Dexter really was very good yesterday. Couldn't say that for quite a while.

Yes please do Jvig. I will enjoy it along with the millions of others who do so and will continue to do so while its numbers are propped up by people like you :)

You forgot the part where you continue to not have a reason for why it is a good show.

LaGuerta found the blood slide under that little grate. Was the grate open? Commie says he thinks it was and I think it was still closed. The reason I ask is because that is such a stupid way for her to find it. The crime scene guys were all over that area and she just happens to see it out of the corner of her eye? If thats what happened then it shows this writing staff really hasn't grown an inch since the abortion that was s5. If the grate was open I can maybe get behind her finding it, but I'll still think it was stupid.

Now if the grate WASN'T open, then a more plausible scenario would have been for Mike to find the slide in the grate, since he's an awesome Detective, and then LaGuerta could have found it at the crime scene or in his pocket or something.

Instead one of the most (if not the most) irrelevant character on the show found a slide in a grate out of the corner of her eye? You guys can correct me if I'm wrong.

The case for LaGuerta finding it: It wasn't that far down. Could make a case that the light hit it just right where she was standing. The significance behind her finding it is that she never once believed Doakes was the Bay Harbor Butcher. So now she launches her own investigation to parallel Deb's.

Obviously, the crime scene guys should have been all over that, but this is television. No show is clean of things like that happening.

The case against: LaGuerta is legitimately the worst cop in TV history.

If you don't see it now, you totes cray.

It sucks that the hunters won't be in it.

Pretty much what Brody said here. She is awful. She is the last person who would legitimately find a piece of evidence at a crime scene. The last. I'd be more inclined to believe Doakes rose from the grave and found it before her.

[nepg]

I don't disagree

[vidae]

And I really want to see Zombie Doakes now. Maybe a tie in with The Walking Dead.

[nepg]

can he be a talking zombie Doakes, at least? Because that would totally require at least one "surprise ************".

[Caddy]

What is being discussed in spoiler tags is awesome.

So 666 Park Avenue was trash. I don't really know what I expected to be honest.

[vidae]

It was one of those shows I was instantly not interested in, and those are rare. Sometimes I'll like the studio making it, or the writers, or the creator, or some of the cast.. and outside of Terry O'Quinn it just looked like garbage.

I didn't really see any advertisements or read much about it in the lead up to the pilot. But I like to give everything new the benefit of the doubt just in case it's a hidden gem or whatever. I think I'm one and done with it though. Way too many other awesome shows on/coming soon.

I watch way too much TV and I get way too excited for pilot season, so I'll DVR a tooon of stuff and give most things a shot.. with the exception of CBS shows, but that one was just completely uninteresting to me so I didn't bother.

If I lived in the States I don't think I'd ever leave the house. Fortunately I'm forced to torrent everything which means I often forget/miss shows and then once a few episodes have aired I don't bother to catch up and end up saving myself a ton of time.

[Rosebud]

I hate watching shows from the start. Did it with House, Weeds, Castle, Dexter, Community, Newsroom and New Girl, but I like to give a show a couple of episodes before I start watching. That way the show gets a chance to feel its way out before I decide whether or not to start following it.

[vidae]

I have a lot of shows I've done that with, but none lately. I was really excited for Revolution and it has been solid and I'm a bigger fan of Go On and Ben & Kate than most, but I haven't seen a big blockbuster type of show so far this year.

My favorite so far, Last Resort, was a show I didn't think I'd like at all.

[Brodeur]

The 666 show is actually pretty entertaining, don't listen to the moron.

[Caddy]

I'd say watch it and judge for yourself, but it's not worth the 45 minutes.

I have way too much other stuff I want to watch/catch up on/etc. If you say it's awful and I thought it looked awful that is good enough for me.

On the bright side, Animal Practice was worse.
