Although I also believe that the two prior episodes were egregiously stagnant, I think this one more than makes up for them………that scene between Vanessa and demon-Malcolm was wonderful!

Yeah, you're right, but fortunately I'm way too young at 24 to ever remember that existed

When the credits first rolled, I rolled my eyes at the bullshit "this is a true story" conceit that had been performed in a novel fashion in the original film; as a result, I thought the rest of the episode would just be a tired rehash of Coen Bros. very good (but not great IMHO) film.

Damn it……nice call on the bananas reference; I was about to bring it up!

After seeing her show at Bonnaroo in '09, I randomly walked into her and we talked about horses/sci-fi/music for ten minutes or so. I can personally attest that she's a gloriously kind-spirited person, and I'm glad to see that she's finally attaining widespread media exposure.

What about Blue Cheer?

On the final scene; COLLETON:  He went into an absolute shutdown. He no longer has even his voiceover.

I love that your name is fatvirgin…….it really compliments your imbecility.

That's the funniest thing I've read tonight……which is, without a doubt, one of the best compliments I've ever doled out.

At the beginning, when the police apprehended Elway presumably without checking his "bag" and finding nothing of real criminal value or interest, I knew this episode was going to be complete shit.

Good question……honestly, one of my roommates loves the show (although he admits that this season is absolute garbage), and I've gotten into a habit of joining him.  This season is, for better or worse, the first episodes of Dex I've watched since the Lithgow years.

I've been wondering the same thing………

I know it's coming, but I would have probably given tonight's episode a failing grade……I cannot even imagine how it could possibly get worse than that.

So there I was, having already endured Dexter's endless love for Hannah (1.), Miami Metro's advanced aging super technology, needless exposition that I already knew about (2), the whole Deb/Hannah scene, inappropriately horny Quinn, the all of the sudden soft-hearted Vogel (3), cutesy Harrison (4), and fuck knows what…

Well, I for one am thankful for this episode.  The ending guaranteed that I will never have to endure another minute of "The Mischievous Exploits of Hannah, Dex, and Zach" ever again.

When the show starts pointing out its own intrinsic stupidity (namely, I'm thinking of the Zach: I thought you said we shouldn't be seen together! moment, but I'm pretty certain there's probably more that I didn't notice due to the episode's inability to grasp my attention for more than a minute or two at a time), you…

I just want to address two of Bowie's issues with the show.

Walt VO: My neighbor Carol.

It's obvious that the C-plus meant that this week was just a trifle less egregious than last week's shitstorm.

Jaime: Hey baby, are you doing anything important?
Quinn : Um, the kid I'm spying on who will eventually become friends with Dexter, thus making me a pseudo-antagonistic figure again, has been sitting inhis car suspiciously for hours.  I must find out his motives for doing so!   
Jaime: But….
Quinn: Remember, Jaime, I…
