Paid Members lambyUK Posted August 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 17, 2012 Good god, I was initially resisting temptation to watch that but I'm so pleased I did. This is going to be epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Wow. This seems to be back on track. I got a shiver down my spine watching that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CuckedByMenry Posted August 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 17, 2012 Boy oh boy, I can't wait to see what LaGuerta and Batista get up to next season! They really are dull as dishwater in the same room, aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Seven Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 No, it doesn't. Does nobody remember the excellent trailer for season six? And it turned out to be worse than AIDS. This show has fallen off a cliff harder than anything since Lost. An entire season of Deb wrestling with her conscience whilst Dexter tries to keep his bloodlust in check against his colleagues? Fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck off. Â No these are the guys who were praising season 6 as well. A quick scan back through the last couple of pages shows plenty of defending season 6 (well not exactly defending it - just proclaiming it great TV with an "amazing" performances from Colin Hanks) Â One of the problems Dexter as a show has had is probably it got too popular (and I know how that sounds, trying to be Mr Alternative or something). It should've had a clear end to build to before the showrunner got bored and left. Instead it became this ratings hit so the network kept commissioning new seasons. This popularity has seemed to push the show to a more acceptable place by just making Dexter "the hero". Instead of interesting discussions of morality and justice it becomes Dexter vs. Bad Guys. Bad Guys who have to be increasingly over the top to keep Dexter in full on hero mode what with him still being a serial killer. You'll notice they've softened parts of his character to make him a more acceptable hero (his relationships with women were initially complex and allowed the show to examine parts of his character, in season 6 he's getting a blowjob whilst tracking his next victim - badass!) With the religious stuff it initially seemed an interesting idea for a season but they dropped the admittedly somewhat interesting Mos Def storyline half way through in favour of Colin Hanks sewing bits of people to horses and stuff - cos it looks so cool! What a visual! Classic television! Â Dexter is the show for people who finding Breaking Bad "too slow" and get annoyed at why Walter White doesn't just ditch the annoying family and just be heisenberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted August 20, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 There's clips in that trailer that I'm pretty sure are dream sequences. The bit where he injects Masuka in the middle of the police station for example. Â It's a good trailer but I'll wait and see how it turns out before I jizz all over everything. Dexter has always been a mix of great and shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsClobberingTime Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I like to think that now it's coming towards the end, it'll get better. Â But then I thought that about Lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall the series had some highs and some incredibly shitty lows. Â Also Seven, you said you were done with this show earlier in the thread and couldn't even bring yourself to watch the end of season 6. Fair enough and each to their own of course, but from now I hope we've seen the last of you in this thread? Obviously if you do manage to bring yourself to watch it then once again, fair enough.

Paid Members CuckedByMenry Posted September 30, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 30, 2012 Â Last year I didn't watch any episodes until the season was two weeks away from finishing, thus mostly avoiding the "Can't wait until next week" feeling. I'd like to do the same this year, but I'll only be kidding myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
