boom boom boom posted:He's fleeing the loving country with a serial killer who's being hunted by the US Marshals! The fact that he didn't take Hannah and Harrison to loving Cuba the day he got her away from that rich guy is the part that doesn't make sense! Exactly! Hell, they could have even just taken his boat up towards Daytona or even around to Tampa and then gone to a different airport than the Miami one the Marshals are watching. Also, I guess that nobody at Miami Metro or his family is interested in Zack Hamilton anymore?

It'd be pretty funny when Sunday night comes around and everyone is like OMG THAT WAS AN AMAZING ENDING! But we know that won't happen.

I have Breaking Bad on iTunes Season Pass so my only option for Sunday night is Dexter  (It'll actually be Sunday night football with dexter during breaks).

The show should end with ghost dad hitchhiking. A car stops and picks him up. He opens the door and gets in. The driver is the fisherman. He drives into a lake. Nobody rescues him.

Slamhound posted:I totally forgot about that! I've been so focused on who's going to buy his apartment since it turned out the one who made the offer was actually Saxon! Hey, another plot hole! Can't have enough of them (says Scott Buck) As for the longest running TV-drama thing: Most TV show runners got enough common sense to terminate a show before it gets to the levels of Dexter. Unfortunately TV executives seem to lack the very same sense, as seen with Dexter right now, altough this show got a lovely show runner sticking to it as well in order to maximize the agony.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:I hope they announce 4 seasons of prequel soon. Not actually a terrible idea. The only way we could have any more good Dexter is if we do it before any of this ridiculous stuff happened. It would Just be Dexter killing people who fit the code and being socially awkward and some banter with Doakes. Hell, you could keep the show going after it catches up by setting it in-between Dexter seasons. That missing time is where Dexter did stuff that made sense, and then just end those seasons with, "And then my paint huffing addiction kicked in again for a few months..."

In other words, they don't hit reset every time something major happens.

No spoilers, please, but what do people find so amazing about it? Keep watching. It took me a few tries to get past S1, but (in stark contrast to Dexter) each season is better than the one before. To even say why would spoil some of the discovery of what the show is really about.

Keep on watching and you'll see how every character developes, altough slowly and over time. Season 1 was interesting and Season 2 developed the concepts of the first one nicely. The show really got interesting during the 3rd and since them I'm hooked. The characters on Breaking Bad aren't just some black/white stereotypes and you'll love them during one episode and despise them during the next one.

On one hand I could watch Dexter live, get it out of the way, and then be able to fast forward through commercials on Breaking Bad. On the other hand I'd gladly watch an episode of Breaking Bad where the ratio of show to commercials was switched instead of watching Dexter, and at this point the episode of Breaking Bad could be a re-run.

Alternate version: Pointless story, meaningless dialogue, boring filler, plot hole, plot hole, newly introduced character killed without drawing any audience reaction. Ryan Gosling? Nope, just a knock off version. Masuka is a good dad, plot hole, drugs are bad, Argentina, bad dialogue, Argentina, multiple more disposable characters die, plot hole, sub-mad libs quality writing, A Storm Is Coming that is named after Dexter's dead biological mother. The gratification from the ending will be knowing that there will be no more episodes to watch. The hurting will stop one way or another and whatever they decide to do has a high chance of being so incredibly stupid that it will be unintentionally hilarious.

I think the season was written one episode at a time with only a vague idea of how it was going to end, the scripts were written in stream of consciousness and they just went with the first draft. I can picture someone pitching this approach as raw and edgy. It's the only thing that makes sense to me.

If I was allowed to write dialogue for one character on this show I'd pick Matthews, just because of the voice of the delivery of the actor. "gently caress this dumb poo poo, let's get some broads up in here. Batista you know that bimbo from Vice, right? Detective Vagina? Whatever her name is. See if she can rustle us up some hussies from the street. I don't care what two-bit pimp you need to kneecap to make it happen, little Tom needs to take a trip to Tuna town." "Now somebody make me a goddamn mos-ki-to." GreenNight posted:Ahahahah Makes sense why Jennifer Carpenter lobbied as hard as possible to get Debra killed. Let's see if her wish comes true!
