So episode two was really great, I have high hopes for the rest of the season. They know what they’re doing.

Showtime/Paramount just posted the full first episode of Original Sin on youtube

Just finished the 2nd season of Squid Game and even without expectations I was disappointed.

SPOILERS AHEAD

The main reason I didn’t anticipate a 2nd season is that the first season ends it perfectly Song won and he went home with the money, there was no reason to continue.

I do think they managed to get Song back into a new game in a creative way,

but,

the ending was awful, the ending of HIMYM seems decent in comparison

I just wanted to vent not to explain :heart:
But yeah it’s mostly the ending

I have to vent about this, I’m banned from reddit for ban evasion and advocating piracy so I can’t do it there. There’s a popular perspective that has essentially been solidified as fact on the Dexter subreddit, and that is that New Blood retconned Dexter’s use of M99 (etorphine) in the original series by having him connected to the BHB case through his present-day use of ketamine. Some people on the subreddit call this a retcon, others call it an error. But it is neither. The writers clarified in interviews that since etorphine and ketamine are in the same family of drugs and are so similar in composition that they are often confused for one another in real-world autopsies, that is why Angela states that the BHB victims were found with the same drugs in their system as the Iron Lake victim. Could this have been clarified better on screen to avoid confusion? Definitely. But is it a retcon or an error? No, it is not. It’s become accepted as fact that the writers made a mistake but they did not. Now is it arguably a retcon that they found drugs in the systems of BHB victims at all? Perhaps, it was never said if they did or didn’t initially. But there is no mistake regarding the actual use of the drugs in either show. There is no conflict, no retcon, no error, and it drives me insane that nobody seems to understand this.

Oh and Resurrection has begun filming.

Never heard the theory of Dexter changing the sedative, I always just thought it was an error. I didn’t know M99 and ketamine we’re closely related chemically, so I guess it makes sense that it could be confused, because all the information on the BHB investigation, other than the framing of Doakes, came from decomposing bodies that were left in the ocean, so the official reports could have easily confused which chemical was used.

However, didn’t Dexter himself mention in inner-monologue that he uses ketamine? That would definitely be an error, because he knows good and well, and mentioned it several times, that he used M99, and he’s too meticulous to just switch them up in casual usage like that, or forget which one he used after a measly ten year abstinence. So, unless I’m remembering wrong and he never actually said ketamine in New Blood, then it’s definitely an error as well.

He did not, he only internally confirmed that he knew about wheal marks when Angela presents him with photographs from BHB victims compared to Jasper Hodge. The show never states that he used ketamine in Miami, it’s only been interpreted that way because of the show using it to connect him to Miami.

Can’t wait for this. I love the Netflix Daredevil series, and this looks like it’ll pick up right where it left off (albeit with a gap of a few years (the snap?))

I am a bit worried that they’ll kill off Foggy or Karen early on, especially now that the trailer implies something’s happened that made Matt stop being Daredevil. This would be upsetting to me, but not in a good way (i.e. the end of season 1 of Game of Thrones).

I think that was the original plan before the whole script was thrown out and from what I heard, thank god for that. The Netflix version is the standard Marvel is going to try to meet.
