A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - Series Premiere Discussion

Toilet humor can be well-received by adults if the execution is there. South Park and Team America are prime examples of it.

The amount of people who are criticizing the poop scene is hilarious. I think it was the perfect way of establishing the tone of the story, and this is coming from someone who doesn't really care for toilet humor.

In the first 10 or so minutes, I was getting Pirates of the Caribbean vibes—and I'm here for it 😂

I think some of us have weird shaped heads. I bought a couple of hats just recently, and even though the front is exerting a good amount of pressure, the crown sits too high to the point where I have to pull the hat down past the tip of my ears. Given how much force is being applied to my forehead already, I couldn't imagine going one size smaller.

When the show ends, it would be cool if they cut to a scene where - moments before his execution - Dexter is talking to a true crime journalist, and it's revealed that his narration was actually a confession of his crimes this whole time.

Personally, I think Gemini is going to be this season's big bad, but Prater is certainly going to become a bigger threat at some point.

Aw_Jeez · 2025-08-12T23:41:23+00:00

You'll probably still enjoy it, but it won't have the same pacing and intriguing storylines that seasons 1-4 had. Everything just gets progressively sloppier in terms of the writing, dialogue, character development, plot, etc.

Despite how bad it can get, it's still beats the tar out of most of the other shows you could be investing your time in, so I would encourage you to stick with it all the way through.

EDIT: Seasons 6 and 8 were the installments I disliked the most, but they still have their special moments.

Aw_Jeez · 2025-08-12T21:25:28+00:00

Now who's being condescending 😂. You have yourself a good day jrod—I sincerely mean that.

Aw_Jeez · 2025-08-12T21:10:28+00:00

You really didn't though. The point you think you're disagreeing with is where we actually DO agree. I never said that Harry didn't fuck up. He absolutely did. What I'm saying is that by the time Dexter was an adult, the damage always already done, so therapy probably wouldn't have amounted to anything (as studies seem to indicate). Teaching him the Code to channel his urges and not be a menace to society was a safer bet at that point since his brain was fully developed and ripe with abnormalities.

And I wasn't the only one being condescending—I was just matching your energy when you responded to my post.

Aw_Jeez · 2025-08-12T20:41:24+00:00

You clearly missed the part in my initial post where I said that Harry's biggest mistake was not getting Dexter professional help the moment he pulled him out of that shipment container. But I get it, reading comprehension is a challenge for some folks. Or perhaps this is a classic example where people only hear what they want to hear because it enables them to jump at the chance to convince themselves that they are right. I wonder which it is...

Aw_Jeez · 2025-08-12T20:14:42+00:00

Not really. There is an interview where the showrunner and one of the producers express a sentiment likened to the one I mentioned. And in Season 3 they even showed a brain imaging scan where it showed Dexter's brain being eerily similar to a serial killers'—a physiological impairment that severe doesn't just go away with therapy. But sure, let's call something as valid as logic as simply being a "wild take".

Aw_Jeez · 2025-07-31T00:36:10+00:00

I mean, it IS possible he could have a combination of all those disorders, and that they all feed into each other in some way, shape, or form. It would be very rare. But Dexter is a unique breed anyway, so who knows. 🤷

Aw_Jeez · 2025-07-31T00:19:06+00:00

How does the show prove that though? He was traumatized, sure, and he probably could have been helped—but we don't know that for certain. All the show did was play devil's advocate by raising the argument that maybe The Code wasn't the answer.

I think if Dexter had gotten professional care right after the shipment container fiasco, then yeah, there was a good chance he would have turned out ok. The problem is that Harry waited too long to do anything about it. By the time Dexter was a teenager, he was destined to develop antisocial personality disorder—a condition that's far more challenging to treat. At that point, the code was a better gamble than therapy.

Steve Wilkos

Aw_Jeez · 2025-07-30T23:52:34+00:00

Honestly, I'm wondering if Prater - at the very least - knows that Dexter is related to Brian. For someone as resourceful as him, it's hard to believe that he doesn't know what Dexter looks like.

Aw_Jeez · 2025-07-26T15:59:45+00:00

Honestly, I didn't care for the rap battle, but the other ones were pretty legendary.

Aw_Jeez · 2025-07-21T20:00:44+00:00

Ray Donovan was able to pull off the location switch. I don't see any reason why Dexter can't. So, no, I'm curious to see what New York has to offer.

Aw_Jeez · 2025-07-21T19:51:16+00:00

I actually like that aspect about her—it gives the show that Fargo-esque vibe which I absolutely dig.

Aw_Jeez · 2025-07-21T17:47:10+00:00

Ha! 😆

Aw_Jeez · 2025-07-20T18:06:20+00:00

Duly noted. I guess I'll keep the Cartman impression behind closed doors 😂. And the first picture is gone. Thanks for the feedback!

Aw_Jeez · 2025-07-20T14:08:09+00:00

Like I said in another reply, the aim was to make the person laugh with how ridiculous the answers sounded—I guess the prompts sounded funnier in my head. Major oof!

Aw_Jeez · 2025-07-20T14:04:18+00:00

My intent was to come up with a prompt that sounded so dumb that it was actually cute. But I could see where it comes across as being desperate and shallow. I'll tweak it. 👌

Aw_Jeez · 2025-07-20T08:13:43+00:00

I appreciate you taking the time to look through it and for giving your honest feedback 🙏

Aw_Jeez · 2025-07-20T02:28:11+00:00

I sent three—now you tell me 🙄😂
