10.01.12 | I kinda enjoyed it.
The storyline with Deb's pretty exciting, although they should've done it so much earlier than now. The way they introduced the new bad guys is so uninteresting (just like season 6,) and nobody gives a shit about Mike being murdered.. |
SIMBOLIC
10.01.12 | Sweet dex is back |

10.01.12 | dum show |
mikeg1992
10.01.12 | While the new episode really didn't move the story any more forward, the trailer for the rest of the season was fucking sweet. Really excited to see how this plays out. |
MeatSalad
10.01.12 | Season will suck just like the last 2 |
SiliconFields
10.01.12 | It was solid. Russian mob plotline was pretty meh so far, but the Dexter/Deb one is great. Didn't like how he's like "oh yeah my sister is suspicious of me, so I'll just go kill this Ukrainian guy for kicks". Oh and his babysitter's boyfriend is an interesting character, dunno if he'll have any real part in the season though. |
Acanthus
10.01.12 | Stopped watching after Season 1, the gf plans on picking it back up though.
On Season 4 of Fringe, that's enough for me at present. |
Yuli
10.01.12 | Silicon - yeah, the Russian mob thing seems really stupid. Hope they aren't planning on doing what they've done every single season in terms of one big villain; that gets old so quickly, and tbh I care way more about the interactions between Debra and Dexter. And it seems like Louis will have a bigger part in this season. I honestly have no idea where they're taking his character. Part of me dislikes him because his actor isn't great, but at the same time I'm intrigued. |

10.01.12 | Missed it :/ |
guitarnater
10.01.12 | I'm glad they're going with more of a story unfolding rather than just one big villain it seems for this season.
Always love a good Dexter kill scene though. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.01.12 | I really dug seasons 1, 2 and 4 but that was about it for Dexter. I don't really see how it can be compared to shows like Breaking Bad, The Wire, Battlestar or even American Horror Story. I mean it's entertaining and all, but I don't really see why it's always compared to the best shows ever.
That being said, if this season gets good reviews I'll start watching again. |
SgtPepper
10.01.12 | I'm about to watch it right now. Honestly, the last 2 seasons have been weak, but last season's finale really got me excited. Boardwalk Empire and Dexter are my two main shows right now, so I have high hopes for both. |
guitarnater
10.01.12 | Dexter got bumped down to #3 for me because of the last few seasons, I can't decide though if I like GoT or BB better |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.01.12 | I like Breaking Bad more than Game of Thrones...it just feels like watching an Academy Award winning film. Game of Thrones is incredible too, but I think the books are way better so it kind of ruins it for me a bit, even though that's not really fair. The Wire is better than both, though. |
SIMBOLIC
10.01.12 | I cant watch breaking bad. It's just so over the top
|
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | Homeland dosent get love on this site show is fucking amazing! |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | Yeah I couldn't even comprende that I threw up a little |
Atari
10.01.12 | it is pretty over the top especially the later seasons so I can see where SIMBOLIC is coming from. I love it however. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.01.12 | Yeah I couldn't even comprehend that I threw up a little [2] |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | The first two are realisitic tho Atari have you seen homeland? |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | Lucca have you seen homeland? Better than dexter that's fer sure |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.01.12 | The only time I ever thought it was over the top was with the twins in Season 3. I guess it is over the top compared to real life, but it follows the rules set in its own universe very strictly and respectfully with minor exceptions. |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | And I agree the cousins were dumb and over the top more than anything season 3 is my least favorite it didn't flow like the others to me |
Atari
10.01.12 | Nope I haven't seen it but I'll check it out if u say it's better than Dexter |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.01.12 | Haven't seen Homeland but I notice it won quite a bit of rewards recently. I plan on starting it right after I finish watching the first season of American Horror Story, which is awesome so far |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | Homeland is THE most addicitng show I've seen in a while it's so well written and the performances are just amazing 1st season id give it a solid 9.6
|
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | American Horror story is great I can't wait for second seasons I guess the creator Ryan Murphy wants to make the next twilight zone/tales from the crypt which makes sense it is the next generation after the two |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.01.12 | Holy shit, that's awesome- so many people have said pretty much the same thing about that show aha I'm so excited to start watching it...if I wasn't already in the middle of this season American Horror Story I'd just start it right now. |
Atari
10.01.12 | @andcas, if you think of all the different things that have happened to Walter and Jesse throughout the show it's pretty over the top (not saying it's not realistic). I think Dexter is more over the top though |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | Oh yeah but has anyone read the dexter novels? So much better than the show |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | Seriously Claire Danes is one of the top actresses right now she killed in homeland and I used to HATE HER |
Atari
10.01.12 | I'll check out homeland and I didn't even know there were Dexter books lol.
Anyone seen Justified? |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | Justified is the shit second season was amazing and yea dexter is based off novels sooooo different from the show like immediately haha |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.01.12 | Read the first Dexter book before ever watching the show, it was awesome...never followed up on any of the sequels though. |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | I read 2 of them |
Atari
10.01.12 | Agreed justified rocks can't wait for season 3 on DVD/blu ray |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | Any fx show is good Even nip tuck is great show hella fucking brutal |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.01.12 | Saw the pilot of Justified and loved it, but I never followed it up because I first saw it when Breaking Bad season 4 premiered and kind of got distracted.
Gotta finish American Horror Story and Homelands first...fuck. So many shows to watch. |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | If u want any suggestions ask me and that goes for you too Atari haha |
Atari
10.01.12 | Thanks is homeland out onDVD yet? |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | Yeah why don't you just download it? You can get excellent quality then again my tv is my monitor haha |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.01.12 | Aha, well what do you consider essential shows? The shows I watch: Breaking Bad, Battlestar Galactica, Arrested Development, Archer, Metalocalypse, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, a season or two of Dexter, some seasons of The Sopranos, The Twilight Zone (original), Six Feet Under, The Shield, Futurama, Tim and Eric Awesome Show...and Batman the Animated Series rules |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | @andcas really? Why so? |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.01.12 | Only saw the premiere of this season and I thought it was awesome. Still think the end of Season 2 was a stupid move in terms of show writing, though. But maybe that will change with time. |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | Sons of anarchy time a fucking million times a fucking billion lol best show on tv right now besides homeland it's essential and atari can back me up and Louie and curb your enthusiasm, firefly, idk I do have a all time favorite shows list if u wanna look at it |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | I thought it was a ballsy move to kill jimmy off but it was too ballsy lol
I think jimmys wife's death was enough its only the second season |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.01.12 | Never watched Sons of Anarchy...have to check that out. Firefly is amazing, though, I just forgot to mention that. Louie and Curb are really fun but I wouldn't put them in the same category as the other stuff I mentioned. |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | I would lol I loe those shows but yea sons of anarchy is sometimes more brutal than a HBO show lol it's fucking crazy and the writing is so good and Henry Rollins plays a neo nazi sold yet? Lol |
Atari
10.01.12 | Yeah sons of anarchy is great too |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | Tig is the shit lol |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | In season 3? |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | Oh okay yeah I mean nucky was getting sick of his shit but look at tony and Chris from sopranos those two were always at
each others throat so yeah it could've been paced better |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | I need to watch them again haha I don't know everyones names |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.01.12 | Eli's gotta go.
And so does Skylar. |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | Skylar from breaking bad? |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.01.12 | yeah |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | Yeah she does haha and lucca watch chuck also show is hilarious |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.01.12 | It's going to be so long before I finish all of these new shows
But okay, why not one more aha |
ViralOblivion
10.01.12 | I got sooo many more but I won't overwhelm you |
Timmons
10.01.12 | i'm powering through season 2 right now... so fucking tense. doakes just caught dexter red-handed |
SIMBOLIC
10.01.12 | season 2 slays. S7E01 of dex was pretty sweet actually. And sons of anarchy is awesome. Last episode was nuts |
Yuli
10.01.12 | I didn't have a problem with the twins in Breaking Bad. They weren't terribly realistic, but there's enough in that show that's perfectly believable to warrant a couple unrealistic scenes. I mean, the scene with Hank at the end of 'One Minute' was perfect. |
SgtPepper
10.01.12 | I really liked the episode. Though I agree about the bad guys, but that's because Deb finding out about the "real" Dexter is just so big that no matter what happens around it, its only going to get shadowed over it.
Also I really didnt get Dexter's insistance on killing the Ukrainian guy. I understood that killing "centers" him, but he could have easily gotten caught at the airport. But it was still pretty cool to watch. This season is shaping up to be better than the last 2. Also Dexter and Deb's dialogue in the opening scene was great. I love it when we get to see Dexter's sociopathic side. |
mikeg1992
10.01.12 | I'm just glad he's finally going to have a reason to kill LaGuerta. She's hung around for 7 seasons too long |
bach
10.01.12 | I enjoyed the episode. |
Yuli
10.02.12 | Good points, Hernan. I just get tired of the "mandatory bad guys" every season - if they were interesting then it wouldn't be a big deal to me. But Travis, for instance, was just pathetic. And that's a good point about Debra's part overshadowing anything else.
And Laguerta being killed? that would make my day. |
SgtPepper
10.02.12 | @Omaha
I agree with your point on the lastest antagonists. We havent really seen anyone who a real worthwhile villain since the Trinity Killer. And quite honestly I feel like adding other antagonist in this season is really a waste of time. The tension between Deb and Dexter at the moment is already captivating enough, and I feel like adding some extra bad guys will only be distracting.
An yeah, I dont like her. either, she's a real bitch.

