PUNCH & JEWELEE in CHECKMATE (2006)
A year ago today Dexter: Original Sin premiered. This TV series is about a young Dexter Morgan transitioning into an avenging serial killer.
You can take a look at my pilot review here.
Or my full season review here.
Dexter: Original Sin (prod. Clyde Phillips).
Showtime's prequel series to its wildly successful and perpetually resurrected, long-running serial killer anti-hero series certainly has some strong Muppet Babies vibes to it, thanks to recasting most of its familiar characters with much younger, mostly unknown actors in their twenties. Patrick Gibson does a fine Michael C. Hall, who sticks around to narrate and produce, impression, but everyone else's version of existing characters feels off, especially Christian Slater taking over for James Remar as Harry. Still, for existing fans, the revamped show sticks to the accepted canon while adding enough lore to keep things interesting.
"It's going to be surprising, inevitable and it's going to blow up the internet. It is, I personally think, the best thing I've written.”
I’m gonna need Clyde Phillips to never write again if this was his best.
And just last week Michael and Clyde Phillips, Marcos Siega and some of the “Dexter New Blood” cast appeared in an FYC Emmy Panel at the Metrograph in New York.
A video with Michael talking about “New Blood” which I will post later was shot by an audience member along with videos from Jack Alcott, Jennifer Carpenter and Julia Jones,
just need this as testimony because clyde here has mentioned this as his reasoning in every interview, if this episode makes no sense to you characterization-wise, it's because they "wrote the show backwards" from the ending, and the ONLY ending clyde wanted to do was this, for apparently personal issue reasons.
men will ruin a storyline just to punish their fathers, and by extension the audience, you can't make it up
