Reminiscing with this thread over the last 6 pages almost made watching the final season of Dexter worth it. Such a lovely, lovely show. But the TV/IV thread was gold.

Senor Tron posted:If I recall didn't they even have multiple episodes where sunset/sunrise was absolutely wrong on the coast for being being on the East Coast? It's always fun spotting things like that. I remember an episode of Veronia Mars where a character went to "Australia" and was filmed sitting next to one of those little Baywatch lifesaver houses while the sun set in the ocean behind him. A very pretty shot to be sure, but we don't have those little houses and he was supposed to be on the east coast.

PostNouveau posted:I remember being mad when it was announced Scott Buck was doing Iron Fist. Not because I gave two fucks about Iron Fist, but because someone was giving Scott Buck work. 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.

nerox posted:But what if it comes back and its like the best written show ever in the history of television. Everyone who watches it talks about how it is the absolute best show to ever been on television, except the people who watched all the original Dexter. They are all angry because it has shattered their worldview. Everywhere they go people try to chat them up about the latest episode of Dexter and they just want to let our their frustration that the show is not supposed to be good. Eventually the original Dexter watchers start to crack and start having homicidal thoughts. Collectively, they decide they need to move away from society and decide a forest in the Pacific Northwest would give them the seclusion to not have these thoughts about Dexter, their dark passenger if you will. So all the original Dexter watchers, grow beards, and put on lumberjack clothes and start cutting down trees to build their new homes. Yes, I too remember the Heroes reboot. No, not that one. The other one. "Wow, they've had all this time to make plans and so much movie and TV superpower stuff has happened since then. This should be amazing!"

CharlestheHammer posted:The problem is these legacy shows love call backs The big question we're all asking is what are the Dexter remake's C3PO/R2D2 going to look like? I.e. poo poo that does not need to be there, but the creators are going to stuff them in anyway because they're bereft of actual creativity. I'm guessing an entire circus of head characters, while also fleshing the wink wink poo poo out with really stupid callbacks like buying the people he works with doughnuts every day. Probably at least half a dozen references to the classic opening scene with the bacon and flossing, etc. And there's definitely going to be someone who thinks he's a massive creep, but who no one else believes.

Zenithe posted:I like the new youtube feature that you can do chapters, so you can see the increasing length of time it takes to complain towards the later seasons. Chapters seem pretty pointless given the progess bar auto hides after a few seconds. I installed an addon to keep it visible at all times, but YouTube seems determined to kill the ability to do so for some reason.

PostNouveau posted:Much like Game of Thrones, reviewers of the day didn't catch on to the decline in quality until Season 8 even though it had been apparent for a long time. And now we have an infinite number of moronic youtube channels who live for this poo poo. "8 things you might have missed in the new Dexter premier!" 1) When he killed and cut up that guy, it was a callback to the original series where he would kill and cut up people 2) Other people can't actually see or hear Deb.

Did Astor and Cody just get poisoned by the serial killer he left them with? Or is Harrison using his own Dark Passenger to find his dad?

Diabolik900 posted:Astor and Cody were Rita’s kids, and the writers shipped them off to live with their grandparents almost immediately after she was killed, presumably so they wouldn’t have to bother writing around them. Now I remember. They were sent off to live with all the other TV children who weren't wanted. Like the little kid from Married With Children, or the sister who went up the stairs and vanished on Family Matters.

JaddaCaddra posted:So, apparently, yeah this is 100% legit. It was in some podcast one of the writers does, and it will indeed be revealed in this next episode. I'm not a serial killer on the run from the law, but even I know that if you're sending a letter you make sure to go somewhere far, far away from where you live so the postmark doesn't give you away. Unless, Dexter just put a return address on the back. Swear to god, if that's what he did I'm out.

Serves me right for giving the OG show too much credit. Of course it was stupider than that.

clown shoes posted:I think the worst thing that could come out of this show is it becomes a hit and Showtime runs it into the ground again and has a lovely ending many seasons later. This will ultimately lead to a third revival series in ten years. I'm predicting more of a Heroes Reborn scenario.

It only just occurred to me today - why did the girl locked in the murder room seem so comfortable and didn't question the sudden arrival of booze and nibbles? Also, how did she not notice the lack of windows or door handle?

Probably thought they were actually going to find his kid sooner. It's just when the search area got bigger and bigger that he got concerned. Would rather let his kid die than get caught. Which is probably going to be a theme this season as Dexter does the opposite.

It was Doakes who taught Harrison how to do the force choke on that kid. All part of his long term plans for revenge. His full name is Foster Doakes and that's why Harrison keeps saying he was in a Foster home.

Dexter's attempted kill on the dealer may be his dumbest since the time he killed that guy at the airport. Middle of the day, everyone in the bar saw his face, so incredibly public.

Clancy Brown is a large man. That tunnel in the cave was barely big enough for the cop to fit through. How was he supposed to have dragged a corpse - or multiple corpses - through that narrow space whose whole length was filled with debris?

Of course he is, because this is Dexter. But imagine if he had let Kurt lock the podcaster up and then went running to Angela? Literally all his problems solved and he's back to being the hero. But, well, Dexter. Open Source Idiom posted:The podcast is pastiche, not spoof, but oyherwise i agree with the people who are fine with it. Most things on the show are a bit unreal. The show's never been some sort of exacting realism simulator. It's pulp. Honestly, just going with "Marry gently caress Kill" would have been fine given how many murderers kill people they know, married or had sex with. EDIT: Just had a thought - maybe Kurt killing Iris was an accident. What if he shot her while hunting by accident? Found it a huge rush and has spent the last 20 years recreating that high. Then his son almost does the exact same thing with Dexter. Who knows, if his aim was a little bit off he might have found a kindred interest with his dad as a family of serial killers.

Yeah, I realised after I posted that Dexter doesn't know Kurt likes to keep them alive for a few days. For all he knew, there was a plastic wrapped kill room waiting for her.

Just have to say - that trucker who gave Harrison the note may be the most unique one-off character in the show's history. It was like he was channelling Edger from Men In Black.

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:I love the consistent show logic point that everyone is casually aware of the local public access crematorium. People keep harping on this, but yeah, local incinerators in remote locations are a thing. If you're somewhere that rubbish collection cannot feasibly take the garbage away, then burning it is the best way to reduce the volume. Small towns will just leave it accessible to anyone, most often, and everyone knows when it fires up. I only know of how they work in desert communities, but I suppose if you're somewhere it snows, they might be run full time and the excess heat used for all the poo poo people have to deal with in frozen hellscapes, like keeping pipes from freezing.  Also, Dexter would totally have been covered in a fine layer of ash from opening the incinerator up and tossing poo poo inside it. He probably also would have reeked to high heaven with that very specific "old fireplace" smell. Easy enough for him to transfer the ash and smell over to Kurt after their hug and a ride in his car.

Cojawfee posted:People are criticizing the "ketamine miami homicide" thing but I don't think it is all that unrealistic. People in general are loving stupid. If there were news reports of the BHB using etorphine, at some point someone is going to tell someone else "I heard the bay harbor butcher used some sort of drug, uh, ketamine I think" because they've heard of ketamine and couldn't remember the other one. Then enough people are going to be searching ketamine with BHB search terms that google eventually just gives you Bay Harbor Butcher if you search any combination of "ketamine", "miami", and some variaton of "murder". Given how google works, typing "ketamine Bay Harbor Butcher" would probably show the exact same results as searching for "drugs bay harbor butcher". Typing any other drug would probably have given the same, too. But I agree with the other goon who pointed out it would have made a lot more sense to use "puncture wounds in the neck" as the modifying term.
