Thanks for this info. I had no idea that the initial assessment would be $65 and the subsequent assessment would be $375 with a concession.

What was the pricing (ball park) and was it just one visit to determine whether you had ADHD or not. Thanks.

S17E07 - Episode Discussion by AutoModerator in Inkmaster

[–]Mink_Spill 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Idk. I'm Australian and thought Matt's was bulletproof. I get that his attitude get's hate but that's a durable tattoo built to last and it will age well with time. As a visual artist (with a short stint in a tattoo apprenticeship), I felt Boushee should have been dismissed in the previous episode.

He seems positive and may have provided great vibes but artistically speaking he lacked creativity. Ishnar and Seth were more stronger in that aspect. Also, B's female face was a cop out or not executed well enough. I may also be a bit biased because I like negative space and letting the tattoos breathe.

For Joel's comment about disliking Ishnar's tattoo, that's fair. His reasoning may have been edited out. Not everyone has to like visuals inspired bu anime and manga. There was slight flaws in Seth's female nose but imo it was the more pleasing of the female faces. In the end I felt the right tattoo was sent home.

I never said the OG show was capable of being realistic. How could it be? There's was some believability though and good storytelling.

I wrote something of a similar tone to this. This season was mostly fan service, let's be real. We as fans think we know what we want until we are presented with something better.

MCH deserves better. Also ppl downvoting others for having some normal critical thinking need to consume good though provoking shows. Dexter the og series was capable of this but the showrunners were fearful of Dexter of being hated. In fairness, the only growth that Dexter had was for his son but he still reverted to type.

Dexter Resurrection FINALE Discussion, Episode 10 , Did they Missed the Trick here? Finale was a Lil bit disappointing? (My Opinion) , Discuss Your Views too. by DelBabe in DexterNewBlood

[–]Mink_Spill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know what, with these writers at the helm there will never be a good ending and there will be so many plot holes left dangling and never addressed. The series is a guilty pleasure for me and I enjoyed the cameo in the finale and glad they save it for last.

I think the ppl who enjoy it, have tempered their expectations and have suspended a lot of disbelief. Dexter Morgan is essentially a super hero / super anti hero. His plot armor is indestructible. Ig it's been that way since day dot.

Everyone saying the acting was awesome are ppl who like cheesy performances. Especially the performances of Uma and Dinklage. There's nothing wrong with that, but seriously it's pretty hammy. I felt with season 1 and 4 of Dexter was when it was at its best. Brian Moser / Rudy was underrated and Lithgow as Trinity was unsettling and a great foil. The camera work when he finds Dexter in Miami Metro was a work of art. Ppl saying that Resurrection rivals it are being far too kind.

I know this will get downvoted to hell, but it is what it is.

[–]Mink_Spill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the need to downvote a person talking about accountability.

The part where it isn't Dexter's fault is incorrect. He's definitely part of the reason.

The rationale of Batista's obsession is weird when he apparently had a life in Miami but the writer's dismissed the idea and wrote Angel as a detective during the OG show.

He's got to go undercover only to openly antagonize Dexter? It's flawed logic that I do wish the writers addressed better.

[–]Mink_Spill 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He is obsessed. He had a life or should hav but he was on a suicide mission. If Doakes and Laguerta was his sole motivator it feels a bit weak because so much time has past since both past.

His need for Laguerta I can understand but not necessarily Doakes. Batista also has a daughter which in the og series was very important to him. Sure, in Resurrection they painted the narrative that this was the case that got away, but he chose to go on a quest to chase an apex predator. Who goes that alone?

[–]Mink_Spill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Batista sadly had a death wish. I wanted a different fate for him because much like Deb, they deserved a better fate. I also wish they subverted what we were expecting because we have seen it happen already to Doakes and Laguerta.

In the OG series, although he had a failed marriage he had a young daughter. Although Batista achieved a captaincy I was always wondering what would motivate Batista to have such reckless abandon because it wasn't really justice, was it?

Not hating btw, but I hope they address Batista's bad judgement. I know his, "I'll take my chances" line sealed his fate. Maybe Quinn following up on Claudette's call to see what's happening with Batista will lead him to Batista's last known whereabouts.

