Will Trent has never been a popular police officer. The pilot episode had him being hated for investigating fellow officers. That is not something that wins you many friends. Views on police have changed ALOT over the years so someone like Will Trent who publically arrests the only woman he has ever really loved just hits differently now. I am not saying what he did wasnt the right thing but the way he did it didn’t win him any friends. Angie on the other hand despite her many flaws is popular among the other police and always has been. I am guessing everyone was just happy to see her back while no one is particularly happy to see Will Trent who has really done nothing to ingratiate himself with his fellow police. and yes I can understand why Angie is angry at him but I can also understand why Will did what he did. It’s a terrible situation.

I have never watched any of the reality shows that have these idiots (as a matter of fact I wouldn’t mind if these kinds of shows just disappeared completely but they are easy and cheap to make) but I am also fascinated by them in a weird way. I have no issue with religious people my mom is religious. She sings in a choir. She is a member of the Rosario. I have a cousin who goes to church on days other than Sunday and who owns her own Bible and knows how to use it. She asks me what tv shows I watch and I tell her that none of them are suitable for her. Right now my two favorite shows are about Gay Vampires and A soccer team of cannibals. But my cousin is also the one who will order a mimosa at lunch and be the first person to reach into her wallet to pay her fair share. My long winded point is I get religious and I get the reasons why some people are religious. But it looks like The Rods use religion as an excuse to be awful people to others and each other. I also really don’t get what David and Jill even see in each other. Maybe they were different before too many kids they refuse to feed came into the picture. Jill seems to have an inkling of ambition but has no way of making it happen in her current environment. I actually do think if she got an actual job that she would do well in it regardless of lack of education. The problem is she is an awful person who wants god to give her everything and is resentful that God hasn’t.

David is DELEGATING. The ear protection is to show HE is in charge. This is David’s big moment because everyone knows Jill is usually the alpha…..but not when Big Dave is wearing the ear protection. and yeah normal kids are usually alot more animated and loud. But then the Rods aren’t normal. They are “chosen” so their only responsibility is to God. Besides if they talked what would they talk about? They don’t read. They don’t watch tv/movies. Heck they can’t even really gossip about other people because they don’t socialize. These poor kids can only talk about who loves God and Mahmo more.

I like that things aren’t automatically returning back to normal for Angie. Yes we all know she will eventually get her badge back but this version of her sitting inside her guilt (and I do think she is accepting responsibility but also is saying that she did what she thought was right at the time) but not being overwhelmed by it is a good look for her. If the story is going with Amanda and Sunny as roommates it’s going to be an interesting story. A woman used to being alone suddenly with a teenager living in the home is going to be all the right kinds of awkward.

The show was really fun the first couple of seasons mainly because I liked Alice as a character.

I thought the arc did what it was supposed to do. I liked Hannah because she went out of her way to be friends with Brennan. But it was always a last obstacle for both Booth and Brennan to get together. That being said I would have enjoyed a single episode toward the end of the series where Hannah returns needed Brennan’s help and not bring the least bit surprised that Booth and Brennan are not only together but raising a family.

Isn’t that how horror movies start? But seriously in most circles sex without the possibility of unplanned pregnancy would be a good thing but then Jill lives in a world where not being able to have any more kids must push every paranoid button that Hunk would leave her for someone fertile. They will continue to have their Friday night unprotected sex night and if one of them gets pregnant then God is answering. If not that just need to pray harder. Edited to add: These idiots are so uneducated and stupid I am genuinely surprised they even know how to do sex.

Not a bad start. I like how not everything is automatically set back to zero at the pilot. The reason Will is brought back fits tv logic. Everyone has loved on since he left.
-
I forgot how bad this is. It is disappointing considering I think Interview With The Vampire is one of the best shows currently on tv. The whole plot is just sad. I don’t like any of the characters. I was hoping the show would be better but I think I am tapping out.

This show looks interesting by I loath shows where the entire case could essentially be solved by telling someone the truth. If the truth actually matters and it looks like in this case it might then the entire premise is based on people lying just to move the plot and create drama.

Never heard of this before but was checking out things to watch on Max and this is really one of my two favorite genres. The haunted house thing has been done before but I like the premise that it might all be in mom’s mind and that family is already predisposed to be angry at her because she blew up their lives by cheating.

I am guessing (and this is just my guess) is the SMG will be the first innocent person to fall at the alter of Dexter's dark passenger. An early version of Doakes. Someone who starts to suspect something isn't quite right about Dexter but because of her own failings or something else happens no one believes her. As for Patrick Dempsey I am thinking he is more a LaGuerta problem. This also looks like the rise of LaGuerta as well as the rise of Dexter. LaGuerta is an opportunist so she will use whatever opportunity to get ahead and we do know by season one of the OG LaGuerta is Captain so ruining the bro code Captain Aaron Spencer might be her first step to getting there. That is if the Original Sin is a single season story. To me it only really makes sense if it is one or two seasons since we know Harry doesn't live long past Dexter's first kill. Harry falls in love with his source but isn't there to save her because his wife is giving birth to Deb which would be added pathos to Harry on why he can't look at his daughter. I don't think Patrick Dempsey or SMG are going to play major major rolls in the story. Too many serial killers in a single place would get weird. But having one of them be the first person to scare Dexter would be an interesting story.

Poor Deb. Harry fell in love with Dexter before Deb was even born. Heck From episode 5 it looks like he was almost ready to leave Doris for Dexter’s mom (whose name keeps escaping me) before he found out wife was pregnant with Deb. Once Doris died Deb never really had a chance at any semblance of normalcy. Harry and Dexter had a bond and Deb was forever left out in the cold without ever really knowing why. i wonder what Harry was thinking when he woke up seran rapped to the bed with Dexter standing over him. That moment was so many kinds of surreal. Their relationship is all kinds of fucked up. I did like the moment with Dexter at Doris’s grave. Dexter saying what he needed to. He was right Doris likely did look at him like he could be good. I don’t think Dexter really had that again until Rita but that whole bowl of worms is still a bunch of years away.
