Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Someone suggested they should have just played the Vince Young title game every single day at the same time. That was a good idea.

It was on pretty often.  I stopped to watch it more than a few times.

In the series, Peter Dinklage plays a rich guy obsessed with serial killers. He has his own fan club, and has tracked down 5-6 killers of note and collected memorabilia from them. Some of the memorabilia includes items from un-caught serial killers, who he knows the true identity of, and some he doesn’t know. He invites a few SK to some sort of SK retreat, and they basically party together. 

Dexter has infiltrated this group, posing as another SK, whom he killed a few days earlier. 

One of the treasures Dinklage’s character has acquired is a set of blood slides from the Bay Harbor Butcher. Everyone still thinks the BHB was a different cop from Miami named Doakes. Dexter framed Doakes in the original series.  

Anyways , in the course of the show there is one NYC detective that is really intent on catching a different murderer, who happens to be Dexters son Harrison. Harrison killed a guy, but he’s not really a serial killer, he just has anger problems and was trying to prevent a rape. 

Anyways, the show alludes to one serial killer, the New York Ripper, who was never caught. Dinklage has the hook he used to kill with, and has made several references suggesting he knows more about him 

The last episode comes out soon. Anyways, I personally think the New York Ripper will turn out to be the really focused NYC detective. They may save that plot line for next season, but I’m fairly certain they’re building up for something. 

New York Ripper: 

I recently watched Chad Powers on Hulu.  It's a comedy inspired by Eli Manning's viral under-cover walk-on tryout at Penn St., though the show has nothing to do with that, and the Chad Powers character is quite different.  But it was genuinely funny.  I generally dislike comedy shows within the last 10 years or so, but this had plenty of moments that actually made me LOL. 

Also recently saw the first season of a show called "From," which is (I think) an MGM+ show, but the first season was recently available for a short time on Amazon as a promotional tool.  So I haven't seen other seasons that have come out so far, but at some point I might subscribe to MGM+ for a month to keep going with it.  It has a definite "Lost" vibe, and that show had it's pros and cons for sure, as does this one, but it was interesting enough that I'd like to see where it goes and if the writers can do better with it than Lost did with that one.  

Finally, right now Amazon also has the first episode available of an Apple+ show called "Pluribus," from the creator of Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, Vince Gilligan.  It stars....um....I can't think of the actress' name, she played Kim Wexler in Better Call Saul.  Anyway, it's completely and utterly different than either of those shows, but still displayed signs that affirm Gilligan knows how to quickly capture my attention.  I'll probably wait until the next season of Severence comes out to cut Apple+ back on, but I wouldn't mind keeping up with this one when I have it.  

I wonder if the rules of war (Geneva convention) were less about humane treatment of soldiers and decency towards civilians and more about just determining a winner and a loser.

If you're in a war and your existence is at stake, you scratch and claw and do whatever fucked-up things you have to in order to survive.  But then whatever horrific things you do, the other side then does.  You wind up in a never-ending war where generations of men die or are maimed and it generally screws up your society for decades.  So even if you do survive the war, what was it for?  You don't have anything left to do anything with.

If war is an event with rules, it shortens it and allows at least one party to go on with a functional society.  And ideally, the losing side is folded into that society going forward....not ideally for them, but for the overall populations involved.
