In the last episode of 2010 Scott and Steve battle through the snow and ice to bring you some of the latest comics and TV news, as well as some hints about the future Batman movie. They discuss MMORPGs and a new TV show coming next year that looks incredible.

After that it's our second part of Dexter discussion. We get into series 3 and 4, Scott drops some vague clues about season 5, and we discuss what might happen next as Dexter was recently picked up for a sixth year.

We'll be back in Episode 100 in the new year with something a bit fun and special.

We start with the usual news and reviews which is a combination of the sad, the great and the slightly bizarre.  After that Scott and Steve revisit a show that they discussed right back in episode 1, Dexter.  Well into it's fifth season in the US, and season four just having finished in the UK this is a great point to take a retrospective look at some of the highs of one of the strongest shows on TV.

Remember our current book club selection is Masked which we will be talking about in mid-January 2011.  Plenty of time to get your comments in!

Lou Anders is the Editorial Director of Pyr Books, but he also edited the Masked anthology for the Gallery imprint of Simon and Schuster, which is our current book club selection.

As usual, the conversation takes us to some unexpected places.

Welcome to the most squashbuckling of all comic podcasts.  After a shortened news and reviews Scott and Steve get onto the serious business of the ending.  From the end of season cliffhanger to the end of a classic show, what are some of the best ones out there and which ones were dissapointing?  They drift off topic in a couple of places as some of the shows mentioned warrant more discussion!
