Loved that line. If Hank had to die, I'm proud he did it with complete and utter dignity and lucidity.

@avclub-ff6023e3011fc2f3d90eb466c0d428a3:disqus I know there's a limit on how long we want these comments to be, but can you be a bit less verbose? As relevant and incisive as your assessment is, I don't need to be scrolling down five pages to get to the next comment.

Actually, I felt the Batista-Dexter goodbye was pretty lame. Well, no surprise there, considering the episode and this series in general… but this scene gave me a brief flashback to an early series where Dexter is sitting and eating dinner with Batista, at a restaurant I think.

Laughed out loud at "Monica Bellucci in Irreversible". When debating with friends about movie scenes we never want to see again, I bring up that one. Not many people argue against it. (Makes Ed Norton breaking open the skull of that guy in American History X look like child's play.)

His name is JOFFREY!"” – Reminds me of a music video called Rage of Thrones about people who’ve read the books talking to those who haven’t. In the video clip, a guy is talking to a hot girl he’s picking up at a party and loses it: “It’s Joffrey, not Geoffrey!”

I nod in appreciation re: Strangers With Candy. Poor Geoffrey.
“I know this is hard on you. It would be hard on me too if I broke up with me.”

OMG! You're the Lipton Tea Killer? The guy who cycles around at night, taking in victims and forcing them to drink Lipton until they drown (ala Joffrey trying to dry-drown a man with a wine flagon in Game of Thrones)?

Agree with @avclub-e14267dedd4e1d0cc0093bc13643fd59:disqus - but apply it to the whole thing. I feel like I'm being a hater with my takes on a few shows lately (or maybe I should blame Dexter) but this series is all over the place. Surprisingly and very disconnected, with only some of the stylistic forms still hanging…

@avclub-545a6cf5d728f5c462e5d8722a177baa:disqus I’m assuming you mean the spot in a
certain inner-city cemetery which was built upon a combination of an Indian
burial ground, a pet sematery and a rift in time and space?

I'm fine with autoerotic mummification as long as Masuka can show up afterwards and recount the crime scene in slow-motion with thrusting movements to the sounds of your inner monologue (see: the Lumen/Julia Stiles series). I have to say, that demo inner monologue you've provided is highly to my satisfaction. It's on.

Showgirls. Epic. Own it. Poster I used to own: lost. Memories: never lost.

I'm down with that. I have super long hair Deb-coloured hair too, so I'll straighten it for the day and we can meet, fall in love on the sidewalk and get married on top of La Guerta's Memorial Bench. The bench that was respectably described by all cast as "sturdy" in episode one of this season. It means our marriage…

Well, the whole episode was silly - which is to be expected - but I was pretty surprised by the bits that had me simultaneously irritated and gasping with laughter:

Sansa arriving at the Eyrie: "Hey, Auntie's singer looks like Ashton Kutcher."

Serial killers have an innate ability to sniff out the most flexible babysitters known to mankind.

Giving something an "F" is the greatest "F You" you can give to a show, and I suppose it's not a 100% train wreck yet. I still find Jennifer Carpenter's acting to be decent (the script isn't her fault) and Charlotte Rampling is a good actress - not sure how she got roped into this. Whenever either of them pops up on…

The scary thing is I actually noticed in the last episode that I felt slightly OK with it when Quinn came on screen. Just because he's not a new character. Geez.

"Dumb relationship problems"?!! Are we watching the same show? Are you seriously saying the girl who lived next to Dexter and was murdered, and her two-minute romance with a newly-introduced antagonist, is dumb storytelling?

In defense of the bench, it's LaGuerta's sturdiest, most consistent character performance of the entire series run. Think about LaGuerta-bench, waiting there in the background for Dexter's comeuppance, biding its time, sneering because no one's figured out the bench is the REAL Brain Surgeon.

I've only seen pieces of True Blood until this series, with the commercials being enough to fill me in, alongside the occasional explanation by couch companions…. but is this show "spectacle masquerading as something clever"? I know you're talking about that specific scene (and I admit they did the "Six Months Later"…
