Been watching the new seasons on Dexter and True Blood, both shows that I've followed from their beginnings

This is apparently Dexter's last season (8) and yeah it's getting a little tired - not sure how it's gonna pan out but I think they're positioning themselves for a happy ending.
looks to me like they're shifting the blame for Dexter's crimes onto the psychologist who claimed she "created" him. Bit of a get out of jail free card for our serial killer hero.

True Blood has kinda taken the same path as Heroes did - killer first season, steadily declining since them, now it seems to have lost the plot, it's a dreadfully de-focused mish mash, vampires, werewolves, witches, mediums, faeries, loads of shit going on.

We started watching a series called Justified (before the TV needed surgery) and really enjoying it. Swiped from Wiki:

Justified is an American television drama series developed by Graham Yost. It is based on Elmore Leonard's novels Pronto and Riding the Rap and his short story "Fire in the Hole".[3] Its main character is Raylan Givens, a deputy U.S. Marshal. Timothy Olyphant portrays Givens, a tough federal lawman, enforcing his own brand of justice in his Kentucky hometown.[3] The series is set in the city of Lexington, Kentucky, and the hill country of eastern Kentucky, specifically in and around Harlan.[4]
I was completely hooked after this scene:

In Episode 2, Searcy confronts Raylan about yet another shooting that, to borrow from the show's title, Raylan claims was justified.

"Put it like this," Searcy says: "If you was in the first grade and you bit somebody every week, they'd start to think of you as a biter."
:laugh:

I'm soooo looking forward to that film, but my dad refuses to go to the cinema with me "with all those kids" :rolleyes:
Can't you go on your own? I used to go to the first showing of the day and the cinema was almost always empty - even at the first showing of a blockbuster. Better still, it was cheaper too! :laugh:

I sometimes go to the cinema alone, but I like watching movies like this with somebody else, that way you can laugh together...
I hope it's still on when I get home, maybe I can drag someone along then :)

I used to go by myself a lot, but I don't really have time any more. Although we did get to see The World's End a couple of days ago, some good one liners but I'm not sure it hits the spot. More viewings necessary.
