You mean there exists a structure alternate to exposition, rising action, climax, and denouement? Heresy.

I couldn't agree with this more, as I'm sure do many commenters on this site and Lynch fans more broadly. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people respond to challenging art not with gratitude or open mindedness, but with apathy, confusion, or hostility, failing to recognize that these adverse effects are…

Do you mind giving me a quick synopsis of the differences? (No worries if not; I am obsessed enough with Twin Peaks to find and read that entire script.)

Agreed with others that generally the rotating parody episodes are weak, but these were hilarious. They managed to nail every single one, and ridicule how implausible they all were (a wife wanting money over magic beans, a little girl being sent into the woods, and recognizing the difference between a wolf and her…

Archer is my favorite show, and I'm going to stick around with it and even try and get excited about the new premise, but I have to agree that this episode in isolation was disappointing due to the heavy exposition. My main concern is that, as the plot shifts, we'll have to continue to deal with exposition and…

"COLLETON: We have slowly this year, very consciously, stripped out a lot of voiceover. Very much so compared to previously years. It was very important to have very little of it at the end and to let the emotion of the moment speak for itself. In episode 10, when Dexter comes in and finds Dr. Vogel dead, what he’s…

Thank you. Just like in real life, babies just fuck everything up and produce nothing compelling.

Scott Buck's take on the finale that will make your skin crawl:

This is what I've been thinking all season long, week after week. It truly saddens me because I used to think Dexter was my all time favorite show, but as I watched its decline I remembered how it was adapted from a novel and it lost a lot of credibility. That being said, I still do think they nailed it with Season 2.…

Thank you. What an awful final villain. (There shouldn't have even been a final villain.)

Not really. Quinn and Batista watch the video of Dexter killing Saxon, Batista starts to say something that makes us think Dexter might get in some sort of trouble, then Quinn says he's glad he's dead and he would've done the same. Nothing about Jamie, guess she's finally free of her foster parenting now that Dexter's…

Disregard this!

I rewatched 1 and 2 during the airing of 8 to test this and make sure I wasn't just nostalgifying the earlier seasons. I wasn't; they were really solid.

I wouldn't wish that, even on my worst enemies.

The Ghost Harry scenes were particularly painful tonight. 
"That doesn't sound like Dexter." 
"Now THAT sounds like Dexter."

I have met and interviewed him, which isn't to say I've peered into his soul, but I think you're spot on here. He seems like an incredibly selfless person to me.

The thing that sucks the most about Dexter is that they'll spend an entire season meandering with useless subplots and feature a few of the apparently thousands of serial killers living in Miami, then randomly employ something extremely shocking out of left field for the finale. Like when Deb finally discovered Dexter…

The level of the writing has sunk to such unfathomably subterranean depths that I can't help but think that there are some genuinely suspicious politics going on in the writer's room. Having briefly taken a glance at the writers credited for individual episodes of this season, every single one of them has written for…
