Still haven't finished Dexter, have the last season on DVR but still haven't took the time to watch them.

I stopped watching after season 5. Got so boring.

Also Fringe. After season 2 I was pretty much fed up with it.

I got a bit fed up with Fringe as well but I'm glad I watched it to the end. It got better in my opinion.

In regards to Dexter the writing began to lack the creativity that I adored before season six, things became eventually really predictable. With season 8 I don't think they were fully focusing on it...throughout the season there had been discussion about a Dexter spin-off. If that is true, then I'm sure that's where their focus lied.

***SPOILER***
A spinoff wouldn't surprise me. Supposedly Showtime told the writers they could do anything but kill Dexter off. That would explain how he rode into a friggin' hurricane and lived.

I think I've just had enough. If they do decide to do a spin-off, I don't think I'll be watching it.

I stopped reading comics YEARS ago, I a Marvel man and I've missed SOOOOO many of the big events. The last one I read was Civil War! I hear Fear Itself was good and Secret War too.

But on a different slant on the topic, one of my biggest desires is for the producers to finish/continue Heroes and Firefly!!! Oh man, but are my fav shows of all time and were definitely cut too short because of knobish executive decisions. Sigh.

Phsyren, i bought the first and then the second book... an then i could not find the rest of the series, until i stumbled across the next seven books in Barnes & Nobles, but conveniently enough, i did not have my wallet about my person. might go back and get them all one day, really want to see if they kill that mysterious guy with that big @$$ gun at the end of two.

In the middle of watching The Wire. Just started season 4 (out of 5). Great series. Deep, really makes you think about drug laws and stuff, no matter what your stance might be. Wish I had more time to watch it faster.

Season 2 was meh, though.

That reminds me I never finished (I think this is what it was called) the Vertigo series of spiderman back in the early/mid 90s

I could not finish Mockingjay... Got halfway through and got bored...
However, cannot wait for the next, and final, Percy Jackson book next year!!!
...they made another book? I stopped with the one where the titans get released. And basically Percy becomes a new Achilles.

Oh wow...Theres been quite a few Spidey comics since then including Dan Slott's controversial Superior Spider-Man...that I actually enjoy.

Has anyone watched the tv show Hannibal? I started watching it...then stopped. It got a bit boring.

Destore117

It's decent. The movies are better.
And anyone watch 666 Park Avenue? I've seen half of it. Miss-matched episodes.

Yeah i think I stopped reading comics at around Spawn #32 if that tells you anything. Now just collect a few here and there.

Yeah I've always loved Todd McFarlane... Spent two years buying every number one issue Image put out when he broke off from Marvel. Even have a bunch of the "Wizard" price guide card inserts to go with the #1's.

Yes. There are 9 books in the series thus far. The first five revolve around the Titanomachy and the second five revolve around the Gigantomachy...

I've been watching The 4400 on Netflix recently... It's interesting for a while but like halfway through season 2 it starts getting boring. Kinda forcing myself to finish it, because I don't like leaving stuff unfinished.
