I haven't gotten back into The Walking Dead this season yet. I don't have cable, so it involves paying iTunes for the episodes and--well, I'm too busy watching free shows right now. Come this winter I'll probably have a marathon. :) But that show is so scary, I have to watch it on my computer with headphones on so that Graeme won't accidentally hear the (TERRIFYING!) soundtrack. :D
I've never seen Dexter.
Oh! I forgot about Revolution. I, sucker for all things desert islandy and nuts and bolts survival, had hopes for that, too. Daniel gave up, pretty much immediately, because of the whole science-doesn't-make-sense aspect. It drove him *crazy* that some random things would stop--even combustion engines. I don't know why these things have to become all Lost and magic and conspiracies and whatever instead of sticking to a basic premise like, "Holy shit, our global population is about to take a terrific swan dive because nobody, anywhere, has electricity." Why doesn't anyone ever make *that* show--where suddenly doctors have to operate back in the Dark Ages, with knowledge but little to no equipment or manufactured drugs--where local communities have to pull together because there is no shipping or transportation options to make your new world anything *but* a local affair. Instead it's like Lost and Hunger Games had a weird Fireflyesque baby. I'm just not sure how long I can hold out there and hope for interesting insight into their real-life problems, outside of militia and military dictatorship filling the voids left by government.
