Dexter

[ChrisTheCop]

the first one is Darkly Dreaming Dexter and I cant remember the other 2...i will check when I get home..I have no idea what is going to happen but if you want contact me so I can tell you what has happened in the book..I dont want to spoil it for anyone who wants to or might read the book..I will tell you there are some major differences

Thanx budday for not spoiling it. I love this watching the show unravel, and I guess knowing theres books out there, and wanting to still keep the audience surprised, there would have to be some changes made.

And StupidGirl, no he left the guy lying in a pool of blood in Naples, but did not kill him. Lila talked him out of "using".

[Servo]

I'll put this in spoiler vision, just in case... doesn't really give anything away, but it's about the first book...


I found that the major differences between the first book and the first season of the show are due to the fact that if the show followed the book exactly, it wouldn't translate. A lot of the first book is Dexter's own internal dialogue, and not enough of the kind of action that would move a tv show along. Plus, some of the characters that have major roles on the show don't do much in the book, like Rita, Doakes and Angel. The only characters that really have big parts in the book are Dex, Deb, LaGuerta and the ITK.

[StupidGirlllll]

What are the names of these books?

[Servo]

What are the names of these books?

The first one is "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" and I think the second one is "Dearly Departed Dexter." Don't know the third.

Dexter in the Dark is the new one

[Ay Kay Forty2]

I heard that the second season don't follow any plot points or anything from the other Dexter novels. Kinda like making the serie their own. I've read half of the first Dexter book and it's somewhat faithful to the pilot and a few other episodes.

I heard in the second novel that Dexter notices that Rita's son has some of the tendicencies that Dexter had as a kid. then teaches him like Harry taught him. The Rules or something like that. not positive on that. I'll have to look into it.

Wow now that would of been something to see, they do have a close relashionship..He does look up to Dexter & asked him to come watch him read his report...

[buckcorncobb]

The kids in the 3rd book have a much bigger role..also in the book Cody speaks little if at all and he would have never done that speach in front of the class because he is way too shy and quite...at least on the outside

[ChrisTheCop]

What a great interview Ron is having with Dexter right now!

The good news is Season 2 has finished shooting; not to be affected by the strike!

Did he interview that guy today? Goddamnit! Any chance somebody could make it a download on the site?

[ChrisTheCop]

I was gonna PM Mikeyboy and ask him to, but I'm sure he's on it.
It's too good not to post in the file library!

[StupidGirlllll]

Dexter was on the R&F show I wanna hear the replay too..Hurry Up Mikey

[MilkmanDann]

Dexter was on the R&F show I wanna hear the replay too..Hurry Up Mikey

x2. Quickly becoming my favorite show, and havent been able to listen to R&F for a week

[JimBeam]

Any update on this ?

Has the interview been added to the site ?

[LiddyRules]

x2. Quickly becoming my favorite show, and havent been able to listen to R&F for a week I honestly can't think of another show on tv right now that comes close to equally Dexter.

[StupidGirlllll]

I just heard the replay of the Ron interview with Dexter & I think Mr. B schooled him a little bit on his charecter...he taught him things he never knew about him.Brilliant

[ChrisTheCop]

Doakes would be a perfect fit in Blackwater... $200,000? nice!

but

HOLY CRAP DOAKES FOUND DEXTERS BLOOD SAMPLES!!!!
He's too smart a cop to do anything with them, because theyd be illegally obtained, but maybe he takes one and asks CS Lee or somebody to ck it against a victim's dna. Or maybe he starts phoning in tips to Lundy... or sending the samples in one by one to Lundy!

also, nice to see Belker still working.

[Ay Kay Forty2]

wow, what an episodes!!!! With the way things ended you would think the season finale would be next week but there's four more episodes left.

[Rockvillejoe]

wow, what an episodes!!!! With the way things ended you would think the season finale would be next week but there's four more episodes left.

The noose is tightening. fastest 50 minutes on tv. i curse the tv every week at around 9:55 pm. The only way out is doakes being set up as the bhb. his refusal to talk to lundy will be construed by doakes that doakes is covering for himself. how will dex explain the blood slides? lila: any idead on how she ends up? the thing that pisses me off is that there are not more quality shows like this on tv. it goes to show you that there is still potential for weekly series, and we all don't have to endure dreck like the 5th grader show and reality tv.

[pittphantoms]

I am shocked again at this episode... what deep shit Dex is in here...

They HAVE to set Doakes up... have to... I watched the previews for next week - Doakes aparently has taken the slides with him... talk about stupid. Dex is going to have to suicide him with a note somehow. Hell, Dex may even set it up that he was on to him and thats why Doakes dies... or maybe it will resemble the way Doakes killed the other OPS guy on the boat earlier this season.

[WhistlePig]

I just watched this week's episode. WOW! That was fucking intense! I hate when an episode is over, knowing I have to wait a WHOLE WEEK to see another!

