I heard that they made out and had sex.

Stuff like this has me wondering if the show was always like this and I'm just remembering the early seasons through nostalgia filters.

I will have no besmirching of AD Season 4 Ron Howard. Or AD Season 4 at all.

I think my telling moment for exactly what Dexter has become is when Deb came into the Miami Metro office to answer questions, and Dexter's ever-persisting internal monologue decided to ask itself, "Is it about El Sapo?" as if the writers thought we couldn't draw that conclusion on our own. And it's a pity, because

The only way I could really become invested in this show again would be if Doakes and Isaak were reborn as vampires, and became the focus of the show. Their primary goal would be drinking Dexter's blood slides, and solving the mystery of why Dexter keeps talking to an imaginary father.

I still have that blind hope that we may eventually get some degree of Yvonne Strahovski nudity. So if I must deal with more stupid Hannah, I will do so in order to keep my reckless dream alive.

Not "just Doakes". Cyborg Doakes. Also, I'm kind of surprised that they never tried to do "Ghost Doakes" as a representation of Dexter's doubts or something.

They have an American Psycho ending, where it's later revealed that Dexter may have imagined it all. Oh God, now that I think about it, I could totally see the writers of this show making that their ending. Please don't let it be that.

To accuse this humbly innocent man with a collection of blood slides of murder? That is lewd, lascivious, salacious, OUTRAGEOUS!

I'm still holding out hope that the guy they thought was the arsonist was in fact innocent, and that it was secretly a horribly burned and mangled Cyborg Doakes all along.

Technically his movies are top-notch, and he has a flair for showmanship, which is more than you can say for certain filmmakers, who are only capable of visually ugly color palettes and highly uncomfortable camera work (Hint: it's the guy who made a movie with robot scrotum in it).

My god, I didn't even realize that. This movie's cast is strangely awesome for an Emmerich movie. Since ID4, all of his movies revolve around a semi-star (Dennis Quaid, Will Smith at the time, John Cusack), and a load of B-listers (Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Oliver Platt, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Brent

Red Son is glorious. It's the Watchmen of Superman comics, but it'll never be made into a live-action movie. A DC Animated Original, on the other hand.

"Hello darkness, my old friend…". One of AD's best recurring gags ever.

If you beat us, you're fired. That's a joke.

It's probably because Rainn Wilson delivers the entire exchange while maintaining a furiously straight face, as Dwight is seemingly unaware of the ridiculousness of the things he's saying.

Oberyn could actually be replaced fairly organically with Bronn without greatly altering the story, much as Gendry replaced Edric Storm. Oberyn has a lot of personality, though, and his motivations are far more interesting, so I really hope he's there next season.

Admittedly, most of the interest around Coldhands is due to the mystery of his identity. The most common theory is that he's Benjen Stark, but it's more likely that he's someone much, much older.

It'll make her character more tragic (yet another character on the pike for making moral decisions), and it'll allow Tywin to still say "Wherever whores go".

Seriously. First Strong Belwas, and then Coldhands. The latter better be there next season, along with Oberyn.
