Warning: The following clip contains a spoiler alert for those who haven’t seen the last episode of season 6. Showtime has released a clip of the first two minutes of the seventh season of Dexter, a chilling scene that picks up right where last season’s cliffhanger left off. Season 7 begins with Debra catching Dexter embracing his “dark passenger” and trying to explain what happened in the highly-discussed season finale. Although it clears up a few questions — how will Deb react to seeing Dexter in that situation and how Dexter will try to clarify things — it’s hardly a spoiler. In fact, the clip ends with yet another massive cliffhanger. The season premieres on Sunday, September 20 on Showtime at 9:00 p.m. ET. What do you think of the two-minute preview? Will Dexter be able to talk his way out of this one? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. BONUS: 5 Modern TV Shows Recut as Classic Sitcoms 5 Modern TV Shows Recut as Classic Sitcoms 1.

Image: Peanuts Worldwide It’s been 64 years since Charlie Brown first stumbled into our hearts and morning paper. The first Peanuts comic, shown above, appeared in nine newspapers on Oct. 2, 1950. By the time the comic ended in 2000, creator Charles Schulz had published 17,897 strips — which continue in reruns to this day. For more than six decades, children and adults alike have grown to love the Peanuts gang and “the great American un-success story” that is Charlie Brown. From his comics to cartoons, to films that have become a family staple, Schulz’s characters taught us valuable lessons about love, friendship, acceptance and the harsh realities of growing up. To celebrate the anniversary, we’ve gathered our favorite memorable Peanuts moments. Share your fondest memories in the comments below.

Oz The Great and Powerful Sam Raimi debuted the first teaser trailer for his Oz origin story at Comic-Con on Thursday. His first flick following the Spider Man trilogy, Oz stars James Franco, Rachel Weisz, Mila Kunis and Michelle Williams in this whimsical and dark tale of how the West came to be so wicked. We can’t help but wonder, is there a green Kunis in store? 3. Wreck-It Ralph John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman promoted their new animated Disney movie, along with director Rich Moore in Hall H on Thursday. The flick tells the story of 8-bit arcade menace Wreck-It Ralph, who opts to quit his villainous day job in search of lighter pastures. Attendees caught a 10-minute preview of the movie, which in part revealed where villain group therapy takes place: at the center of a Pac-Man board. 4. Frankenweenie Tim Burton’s presentation of Frankenweenie drew a decked out crowd of superfans, dressed as some of the director’s most iconic characters. Burton said it felt like a visit from his family—that is, a family of 6,000. He says that this homage to horror and humor stems from personal experience. 5.