And last night I re-watched the Six Feet Under season 4 episode when David is held hostage for a day. That had my heart pounding all over again. Michael C. Hall is a fantastic actor!!!

I can't watch anything with Michael, and not think Dexter anymore..

[StupidGirlllll]

OK I just watched the last episode & the coming attractions for this Sundays..I would like to make a prediction...It looks as if Dexter is being arrested & taken into custody right? Here is what I think is going to be happening...Since Doakes has lost alot of his credibility...the FBI is putting Dexter in protective custody till they find Doakes fearing that Dex might be next...Doakes was caught with Dexter blood slides & like I said before Doaks is looking crazier & crazier.....Just what i feel like might happen but I am most likey wrong but wanted to put it in writing in case I am not.

I just watched it, too. I think they're trying to make it look like he's being arrested, but it just looks like they brought in Dexter (the expert) to analyze the blood slides, which I'm guessing they found on Doakes.

There is no way this season ends without Doakes being set up as the BHB. It seems pretty apparent to me, but I'm still so fucking excited to watch these episodes unfold.

[StupidGirlllll]

Yea no way that Dexter is going to be blamed for something that he did... I hate Lila I wish Dexter will kill her next...

[underdog]

I don't think any character has turned so quickly to me. I loved her character and then hated her within like 20 minutes.

I forgot they line that Deb said when she was talking to Dexter about her but it was soo funny it went something like.Your gross english titty bitch. & speaking of Deb how gross was it when that old FBI grabbed her ass & they kissed I could watch Dexter cut 100 more faces than watch that again.

That was so gross when Lundy slapped her ass and they started making out. And the line was something like gross pale english tittied vampire, something like that haha.

[Reephdweller]

I just saw the latest episode and the next preview, WOW. It looks like our guy Dexter is done for. I don't know how he'll be able to get out of this.

[Conoeman125]

I know, I saw the preview for the next episode last night. I really doesn't look like the end for dexter. And Lila basically getting underneath Dexter's skin by hanging around the police station and hanging of Angel. something awesome is going to happen.

unless they are planning to end this show.. No way Dexter gets it.. Its called Dexter for a reason.. Now i have not read any of the books.. But its kinda obvious..

[Rockvillejoe]

Lundy is getting jiggy w/sis to see if she knows about dex. he's using her. this poor chick cannot buy a break. last boy friend: serial killer, current boyfriend: user for info. brother: serial killer. father: knowing mentor of serial killer. my take? dex will pawn off the slides as another "plot" by doakes to make dex look bad. doakes is going up the river, but will escape. can't wait for sunday night.

That just reads soo wrong.. I never got that impression that he was using Deb to get info on Dex, she was the 1 who kinda chased him. If anything Lundy will help Dex set up Doakes.

[Kevin]

Ehhh... He could have her pegged and knows how to act in order to make her chase him and seem like it was her idea.. Older men usually know how to do that with younger gals.. especially ones with Daddy issues.. a good % of women that go out with older men, is because they either did not have a father growing up, or did not have a great relationship with them..

[ChrisTheCop]

HOLY CRAP!!!

I nearly shit myself when Doakes interrupted Dexter cleaning up! And I love the look on Doakes' face when Dex tells him, "Ive made my decision...youre not gonna like it, " and shows him the tools of his obsession!!!

At 1st, I thought the way they brought Dex in was a bit overboard, but they explained it away nicely.

[Ay Kay Forty2]

I just think next week's episode is going to be awesome. Kinda hoping they'll be some conversations between Dexter and Doakes and Dexter putting all his cards on the table. And Dexter knows that innocent but it seems it has to be done. I'd be messed up if they somehow strike up a deal of some sort. You can tell, Doakes is going down.

[pittphantoms]

This still is going to end ugly. Dexter is going to have to kill Doakes and Lila or his spot is going to be blown up. No matter what happens they both have to go down.

I know he is going to get away with it all, and I am STILL NERVOUS! Best show around... It is sad there aren't a lot of episodes left.

My guess is the cocaine guys come by and find Doakes and kill him for Dexter.

[JimBeam]

Yeah this deff got uglier now w/ Doakes.

I still can't see Dexter killing him even if it does violate the rule about getting caught.

I'm still believing that if Doakes dies, which it seems he has to in order to keep Dexter's secret safe, that it'll involve some convuluted shenanigans with Lila.

Did they say that there were 3 episodes left for this season ?

I also believe that I read the other day that the series was picked up for a 3rd season so I don't think we have to worry about Dexter getting killed.

[underdog]

My Sunday night was filled with suspense. First the Patriots game then Dexter.

This show just keeps getting better every week. Amazing.

[underdog]

I think tonight's episode is the first when I actually felt pity for Doakes. I still want Dexter to get away, of course, but I actually kind of feel bad for the position Doakes is in.

