Well the problem I had was the fact there was only one officer on the roof looking out for Travis, you'd expect at least two? Which explains how he got out unseen as well ;) (service lift?).

yup, when it cut to that seen i was like WTF one guy, seriously. :laugh:

The way Dexter was able to get Harrison and Travis off the roof was simple: TV Magic. It's the same reason why we very rarely see characters eating out of necessity, but only at dinner scenes, or why on 24 no one ever has to eat or go to the bathroom for a whole 24hrs, and Jack Bauer can move across the whole damn city and stop terrorist activities so quickly. It will never make sense lol.

Was a fan of the season right up until the deb has feelings for her non-blood related brother. Just creeped me out too much, I am sure it is all very possible but I just dont think the writers had to take this path. Also not a huge fan of deb being a witness now, it leaves Dexter very few options. Oh well, even with these problems I have with the show its still one of the last entertaining shows I have left.

In the end, if Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter can't stand each other while on set, maybe it's time for someone to leave, and it's not going to be the star of the show.

Bingo. Just a theory of mine, but this could be the way to end their "great friendship" after getting married and divorced. :laugh:

And I think the whole theme of this Season was Dexter was being careless and sloppy. He messed up multiple times, very unlike him, but you can say it was all because of Harrison ultimately. I think it is a metaphor that parents do not always do the right things even though they have the best intentions.

I agree with you, but 24 is just on another completely different planet of inconceivability :D

I'm seeing a lot of people write Deb off the show because of Carpenter's relationship with Hall, but I wouldn't be so sure about that. In a recent interview with Parade, she stated, "It's sacred for an actor to keep their personal life personal. I would like to reassure all Dexter fans that the show is and always has been paramount. We?ve always done a nice job of protecting it and each other. We play important roles in each other?s lives and always will. Our friendship is true and strong and always will be as far as I?m concerned."

I thought that was more rumor and they got over their differences.

I actually read the interview, and also Howard Stern has been talking about Hall a lot lately as Hall was a guest on a show called Geektime that Howard has on his SiriusXM channels that is about all things geeky and Howard was reading lines from this interview (and granted, more or less making fun of them). But I am just going on the hunch that it is damn hard to maintain a professional relationship with someone you were married to. And I also feel that not for nothing Actors are a pretty eccentric breed at the end of the day that are real good and saying the politically correct thing about their costars. As I said it is just a theory and I could be way off, but just looking at the whole situation from the outside, not knowing anyone involved other than their public persona, I just feel that is an awkward situation for anyone, actor, plumber, teacher, garbage man. So really just going off of that.

Regardless of the personal drama (or no drama depending on who you listen to), I'm really interested to see how this all plays out next season. I'm hoping they bring Dexter back to how he used to be though, with more killings of criminals than waiting most of the season for 1 big kill. It's just not quite as satisfying. The other kills are like the appetizers because you know what's coming, but still can't wait. This time, it was just pretty random all around.

ZOMG this show creeps me out.

BUT its getting amazing! Debra will find out, and they will do the nasty.

I don't find it creepy, just a bit ludicrous so far but that can change depending on how they explain it.

Basically we're to believe that Deb (from everything thats suggested in the show) never had any physical attraction to her brother before, but since her psychologist's theory "makes so much sense", she now feels like she needs to have sex with him. She doesn't spend more than a day thinking over whether her psychologist is right. She had a dream about it the following night, so she must be right.

Of course, Deb seems like a very insecure person who, because she's always in self-doubt, is very impressionable. It would be more believable that she was too easily led on by what her therapist was saying than she actually was secretly in love with him. And her therapist would, of course, be horrible at her job for not realizing that possibility.

We'll see, I guess.

just started Season 6 E1 :)

No spoilers please

The season finale was almost 2 weeks ago, it's too late to say no spoilers lol. If you don't want spoilers, reading this thread is a bad idea.

In the end, if Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter can't stand each other while on set, maybe it's time for someone to leave, and it's not going to be the star of the show.

How do we know they don't get along?

As for Dexter, I find Deb extremely attractive especially when she cusses all the time. They need to have her be slutty again like the first few seasons, ha.

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
