Title: Dexter
Post by: J.D. Wykid, Esq. on November 29, 2009, 09:28:30 PM

im really enjoying this season.  this is probably my favorite season....or at the very least right there with season 2.  John Lithgow is an amazing actor.  ive never seen him in a role like this.....and he is perfect for it!!!

This season is great, I actually thought 2 was kind of a let-down and picked back up with 3.
I'm downloading last night's episode right now, looking forward to it.

Yeah a great season, started kinda slow but now it's buckwild. The last week ep (haven't seen the new one yet) was classic, the way Dexter switched up to a serial killer persona in a second was amazing. The only thing that bothers me with this season is the Angel & La Guerta love story, it makes me vomit.

season is fucking great so far.

But I want to take a minute to talk about John Lithgow.I'm used to him being a comedy actor, because of that series he did, with the aliens (it was really popular around here for quite some time).Then the new Dexter started and I immediately thought damn, he's really good at being a killer/psychopath.Right after I watched the pre-air of the first episode for this season, I started checking out some early Brian De Palma movies, and man, did he love Lithgow in these kinds of roles (killer/disturbed person)!I recommend checking out what the two of them did together, some really good stuff there.Props to Lithgow, big actor!

good stuff, ill check those out.  any one of those films really stand out?

for real?  for me it was the other way around.  season 3 was cool, but its definitely the weakest of the 4 seasons, imo.

for me, this is how id rate the seasons 4/2, 1, 3.

its odd tho...dexter has barley killed anyone this season, and its shaping up to be the best one yet! lol

Post by: Javier on December 01, 2009, 12:06:55 AM
Blow Out is a good movie to check out


Season 1 can't be topped and so far Season 4 has been the closest one.  2 and 3 I rank them the same, cool seasons but don't compare to 1 and 4. 
Title: Re: Dexter
Post by: The Watcher on December 01, 2009, 03:21:32 AM
season 3 was the worst dexter season, and it was still better than alot of shit on television. the middle of the season is weak while him and the miguel are getting to know each other or whatever, but the start and ending episodes are great

as for this season, i think rita is gonna get done by trinity. she hasnt been in it much this season and they're emphasizing the whole "family" aspect of the killers and how dexter can't turn into lithgow. the next two episodes look fucking insane, i can't wait
Title: Re: Dexter
Post by: Episcop Cruel Cvrle on December 01, 2009, 03:39:15 AM
Every season has its charms but they are all 5/5 stars at the end, season 3 was great as well, connection and chemistry between Miguel and Dexter was amazing. 4th season is great but has some bad moments, writers are trying to make it unpredictable but sometimes they just do the opposite by trying that hard and story becomes transparent. Sometimes they are trying to present different Dexter as sloppy and not organized, not focused, its not good to change the mans character like that when its already formed in viewers heads, cant blame them too much tho, its hard to write FOUR great seasons and they are managing.  Final two episodes are gonna be off the hook.

yes, like it was already mentioned, Blow Out is def worth checking, I personally loved it.Obsession is another one I know that is great, still can't find it anywhere to check it out tho.I dont know anything about Raising Cane, other than that it's a horror movie and Lithgow plays a doctor who suffers from multiple personality disorder (all 3 of the movies are De Palma/Lithgow collabos, of course)

yeah i think rita is done. i thought that as soon as they introduced trinity as being a 'family man'

add to the fact that she's just fucking annoying when she's on the screen now

Do you think he will kill her? I think not, she presents balance for Dexter, I really cant imagine him alone with 3 kids LOL

Word is 5th season gonna start January. Damn what a great show, havent enjoyed TV Show like this since I watched Twin Peaks for 10th time.
Title: Re: Dexter
Post by: The Watcher on December 02, 2009, 04:23:33 AM
i think rita and the kids are done for. the whole season has been dexter keeping his life secret from his family, then we see trinity doing exactly the same shit. then it all turns into 'oh im not like him', every episode that goes on it turns out he's exactly like him. looking at the preview it's pretty clear

- trinity knows "kyle" is dexter
- trinity knows where he lives (he's outside his house)
- trinity knows where he works

i'll guess that the next episode or two have dexter running around chasing after him, and dexter doesn't realise his family is missing until trinity drops them off a bridge or something and dexter becomes all "dark passenger"

I was having the same idea at the begining homie, this would be sth that really good writers would do, independent type of writers I mean. But we are talking about USA showtime production series, so my predictions that kids and Rita are gonna live.