[JimBeam]

I agree especially since we know that Doakes is a good guy if not just an asshole.

I mean he's a cop, looking to lock up a mass murderer, and here we are pulling for Dexter.

That's why I think the writers have to be careful about what they do because they can't do anything to allow Dexter to lose that good guy persona.

Even if he is just killing bad guys, which Doakes wouldn't and shouldn't care about, he is still murdering people.

[Reephdweller]

What an amazing episode. I was hoping all along that Dex would somehow frame Doakes in all of this, but it has so far worked itself out very nicely.

My guess is that with Doakes locked up Dex has some time now to dispose of the body, and eventually Lila. Which totally sucks, I liked her and her insanity. My only other hope is that he tries the old Godfather suggestion of staying closer to your enemies and he works on getting closer with her for now to keep her at bay while he works things out.

I also agree that I don't think Dexter actually kills Doakes, that ultimately the drug lords do it for him. I'm not all that sure that this season will get wrapped up in a nice bow like last season, but like Dex himself said, there's light at the end of the tunnel and a chance for him to get away.

[JimBeam]

How the hell is Dexter gonna explain to his FBI bodyguards a gunshot wound in the leg ?

LOL

[ChrisTheCop]

How about this?
I agree with PittPhantoms, with all that coke lying around, someone else HAS to be missing it.
So, Dex returns to the cabin to fulfill his promise to Doakes that he's gonna kill him,
only to find Doakes is shot dead, and the killer is still around.

Now, the killer fits Harry's rules, so Dex can kill HIM, leaving Doakes behind in a room full of coke.. "anonymous" tip leads to discovery of Doakes (the bay harbor butcher), and Dexter is free again for another season!

OR-- he could tie Doakes up like he does all his vics, just to give him a little scare... but then just shoot him in the stomach with his own gun and untie him. That way, he could say Doakes abducted him, brought him to the cabin, tried to shoot him (he did get him in the leg), a struggle ensued over the gun, and Dexter shot Doakes, who died before Dexter could get help.
Bay Harbor Butcher Dies in Shoot Out with Arch Rival. Dexter Morgan A True Hero.

Man, his is a lot harder than last season.

I like the scenario a lot. My only concern is the gun shot wound in his leg and how it will age in comparison to whatever Dexter sets up if he intends to frame Doakes. I'm sure they could prove his wound is older than whatever self defense situation he creates later.

but in Dexter land, the only one who would WANT to prove that is Doakes, and he'd be dead.

[Reephdweller]

Unless Laguerta does, which I'm guessing is the setup for next season. I think he'll always need someone on his tail in some way so there's some kind of pressure.

[Rockvillejoe]

I bet Reephdweller has it right. Doakes will be killed by drug dealers that come calling when their supply has not been delivered. I can't believe Doakes didn't shoot to disable dex when given the chance. Dex will patch up by himself. The guy knows how to slice into a body, he has the tools, the knowhow, and the ability. Lundy isn't such a rockstar after all. He's banging a subordinate employee and latches on to the first plausible suspect. Rockstar? amatuer. Lila is the wild card. Maybe she will end up with Doakes, on drugs, and burn the drug lair down with her and Doakes in it.

[Doctor Manhattan]

And what is with showing Lundy's ass? Even if its for the chicks, what chick is turned on by some 60 year old guy's ass?

[underdog]

Wow. Another great episode. But again, they're pushing that line and I felt myself losing sympathy for Dexter, especially after Doakes was absolutely horrified. But they brought back some of the sympathy right at the end.

The preview for the final two episodes was amazing, as well.

[Rockvillejoe]

1) Dex's #1 rule is survival. keeping doakes around for this long is not believable.
2) dex using the computer at work to reverse the drug dealers cell phone number will pop up on the FBI agents screen that are monitoring the computers in the office.
3) Also, when someone at MIAMI PD- (DEX) or any other LEA, runs any type of check, and the data gleened from that check finds that it is a wanted person by some other agency, especially for murder, that check will be flagged by the agency that filed the warrant and MIAMI PD would have been notified.
4) anybody buying that doakes would not be able to break out of that wire cage? looks like he could have chewed his way through that wire, or kicked open the chained door. he even still has his belt he could use for leverage.
5) fingerprints can stay readable after submersion? the knives with doakes fingerprints still good? after being covered in the cloth case? i dunno. police would see a setup. a killer as methodical as the bay area butcher would not be that sloppy. screams frame up.
up until now, the writers have done a great job keeping it real. i guess they need to throw out a little reality for the ending. but really what the fuck do i know? whatever, still the best the show on tv.

1) That's part of the dilemma he's going through. Hence him trying to set him up, even though he could just kill him.

2 + 3) These are just things done on the show that aren't real. Artistic license or something like that. They've been doing it since the beginning.

