Re: [TV] Dexter
Sort of a riff on how ridiculous the last season was. On a hopeful note apparently it'll be the original showrunner before it went off the rails. That might help. Maybe everything after a certain point was a dream.

Re: [TV] Dexter
While not nearly as bad the Star Wars prequels, we still don't talk about the final episodes.

Re: [TV] Dexter
The final episode was 99% bad. But the final moment, realizing that Dexter had stripped away his humanity and was now hiding in the woods? Yeah, let me see some of that.

And every other race, creed, colour, tint or hue
Get down on their knees and pray
The raccoon and the groundhog neatly
Make up bags of change
But the monkey in the corner
Well he's slowly drifting out of range

Re: [TV] Dexter
Yeah, we watched all 8(?) seasons, and I was glad to see it end. They really did all they could with the character. I too would watch a revival, but I won't pay for it.coopasonic wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 4:59 pm I am sure someone demanded it.
I'll want to see it I am sure. I'm not sure how I'll do that as I am unlikely to sub to another service, but I will see it.

It will be nice to see if Dexter and I are still on the same page.

Re: [TV] Dexter
It seems like a waste if they don't retcon the ending. Ideally, the first new episode would start with Dexter waking up from a dream a day after the end of Season 4.
(While I am not kidding about that being the best case scenario - I of course don't believe they would do that. And of course MCH would look too old for that to be viable.)

Re: [TV] Dexter
Interest for watching the revival just increased significantly:
John Lithgow is returning to his old Dexter stomping ground.
The multiple Emmy-winning actor is set to make a short but decisive appearance in the Michael C. Hall-led revival coming from Showtime this fall. Awarded his fifth Emmy for the role as the revered but feared “Trinity Killer” in the fourth season of the killer series’ original run, Lithgow’s character was soundly bumped off by Dexter Morgan himself in season-finale episode “The Getaway” back in late 2009.
Which begs the question: How will Lithgow’s Arthur Mitchell will return?
Maybe next year, maybe no go

Re: [TV] Dexter
My guess is that the Trinity Killer will take on the role of Dexter's father as an imaginary mentor...or, given his history, the imaginary bad voice in Dexter's head trying to get him to go outside "the code".
He won. Period.

Re: [TV] Dexter
Can't wait. It looks like it's not going to be some cash in type sequel, it's looks and feel like a continuation of the last season with the same quality.

I never thought I'd hear someone hoping for the quality of the last season.

Agree completely. Pretty much every season after season 4 sucked with a few nice moments. The final season was weak and the final episode was horrible.

Re: [TV] Dexter
It's on showtime, so yes. I got the streaming service at 3.99 a month for 4 months deal and a 30 day free trial. That should cover me for it all.

Re: [TV] Dexter
Not clicking any spoilers as I am waiting for it to be more binge-able, but glad to hear you are enjoying it. I'd say I can't wait, but apparently I can. I need a reminder of what a proper psychopath looks like after watching another season of You.

Re: [TV] Dexter
Still not reading because spoilers, but 5 or 6 episodes in and this is pretty close to perfect for me. I was a little shaky in the first couple episodes, but it has totally come together for me.coopasonic wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 3:55 pm Not clicking any spoilers as I am waiting for it to be more binge-able, but glad to hear you are enjoying it.

Re: [TV] Dexter
It falters a bit here and there, but overall I thought it was a great way to resolve the crappiness of the series finale all those years ago.

Dexter Prequel and Dexter: New Blood Season 2 in development...

Article has some spoilers if you haven't seen New Blood, so go see New Blood.
First up, there’s been a straight-to-series order for a prequel show, Dexter: Origins. Set in Dexter’s hometown, Miami, the series will follow the beginnings of Morgan’s murderous path after joining the Miami Metro while touching on the stories of real life killers from the time. The show promises to give fans a chance to meet younger versions of characters from the original series; the prospect of seeing a teenage Deb and an altogether more alive Harry is a tantalising one indeed.
...
While Origins is primarily aiming to foster a new generation of fans for the franchise, Showtime also confirmed that they are developing a continuation of New Blood...
