liked to have the head canon that Jax forgot Abel's age because he's such a poo poo father and everyone just went along with the number he threw out under the assumption he'd know best. I miss hate watching that show :(

They used to do this all the time. In Season 3 when they gave up on flashbacks, they started having Ghost Dad appearances, but he'd only show up in Dexter's daydreams.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the Ghost Dad dream sequences started, wasn't he accompanied by Dexter's mother several times? I had forgotten all about that til just now. And wasn't there one where his dream son killed dream Astor or something dumb like that?

Christ, this is gonna be gloriously awful and I can't wait.

There's gonna be a Ghost Trinity, then the big surprise will be that Trinity's son is dead and now also a ghost and Ghost Trinity is actually appearing to Ghost Trinity's Son or something.

Until I got to this one in my rewatch, I forgot that this was another instance where divine intervention seems to have saved Dexter’s rear end. There was a double murder in the room where this was painted, and none of the cops saw his face in it because they waited to go in the room until Dexter got there and said it was ok, giving him time to destroy it. As far as I can tell, this is not a procedure they followed at any other crime scene over the course of the series.

I heard someone on a podcast today (Justin McElroy from MBMBAM for those who are curious) mention off-handedly that this revival will be airing on CBS. That poo poo true?? I refuse to do research

EDIT: I felt bad making such a lovely post and did in fact research it, seems like it'll be on Showtime. Imagining how much more it would suck on CBS is amusing though

Came across my new favorite bit of Dexter narration today in season eight, while he’s investigating a killer who apparently works for the cable company:

“He’s a bundler. Cable. Phone. Internet. But I need to know if murder is part of the package.”

What gets me is that it was the therapist’s idea. I could buy the idea that Deb is messed up and in a weird enough emotional place to think she’s in love with her brother. But the fact that her therapist came up with it, and didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with it, is some wild poo poo.

I read through this entire thread yesterday and enjoyed all the nostalgic feelings of following this show. I totally forgot about the bench dedication and got to laugh at that.

The sentiment that this show needs to be either surprisingly good or really bad is one I agree with. I look forward to following this thread when this releases.

Whoever wrote it was shifting the agency from Deb (themselves) to somebody else so they can absolve themselves while masturbating over incest.