4) I'll just leave this one alone for now.

5) In real life, I learned that clear fingerprints don't show up on nearly as many things as television tells you they do (like a gun), so this could just be another case of the show taking some sort of license to further the story.

[pittphantoms]

This show is almost too intense to watch right now... My heart cant take it... I hope Fez doesnt watch this show...

If you have ever had a dream where you did something awful - and felt in the dream that you were going to be caught... the feeling in the dream and how you feel when you wake up is awful... well I feel like I am in that dream when I am watching this show... It is such an odd feeling and I really hate it - but I have to see how it ends.

My main reason I dont want Dexter caught right now is that I cant stand the thought of Rita and her Kids, as well as Deb having to go through it. I know it isnt going to happen, but good god that is just an awful feeling.

My feeling when I watch this show is, "God this show is good!". I actually say this as it is being played. Have no fear, Dex will escape all blame. Otherwise, no season #3. I love the way they brought home the fact that this guy really is one sick fuck. We all have become comfortable and sort of accepting of his "addiction" as the episodes fly by, but that scene with doakes, watching Dex cut up his latest victim, really illustrated to me that this guy really is a major psychopath, regardless of how lovable he appears to be when not dissecting his victims. Why aren't there more quality shows like this on TV?

[chubbyknuckles]

As we were watching it, my wife asked me why I was smiling. Its because the show is so good. The Doakes / Dexter line is one of the best ever on television. They definitely really showed you how sick of a man Dexter is in this episode. Just seeing Doakes completely destroyed after the killing really pushed it home.

And the fact that everyone knows that there's no way anything happens to Dexter because there's a season 3 and they can STILL build up all that tension is a huge credit to the writers. This show is just amazing.

Wait, is this Dexter or Tony Soprano?

I didn't see the previews for the next few weeks, but putting Doakes up against Dexter like this was great. I almost stopped rooting for him and started asking myself, "Why have I always hated Doakes so much?"

[underdog]

Its like the writers went, "Shit, we've made people hate a good cop and love a serial killer. We need to fix this." It just changed, almost instantly. I also felt the same with with Lila. I loved her then immediately hated her. They have the best character turns ever.

[Reephdweller]

Check this out, this is a preview clip on You Tube for next weeks show where the murder weapons from the Butcher are found...

[ChrisTheCop]

Cool, thanx Reef! Hey, isnt that Axel Foley's partner? Now he's fbi...I thought he got shot on the stairs....anywho...

Someone, above, mentioned Tony Soprano...and yeah, I thought the same thing. I guess its a common writers tool these days to realize your character is too lovable, and you need to remind the viewer that he's actually an evil being, so show him doing something horrific, like when Tony Soprano strangled that guy during Meadow's college-shopping trip.

And about the finger prints, they will indeed stay "fresh"under water... and I think the fact that the tools were tossed so close to shore would lead investigators to believe they were disposed of hastily...the Butcher is on the run, after all.

The previews show Lila using Dexter's gps history to take her to the cabin! Pretty cool idea actually. When she pulls up, it says "Arriving at your destination"...for some reason, that gave me chills.

Dexter to CBS? (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3i3429e07b4feb0c53cc66102536c60aaf)

Agreed. But then, this guy liked Howard Stern, so whaddaya expect?



anyway... I forgot to mention how much teen Dexter reminded me of Ben Stiller in Something about Mary...and the episode was titled Something About Harry...inside joke ya think?

Haha, good catch. He definitely had the same hair as Stiller in Somthing about Mary.

As for the CBS thing, that would be a terrible idea to go to CBS. They did re-run season one on the Direct TV channel. It wasn't bad, didn't lose anything being edited, but still. Gotta keep it on Showtime!

[blakjeezis]

So Harry spent all this time training Dexter and at long last Dexter kills, and Harry sees the results of his handiwork and does not react well, as we all saw. I mean, "Stay away from me," that was some powerful shit. Three days later, Harry's dead. You mean to tell me that Dexter, whose mind we've all been allowed inside of, who reads situations and people perfectly, who is obsessively methodical, fastidious, and diligent, who sees every angle and leaves absolutely no stone unturned, who has, to this point, outwitted not only the entire Miami PD including capturing and containing an excellent cop who's a former black ops specialist but the FBI's top profiler and his serial killer task force to boot, that Dexter never once questioned his father's death a scant three days after seeing the horrible truth of the monster he created? Never pondered its timing, never even toyed with the idea of a connection between the two events?

And this isn't to shit on the show, it's absolutely one of best series ever, certainly Michael C. Hall has placed himself in the pantheon of TV actors next to the likes of O'Connor, Alda, and Gandolfini, but this is one of those naggingly annoying inconsitencies. I mean, it's not the type of thing that'll ruin the show for me, but a worthy discussion none the less.

