Rupert Buttermilk posted:Edit: also, there is ZERO indication that this season will be worth a drat. Go back and watch the trailers for the last 4 seasons. They were great! This was pretty much my thought after finishing the trailer. I mean yeah it looks cool but dollars to donuts at least half of these exciting, adrenaline filled scenes will have been taken entirely out of context. This show isn't the only one that's ever done that but it practically made it an art. Remember a last season one where the trailer made it seem like Dexter was coming across his son's bloody body, and the trailer fully played that up... and then it turned out he was just covered in Popsicle juice and was laying on the floor because he was sick from eating too many. Seeing this trailer has me more excited for how great the thread will be, because my guess is they're gonna be waaay out of their element and we're gonna get some good laughs. Put it to you this way, trailers for two serial killer shows I plan to watch came out yesterday, this and Chucky. I'm more genuinely excited about Chucky. By no means am I saying it will be high quality writing, it won't, but to me it looks like they're sticking to what they know and that it will be entertaining in the right way. Also I'm now 90% convinced Dexter has quit killing since the series ended and we'll get like, 2-3 episodes of him struggling with the urge to kill some irredeemable rear end in a top hat of a character. Or he'll off someone by the end of the first episode and it'll be a very cheesy reference to the old one. Either way I feel like they're going full soft reboot which makes me think they're trying to jump start another run rather than give an actual decent ending. Or option C (and this is a call back to the good old days right here), asciidic posted:It'd be great if they did this with never bringing up his past and Dexter not killing anymore, but kept making the previews to look like he might kill someone next episode, until the finale when you know he's going to kill the Big Bad (Paul Bunyan) but instead he just insults the guy with a sick burn and high-fives someone.

I wonder what Scott Buck is up to these days lol His writing credits end abruptly on those same 3 shows too. If you're wondering how many chances you get in Hollywood, it's apparently 3.

One trailer did show the...I'm just realizing I dont think I've ever had to write...saran?? wrapped guy on the couch in the reflection. But maybe you're right and he wont be killing full time. I mean it looks like a pretty dull town where missing peoples wouldn't go unnoticed like in flawda

Deb got shot, got better, and then had a fatal stroke. Then Dexter sacrificed her dead body to a hurricane, faked his own death and hosed off to be a lumberjack while abandoning his son into the care of a fellow murderer.

The quote is "And he went there to lumberjack - working with lumber - but he's constantly surrounded by the sounds of chainsaws, which is very meaningful to Dexter because that's how his mother was killed"

Iron Fist was just astonishing for how bad it was. Just every single thing in it except Carrie-Anne Moss. But even her performance didn't make it worth watching. It was worse than just bad - it was stupid, too.

Remember when Dexter killed Oliver while in police custody WHILE BEING RECORDED and then they review the footage with Dexter and go wow buddy that was close good thing you stabbed him in the neck with a PEN nothing to be concerned about there and they let Dexter go.

Climatic bad guy deaths are almost always dumb (why the gently caress did darth maul just let obi wan jump up and then cut him in half?) but I really hate the pen stab, the whole thing. Almost more than anything else about that episode/season

And to be fair that almost half works if you go with the premise that Quinn 100% knows Dexter is a serial killer and is cool with it after years of nothing happening.

Simone Magus posted:Iron Fist made me think "this would have worked if, and only if, they had cast Chris Pratt" It's always gonna be baffling to me that Hollywood saw Chris Pratt as Andy Dwyer, decided they needed him in their movies, but had him transform into generic Hollywood douchebag first. loving imagine if StarLord was literally just Andy bumbling his way around the Galaxy. Andy Dwyer pulling out karate moves to intimidate velociraptors.
