That more or less perfectly sums up Season 7.

"Better than John Lithgow?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

"No."

This is remarkable and accurate and a more entertaining experience than watching season 7.

"Was I better than John Lithgow?"
"Yes."
"Really?"
"No, no not really."

Goddamn, that Hannah puppet's vacant stare and delivery is so spot on.

:can:, I know, but I really, really dislike her as an actress and a character. Julia Stiles was honestly way better.

That was well worth the watch -and better than the entire 7th season. But I couldn't help to view the sausages as a mix between the Kerbal space program and Despicable Me's minions.

Also, why did the Batista have goat eyes?

I dislike Hannah because every time the season angled back on her it dipped in quality. (Episode 6 that ended in table-sex. Episode 9-10 transition away from Isaak :cry:)

I find Yvonne Strahovski pretty inoffensive except for the weird adoration of her fans. I actually thought she was good in the final episode when she got to go full creeper.

Honestly, all of Dexter's love interests besides Rita have been pretty boring, one-dimensional characters.

Game we like to play when watching Dexter. find Deb's "Fucks" per scene rating. How many time does she say gently caress per episode, divided by the number of scenes she is in.

Yeah, that's what really soured me on the season. I very much enjoyed the unceremonious murder of Louis, but Ray Stevenson? Really? Right after they became murder buddies, too.

Though I did like the way he insisted on being buried at sea at the exact spot where his lover was buried, even if it might've been a little corny. It made me :3:

In retrospect the murder of Louis was the coolest thing to happen last season

Yeah, the first few episodes were really good, and one of the reasons was Louis getting fired, humiliated and killed off so quickly and unceremoniously.

Also, what happened with the hand that he mailed to Dexter? I have forgotten so much. But this is a show I simply refuse to re-watch.

I think he was trying be all crazy and show Dexter he was a bad guy, then got murdered by Ivan and Ivan didn't even care.

He was letting the fuel run out of Dexter's boat when Ivan got there and murdered him because he thought Louis was Dexter lmao

With the hand I still don't know where that was going.

Louis explained that he just sent Dexter the hand to scare him. He didn't know Dexter's connection to the hand and that just happened to be a hell of a coincidence. Or, at least that was what resulted since the previous season's writers were just phoning that in and they just decided to hell with that.

I'm excited for this season to start but I think I'm here for the animated gifs and parodies more than anything else. That puppet video was spot on.

"The name of this show is still Dexter, right? They didn't change the name to Maria?" and the lines following were my favorite part.

He was there with a powertool, openly talking to himself about how much Dexter would like a hole in his boat.

Oh absolutely. In fact, you should watch all of Justified. What have you been doing that you've got time to watch Dexter but you've never watched Justified? :colbert:


Also, it's actually a very memorable and awesome performance.


But, seriously, watch Justified.

He wears a fedora and full leather trench coat, that's reason enough to watch it. And his "showdown" with Timothy Olyphant is one of my favorite television moments.

It got leaked by showtime, all of deb's swears and the nudity are censored with a hilarious "see what you're missing. order showtime NOW!" watermark

About the episode, I actually really liked it. Love the new Deb and the ending was like whoa (even if I kinda suspected that lady knew something, didnt expect she knew THAT much)

But about the "you cant kill me, I dont fit harry's code" part, I've got some bad news for you lady

edit: I just thought up a theory: old lady killed that dude so she could have a reason to come in and gently caress with Dexter

The "leak" is probably on your Showtime on Demand. Even if you don't have Showtime on Demand, it's possible they put it up for you to see it. They did this with other shows: Homeland, The Big C, etc. You didn't even have to have Showtime or Showtime on Demand-- it was up in the free previews section to try and get you to purchase Showtime.

That being said, I'm not interested enough in this show to seek out a truncated version of it 2 hours before it airs.
