I didn't notice Harry the first time, and only glanced at the Sam Jackson title and didn't realize the addition to KS. Good work.

The first one is legit good, in a pulpy way. Can't imagine re-watching any other season (let alone the final few). codo27 posted:I didn't notice Harry the first time, and only glanced at the Sam Jackson title and didn't realize the addition to KS.

second season is the best one, just the right amount of pulp (television show the sopranos), until the massive plot contrivance that kills doakes and gets dexter off the hook so season one wins by default

Well that certainly was an episode of Dexter. Was the photo of Dexter & Harrison placed by Harrison , or was Harrison seconds away from finding it when "Jim" interrupted him with the axe? If the latter then why in the gently caress would you keep something like that Dexter, and why would you leave it in an easily accessible drawer of your main living space?!

Update title to "So Dexter is back (for New Blood): YOU SHOT MY DEER!"Gelf posted:Well that certainly was an episode of Dexter. I think it's the latter. The answer is because Dexter is a dumbass. Also, Regardless, it's been 10 years, and he's dating the chief of police in that town. How in the world hasn't he come across another douchebag before Matt? Is this seriously about a deer? Vastarien posted:I'm glad this stupid show is back. Another classic for the collection Edit: Also, how in the world did Harrison track him down? Did he accidently pose for a selfie and tag it with #Dexter #Miami? Also also, he didn't even make sure Matt had no one with him in the area.

E: whoops, I think this is the first post to post live impressions unspoilered. I've spoilered them, and also beware of the thread from here on if you haven't seen the first ep. Episode highlights: -Dexter learning all the Dark poo poo from a dude doing coke while listening to the sound of his next victim railing coke dude's girlfriend. -The actual kill scene. Someone posted upthread that the highlight of Dexter was in the very first episode where he's screaming "LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" at the diddlin priest, and it feels like someone on the writing staff actually noticed that Dexter being unhinged is important. I mean the show's not gonna be good, and I can't wait for Dexter to allow a teenager to move into his cabin while serial killing the rear end in a top hat of the week in the shed right outside, and avoid getting caught in a series of escalating unbelievable close shaves. So theories for the rest of the season? I'm gonna guess the disappearing girls will culminate in someone finding the body of the girl from the bar, and the police force will have to mobilize to catch the "transient killer" who's going to turn out to be... I'm betting Dexter's gun shop boss. Zulily Zoetrope fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Nov 8, 2021 |

That was disappointingly boring. They cleaned up a lot of the excesses of later Dexter but didn't put in much new interesting stuff. I can't believe they went without VO for 40 whole minutes! Such self-restraint. And Ghost Deb isn't hanging around to hold exhaustive conversations like Ghost Dad did either. The only interesting part was when it got super cheesy and Ghost Deb pulled a full bullet (jacket and all!) out of her.

The lake next to your cabin is the worst loving hiding spot for a body Dexter jesus loving christ what would Ghost Dad say?

Honestly I thought that the transition to the kill, showing how out of practice he is, and the return to unhinged murderer Dexter was all highly effective. I still dare not hope there be actual consequences but overall this episode had good parts to it.

Dexter is going to agonize over Harrison maybe being the one killing all the women, but it turns out Harrison is just a normal kid that has no interest in killing whatsoever, which will confuse Dexter. Shenanigans will ensue and it will all end with Harrison having to kill Dexter to put him out of his misery. Edit: Also while Dexter's boss is an interesting choice, it's probably just the local rich rear end in a top hat. George H.W. oval office posted:Did they mirror the original opening somehow? Only in the sense that Dexter has a routine we see on screen involving some snow cardio and eating slices of meat early in the morning. No juice. Unless you mean the "tonight's the night" bit.

five minutes in and the cinematography looks a lot nicer than the last three seasons of dexter, but it’s pretty bland it’s almost like someone watched fargo and thought “yes, this is what prestige tv is. snow.”

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Just thinking about Dexter makes me think of better shows, specifically The Shield. I wish there was a rewatch thread or even just some megathread about it still. There was one but I think it's archived now. ...have you done a rewatch recently? I loved it as it was airing, but when I did a rewatch a couple years ago, for every great scene there was another that made me cringe really hard. It was around the time "prestige TV" was just taking off, and there's a lot of stuff from that era that just didn't age well. Plus after BLM and George Floyd, it's gonna hit a little different watching a show about a dirty cop beating up suspects.

The way I kind of rationalize it, if I even can, is that it really doesn't do the police any favours, with regards to representation, and if anything, shows how much a piece of poo poo like Derek Chauvin would fit into the barn. It's still compelling tv in and of itself, but yeah, almost everyone sucks in it. Save for MAYBE Claudette and Dutch. Sure, maybe from episode to episode, it'll celebrate the strike team, but taking the show as a whole, the strike team and Vic specially, does nothing but ruin everything around them/him. It shows first hand how corruption doesn't pay.

I’ve said it before but the shield has the problem. That outside the first episode it tends to focus on the strike team being bad people, but actually pretty good cops. So a lot of the time, the show is just your standard police procedural, with some theft thrown in, or covering up said theft

Good cops, in that they want to stop civilians from committing murder or gang violence. They're a-ok letting drugs happen on their streets, and even ok with murder on their terms (Armenian Money Train, Margos, probably a hundred other victims). They close cases. That's the most positive thing I can say about the strike team.

They stop the really bad guys and genuinely want to stop crime (outside Shane the bad one) like Vic is mostly treated as an honest guy trying to see the big picture that wants to provide for his family. The Shield has a great pilot and a great finale, but the middle is questionable

Fair enough for most of it, but I look at Vic the same way I look at Walter White; horrible things done for maybe a good reason, or at least that's what they tell themselves. Vic did an unquestionably good thing in helping out Connie, and NOT caring about Julian being gay, but other than that, he's kind of awful. Ah, look at all this discussion that can come from a show that Kurt Sutter was involved in. A rare thing!

Like others said, a pretty boring first episode. But at least it wasn't outright terrible so  Ghost Harry is way better than ghost Deb. That could definitely change though if she starts to swear a lot more. Cojawfee posted:It was an interesting first episode. But I want more head people.

All the head ghosts gather around ghost Harry - "Actually, Dexter, your dark passenger has always been Harry. It's all Harry's fault." "You're blaming this on bad parenting?" "No, you are. We're you." Ghost Harry is suddenly black lake ninja guy and is killing all the other ghosts. He looks directly into the camera/Dexter and swallows him whole. The end. Edit: After credits scene is trashbag ninja driving out of town. Dexter is in the passenger seat. itry fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Nov 7, 2021 |