Calc
10.02.12 | "Hey what'd you think of the new Power Rangers?"
"It's got nothing on Breaking Bad"
|
Yuli
10.02.12 | Well, just because we're tired of the villain formula doesn't mean we just want Dexter and Deb. If the producers are creative enough, surely they can think of a third option! |
SgtPepper
10.02.12 | I see what you guys mean, but I feel like the Ukrainian mafia is just going to be in the show just to be an addition to the Deb/Dexter situation. It's like season 5's Santa Muerte murderers- they had little to no purpose to the overall primary objective of the season and was just kind of their to be, as Omaha said, "mandatory bad guys".
I feel like that's what the Ukrainian mafia will be this season. And I just thought it would have been a good direction for the show to steer away from the whole "Dexter vs mandatory bad guy" objective and focus more on the what seems to be dying relationship between him and his sister. There's a lot that could be done here.
|
SgtPepper
10.02.12 | The Deb/Dexter relationship kind of reflects the Hank/Walter situation of Breaking Bad. Both Dexter and Walter live secret lives
that are just under the noses of the one person that can truly bring them down. Just like Breaking Bad has been building up to
Hank discovering the identity of the all-mighty Heisenberg, Dexter has been building up to Deb discovering the "real" Dexter
Morgan.
And quite frankly, I personally think that her discovery of her brother, what she thinks of him, and what she will inevitably do,
countered with what Dexter is capable of doing to keep his secret safe is far more interesting than any bad guy they could add. I
personally thought having Deb is the one and only antagonist of the season would have been perfect, but thats just my thought. |
menawati
10.02.12 | "I personally think that her discovery of her brother, what she thinks of him, and what she will inevitably do, countered with what Dexter is capable of doing to keep his secret safe is far more interesting"
this
show has gone beyond baddie of the week and baddie of the season
has to keep moving on and concentrate on the development of the main chaarcters or fizzle away |
