The long-awaited Season 7 premiere of Dexter was last night, and though I had very low expectations following the disappointing season 6, I was pleasantly surprised. The premiere began right where season 6 ended; Dexter was caught sticking a knife into Travis Marshall by Deb. As she stood there, eyes wide and jaw dropped, the season ended and we were left to speculate what might happen next.

The Walking Dead: Season 3 Updates
AMC’s The Walking Dead is probably the most anticipated Fall premiere coming this year. I think I can speak for everyone when I say the anticipation is overwhelming. The release of little teasers and trailers do help calm me down, but I still crave so much more! Season 3 is going to be amazing! We already know about Michonne, the Prison, and the Governor, so it would be pretty difficult for them to screw this up.
Here are some visuals for you:
The Walking Dead: Season 3 Official Poster
I want a print of this!!
The first two seasons broke records all over the place. I can only imagine how many millions of people are going to tune in to the season 3 premiere! Of course, you can count me in! I am literally wet with excitement for October 14th!
I have thought from the beginning of the series that these episodes seem like short movies. The special effects and storyline are absolutely phenomenal, and movie quality. It would be sweet to see a Walking Dead film! Sadly, there is nothing official in the works. However, according to Uproxx.com, it is a possibility for the future! Apparently, there have been subtle rumblings of a possible feature film to end the series’ running. We are only in season 3, so if it is going to happen, it will most likely be a little while.
There are a lot of different reasons why I can’t wait for season 3. I am curious if I will see the wee little baby this season. With Lori as skinny as she was at the end of last season, I seriously doubt it. If the baby is born, how the hell are they going to hide from walkers? Baby cries -> everyone gets eaten. Babies cry a lot… there’s no way to stop that unless you have a lot of duct tape and a cooperative mother. Unfortunately, I doubt that Lori has ever been cooperative. With anyone. Ever. Bitch.
Overall, season 2 was not the greatest, but I still have high hopes for season 3. They got complacent and knew the fans would follow no matter what. The drama took over. Season 3 promises epic storyline and more of the best zombies TV has to offer.
October 14th- I hungrily await you!
Dexter Season 7: Behind the Scenes With the Cast
There are about a million reasons that I am excited for the premiere of Showtime’s Dexter: Season 7. Everyone I know who is a fan of this show is sick of waiting. The way that season 6 ended left everyone with lots of questions and ideas about what is coming next. I present to you now, a behind-the-scenes video that will titillate you Dexter fans:
The first full trailer that was shown at CCI was absolutely amazing! Everything down to the music playing in the background was perfect. In the beginning of this behind-the-scenes featurette, Michael C. Hall explains that the show is always at its best when Dexter is in hot water. He then explains that season 7 is the hottest the water has ever been. Hall also goes on to mention that everyone else in the past seasons who has known Dexter’s secret has died. He’s not going to kill his sister, and she’s not just going to disappear, so how do they live with the tension?
You see Deb digging into the other parts of Dexter’s life… questioning Jamie, digging through his apartment, looking over old cases… and that is what I am most excited about. Deb is an extremely intelligent character. Her intuition, though, is not the greatest. She somehow has yet to notice any of the clues that piled up to point to Dexter’s guilt in the past. I am left to wonder if she will look back at all of the little inconsistencies in Dexter’s cover-stories, and realize that he has been hiding his true colors his whole life. Honestly, she cannot believe that this is an isolated incident. Jennifer Carpenter mentions that Deb is very powerful and could at any moment just throw cuffs on her brother and put him away. I do not believe that she will do that; Deb has broken the rules before. When Deb caught Lumen and Dexter after they killed Jordan Chase in season 5, she let “number 13 and her vigilante” go free. But this is quite a lot to try to ignore.
There’s also the Louis situation. What the hell is his angle? Why did he send the prosthetic to Dexter? Is that going to change the whole idea Deb has about Dexter? Maybe since Dex bound Travis to the Altar the same way Rudy did to Deb, owns blood slides that look exactly like the ones Doakes collected, and owns the prosthetic from the Ice Truck Killer, maybe Deb will just think that Dexter became obsessed with the killers over the years? Maybe it will help him in the long run.
I have said this a hundred time, but I feel I must say it again… I cannot wait for September 30th! Oh yeah! And we have her to look forward to!
Heart Attack Claims Michael Clarke Duncan at Age 54
I cannot think of anything to begin this with other than this is sad news. Michael Clarke Duncan passed away Monday at the young age of 54. Duncan suffered a heart attack seven weeks ago, and never recovered. The actor was dating reality TV star Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, who according to TMZ, provided life-saving efforts when Duncan had his heart attack.
The actor had a short, but impactful career. Duncan’s first big role was in Armageddon in 1998, where he played Bear. Following that, in 1999, he played my favorite role of his, John Coffey in The Green Mile – the film adaptation of the Stephen King book. Coffey is a man accused of killing and raping two young Louisiana girls, but is innocent of the crime. While on death row, knowledge of his magic comes to light. He can literally heal with his hands. His 6’5″, 300+ pound muscular stature was perfect for the role. This movie was one of my favorites because it is one of the only book-to-film adaptations that I ever liked. I read the Green Mile books (there were 6 in the set), and the film was just as great in my opinion. As you know, that is not usual. I believe that the success of the film was a direct result of Michael Clarke Duncan’s Oscar-Nominated performance.
Michael Clarke Duncan’s talents will be greatly missed. Rest in peace.
Dexter Season 7: Showtime’s First Full Trailer!
Back in mid-July, during CCI, we showed you the first 2 minutes of the season 7 premiere (if you haven’t seen it, click here!). As if that two minutes wasn’t exciting enough, I bring you, friends of the internet, the first full trailer from Showtime!
This trailer could not have been better in any way! I have been excited about season 7. I knew that Deb has now seen Dexter kill someone. I was sure, though, that the rest would remain a secret. I was sure that she’d never find out who he really is. And now? I have no idea what is going to happen… and I love it! Also, they used one of my favorite songs of all time “Change” by Deftones. This trailer makes it seem like season 7 is going to be dark. Season 6 made me really miss Dexter’s dark passenger. It appears that they have brought him back.
