Killer Finale

Attended a public screening of the DEXTER season finale on Sunday night, sponsored by Showtime. I'd never been to one of these "season finale parties" and felt the urge to experience the episode as part of a community -- instead of alone in my Tomb.

While the West Coast screenings were graced with appearances from Michael C. Hall and company, the East Coast got producer Clyde Phillips and Desmond "Quinn" Harrington. (I would've snapped some pics but I uncharacteristically left my phone at home in The Tomb.)

There were a series of HDTVs set up and they played the finale off a DVD, though it was played at the wrong aspect-ratio... letterboxed and slightly distorted. It would've looked better at home! WHY?!!

They had these "Dexter-themed cocktails" which were fucking disgusting, red, syrupy-sweet concoctions... and I had sooo many of them...

At the screening, I ran into Nick/Emma's friend Cheryl who happened to be there. Chatted with her for a few minutes before the screening began.

I thought I'd just skulk around in the back but when it started up, I managed to score a seat right in front of one of the HDTVs. During the finale, showrunner Clyde Phillips started taking pics of the front-rowers with his iphone. I initially gave him the evil eye but let him take the picture he was going for. Was hoping I'd find it on some Twitter/Facebook type of network, but there are many Clyde Phillipses and the overwhelming majority of them do not run DEXTER.