For Dexter, Harry is a god figure. All of his growth this season has come from moving away from the code, something he'd never questioned. At that age, he probably couldn't imagine that Harry wouldn't be happy with what he'd done, and suicide was unimaginable. I'll admit it felt a little hokey at the time, but I don't feel it was inconsistent with his character. Harry did a good job hiding a lot from him.

I'll admit it felt a little hokey at the time, but I don't feel it was inconsistent with his character. Harry did a good job hiding a lot from him.

Well said Zen... I'd add more but you said it all.
But ok... I'll also add that Last season, Dex had absolutely no feelings to explore. This season, because of Rita and the kids, and Lila, he is feeling feelings, and therefore his subconscious is opening up skeletons.

No thank you...and thank you.

[Rockvillejoe]

Suspension of disbelief is required, granted. But I for one am sick of myself focusing on the inconsistencies of this show as well as any other show/movie I watch. Watching Anthony Hopkins' "fractured" on pay per view, I caught myself yelling, "Oh no, he should have entered a nolle prosequi" in that case so he could try him again......blah, blah.
Dexter, despite the annoying mistakes, is still fantastic....... C.S. Lee is worth every minute. When he had the magnifying goggles on, creating one huge cyclops eye, while stating that Doakes had called him a donkey dick fluffer, I laughed out loud.
His commenting on his boss's tits as looking bigger on tv was hilariously inappropriate.
That guy could/should have his own comedy series...

[Kevin]

No thank you...and thank you.

Dexter has been dead THIS WHOLE TIME!!!

I can never resist the temptation. I watched them both last night, and now I have to sit on my hands for week and a half :wallbash:

well, please don't give anything away, but are the last 2 episodes worthy of the hype? were you blown away, just satisfied, or dissapointed?

[Kevin]

I went to IMDB today, and decided to look up Dexter (Bored) Did any of you know that these Shifty bastards switched Cody's on us?? Its two different kids from 06 to 07.. He looks alot like him.. BASTARDS! Well played...

[JimBeam]

Chris that new FBI guy isn't Axel Foley's partner but he is the guy who killed Axel's childhood friend.

He was a cop in 48 Hours and coincidentally was killed in the lobby of the hotel by Albert Gans, played by James Remar, who also plays Harry Morgan/Dexter's dad.

I did think the exchange between Doakes and Dexter, when Doakes wasn't being his usually dickie self, was very good.

It actually seemed like Doakes did have some compassion for Dexter. It was also revealing to see him " broken " and I think enhances his character.

I still think Doakes will get killed, probably by cops/FBI, in some mixup involving him, Dexter and Lila.

Maybe he gets free, in some way Lila is going to kill Dexter, and Doakes tries to stop her and gets killed ( maybe by the big Spanish guy who's name I'm forgetting ) because they think he's the Bay Harbor guy trying to kill her and not James Doakes the cop.

What's the angle w/ Lila trying to frame the big guy ?
What does she gain there ?

As far as CBS taking Dexter I think that'd be awful.

I don't care if 50 million more people get to see it.
The show is good because of it's content and acting not because it has the most viewers alltime for SHO.

Burn Notice I think could make an easier switch to a network channel but I'd prefer it didn't.

[MM2]

well, please don't give anything away, but are the last 2 episodes worthy of the hype? were you blown away, just satisfied, or dissapointed?

I watched the last two episodes last night. I think I would say I was all three of those things at different points during the episodes. That's all I will say.

[NickyL0885]

I've been hooked on this show this season. They has a marathon on tonite. I hoped he would have killed Doakes but him going to jail would not be that bad. I hope Lila dies. I HATE her. So annoying. I usualy find british chicks hot, but not her.

[WhistlePig]

Last night's episode was great, as usual. I just noticed the name of Dexter's boat - Slice of Life! And I laughed out loud when the FBI showed video of Doakes at a gas station and Masuka said "I can't believe it..." Dexter looks at him and he says "$3.49 for regular?"

[chubbyknuckles]

Yup, another awesome season, and coming down to this last week, you know he's gonna come outta it, but HOW!!!!!????

[Reephdweller]

I'm surprised no one has said anything...awesome episode.

I can't wait for the finale.

[underdog]

I'm surprised no one has said anything...awesome episode.

I can't wait for the finale.

I've wanted to post here, but I couldn't think of anything original to come up with.

Another amazing episode. With an amazing preview for the final episode of the season.

This show just continues to leave me nearly speechless.

[zentraed]

I'm surprised no one has said anything...awesome episode.

I can't wait for the finale.

I can't remember what happened in the finale and what happened in this week's episode, so I've just been keeping my mouth shut. Damn internet leaks...

