Dexter runs into serial killers the way you run into people inexplicably bringing up Obama in Youtube comments.

In the finale Dexter is pretty much a Viking god that eats a hurricane and shits a beard.

The Roman centurion whose spear pierced the side of Christ seemed genuinely happy with the Dexter finale too, but that didn't stop Constantine from converting.

Paradox: If you were a Showtime executive and Scott Buck told you his raw, unfiltered creative vision, would you have a moral obligation to intervene?

re: 6): Not to belabor the obvious point, but seriously:: Has there ever been a movie serial killer with a criminal history? Like ever? Because I'm pretty sure one of the universal constants of real-life murderers is that, from Stalin to Hitler to Dhamer to Manson, they have a history of petty yet antisocial behavior

Vorophilia is when people want to be eaten, but usually "eaten" means "swallowed whole while conscious," like Jon Voight ihe movie Anaconda. That way, the author can make dozens of MSPaint drawing of a smiling dragon monster with a grotequely distended belly rubbing itself over giggly conversation with the victim, who

I'm native English speaker whose knowledge of Spanish consists solely over six classes (three in high school, three in college) and even I could tell Gus' pronounciation was off. It sounded a lot like the kids in the Intro classes: "El NOM-bre del HOM-bre es….Hank Schraeder.

It's 92% pure remake

There's no reason to post this, I suppose. Back when Breaking Bad and Dexter's final seasons were airing at the same time, the easy joke for lazy people to reach for was the whole "What if Breaking Bad was written by the Dexter writers?" trope. At the time, it was sort of clever, I guess. But now that both shows are
