  • So I completely agree that Dexter peaked at season 4. I enjoyed the rest of the series, season 4-8, with things slowly just getting a bit worse. The finale of season 8 was not great.

    Dexter New Blood, the one season revival, is fun and worth watching. It has some holes in it, but it’s fun to see Dexter back in action.

    Then, Dexter Original Sin, the one season so far prequel series, that had been really great. The actors who play younger versions do a fantastic job.

    And now the upcoming Dexter Resurrection is something I’m looking forward to.

    Basically if you want more Dexter or are curious, I think it’s worth it, if not, no biggie.


  • There was a thread a few weeks ago discussing the decline of theatres. The one, and only, suggestion from theater owners was to have a 90 day minimum theatre time before films moved to streaming/physical media.

    At the time that idea seemed silly to me. Usually if I want to see a film, it’s opening weekend I see it. Maybe the second week, but usually before the second weekend.

    But this film is leaving theaters less than a week after release? I saw Mickey 17 was announced to be leaving before being in theaters for 2 weeks.

    I guess I understand the complaint from theatre owners now. Maybe 90 days is too long but shit you gotta draw a line somewhere. You gotta give films a chance if you want theatres to stay open.

    So many films post pandemic have their “Exclusively in theaters” taglines, but for how long?











  • This episode was all buildup, but the season has given us a lot.

    Helena broke into the group and was discovered.

    Irving forced into retirement.

    Burt, while still mysterious, being a Lumon lifer.

    Mark reintegration.

    Mark & Gemma’s relationship & her “death”.

    Gemma’s life since death.

    Cobel’s life in Lumon as the architect of Severing.

    Sure there is still a lot of questions, but we’ve learned a lot about different characters this season.
