eddie Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 No it wasn't! They'd have said "Good night, Sissy-boy". I stand corrected. Incidentally Richard Thomas (John Boy) went on to give a thoroughly competent performance of Paul Baumer in the remake of All Quiet on the Western Front. Saying that, I have no idea why a remake was necessary. The original 1930 film is a masterpiece of cinema, and a faithful adaptation of Erich Remarque's book. The original film features the only scene in any film which is guaranteed to render me to a gibbering, tearful wreck. Edit - one of two. I've just remembered the ending of Schindler's List Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It peaked with Trinity tbh, it was never as good again after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the stuff with the Ukrainians very cool The Trinity Killer was absolutely fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I won't say too much if you haven't seen the finale yet, but I was distinctly disappointed with where they went with it at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following that was always going to be tough. Ideally, that would have been the final season. They seemed to struggle in coming up with something to top that storyline, and of course in the end, they couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with alot of tv shows is they dont know how and when it is going to end, those that do (ie breaking bad) can plan ahead and have say all 4 series planned out and ready. Shows like Dexter get dragged out longer and longer to make more money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows like Dexter get dragged out longer and longer to make more money From memory, they took Dexter one season at a time. As in, ok we know we're not going to be ending at the end of this series so we need a season-long storyline but we don't need to wrap up the overall series arc. They DID know in the final series that there wouldn't be more, and they had an idea of where they wanted to go. Without going into detail and spoiling anything, what they wanted was overruled by Showtime, who wanted something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I've finished all 8, what the **** was series 8? A clusterfook. The final episode really narked me, such a cheap way to go for the 'emotional impact' ending. Not the writers' fault though, they wanted to 'go another way'. Thanks Showtime, FFS......

It started to lose its way at the end of series 5, with Deb letting them go. thats when characters started to act like absolute retards making decisions that they wouldn't make. They kept adding increasingly unlike-able characters and ones who served no real purpose, looking as Masuka's daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
