TV The Television Show Thread

Re: The Television Show Thread!

I can't believe there isn't a Dexter thread here. It's a really good Mystery/psychological series, due to the murderer of the season and seeing the point of view of a serial killer. ^_^

Did anyone see the promo for the last two episodes...

Spoiler

where Trinity (John Lithgow) finally finds out who Dexter is, kills 'Kyle Butler' and then seems to start stalking Dexter like prey~?

I can't wait to see the showdown between Dexter and Trinity. We all know Dexter is gonna come on top, after all, the show is called Dexter, but how they conclude the season is a mystery and I highly anticipate what's coming up.

Anyone have any good ideas as to how they think they're gonna end the season?

Re: The Television Show Thread!

So, I've been watching 24 with my family these past couple of days. I started at season 3 and we're at season 4. It's good, but way over the top. America should just find their own Jack Bauer and send him to Iraq. If he's anything like the fictional Jack Bauer, he can take out an Al-Qaeda group by himself (plus help from his best friend at the very end).

I already posted mine, though Lundy's incomplete profile and the wildcard relative ruined it. Most of the underlying ideas in my prediction still held, though.

Spoiler

Trinity's going to turn himself in. Why? Because that will make as much since as the wildcard daughter. Just kidding, even if it's the only way for Trinity to survive. Trinity will kill both of the Kyle Butlers, hoping to send "Kyle" a message. Since Trinity doesn't know Dexter's identity, he'll originally presume "Kyle" will get the message in the obits. However, Trinity will get a break when Dexter shows up with the police. After discovering that Dexter works for the police, Trinity will start tailing Dexter. After that, Trinity's going to kidnap Cody or Astor. Whichever one it is will be kept in an undisclosed location. Trinity will go to the department, while on a "field trip" (the perks of being a teacher?), since it's oddly the only safe place he can confront Dexter. Here's his bargain: Dexter must frame somebody else as the Trinity killer (as a forensic scientist, Dexter may actually be able to do that. That's also the only explanation I have for the promo showing Dexter assaulting some old guy in an RV, unless that's just an old clip...in which case, it shouldn't be in the frakking promo).

Beyond that, it's pretty obvious the Quinn or Debra will end up shooting the reporter...or she'll kill herself (runs in the family, right?). However, there aren't any clues as to how she ends up in an apartment, rather than an interrogation room.

Well, some of it was right. Anyway, teaser for next episode doesn't leave much to the imagination.

Spoiler

After the meeting, Dexter's going right after Arthur (think "Arthur, I'm not letting you leave this block"). Dexter will attack Arthur in the parking garage of the police department. Seems Dexter will be having a confrontation with garage security thanks to that. Arthur's gonna get away. After dealing with security, Dexter will continue the pursuit, unsuccessfully.

Arthur's son will tip off the cops, and the latter, during the night, will dig up one of the construction sites (heh, Dexter doesn't appear to be at that crime scene) Arthur used to bury one of the boys. They'll get a warrant for Arthur's arrest. Of course, he won't be anywhere near his house when they storm it, because the dummy son will actually tell Arthur about the "betrayal" long before the cops dig up the body.

Enter Dexter in red, striped shirt. He'll be at Arthur's house after the place is stormed and ask the wife where Arthur is *insert possible Kyle/Dexter name confusion*. Deb confronts Dexter about Laura Moser. Arthur visits the Morgan home. Heh, wouldn't it be hilarious if the neighborhood watch saved the Morgan family?

Now, the question is: Since Dexter already used his house as a trap this season, where will he gain the upper hand over Arthur (can't be that repetitive, writers)? While it would be poetic for Dexter to use the reporter's apartment as his kill scene, he probably won't.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Wahhhhhhhhh, I'm so sad . My favorite defective detective is off the air now . While the series finale of Monk was a little over the top (drama wise) for me, I'll still miss Mr. Monk .

Ah well, Burn Notice should be starting a new season soon.

Oh, I was thinking about starting to watch the X-files, would it be recommended?

Oh no!!! not Monk! I completly forgot it was on its final season.
i'll miss Monk, very fun and definetly one of the best shows I've ever seen on TV. Can you tell me how it ended predsfan? put it in spoiler tags for those sensitive ones.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

The season finally of Glee was good. I like the songs they chose to sing.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

@after
Is it wrong that, despite the fact that the misogynism underlying the show is incredibly transparent, Sue is what kept me watching Glee?

