Today was Showtime’s turn before the same Television Critics Association crowd that eviscerated Michael Patrick King yesterday over charges that 2 Broke Girls trades in crude racial stereotypes. This time around, the critics wanted to know from Showtime head David Nevins what Dexter plans on doing with the disturbing, incest-lite premise >
Dexter
Fire / Ice The Secret Circle, Season 1 The Secret Circle Genre: Sci-Fi & Fantasy Price: $2.99 Release Date: January 12, 2012 Cassie asks Adam for help when she wants to look into her father's past, and their search leads them to an eerily familiar place. It also rekindles an old flame when Adam, thrilled to be spending time with Cassie again, asks her to the Fire and Ice dance. But because of her friendship with Diana, Cassie is forced to give a surprising response. In an effort to be a better father, Ethan (recurring guest star ADAM HARRINGTON – Dexter) offers to chaperone the dance, much to Adam's dismay.
Reuters – Showtime just made a deal for two more “Dexter” seasons that were widely expected to bring the series to its end, but Showtime entertainment president David Nevins says he reserves the right to keep it going beyond that.
AP – Would the sex, drugs and rock-n-roll fueled TV show “Californication” be worth watching without the sex, drugs and rock-n- roll? What about serial killer series “Dexter” without the gore?
Oh no, we just realized something: There’s only one week left in our Top 100 Everything of 2011 countdown! It’s been so much fun, maybe we should do this all year long in 2012? Let’s see, 52 weeks in a year, 50 items a week, that’s… TV.com’s Top 2,600 Everything! Consider it done. J/K, it will NOT be done, but even if it were done, Whitney probably still wouldn’t make the list. We’ll be posting 10 items each weekday through December 30, so check back often to see what made the cut! 50.
This season of Dexter promised to provide an exploration of faith and the potential pitfalls of giving yourself over to a higher authority. But after 12 episodes of muddled, incoherent references to religion, it became clear that only one religious element would be given any serious exploration: redemption. And not for the characters; for this season . Would such a consistently sub-par Season 6 have any redeeming qualities?
Reuters – (Spoiler warning: discloses what happens in season finale) “Dexter” is a show obsessed with blood. So maybe fans shouldn’t have been so surprised — to say nothing of shocked, baffled, and repulsed — by the so-called “incest” storyline between siblings Dexter and Deborah Morgan this season.
This week’s episode of Dexter was titled “Talk to the Hand,” which, even though it’s obviously supposed to refer to a severed hand, is still basically Level-1 punnery. Used ironically or not, that phrase is about as hacky as possible, so it’s a truly fitting title for a Season 6 episode. Look, I’m kind of tired of pointing out that this season is terrible. I’m tired of it, and you’re especially tired of it. Let’s just accept it as fact and move on
Life is funny. One day you’re tracking Miami’s most notorious Christian extremist, and the next day you realize he’s been dead in a freezer for the past three years. Poor Dexter! Dexter’s really had a bad couple of weeks, you guys. This season promised to be an exploration into the nature of faith, and in particular the effects it may have on Dexter’s Dark Passenger, but instead it’s turned into a ten-episode (so far) testament that maybe Dexter needs a new hobby?
“I know what I’m doing.” —Dexter Morgan. This statement should have been true—no, would have been true—if this were a better season of Dexter . Dexter Morgan’s sickly superior pathology has always been the focus of this series—his killer instinct, his heightened senses, his ability to remain several steps ahead of his co-workers, targets, and we the viewers. That’s the Dexter we tune in for: a guy who operates at the top of his game. Unfortunately, this is Season 6, a season that until this point I’d feared was >
