Television Dexter

Oh boy, a water bottle "laced" with alprazolam(not water soluble).
Mistakes like this make me think twice on my view of any show.

I remember in House MD there were so many mistakes with the labels on pill containers (eg. "take one ambien 3 times a day" and the strength was wrong too, something like 100mg IIRC).

But I'm really dissapointed with it happening in Dexter. Please don't fail me Dexter.

This is a mistake that Breaking Bad would never make. In fact BB is super-accurate when it comes to these sort of things.
 
^oh, that is true! the powder would have separated from the water, right? making it obvious
i was always disappointed in factual errors with house too, when i watched it.
my ex had me watch the DXM episode and i believe the whole premise was this guy had to take a shot of vodka with his dxm so it didn't give him brain damage. =[
 
As an interesting aside, death by aconite is nothing like a simple heart attack. A massive oral dose will take a few hours to kill, and by all accounts it's a loud and excruciating death.

LOL yeah came in here to comment on that :)

perhaps it was complexed with something like a cyclodextrin derivative?

- *Finds out what someone's prescription is, get it in powder form super quickly, then bonds it to a complexing agent?
- Possible but very impressive indeed!!!
- Got alprazolam powder at some time in the past and also HPBCD now, so who knows if it is a sound explanation? But it must be possible to get them clandestine. Also doubtful HPBCD makes something hydrophilic.

edit: Oops disregard that, I am still watching the episode and learn now that supposedly pills were dissolved. Well, how bout no?

Sorry for any spoilers.

Jesse: Listen to me very carefully. You are going to give Badger Mayhew the best legal representation ever. But no deals with the DEA! Badger will not identify anyone to anybody. If he does, you’re dead!

Saul: Why don’t you just kill Badger?

[Walt and Jesse give each other a look.]

Saul: I mean, follow me. Mosquito’s buzzing around you, bites you on the ass, you don’t go buzzing for the mosquito’s attorney, go grab a fly swatter! So to speak. I mean, all due respect, but do I have to spell this out for you?

Jesse: We’re not killin’ Badger, yo!
 
Can't believe no comments on the season finalê.
It made up for the previous episode and finished on a high note.
 
The finale was outstanding, arguably the best of the series.

NSFW:
It really completed Deb's evolution; IME, very rarely do you see a series throw in such a stark decision in a finale and stick with whatever unpleasant conclusions accrue from it. The ending kind of reminded me of the old Robert Silverberg story "The Road to Nightfall", which is about a character in a postapocalyptic future where cannibalism is increasing in prevalence. The main conflict is the the man's resistance to to a point of no return (killing humans for their meat), but in the end he gives up and becomes the thing he hates the most. That was Deb this season, to a "T".

I think my favorite quote this season, though, was the one (from the finale, IIRC), where Dexter finally admits that the "mask" he's worn for all these years has become his real life, that it's no longer a mask, and that he's not willing to give it up. Can you imagine the Dexter of the first season tearing up over a woman?

Wonderful season. It will be a very hard act to follow.


Oh, and re: 23536
NSFW:
Maybe Hannah didn't love her friend, but realized that she was ultimately more useful as a potential trump card than just another dead body. In her case, it was a gamble the worked.
 
I've got the first (and I think second) season, and have for some time, and I still haven't got around to checking it out.
 
firstly, it seems very uncharacteristic to me for dexter to be losing control the way he is right now...especially 6 months after the fact (how many times did they say 6 months this episode, coulda made a drinking game out of that...) i don't know. he was so NOT careful...and just randomly killing that guy? although..what deb said really like..kind of made sense? "i'm not lost. i'm in a shitfuck hell, exactly where i deserve to be. all this time i thought i needed you to survive, but it was the other way around. look at you, you're lost." but yet...going back to some season 1 things "if i could have feelings for anyone...i'd have them for deb. she loves me, that's nice" and just..even LAST season he didn't seem THAT concerned with deb except for the fact like he owed it to harry to keep her safe AND she knew all his secrets.
ya know? i know it's been a progression of him becoming more and more human..
i don't know.
it seems odd to me he's taking it like this......................

and then that evelyn voegel lady..wut wutttttttttttttt??? what a cliffhanger..

also, is quinn capable of fucking anyone normal whose NOT connecting to his work in some way? like...really???????? go to a bar dude you can get plenty of pussy that's not a co-worker, a person of interest on a case, or a friend/relative of a coworker. sheesh
 
I love this show, but it makes me go insane sometimes. I was rewatching an episode the other day and people were lying on a beach in Miami watching the sun set into the ocean. Think about that one. Hint:

If I saw the sun setting into the ocean I'd be trying to punch myself awake.

season 1 episode 5 starting at 14:36. Rita tries to console her "Cuban" coworker that the coyote maybe didn't kill her husband, and plaintive guitar music plays as the sun softly descends. Softly.

The sun is even angled way to the NW as if we were in the southern hemisphere.

1. In a couple of episodes, they confuse methylene with methylamine.
2. It is never established why a highly pure compound should be blue.

These two errors might actually be mutually inspired by this compound.
...
If you look for technical accuracy in popular dramas, you'll be disappointed from all fronts.