---

Up until the last six minutes of the season, Trinity was a disappointment. However, in those six minutes, he was a demigod.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

@ predsfan - If you liked the show 'Monk,' then you might want to check out the show 'Psych' since it seems a bit similar.

Glee is a great show to watch, and Sue is definitely one of the reasons why I watch the show. I also like her on the show 'Two and a Half Men.' It's too bad she doesn't show up more often. She plays the snarky woman quite well. ^_^

@kaliayev - The way Dexter got Trinity wasn't that great, but the ending was a complete surprise. I was like when I saw what happened. I wonder what'll happen to the family next season... I hope they won't dwell too much on the family next season... The whole reveal about Deborah finding out about Dexter wasn't that great either... -__- Did they ever say if Dexter was Harry's real son or not in the previous seasons?

Re: The Television Show Thread!

The ending sent me wtf'ing, totally unexpected. Who knows, maybe they'll make it a dream, but it would turn the ending completely weak. Maybe next season is last?

Re: The Television Show Thread!

@ ibra: Well, seeing as this season is really popular it's highly doubtful they would want to end the series. Then again, we only know that they renewed the series for sure up to next year. However, I have no idea how they are going to top this season. This season has seriously been the best season so far. I can't imagine that Dexter would've dreamt the whole season. Although, it would be really interesting if they started investigating Dexter for the next season, seeing that it's like what? 90 percent of all crimes are committed by someone close to the victim, and what better suspect than to suspect Dexter. Maybe next season Deb will even find out about Dex.

 

[ibra87]

Re: The Television Show Thread!

I didn't mean dreamt the whole season, just the part of ending. But I am seriously doubting that as well. And we've already had a season (2) about investigating Dexter so they'll have to tread carefully if they decide on the same idea, although it is inevitable (they can't just make a serial killer disobey the law, kill a cop and have a happy ending... I think).
Although in the novel

Spoiler: Novel

Deb finds out that Dexter is a killer when he saves her from his brother (and Laguerta dies) and she keeps it a secret. Maybe they delayed it until now.
But then again, in the novel both Astor and Cody have a "dark passenger" and Dexter teaches them both Harry's code... So if they're following the novel we can expect one creepy season.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

@ibra: Well, only Doakes was investigating Dexter in season 2, besides Deb and Lundy investigating the bay harbor butcher stuff, but no one knew he was that person so they weren't really investigating him. However, this time, the police department could possibly be investigating him personally as the prime suspect of

Spoiler: for Season 4 finale shocker

Rita's killer.

I haven't read the novel(s), but I read that about the two kids. I don't think the show would go in that direction since it'd turn off some people and it would certainly be creepy~

Although it'd be cool for Deb to find out Dex's secret, with the way the character is written in the show, she probably wouldn't be able to handle his secret and would probably turn him in.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Chuck will be back on Jan 10th \o/
I'm looking forward to see if there's an improvement on this season, considering how the second one was (and the fact they reduced he budget for the 3rd season).

As for now I'm simply watching old shows I haven't seen until my shows start to air again =(

Does anybody here watch Being Human? It's a show on BBC3 I'm not sure if it's shown on BBC: America. Just started the second season.

I saw that on bbciplayer. I dont like watching series if i havent watched it from the beginning. But from what i read its like that show on 4 right, true blood? Vampire, love etc etc

 

[goldb]

Re: The Television Show Thread!

Ermm I've seen all the ads for it but haven't seen the new season yet. I'll probably catch it on the BBCiplayer later. How is it anyways?

I watched Chuck last night and I'm so happy they picked up exactly where they left from last season; the jokes, Morgan, The Buy More Group and of course the beautiful Sarah

Well it's not really much about love, it's more about supernatural beings just trying to intergrate properly with society and gain some kind of control over their hidden lives.

Re: The Television Show Thread!

i just finished the 4400 now and searched the forum if there are any threads about it. first of all i wouldnt start watching if i knew it was cancelled after 4th season. you cant imagine how disappointed i am.
second and more importantly , i think there really is a plot-hole in the story , unless it was all meant to settle after 4th season xD
for those who watched the series, i hope you can answer this question for me

Spoiler: DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT WATCH THE SERIES

we all know that 4400 people were abducted by future people and then were sent back to present with special abilities to save humanity from some kind of disaster.
now if you watch all 4 seasons, you will only see 1 disaster and thats the war between ability users and non-ability users.
now the question is , if the 4400 were never sent back, these things would never happen.people would never divide in 2 etc etc etc..it was the attempt to save humanity that actually caused everything to happen and brought the disaster, its a paradox
