Dexter

awesome sneak peaks for this sundays episode....3 scenes and a trailer specifically for episode 2....http://www.spoilertv.com/search/label/Dexter

Really digging the season 6 premier. My favorite TV show is back just in time. Looking better than seasons 3 & 5(which I didn't hate...just thought they were the weakest) already.

"I have no idea what Hammer Time is. Or how it differs from regular time." Hilarious!DD

 

[kedrell]

Anyone notice the weapon Hanks used on the fruit vendor? That didn't look like a machete to me. More like an old style roman short sword(the kind you'd see in Spartacus). Any thoughts?

 

[squeekness]

I thought it was a machete but then I don't know much about weapons.

 

[PWN3R]

I enjoyed the premiere immensely, and I'm glad Dex is back. Humor is as solid as always, that Hammer Time scene....ahaaahha, gold.

Buuuut, man, that opening was weak. Why the hell would Dexter call 911 and report a stabbing? That's dumb because not only does he 1) go on record as reporting the incident, which would be huge once the paramedics are discovered to be missing and 2) he reports a stabbing....uh, what? That would most certainly attract the police.

This made me go all just like when Dexter killed that random last season and left the body on the restroom floor.

Weak writing is weak. Unless, of course, this is all going to bite him in the ass somehow, then, brilliant writing is brilliant!

Could have been. It certainly fits with the Christian armageddon overtones these guys are spouting.

EXCLUSIVE: Showtime’s flagship drama Dexter opened its sixth season on Sunday with a stellar 2.2 million viewers, up 24% from last year to mark the hit series’ highest-rated premiere ever and Showtime’s best original series opener in at least 14 years. But the prospects of the hit drama going to a seventh season are now uncertain as negotiations between Dexter star Michael C. Hall and Showtime have broken down. I hear that the two sides reached an impasse yesterday, the same day Dexter‘s big Season 6 premiere ratings came out. Hall’s contract for Dexter is up after the current sixth season, which is about to wrap production. He has been negotiating with Showtime for a while, but I hear talks broke down after the two sides couldn’t bridge a $4 million gap in proposed salary for a new deal, with Showtime offering $20 million for two more seasons and Hall’s team asking for $24 million. Either figure would make Hall one of the highest-paid actors in cable. Sources indicate that the network brass remain hopeful about reaching a deal, with signing Hall for one more season vs. two also an option. Hall jumped on Dexter immediately after finishing Six Feet Under and, after working on a TV series for 10 straight years, the actor had been looking to do other things, including a Broadway musical. He won a Golden Globe for his role on Dexter last year.

Uh oh....

 

[Kaleb]

This has potential to be the best since season 2.

didnt like season 2, thought it was weak

[jacobed]

I hated season 2 because I couldn't stand the chick. So happy Doakes is dead. Couldn't stand him

 

[Liam_H]

Different strokes I guess but I thought Doakes was hilarious. Sure he's playing the typical stereotype but besides Dexter there's not really any other interesting character on the show. Not counting the antagonists that are brought in everyone else is just there for Dexter to play off of.

Also I believe you were suppose to hate Lila in S2.

 

[Project862006]

i loved doakes i love his

Surprise Mother****** scene LOL

 

[kedrell]

I thought Season 2 was the best one so far. Then season 1 and after that season 4. Seasons 3 & 5 were the weakest with 3 being slightly worse than 5.

 

[kedrell]

Could have been. It certainly fits with the Christian armageddon overtones these guys are spouting.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It looked more like a rusty version of this:

Uh oh....

OHH,NOOO.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

i wasn't a big fan of Doakes, but he did have his funny moments. he was like an angry Leon from Curb Your Enthuthiasm. "F this" and "F that" t:

 

[antsman41]

OHH,NOOO.

Nothing to worry here. It's just like Mad Men and AMC.

The company will show all of it's cards after a little while and we'll win...

The can't afford not to.

 

[Ken-Kaniff]

Season 1 was the best, then 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 5th imo. But I loved all!

Season 6, the current one, seems like it might make it in my Top3, but it's too early to tell. I really hope this show survives, as long as they stay creative, I'm fine with it and I don't want it to end!

To get back on topic, I was a bit disappointed that they didn't show Travis actually killing the fruit man and doing that sick procedure of replacing his bowels with snakes (ewwww lol).

Uh oh....

Hmm I wonder if they can give the show a proper send off if this is the last season.

 

[The Navigator]

Just watched the premiere (work interfered).

Some random, disjointed thoughts:

Spoiler

Very interesting. Dexter's take on religion as it having certain "attractive elements" while perusing Christ's wounds was a nice chuckle.

I do like that they're making the antagonist a zealot (since there probably is no more dangerous kind of enemy), but the trailer gave me the impression he was up against a cult, or at least a group of people, with Olmos being the leader, rather than two. Maybe their influence starts small but begins to sway the vulnerable until Dexter winds up having to puzzle out a justified mass murder rather than isolated neat killings. Eh...maybe too similar to last season, but the middle american version of a temple of doom has a nice counterweight to Dexter's singular athetist efficiency.

Also nice to see Laguerta playing a larger and dangerous political field, rather than being relegated to a love interest (one of the weaker elements of last season). Although it seems like Debra's going to be promoted too...unless she's transferring or resigning in that ceremony? Doesn't look happy either way. She does find out he's a serial killer this season, right?

What the hell's going on with his dad this season? All the sudden he's encouraging Dexter to enjoy popularity and kick some ass in football games? I always assumed his father was some guilt manifestation since he gives him about one compliment every other season, and now he's some ghost coach? **** that.

(Speaking of the dad, it'd be interesting if Dexter confronts his belief in "nothing" and how that aligns to the repeated visions of his dead father [and once brother]. He's also never really assigned a spiritual significance to his 'dark passenger,' either (thankfully--the books fumbled this rather horribly), but it would be interesting to see him compare and contrast them against Olmos and co's zealotry.)

And god damn, Batista is never going to find happiness, is he? Twice divorced, and the second time from his boss.

 

[Visceral]

Those are good thoughts

Dexter is my favorite TV show.I want more seasons!.I feel very sad about this.And with the high ratings Dexter is having..its a shame the show could be cancelled because of Michael Hall´s greed.

 

[Liam_H]

Its the studio's greed, Hall just wants what he's owed. This show is good basically because of him. Its not like he's still in contract and demanding a raise in the middle of it, he's just negotiating a new one.

In that case,they better give him what he deserves!!.Showtime will never have such a big success in their hands.Dexter is awesome.

I hope Showtime is not so stupid to let this wonderful show go!!.
