Sorry I didn't reply to you ugh days ago - I've been sick (and I NEVER get sick) for the last week or so (I don't think I've been sick longer than 3 days in almost a decade, it was uber depressing and I have new appreciation for people with allergies and low immune systems). Just looking at a computer screen was headache-y, let alone trying to login and reply to things (TMI: I have used about a forest's worth of tissues... if that is even where tissues come from).
And I missed everyone. I missed this place *hugs comm* and there's been all these little scrappets of news that I was too sick to even begin composing...but I'm like at 75% good now, so after I escape this house tomorrow (FREEDOM AND JUNK FOOD OMG) and then study up on my last, lingering, language exam (Friday, why'd it have to be Friday) - I'm going to be more myself and around and excited-ory, or whatever, IDK I need a new word.
RANDOM: And I think I got addicted to Dexter over the last 4 days. Thanks alot everyone who failed to tell me it got alot better after S1 and that Deb was awesome smh...do you guys know what a bad combo cold/cough + serial killer drama is? I'm lucky I'm not a nightmare person and the only dream I legitimately remember from the last few days is going to KFC (SIGH).
...okay I'm going to curl up in bed now and try and get through this Dome pilot mess.
Thank you, Cory for keeping the show love going. It makes me happy to see new posts and know someone's on the ball :D
Thursday!!! I hope you're feeling better. I've been gone for a week and I missed the whole Miles appreciation post, I need to go and catch up on it.

I have... Issues with Dexter, but I'm glad you're liking it. My brother and I think S1+2 are good, S3 is not good, S4 is great, S5 is ok, S6 is not good. We're halfway through S7, but so far it seems good.
I need to find some time this weekend to go through the appreciation post and spam the hell out of people with late replies.
I'm feeling a million times better now. It really sucked last week. I hate being sick (like, everyone, ever, but still - ugh).
I have... Issues with Dexter
I started watching S1 and then fell out of it, and then I must have seen a post on Tumblr or something and I was all WAH his sister KNOWS and so of course I went and tracked down 6.12 and then somehow steadily made my way through S7 and then backed up, and went through all of S6 and have selected the occasional other episode from S2, S4 and S5...because mostly I love Deb (and I think I've picked up her swearing. LE SIGH. I'm so impressionable) and she doesn't find her confidence until the back end of the series, and then it's shaken all over again but the Morgans are being all honest with each other and it's brilliant so IDC. But the way S7 ended...like WTF. And all the promos and clips for S8 - I NEED IT NOW, not tomorrow.
I might go back after, and watch everything in order...but I like the point Dexter's reached as a character where he's got feelings and he can even speak about them a bit.
My biggest problem with Dexter was that Doakes was my favorite character. I wasn't really connected with anyone else- it took me a while to realize how much I love Angel and to appreciate Debra as a character more (the show only really promoted her once they got rid of Rita and made Jennifer the female lead).
I didn't quite like how Dexter became less and less of a psychopath as time went by and also had the best "luck" in thw world- anytime an "innocent" person (by Harry's code) got to close, Dexter tried to frame them and instead of having to deal with that, or actually kill said innocent person, someone else comes along to do the job for him (I didn't finish S7 yet, though I have heard some spoilers).
Plus everyone at Miami Dade police that isn't called Morgan (or Batista, when they remember he's a good cop) is completely incompetent. I can't believe they somehow managed to solve cases before Deb and Dexter started working there. And Debra's meteoric rise in ranks was pretty absurd and Batista should have been the Lieutenant (I have Batista feelings).
And then S6 started the whole Dexter/Debra thing, which I hate- because even if it's not biological incest, it's still incest and that stupid therapist psychic drived those ideas into Debra's head.
So far I'm really enjoying S7- got two episodes to go, then I can start on S8.

I don't mind it now, I minded when he started having real feelings towards Rita, who started out as just a cover girlfriend, because Dexter knew she wouldn't want sex. I also roll my eyes everytime he mentions his "Dark Passenger" (it doesn't help that it ended up being an alien in the books, IIRC). But I absolutely love those moments when Dexter just doesn't get human emotions/what the right thing to say in that situation is.
Hope you're feeling better! Being sick sucks (although it's kinda how I got into Revolution fandom actually - I had bronchitis and wrote Kink-Meme smut to keep from whining constantly about having bronchitis :D)
You will have half a Charlie week! I'm mad busy this week - damn it! - and next, so I'll only be able to hop in and out. I should be able to do my round-up though :D
