Ashley Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Oh yeah Chuck wasn't a great show, but it was a good one. And Yvonne Strahovski was pretty impressive in it. and I may have a think for blonde women that could kick my arse. So what?
Magnus Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 I think my memory of Chuck may be slightly tarnished by the awful final season, to be fair. Seasons 1 to 3 weren't half bad (season 4 was okay, too). Yvonne Strahovski, meanwhile, was ruined forever by the Mass Effect games. I will never get Miranda's ugly face out of mind. Don't play them, Ashley. Miranda's dark-haired. But you can have sex with her, so there's that.
Murr Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Sad news - Quote The countdown for Dexter's end has begun. It’s still awhile away – two whole seasons worth – but in a new interview with TV Guide, Dexter executive producer Sara Colleton says that Season 8 of the show will absolutely be the last one. Dexter was renewed for two seasons last year, and at the time, Showtime were coy on whether or not the show would wrap up after that or if it could continue on. However, asked by TV Guide whether the next two years could be considered the end, she replies, “This was definite. We wanted to end it this year, but the network convinced us that it would be best to do it in two years. In some ways, this is a two-season series-ender. We have worked that out and know where it's going to end. Next year will definitely be the last year of Dexter. Absolutely.” In the interview, Colleton goes into some interesting specifics on what to expect in Season 7, debuting this fall. Obviously, this could be considered spoilers if you don’t want to know anything about what’s to come... Reveal hidden contents The previous description of Yvonne Strahovski’s new character said she was someone called in to help Miami Metro with some old cases, but it turns out her backstory is straight out of Natural Born Killers, with Colleton revealing, “She plays this woman named Hannah, who took off from this small rinky-dink Florida town and ran off with this older guy and they went on this wild killing spree. So when they got caught, she turned state's evidence on the boyfriend, he went to jail for life and she started a new life. Years later, she's in her 30s and she will intersect with Dexter. I would say Hannah is a still water that runs very deep and is quite unlike any woman Dexter has ever known. It also looks like the past will be coming up in a big way, as Colleton talked about a big new storyline for LaGuerta, which begins when she finds a blood slide at a crime scene, after Dexter loses it. Says Colleton, “The only other time that she had seen this blood slide was in the copy case of the Bay Harbor Butcher. Her dear friend Sergeant Doakes, everyone thought he was the Bay Harbor Butcher, and thought that when he died, the Bay Harbor Butcher died with him. Now, she begins to suspect, ‘Is the Bay Harbor Butcher still alive and how can I set about proving the innocence of my friend Sergeant Doakes?’ That is something that's a silent thing at the start, but it's, again, going to be eventually working its way back to Dexter. It's going to be very interesting to see if she can exonerate him.” For more on what Colleton had to say, including how Deb might react to learning Dexter’s secret last year, check out the full interview at TV Guide. Source - IGN I didn't read the spoilers as I'm only halfway through season 6 at the moment, However, sad news that it'll eventually end
Mr_Odwin Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I think it's good. Anything over five seasons is usually drivel for most shows. Better to leave great memories than to fade into cack.
Magnus Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I agree that it's sad news that they're going to drag it out for another two years. :p Dexter peaked with season 4 and I really didn't like season 6 much. For some reason I thought season 7 would be the last and I was hoping they'd be able to go out with a bang, but I don't have high hopes if they're going to have to drag it out for twice as many episodes. Well, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Agent Gibbs Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I thought this was widely known that series 8 was the end? i knew a few month ago from reading news sites regarding spoilers Reveal hidden contents Since there is that creepy serial killer wannabe lab assistant, i think he will discover Dexter's dark passenger, become a killer, Dexter will frame him for the blood slides saying he's a bay harbour butcher copy cat (which he is) As for future spoilers, Deb obviously doesn't grass him in, and will wrestle with her love for him, and if she learns Harry made him that way it could explain not reporting him In one interview however it was stated they don't know if they will Kill Dex off at the end or not yet A popular theory is it could go full circle and with Debs help Dexter seeks to put his passenger behind him and succeeds but Harrison however was born in blood and effectively becomes a new Dexter, thus going fully family circle
Beast Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 Dexter is one of the best shows out there. It'll be sad to see it go, sure, but I have to say that it might be for the best because, as Mr. Odwin says, it's better to have good memories of it than for it to carry on and turn into complete shit. Looking forward to reading the books now (a friend of mine has got me it for my birthday).
Jav_NE Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Man, I didn't know that. That sucks, but yeh if it helps them end the show well and as they envisioned it to end then it is a good thing. I might have to read te books too.
Magnus Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Fair warning: if the summaries on Wikipedia are anything to go by, the books are complete trash after the first one.
Murr Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 First 2 minutes of Season 7 opening episode here - http://www.tvfanatic.com/videos/dexter-season-7-premiere-first-two-minutes/ Need this to start sooner.
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I'm about 7 episodes into Series 5 at the moment. I waited a long time to watch 5 after 4, and I think the break has helped a lot. My friend watched 5 pretty much immediately straight afterwards and didn't think much of it. I'm quite enjoying it. I've come to terms that we won't get another season as good as 4, so I'm just enjoying it for what it is.

Couldn't agree more - Season 4 was a high point for Dexter and 5 & 6 didn't even come close to that quality - it's still a good show but not a great show like it once was.

Watched that this morning and kind of flailed/died. Although a censored Dexter is weeeeeeird.
Beast Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 I'm not going to watch that! Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to see this come back but I want to enjoy every moment of it when I first see it, ESPECIALLY after that series ending! Man, I'm so excited to see this! It needs to start right now!
bob Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 So.......has anybody watched the newest episode? Thought it was a bit crappy....until the last minute or so. Thought they should have just had that scene at the beginning somehow. Still, looks good!
Beast Posted October 3, 2012 Author Posted October 3, 2012 Really? I thought it was an awesome opener. I really liked it and that ending...I mean, wow! Mindblowing stuff! I really need Episode 2 to be shown right now! It's actually getting me excited to read the books!
bob Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) Reveal hidden contents it just seemed a bit unlikely that Deb would react like she did., ok you killed in self defense... Hang on, the remember almost being killed like that... Just thought the end of the episode reaction would have been her first one. Anyway, next episode should be good, when we finally find out what she's going to do about it, in other words what I thought was going to be in the first episode.

Ashley Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 I suppose there is that 'thing' whereby you try and stop yourself from imagining the worse as it fucks up everything you know.

I didn't even have time to learn his name. I'm not too excited about the stripper mafia at the moment. They'd better be more interesting than Adama and Tom Hanks Jr.!
bob Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I see you didn't bother to learn their names either... :-)

Was hoping based on his phone call that he'd start suspecting something was up and he'd be investigating Debs. Alas, not.

Reveal hidden contents Ice Truck Killer, that woman from Hustle, Dexter's new best friend (I DON'T SEE RACE), Trinity, that woman from 10 Things I Hate About You, and Adama and Tom Hanks Jr. It's comforting to know that I'm not the only person who's going senile.
Cookyman Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 I really really liked season 7's opening episode.
Murr Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Reveal hidden contents Well I didn't think that would happen? Deb finding out everything, now babysitting him. And Laguertta (Sp?) fishing around the slides and the Bay Harbor Butcher case again. Could be a rather tense season.
