I even bring up the unlikelyhood in the post. Do you have to try to pick a fight in every thread in which you post?
Why even post it at all then? What was the point? Please, explain it to me. Because posting that when you knew that it was bullshit makes no logical sense whatsoever.

He is relaying information. Can you deal with that? Jesus fucking Christ.

Alright, let's all start posting bullshit from IMDB that we know is wrong, then. Won't that be fun?

Whatever you do, don't go into the Politics forum. Your head will explode. On the other hand, perhaps your expertise ends at plausible Dexter titles.

Too bad your superior IMDB bullshit sensor wasn't working a few weeks ago.

It reminded me too much of Seven --which was far superior and over a decade old.

I think his point was to post something relevant and not be a dick to everyone.

So lies are relevant information now? Posting known inaccuracies is a legitimate form of forum conversation? I'm not really asking you a question because that's what you're actually saying. That is the "point" you've just made there.

How exactly would you define legitimate forum conversation? Does it involve consistently picking fights with everyone with each and every post? Does it involve never adding anything to the actual topic of thread? Does it involve acting as if you are superior to everyone? Does it involve running and crying to the mods when someone decides to actually respond to one of your ridiculous posts?

Alright, you seem to have some personal vendetta against me, so on the ignore list you go. I don't have time to deal with people who only want to start fights.

If you want to defend people for posting bullshit, go ahead, as long as I don't have to see it.

I, for one, actually believe that the writers have started thinking about season seven. I believe they are thinking about it a lot. I believe they thought about it and discussed it in-depth as they wrapped up writing season six. You know, for continuity's sake. Most writers tend to take that kind of thing into consideration.

Do you actually believe they haven't even started thinking about it, or was that just the first thing you came up with in your mad dash to belittle yet another poster with an opinion you perceive as slightly unworthy or different than yours?

Clearly,
Spoiler:
Zombie Doakes isn't coming back.
But it's an interesting tidbit worth a few message board posts. As a season 7 ep 1 title it could apply in lots of non-literal ways. A recording surfaces. InternBoy comes across a file. A superpissed new Dark Passenger hitches a ride for one episode. A certain someone's paraplegic twin brother is recruited to remotely inhabit a Masuka doppleganger, thereby saving the everglades from corporate exploitation.

I bet the writers have batted such ideas around... so much gets spitballed and shot down in those sessions.

Not that one thing has been decided, written, or titled. But it's absolutely been thought about. Sheesh.

Not in a meaningful enough way as to already have decided on an episode title relating to a character that died in season two, no.

If you do, well, that's...that's something.

See, you want it both ways. You want to be able to use the all-caps word THINKING to mock your imagined foe, but you don't want to be called to task for the utter ridiculousness of your own words.

That's ... that's something.

You guys seem to really like this Doakes rumor or something.

I do. I LOVE this rumor. It's immeasurably better than Trinity, Ice Truck, and all the naked chicks throughout the entire run of Dexter combined into one impossibly sexy spree-murdering slutsaint.

Why do you hate it so much? Why must you mock what you cannot possibly understand? Why can't you let six or seven speculative posts about such a mind-blowing game-changing whirlwind of awesome go unharrassed?

Merry Christmas!

Lingering Loose Thread: I keep wondering about that kill room that Dexter set up on the boat that docks next to the Slice of Life. He better get it cleaned up before the owners get back.
