I think it's bull [expletive] that people think they can talk about current TV in the TV thread.

People who are obsessed with the idea of "spoilers" should probably just stop reading this thread. As far as I'm concerned, after the episode airs, it's cool to talk about it.

Fine, but did you think Louie was great or what? Is the freaking season already over at 13 episodes? I hate that.

That's exactly why I asked for the thread title change. I've been reading this thread for months and people almost always use spoilers for big revelations. But the past few pages just set me forward about 20 hours of Dexter. Not all of us have Showtime. It's not like it was the score of the Vikings' game on Fox being revealed, it was very specific details of a show highly reliant on plot.

People have different work schedules, or don't have Showtime/HBO. Some, like me, have to wait for those kind of shows to come out on Netflix type programs. I didn't demand that spoilers be used, just wanted others to avoid making the mistake I did.

On the bright side, there's 20 hours of Dexter I don't need to watch anymore that I can dedicate to Californication.

It was awesome, but yes, it's done until Season 2. Awesome profound stuff mixed in with the funny. The history of the word [expletive] and the bullying episode were my two favorite parts.

I enjoyed Stephen Root's banana.

Dexter is still worth watching. By the time you get to all the stuff we've spoiled you'll have forgotten about it.

Yeah, I see where he's coming from. I probably should have used spoilers. I always post on an iPhone and it's not as easy on the phone.

I was several seasons behind on Breaking Bad for a while, and avoided this thread mainly due to that.

Has anyone ever seen Top Gear? They did a 60 minutes thing on it Sunday, looked like my kind of show, found out Comcast has back issues for free, watched a couple of episodes Maybe the best show every aired. That is my kind of TV right there.

I love Dexter, but this week's episode was a waste.

Lumen, either leave or stay and get revenge. The entire episode was simply her and Dex waffling.
the only redemming point was Dexter's insight and thoughts on Harrison.
