[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I'm having fun working through the comments to Sepinwall's article about the finale, here: [link]
In unrelated news, chocolate and peppermint sure are a great combo.
Heh. Here's one comment for The Wire fans: Maybe Abu Nazir secretly works for the Baltimore Police Department.
For some reason I have an episode of "Angry Boys" on my tablet, that I have no idea why I downloaded it. I noticed it's on HBO now, and I have to say I'm impressed at the total and utter lack of boundaries this guy has. I mean, he'll play anyone, it seems. And say most anything.
I can't work out why it's so compelling. It's not funny, it's not high drama, but it's got such a convincing documentary style I find myself unable to turn away. Especially because I want to see what boundary he won't hesitate to cross next.
I may have to give that a try. I watched Summer Heights High and it was very...I don't even know, I might need to go all Heathers and leave it at that. It was very. The man commits to his characters.
I have a Dexter question--I was under the impression that someone was a figment of someone else's imagination in this past or a recent season.
Am I thinking of another show?
And, no, I don't mean his father--I mean someone we were supposed to think was alive. I know his brother was supposed to be back--was that ever a fakeout?
Edward James Olmos' character was a figment of Colin Hank's character's imagination. (I can't remember anyone's names!) He'd been dead for the past three years or so (killed by Colin), but Colin thought he was still alive and would always have conversations with him and carrying out his orders.
ita !, the mentor of this season's big bad was a figment of that big bad's imagination, he had already killed him.
Okay, let me run to his desk and stick my tongue out at him...
Thanks for confirming my spotty knowledge.
Ha!
I mean, umm.
Guess who hadn't finished the season yet?
Guess who now knows the big reveal?
WELL, HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME HE WASN'T CURRENT. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW???
