This week, they learn about dogging.
Welcome to the World of Gatiss. Just as an episode from Moffat means feisty women and spoddy whizzkids, so from a Mark Gatiss episode of Sherlock, we can reasonably expect dead daddies, suspicious offal, and Kensington gore. In this case, served up with devilish humour and abundant references to Withnail and I. Onwards: for science, UST, and daddy issues!

A botched marriage proposal, a new BFF for Dexter, a powerful ADA starting to come unhinged, soda pop torture, and more in this week’s Dexter recap!
Hey, boy: ever had a Glasgow kiss?
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that a man without honor (in the Game of Thrones) is a man who keeps living. (Do a quick tally. See?) And a reminder for any new folk who are coming over (and welcome!)—this is a spoiler-free zone. I’m not a book reader, so it’s all new and exciting to me and a large portion of the readers here.
Now that I’ve got you properly wooed with my sweet talk, let’s get to some naked Theon! (Pfft, what a boner-killer.)

Now that the whole Lila business is behind us, we can jump right into the most nerve-wracking and uncomfortable season we’ve covered so far. Crazy will reach a whole new level in so many ways as things become tangled and insanely complicated for our favorite serial killer. How is Dexter doing nowadays, anyway?
“What the hell happened?”
“She’s following her dream.”
“I sure as hell didn’t get to decide what I wanted to do – my father told me.”
“I was raised in the 30s. My dream was indoor plumbing.”

I love Sister, she loves me. We love Brother, yessirree!
Not one minute is wasted from right out of the gate this episode, so better take your potty break, get a fresh drink, and snap into a Slim Jim right now, because it’s a hold-your-breath event from here out. (Mostly because Slim Jim breath is really gross, you guys. Never trust a food that you can wring grease out of, or that “Rowdy Rod” Piper endorsed. He’s dead, okay? I hope you’re proud of yourself, now.)

EIGHT TONYS, HELL YEAH!
Extra extra! (I know “extra” jokes are so played out by this point, but they’re also funny.) Newsies is one of the best things going on Broadway right now. Of course you don’t need me to tell you this, since it just got nominated for eight Tonys, including Best Musical. I reviewed the cast recording a few months ago, and promised to do a proper show review once I’d seen it. Well I’ve seen it now, and let me tell you: the music is only half of what makes this show so amazing. I don’t trust myself to write in paragraphs without turning this review into a giant run-on sentence of gushing, so let’s do it bullet point style!
(Fun sidenote: the book was written by Harvey Fierstein. Did you know Jeff Goldblum’s boss from Independence Day was a brilliant writer? Neither did I.)
We’ve come to the end of another season of Dexter. Is Dex going to be able to get himself out of the mess he created? Will he really let Doakes take the fall for him? More importantly, will he let him live?
“Who knows why people in history did good things. For all we know Jesus was trying get the loaves and fishes account.”
