    Stephen King and Dexter? What a lovely combo!

    I felt the same way after reading his Dark Tower. Man didn’t care about anything at all at this point. He assumed he just writes into the table but magically all these pages appear before his publisher. And what caught me there? Not a scene of obscene violence, or hatred, or rape, but a casual description in a third (i guess) book of bees. Since the earth moved, these bees turned gray and crazy, and they built their homes in crazy, angled pattern like what you could’ve heard in Lawcraft’s stories. After reading every piece of madness that Stephen could throw at me, these gray, dying bees is the one thing that stuck.

    I watched Dexter to the end and I’m with you on that. I really liked how he tried his best with her being around. She looked like a cure to his ‘dark passenger’, and that was one thing his directors never wanted. Shit got dragged for 10-something seasons? It lasted too long for it’s own good.