[Rockvillejoe]

A couple of ruminations: did you notice who DDI FBI Adams is? I'm referring to Lundy's bald boss. He's the supervisor from WISEGUY. He played Ken Wahl's boss. But get this, he and Dex's dad Harry actually played the bad guys in Beverly Hills Cop 1. Harry especially played a very nasty looking killer in that comedy no less.....crook/killers in th early 80's-law enforcement officers in the 2000's........HBO and SHOWTIME have to get it together. They have DEXTER on at the same time as the HBO EXTRA's christmas special. Thanks god for ON DEMAND...........I have not seen the last episode, but isn't obvious? Doakes and Lyla get blown up in the drug house in the everlglades. A further search will show that Lyla has an extensive history of blowing up and burning her ex boyfriends, add to that her history of drug abuse that ties her to the drug house, and boom! All tied up in a nice xmas bow for dexter. except laguardia or whatever her name is will now be dexters new watchdog, as she is convinced james was innocent, but ddi adams will want to close the case......i am setting my expecatations on low for the finale. there is no way any finale can live up to the season in 1 hour.

All I want to say is the Last 10 MIn

My call : Lila finds Doakes, Doakes explains whats up, and Lila kills Doakes thinking its her way to make Dexter hers by getting rid of the one man who could defintely put Dex away. Dex, finding out Lila killed a cop, decides to chop Lila up.

[ChrisTheCop]

I watched the next to last episode tonight on Tivo.

I couldnt resist temptation, and immediately torrented the finale.

I will make no further comment, other than I was very happy a torrent finally worked for me.

JimBeam, thanks for clearing that up; also I didnt recognize Harry til you said that!

Rockville Joe...ya gots to read other peoples posts, man!

That's clever and consistent with their character. Great call, we'll see. By the way, anybody catch the 3 minute DEXTER interviews with the cast? Rita was dolled up for the interview. She is absolutely stunningly beautiful. They haggard her up for the series. The last episode with her on the boat and that exposed leg in those capri pants....very nice. she is top shelf....comes from a family of doctors in real life. smart and pretty.

Her name is Julie Benz - she used to be an ice skater - and is absolutely smoking. She used to play a vampire on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and was in Jawbreaker back when she was even hotter... you are right - they really kill her looks on this show - but have started to dress her up more and more as she ditches the beaten wife role...

[denko]

i thought the first season was excellent, second season was even better. not sure if everyone has seen all the show so i will hold off on the open discussion.

question: am i sick if i liked lila and started thinking "you know, shes not all that bad, i could dig her"?

her face looks like she has had major plastic surgery. i dunno. she went from smokin hot to creepy to me.

[pittphantoms]

I am thrilled with this series, and the finale tonight was very good. I think it worked out well without any loose ends – which in turn leaves the show open for all sorts of new twists next season. I really think Showtime hit this series out the park this year...

But I do have to say...

I think it would have been a better ending if Lila would have killed Rita's children. I know that sounds awful, but Dexter's thoughts this season were on how his capture would affect those around him... and I think it would have been fitting if there were real consequences not only to his capture, but his existence. I am guessing that they may have softened the ending so that this will be more appealing to the groups looking to put this on network TV.

In the end, though, I am happy Ronnie B recommended this when it first started because it has been one of my top television shows ever, not just this year.

[WhistlePig]

Great Dexter line tonight: "It's strange to have a creation out there, a deeply mutated version of yourself running loose and screwing everything up -- I wonder if this is how parents feel." :laugh:

[Old Fitzgerald]

Just watched the finally and it seemed like somewhat of a let down, not sure if i liked it as much as the last few. The series seemed to be building to something and all that this one did was tie everything up neatly and set up another season. On the other hand there is still more to discover about the Dexter character. I just hope Showtime doesn't drag this series out too long, i think with this show we need some kind of resolution and a sopranos cut to black ending won't work. I would either have Dexter stop killing or end up killing himdself.

[Bay Ridge Tim]

I thought it was pretty good. Nothing compares to the twistedness and the tenseness of the first season. I loved the post-script in Paris.

[drjoek]

I looked forward to thefinale all week and it did not disappoint. I love that wistful look on his face <that people notice> when he realizes his problem has been blown away.





Pitts idea (in his hidden box thingy)really doesn't fly in this day and age on television. Im not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing.

I thought it was def good, but i def would've liked to see lila live, so that he has this nemesis an offspring or whatever in another country and he always has that threat looming. But all in all a good season

Why, I was right ?

I didnt even watch the episode last night. Something came up. I have to wait for it to come on Showtime OnDemand now.

I just posted what I thought would happen just from seeing the scenes from next weeks Dexter like they always do at the end of the show.


AND NOW THE WINNING LOTTO NUMBERS ARE.....

[Reephdweller]

I absolutely loved it. I thought the show was great, the ending once again wrapped up the season with a nice little bow, and was pretty funny at times. I especially like when he realized he was free and he starts living the life of his opening theme, and you see the orange getting sliced and the eggs being made, etc. Just great. That plus Dexter tracking Lila down in Paris and his own closure to his past and demons. Bravo on an amazing season.