We shall see soon tho....

Title: Re: Dexter
Post by: Episcop Cruel Cvrle on December 08, 2009, 05:03:06 AM
still havent checked this one, gonna wait for the next week one and then check both together as 2 hour finale.  ;D
Title: Re: Dexter
Post by: The Watcher on December 09, 2009, 06:19:05 PM
seems theyve gone all out for the finale

- fake scripts
- shooting fake scenes
- watermarking all copies of the footage

there is a turn "so unexpected" its meant to change the series. we were talking about this at work and pretty much came up with;

- rita is done
- dexter is found out (and on the run?)
Title: Re: Dexter
Post by: J.D. Wykid, Esq. on December 09, 2009, 07:08:41 PM
im not going to go into the details, but im thinking it probably has something to do with debra or maybe the kids.  either way this season finale should be epic.

after the ratings the finale got (highest in showtime history) best believe there will be plenty of more Dexter to come.  :bandit:
Title: Re: Dexter
Post by: Meho on December 15, 2009, 02:34:31 AM
Yeah I can definitely see this going for like 7 seasons, especially after the record breaking finale. Great final episode, I was maybe a little bit too hyped after the last 4 episodes but it's all hood. Glad that Rita is dead, I just hope he won't have all 3 kids next season.
Title: Re: Dexter
Post by: Episcop Cruel Cvrle on December 17, 2009, 02:24:33 AM
Ive just seen the finale, it was very good, John Lithgow brilliant acting just took over this season,ama-fuckin-zing. Very shocking for a mainstream show like this, but im happy that writers decided to take this turn. I can see a darker and complicated next season where Dexter becomes more ruthless. How hes gonna take care of three kids on his own, they seen him in station with trinity (batista did for sure), trinitys family knows him, etc etc, interesting to see how hes gonna handle all that.

Just started watching this show the other day.Halfway trhough season two.Season one was great,season two has been ok but a bit of a letdown.I have to say the show can be a bit too soap operish at times and some of the sub plots are lame and pointless.The wire is still my favorite show of all time

Dexter actor Michael C. Hall revealed Wednesday he has been battling cancer, but said he’s almost finished with treatment and the disease is in remission. Hall, 38, said in a statement he is lucky to have been diagnosed with the “treatable and curable condition” - Hodgkin’s lymphoma - and thanked his Los Angeles-area medical team for their skill in caring for him. His spokesman, Craig Bankey, said Hall’s cancer is in remission but the actor will continue scheduled treatments.Hall plans to go with his wife - and Dexter costar - Jennifer Carpenter to Sunday’s Golden Globes, »

Post by: The Big Bad Ass on October 14, 2010, 05:39:48 PM
Looks like Quinn is gonna be the main antagonist this season kind of like Doaks was in season 2. Glad Ritas kids are out of the picture. Personal opinion of the shows so far...
Season 1
Season 4
Season 2
Season 3

In that order from best to worst. BUT, even the worst season of Dexter is far > than any shit else on tv today.

4 episodes I think. This season for me is by far the worst, I mean its still good but I'm a little dissapointed. The first 2 episodes=boooooring Glad they got rid of the kids, I don't care if they lost their mother, Aster was just pissing me off.

Title: Re: Dexter
Post by: Leggy Hendrix on January 10, 2011, 05:57:48 AM
so what are the general thoughts on season 5? just finished watching it myself, thought the last few eps were really good, was a pretty slow season overall compared to the one previous, but obviously there was a lot of shit that had to be sorted with rita dying and whatnot...

thought the finale was probably the best episode, altho for a while i did think there was gonna end up being a quinn situation similar to the one dexter had with doakes, wonder how they'll pan out their dynamic going forward...

bring on season 6  8)

After 8 years this show is coming back for season 9 in November. I wonder what theyre gonna do with it, was one of my favorite shows to follow back in the day.
