Dexter 5th Season Finale

Yesterday I watched the 5th Season finale of Dexter. I loved it!

(CAREFUL! Contain spoilers!)

I thought this season took a while to really start, but once it did, I really liked it, his relationship with Lumen, and the way it developed was great! for me it was kind of obvious she wouldn't stay, they were so great together that if she did his life was going to be so perfect I don't think the series could go on as exciting as it has... What they can explore now and that can get really interesting is his relationship with his sister, since she kind of "approved" what he did and saved him, even though she didn't know it was him all along...

I'm already curious for what is to come on the next season!

Dexter's Christmas Song

I love Dexter and Michael C. Hall... Yesterday he was on Late Night with Jimmy Falcon where Jimmy asked Michael what Dexter's favourite christmas song was and asked him to perform it live! Of course he improvised and changed some of the lyrics, it was so funny! BTW, he sings really well!

Well, I started to watch again that many DVDs I got for children's day... The Sleeping Beauty was really nice to watch again, I realised that I didn't remember it very well, only the main story. The Beauty and the Beast was my favourite, and I said on the other post that I know all songs by heart, well, that is not quite true because I realised that I know the lines by heart as well!!
National Treasure 2 was OK, pretty much like the first one, fun and dymanic, but that's it.

13.Oct.2010 - 19.Oct.2010

The fourth episode of the seasons are out!

Fringe (Do Shapeshifters Dream of Electric Sheep): that was a close one for alternative Olivia! I liked the episode, but I am glad this means that next episode will be with our Olivia in the alternative universe!

The Big Bang Theory (The Hot Troll Deviation): finally I had the question that has been bugging me forever answered! I always wondered why they never showed Wollowitz and Bernadette breaking up and the series went on and all...

Supernatural (Weekend at Bobby's): A Bobby-centred episode! It was a nice change!

Glee (Duets) was nice... I really loved Quinn and Sam's song!

Dexter (Beauty and the Beast): was very good! His relationship with the girl surprised me and I felt sad for him because of the nanny...

The new series also had their second episode released:

The Event (A Matter of Life and Death) can still surprise you... I like the way it keeps making turns!

Mike & Molly (Mike's Not Ready) was funny. I think I really will watch the show!

And I'm going on with Rome (still in the beginning of season 1) Desperate Housewives (still in the beginning of season 3), Grey's Anatomy (still in the beginning of season 6) and United States of Tara (still in the beginning of season 1) even though I'm still pretty far back...

As for movies, I watched Eat, Pray, Love at the movies (exclusive post), Elite Squad ("Tropa de Elite" in portuguese), Land Before Time and Nigthmare on Elm Street ("A Hora do Pesadelo" in Portuguese).
Elite Squad is a brasilian movie showing the sad story of the brasilian squad specialized in dealing with drug dealers and criminals in Rio de Janeiro. It's a very good movie, but it also really aggressive and depressing.
Land Before Time was really good to watch again! This was one of the movies I watched the most when }I was a kid.
Nightmare on Elm Street is a remake of the original Freddy Krueger movie from 1984. As the originial is one of my favorite horror movies, I just had to watch this remake. I liked it, but I think I still like the first one better.

Supernatural (The Third Man) one word, or better, one name: Castiel! Yeeeeey!! I love himmmmm!! I'm so glad he is back! That was worth the whole episode! Besides that, the story is starting to get interesting now!

Glee (Grilled Cheesus) facepalm for that Grilled Cheesus! OMG, so, so... WTF?! XD but it was a really emotional episode, I loved Kurt's "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"!

The new series also had their second episode released:

The Event (Protect them From the Truth) the ending was amazing!!!

Mike & Molly (First Kiss) so funny and cute! I'm really enjoying it!

I also watched the first two episodes of House's new season: they were pretty good, I'm curious to see how badly this is gonna end ('cause c'mon... We know it's gonna...)

And Haven (episode 12)... The ending was like: OMFG!!
I started to watch the series Rome: watched the first two episodes, it's pretty interesting, let's see where it gets to...

Weekly summary #1

A different idea of bringing a resumé of what I've been watching that didn't deserve a special separated post... (29.Sep.2010 - 05.Oct.2010)

The second episode of the seasons that have just started are out.

Fringe was again really good, but I'm more curious about what's going on in the other universe, this episode was pretty much in the same style as the other seasons.

The Big Bang Theory was really funny! I loved robot Sheldon! Bazinga! LOL

Dexter was good, still curious about what this season has to offer though...

Supernatural was nice. Back to the Sam-Dean roadtrip... Dean taking care of the baby was funny. Back to the origins of Supernatural...

Glee was soooo funny! I know I said that the first episode was kind of ordinary, nothing special, but this one... It was based on Britney Spears, really well-known songs, and with funny details! "Is this real life?" LOL

The new series also had their second episode released:

The Event was also really good, starting to get more interested in this series...

Mike & Molly was funny, this was their first date, I think I am going to watch the series, it's not that awesome, but it's fun!

I may also have gone a bit further with on with Desperate Housewives (still in the beginning of season 3), Grey's Anatomy (still in the beginning of season 6) and United States of Tara (still in the beginning of season 1) even though I'm still pretty far back...