I have no idea how in the flying fuck they expect to have Doakes on regular tv.:huh:

[King Imp]

So, being as I don't have Showtime, this is the first chance I've had the pleasure to check out this show on CBS. Me likey a lot!

For those that have seen it in the past and watched this again, how much has actually been cut out? I mean aside from that guy saying motherlover.

[Rockvillejoe]

news:dexter will be back this fall with jimmy smits added as a new character that plays a D.A. ...apparently he and dexter team up to catch a murderer on the loose. do a smell a shark getting ready to jump? i hope not.

[RogerDornShortHops]

Absolutely great call..........WHYYYYYY are you doing this Showtime???? Jimmy Fuckin Smits?????

Should have gotten Nate to help Dexter out.

I just watched the preview on Sho.com & it looks sooo goood, the only thing with Jimmy Smits is he has the awful accent I mean why not let him use his own voice. That def is going to get to me. Ow & his sister cut her hair she looks like a mom now.

[TheMojoPin]

As much as I enjoy this show, it bugs me how they have a knack for dropping some completely horrible actors onto the show, especially in all the females roles. I can't stand his girlfriend and sister, and the actress playing the lieutenant or whatever is totally wrong for that part and comes across like a total pushover. And man, the dude who played Dokes was horrendous. Loved the character, but that lunkhead playing him was awful. I wanted to bust out laughing every time he tried to act.

[hammersavage]

I like Rita enough but I want Deb to die so bad. She was INTOLERABLE the 1st season, got a little better last season. Hope she's in some terrible situations this year.

QFT! Except I like the lieutenant...But Deb=shit, Lila=garbage, Rita=turdlicious.:furious:

I think the problem is Michael C Hall is such an outstanding actor he really makes the whole cast look really bad. In six feet under the entire cast was pretty much on the same level (or at least the same ballpark) of talent.

[JPMNICK]

I think the problem is Michael C Hall is such an outstanding actor he really makes the whole cast look really bad.

I always wonder if Michael C Hall is just making everyone else look bad or if the actors are told to sort of overact. Everyone other than Dexter comes off sort of cartoony and it seems like its on purpose sometimes.

[TheMojoPin]

Yeah, I have a lingering worry that this thing is going to wrap up with it all being a dream or some insane fantasy, and that's why so many of the characters seem so over the top or they seemingly hired so many bad actors on purpose for major roles.

I think it might just have been done in order to accentuate how weird and out of touch with reality Dexter was at the beginning of the show. As it's progressed though, he's become more human and he's less out there.

[weekapaugjz]

Just bought season 2 yesterday. I can't wait to start watching it.

[StupidGirlllll]

You have to love the internet. I just finished watching the season 1 episode to season 3 & its beautiful. I really think this is going to be another winning season. I really do not like Jimmy Smits but I see his charecter evolving during the season.

[Doctor Manhattan]

They released the first few episodes early last season, but this time only 1? oh well. Love the show and can't wait to watch (d/ling now)

[ChrisTheCop]

May I just ask please that those of you who watch ahead of the Showtime's official presentations, post any comments in SPOILER mode so as not to roon it for us law abiding citizens? Thaaaank you!

[Doctor Manhattan]

There are law abiding citizens on the internet? :eek:

[TheMojoPin]

Just finished watching season 2 on DVD, and overall I actually enjoyed it more than the 1st season. I was actually sorry to see Doakes go at the end since they finally made him more than just a 2-dimensional asshole in his last few episodes. The stuiff between him and Dex when he has Doakes caged up are some of the best scenes on the series so far.

The only thing that irked me in a strong season was Dexter killing Lilah. It's clearly before Doakes' funeral, which means Dexter somehow found Lilah, jetted off to Paris, killed her and somehow disposed of the body, and flew back in time for the funeral without anyone noticing? That was a little too neat and tidy, and could have been fixed if they just flipped the funeral scene and the Paris scenes. Then it would seem like the Paris stuff took place at least months later, which would make much more sense given he would have to find her and then figure out how to dispose of her body from a hotel overseas.

I agree with you. The Doakes character was coming along nicely. He was an asshole, but he was actually the only good cop.

The Lilah kill was to quick. Maybe when they filmed it they didn't know if they'd be back for season 3, and just wanted to wrap everything up. Tracking her down and killing her would've been a good 1st episode for season 3.

[JimBeam]

Is the season premier on Sunday ?

Just signed up for Showtime today. Looking forward to Dexter and Californication!!

[CambriaBurning]

Deb's terrible on the show... but I miss Doakes in a way.

"You owe me a new Michelin, motha fucka" and just him calling Dexter a "fucking weirdo", with the inflection he used, had me rolling.

[Reephdweller]

Deb's terrible on the show....


