Nep-Nep posted:Remember that time Quinn killed the strip club guy and then shot himself in the arm so he could claim it was self-defense? And how there was no point to that. That was the end of the seasonlong plot with the Ukrainian mafia. The guy Quinn kills had managed to overthrow Ray Stevenson's character and become the mafia's top guy in Miami. And then Quinn kills him and I guess the Ukranian mob was just like "You know what? Forget Miami"

Old Doggy Bastard posted:I want Quinn to come back. ooo having Quinn come back as the law enforcement on Dexter's rear end for a season would be cool. There's a bit of an issue in that I think the real good motivation for him would be Deb just vanishing, but in the finale he seemed to completely accept that Deb was brain dead. But if they're just handwaving Deb's death away ... I don't think they will but there's a shot in the trailer where she's wearing completely un-Deb business clothing and doing her "spread all the photos around on the floor to take in the evidence all at once" thing. If they do like a Halloween: H20 where they're like "the finale didn't happen the way it was shown" and Deb's alive or something ...

Nep-Nep posted:She was revived by the hurricane magic! If you want to do this ridiculous thing I'm proposing, I think it's gotta be more along the lines of "Dexter's tortured psyche caused him to hallucinate some things." It would be insane, but if you just did it and then left it in the past you could proceed and wipe away Deb's death, which is I think the worst mistake of the Season 8. This does not explain why Not Ghost Deb would be OK with Harrison living in Argentina with Hannah, but whatever.

I'd be ok with an alternate reality Dexter. No explanation needed. Just ignore all the dumb stuff from the original series (so about 80% of it).

Rita died, so he went and became a lumberjack. A few years ago, he had a REALLY elaborate and super dumb dream about an alternate path he could have taken, where his young son suddenly becomes an adult while wiping out on a treadmill, LaGuerta becomes a bench, Quinn and Batista witness one of his most direct killings and don't care, and Deb goes braindead so he throws her into his storm mom. Makes perfect sense to me

I've been seeing that around but was hesitant to watch cause I thought it might be some nut job gushing about how great the show was throughout its entire run. Glad to hear I was wrong, I'll have to give it a listen.Rupert Buttermilk posted:He also does a 'how I would fix Dexter', and I'm bummed we didn't get THAT show. One of my favorite things about this show is how nearly every seriously proposed fan idea I've heard would have been much better than what we ended up with. And I'm not saying the fans had better killer ideas or anything like that; the final few antagonists and concepts were fine on paper, it's just they were poorly handled. Most of the fans who want to fix those last few years know how the show should have ended and where the focus should have been, and that was on the fallout of Dexter's actions and, usually, his secret eventually being exposed. It serves as a reminder that the last few seasons could have been a good send off, but weren't because the writers lost track of what the show was. Dexter was not supposed to be a superhero taking out the trash with zero lasting consequence to any of his actions, but by god that's what happened.

I still fondly think back to the scene from season 2 where Dexter fantasizes about being Murder Batman, with the latex costume and adoring crowds and everything, only to eventually conclude "no, that's insanely stupid, it won't happen." Then it happens. Not as some kind of ironic statement, but slowly and sincerely as the show disappears up its own rear end. There's nothing quite like it.

Glad to hear I was wrong, I'll have to give it a listen. You really should watch it. It's essentially what all of us in the Dexter threads have always felt but it's cathartic to know that other people, aside from SA goons, are going to watch it and see/hear just how monumentally lovely (with some good moments) Dexter was, instead of somehow looking back on it fondly. I really hope he does SoA. THAT show gets WAY more love than it ever deserved. "Oop! Another double cross, out by the same barn!"

Already working on it good buddy. I actually accidentally started from the moment he freaks out about Ghost Dad due to not realizing that was where the link posted started, and decided to just go from there and worked backwards a bit. His thoughts on how the writing team made Dexter into a superhero were especially resonant. Nice to know we're not the only sane ones. Man, I don't do videos but I've been tempted to do something like this for YEARS with SOA. You know how much poo poo I've had to say about that over the years. Remember Ghost Pilot's recaps? I'd love to see that replicated, but in video form, for a wider audience because as you said, it's something that needs to have its bullshit pointed out, because SOA is basically FX's Dexter, in terms of starting off good and going to poo poo real quick but still somehow being so beloved. Course I'm sure Sutter would do whatever he could to get it taken down... and if that failed, probably remind everyone what a guttermouth piece of poo poo he is with a couple of trash talking tweets that are more disgusting than funny. As a side note, did you ever get to watch the Mayans? I've only seen the first two seasons but it was surprisingly good. Not great, but good, and maybe it will become great since Sutter was fired for being a giant sack of garbage to people on set.

He talks about a podcast with all the writers and MCH, and they said the dumbest thing anyone ever proposed was Season 8 "Harry faked his death and comes back to antagonize Dexter." While yes, that would have been very very dumb; it would have been a million times better than anything that happened in the last 3 seasons.