As for movies, I watched Bolt and I am Legend, which I hadn't seen and got the DVDs recently...
Bolt was cute, I didn't know exactly what to except from it, but I enjoyed, won't make it to my top 5 of my favorite cartoons, but was definitely fun!
I am Legend was really good! I remember now people telling me about it when it was released. I really enjoyed it and kept asking myself what the title was referring to, but at the end it was all very clear. I really liked it!
I also watched Tous les Matins du Monde (based on a book) and Planet Terror (exclusive post).

That's it for now... Let's see how this week goes...

Season Premieres

OK, it took me a while to assemble this post, but here it is... After watching the Season premieres of Dexter, Fringe, Supernatural, Glee and The Big Bang Theory, I'm going to say my opinion... (Be careful! May contain spoilers for those who haven't watched the other seasons and the episode in question!)
* In parenthesis are the name of the episodes

The Big Bang Theory (The Robotic Manipulation)

Funny. Like always. That's all there is to say about The Big Bang Theory. I really love the show, it's really great, but as expected, nothing surprising from the plot. But oh boy, they can make me laugh! Loved it!

Supernatural (Exile on Main Street)

Difficult to say. Nothing major from this episode, but as we already knew, this series changed producers because its last thought it should have ended on season 5. After that, I was already thinking this was gonna be just a way of postponing the end of the series because it is very successful, because come on, they have already fought the Devil, now what? As for the episode, we already knew Sam would be back, but now he was not the only one to be "resuscitaded"? If they are going to bring back a bunch of people can they at least bring their father back?? (I love him!) Well, still have to see where this is going, for now nothing major, nothing mind blowing as Supernatural used to be.

Glee (Audition)

Not as exciting as I thought it would be... Pretty much an introduction to the new season, which means: we know where nationals is been held this year: New York, from this info we can be pretty sure that they are going (which is going to be nice! Glee @ NYC!). The new characters are great (Oh my, that little girl can sing!). Besides that, nothing new, nothing really interesting, any amazing song. I liked it, it was still fun! But again pretty much just an introduction... Let's see what else is coming!

Dexter (My Bad)

As the trailer had already suggested, this new season brings a darker, tormented Dexter, lost after Rita's death, for which he attributes all guilt to him for not murdering the Trinity killer sooner. Nothing really new happened in this episode, was more like an introduction showing Dexter's state of mind (OMG the way he just kills that guy in the bathroom) and Quinn's suspition (a new Doakes?). I really enjoyed the episode, I liked to know how was Dexter and Rita's first date.

Fringe (Olivia)

The best season premiere of all five. Eventhough I wouldn't say it's my favorite series from the above, I think it was the most mind blowing season premiere. After last season's finale, which was already so good that made  me think: OMG, Olivia is so much in trouble.... But now came this episode, in which we see that they are completely messing up with her head, so that she thinks she is the other Olivia... Brilliant! Great idea! Waiting to see how this continues...

September, the month of the TV series

For us series addicted people, September is a very promising month... I can't believe the number of new seasons of well-known series that are starting this week and the next...

I will be following: Glee's 2nd season, Dexter's 5th season, Fringe's 3rd season, House's 7th season, The Big Bang Theory's 4th season and Supernatural's 6th season.

I still need to finish Grey's Anatomy 5th season, so that I can watch the 6th season... I am very curious for what people have been saying about the end of the 5th season and by for the 6th season's poster... Very intriguing...

Desperate Housewives is also starting a new season, but as I said not so long ago, I just started watching this series, and for this reason, I am still on season 2, and I don't think I'm gonna catch up that quickly with all these series coming up!!

Besides these, there are still other famous series returning, such as CSI, The Mentalist, Criminal Minds, Two and a Half Man, NCIS and Bones, among others... It is worth checking out, lots of stuff happening in the next couple of weeks!

Dexter: Early Cuts

Looking for information about the 5th season of Dexter (don't know the series? Read about it further down this post!) that is about to have its premiere (Sep. 27). I found out that Showtime has published what they are calling as an "Animated Websiode Series", which as I see it would be something like a series with animated episodes displayed on the internet, about Dexter's early cuts. I am sure that everybody who, just like me, love this series is gonna love these cartoons! There are three main episodes, telling the story of three victims: Gene Marshall (1993), Alex Timmons (2003) and Cindy Landon (2004). Each episode is divided into four chapters of 2 minutes each... I strongelly suggest everyone checking them out! (Link!) Check the trailer down here (if you can not see it, try going through this link and clicking "watch the trailer")

Taking advantage of the post, here is the fith season trailer for those who haven't seen it yet: (Carefull! Spoilers for those who haven't seen the fourth season!)

Now, for those who have never heard of Dexter (IMDb: 9.2, i♥movies: 8.8)... It is based on a very original idea first published by Jeff Lindsay in a series of books, telling the story of a Miami police forensic expert that actually is a serial killer himself who kills criminals he believed have escaped justice... Really original isn't it? Dexter's plot is very well contructed and developped, and you end up agreeing with this loveable serial killer! Hard to imagine, isn't it? Michael C. Hall is also increadible in the role of Dexter (I am SO glad he recovered from his cancer!) I do recommend it to anybody who is looking for a different, involving, interesting new series to watch. I still have not heard of a single person who has tried to watch Dexter and didn't like it! Here is the series promo:
