I apologize in advance if I am hijacking this, but does anybody think Deb's boyfriend might be the Ice Truck Killer?

Rita lives!
Even though it was telegraphed horribly, kissing the next door neighbor is the most interesting thing Rita has done in four seasons.

Houston
Now I feel like a chump for thinking Bryce was going to Houston. In my defense, it was a qualified belief. It went like this:

No Sue!
You cannot possibly give an episode of Glee any grade higher than C+ when it contains zero scenes with Sue Sylvester.

Wow, your best friend was awesome! Such trenchant wit and verve! Thanks for sharing that wonderful anecdote.

Shawshank Redemption is a much better complaint. Pulp Fiction is exactly like Forrest Gump in that it doesn't hold up over the years. Watch it now, and the flaws stare you in the face.

I don't know about the ritual of the victim's photographs and keeping the slides, but I do believe it was Harry that taught Dexter the rest of his killing "ritual" with the plastic, how to dispose of the body, etc.

Dexter doesn't need to kill, that's the point (at least in the TV series). Harry taught him to be a good killer because Dexter was so dead inside, but facing the trauma of his mother's death and filling his life with other things is slowly bringing him back to normal.

Dexter IS a real boy
I know we've gone over this before, but I think it is wrong-headed to fret about the writers turning Dexter into a real human being instead of an emotionless killing machine. The point of the entire series has been that Dexter is not really the monster he thinks he is, that Harry just convinced

The thing I noticed upon rewatching this a few months ago is how unearned the romance between Weaver and Murray really is. If you count Weaver showing up at HQ and Murray's visit to her apartment as one encounter, then they really only spoke to each other twice (the other a quickie outside of symphony practice)

Sorry, but I think the Quinn pregnancy plotline is one of the most horrifying things about this show. I cannot believe that the writers want us to feel sympathy for Quinn's predicament, when she is stealing from and emotionally brutalizing her innocent/dumb boyfriend merely because she's too embarrassed to admit she

The best kind of episode
I enjoy any episode of this show where Will's wife doesn't appear for even a second.

I don't know that it will be the worst ending ever, but all I'm saying is that's where this show seemed to be going. At the end of season one, his brother the Ice Truck Killer was a true sociopath, he didn't care about anyone. But Dexter couldn't kill his sister. Then we saw lots of stuff in season two about Harry

Funny, I've viewed all of these seasons the opposite way: that Dexter is slowly starting to realize that he's not a sociopath at all. Sure, he was damaged as a child by what happened in the shipping container, but the idea that he is a monster who must put on a disguise because he can't understand human feelings was

I think that scene was ambiguous. All that's clear is that Abed's father thinks that is why she left. When he says, "You never had to" what he means is that even though his father never said it, it was clear to Abed that his father believed it.

"Turtle's Shell" After getting his business degree, Turtle leaves the entourage and buys a gas station where the rich and famous come to fill up their cars. Watch Turtle struggle to stay afloat as his ethnically diverse but dimwitted employees manage to anger three very famous guest stars each week.

The Bill/Sookie wedding
I also had a problem with Sookie committing to marriage because she liked the way that giant diamond looked on her finger. But I can't believe that Bill would ask her to marry him without even giving any thought to his whole immortality thing. All he said is, "I don't care about any of that."

The point of putting "Suck it" on the dildo is that Eric had managed to make the thing taste exactly like Mrs. Ari. If Ari had followed directions, he would have gone nuts trying to figure out how E pulled it off.

I admit that I cried when Eric broke down and begged Godric not to leave him.

It's a testament to the actor or the writing or both, but he has become the most interesting character on the show even though before tonight he only had two scenes, and one of those had no lines.