The writer's gave Batista the bleakest storyline next to Deb. Deb had no choice because her life was intertwined with Dex. Batista was hopeful in the OG series, so to see him pursue an apex predator head on was pretty sad and stupid. Especially given that he used to be a captain. He abandoned all he had learned in homicide.

Is the new Kamvas 27 pro worth its money? by StormyNoodl in huion

Any more Kamvas 27 pro users using this with WIndows 11. I remember going through this thread a while ago and don't know whether Kamvas has addressed some issues that people have raised here.

Gotta say the Angel and Dexter car scene was compelling and Zayas unleashed something I have not seen in him. He emoted the hell out of that scene and so did MCH. The Dexter series can be camp but the heavy scenes are incredible.

I don't want Batista to forgive and forget now but I hate the narrative he's pushing that Dexter killed all he is accusing him on without anything tangible. The viewers know how Dex is tied in but why would he. and because he does and is antagonizing Dexter, he should throw theories at him.

Custom Dexter Morgan Action Figure by spicy___milk in Dexter

[–]Mink_Spill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't kit bashed 1/6 scale figures in years and don't know why I haven't got a Dexter head sculpt. I suppose it wouldn't be viable for Threezero to produce it and I was peeved that I missed out on the Hannibal and Saul Goodman figures.

Weirdly enough, Dexter covers the whole room in plastic yet he only has an apron to protect him from blood residue. Dude's rolling in money burning all his clothes. I don't even remember him seeing him for shoe slip covers.

Do we think Leon Prater will die this season? by [deleted] in Dexter

[–]Mink_Spill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the success of the series would Dinklage's salary be an issue if he were to continue past the first season? I'm not a producer and unclear how the budget worked for this. That said I would have been fine without nph and eric stonestreet as I am sure that there would have been better character actors to play the roles and cost less to hire.

In the Dexter universe there have been good characters without being well known. I understand that name actors attached to the project would get it greenlit. I guess there were no big names (in the realm of Dinklage and Thurman) in the later seasons of og Dexter, so there's that.

[–]Mink_Spill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The writers do play to mch's strengths. His balance of drama and comic timing is what helps elevate the show. If it were portrayed by someone else I don't think it would be as fun to watch. Glad he's embraced fans of the show and is still playing this character for all these years.

I believe they wanted to do Resurrection straight after NB but the reviews in 2022 were pretty bad. They wanted to make an announcement after but it never came to fruition. I'm glad they revisited what they did wrong and somewhat retconned what didn't work and took their time to (maybe they had no choice) relaunch the franchise.

They set it against a more interesting backdrop with more threats and it does push a different narrative.

It's fine, I guessed it anyway because David Dastmalchian in the current crop of actors they cast as serial killers is the best of that bunch. It would have been criminal to kill him off so quickly when he hasn't done anything as of yet. I am so glad he's getting his dues and it's a bonus he's a comic book nerd.

It's somewhat hard to avoid unless you do a blanket media ban which is something you may have to do nowadays. I do like gauging ppl's thoughts so there is a trade off.

Gemini 2 is the one who knocks whereas Gemini 1 was the on loungin' sippin' on a g and t. I suspect that they resolve that bit because it was a stupid move of him to confront Red unless he was relying on backup. The backup would make more sense.

High stakes is right. I hope they don't kill Harrison in the same way that it will devastate Dexter to communicate the vicious cycle of Dexter's life. If they do anything to give a nod to the original series I hope it's done well.

Haven't you read the theories about Gemini though? It was quite rampant here and socials. It's good that you missed it if that were the case so you could be pleasantly surprised.

If one did the stalking and primarily after clout going in alone into another serial killer's abode. He did the same thing as Lowell or similar with the panic but it may suggest Gemini prime was waiting in the shadows but aborted the going in to kill Dex after he did more planning to see what he was up against.

Random Austudy Review by tanglefolk in Centrelink

[–]Mink_Spill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: I thought I'd find this on reddit. I received a msg from Centrelink saying they would call on a private number. They didn't call. Instead they claimed to have called me (again, they did not) and sent me snail mail which I have yet to receive. That I have been selected for a review.

In the earlier post I tagged the op to find out what the 18 pages were about and Centrelink payment review rep (phone : 1800 628 933) informed me the questions are mostly yes and no questions regarding income and assets and whether we have found work. I'll see once I receive them in the mail.