No way, I love Deb on the show.

Not to give anything away, but I saw an advance of tonights premier. I won't give anything away, but I highly suggest you check it out, it's VERY good.

[JustJon]

Love Dexter, but I don't have Shotime, so I marathon the show after the season. Someone let me know in 13 weeks :happy:

[TheGameHHH]

good opening show tonight

[JPMNICK]

i thought it was a really strong opening. I can not get a feel for the ADA guy yet and why he is so into dexter. there is something def going on with that.

[lleeder]

It started a bit slow but ended really strong.

[ChrisTheCop]

Missed opportunity:
"Angel gets his wings, you know what that means..."
Dexter says "Pay raise?" But I wanted him to say, "a bell rang?"

Subtle humor:
"Youre working killer hours"

as far as smits being interested in dex, i think he just lost his bro, sees dex as affected by it as he is, and wants to reach out. smits asks him if he has a brother. also in the previews, dex asks if coming over late at night to drink is something friends do; its not. it's what brothers do when theyre hurting. smits may just end up being a lost soul...his bald pal will be the real trouble.

Good ep, nice to see the show back...i wouldnt call it great......yet.

doesnt hollywood know that introducing a new child is a sure way to jump the shark? altho the implications are intriguing in this case.

Also: I see Laguarda being mad that Angel can lead and still be liked, since she's been unable to do that.

I think the thing that has sparked Smit's to Dexter is the fact that he looked him up. I think he did a report on who investigated his background and Dexter came up, so if anything at this point his antenna is up on him. I'm not so sure he suspects anything about Dex just yet other than that. The only thing that could make me think he knows more about him was the brother question he asked him, but I don't think that is going anywhere just yet. I think it was more innocent than anything else.

as far as smits being interested in dex, i think he just lost his bro, sees dex as affected by it as he is, and wants to reach out. smits asks him if he has a brother. also in the previews, dex asks if coming over late at night to drink is something friends do; its not. it's what brothers do when theyre hurting. smits may just end up being a lost soul...his bald pal will be the real trouble.

I think the thing that has sparked Smit's to Dexter is the fact that he looked him up. I think he did a report on who investigated his background and Dexter came up, so if anything at this point his antenna is up on him. I'm not so sure he suspects anything about Dex just yet other than that. The only thing that could make me think he knows more about him was the brother question he asked him, but I don't think that is going anywhere just yet. I think it was more innocent than anything else.

Oh, I agree that the original reason he even looked at Dex was because of the computer check, but I'm saying Dexter's actions since drew Smits closer to him in his weakened state.

That said, having a night to sleep on it... I'm wondering if someone brought Omar to the pink house and was waiting down the block when it all went down. After all, who found the body? Freebo sure as hell didnt call the cops to his own den. Maybe Smits isnt the upstanding citizen we think he is? We've learned in past seasons that a brothers behavior doesnt stray too far from ones own. His bald friend certainly doesnt seem very orderly.
So many questions already...this is gonna be a good season.

[Reephdweller]

Last nights episode was let down, when are they gonna get rid of Rita, I hate her storyline, a killer cant have a kid it just drags the show to a halt every time he is at her house.

I totally disagree, I think the prospect of him having a child is intriguing and absolutely brilliant. He will have many new emotions he's not used to at all. The idea of raising a child the opposite of anything Harry taught him will weigh on him, there are so many fascinating avenues this can take Dexter.

I agree with Reef. i think the kid adds a new dimension where he needs to be even more careful about what he did. Plus he is passing his fucked up genes onto a new generation

[MM2]

I think in the books Dexter sees in Rita's son, what Harry saw in him and starts to teach him the code. So maybe in the show they'll have him teaching his own son? But I guess they'd have to fast forward years to make that work.

Sorry, that added nothing :wacko:

there's no way that baby is going full term. miscarriage by the end. i can't see how they will top season 2. that was a masterpiece.

that internal affairs babe is hot. i'd snitch out and work with her in the hopes of hitting her hey nanny nanny for snitch rewards.

the baby would be normal, as dex blames his obsession on emotional trauma. which begs the question, are serial killers born that way or created as a result of their enviroment?
hmmmmm. new thread idea....

Yeah Im sure it will that sounds very fascinating.........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........ ........




If he stays with Rita and has a kid the show will be done in under a year with the kid in there, she is the most boring character on the show and all the scenes with her were useless. The only way it gets better is if the whole family starts being murderers and the kids start singling out the kids for killing, you know the ones that steal lunch money, talk and chew gum in class, and run in the hallways.

[Friday]

i don't understand people who say that Jennifer Carpenter 'can't act'.
she FLOORED me in "the Exorcism of Emily Rose" with her versatility, and i have seen nothing but a decent character study in the wake of weak writing as far as supporting characters are concerned in this series.

i enjoy the series completely, but the writing is so loose on the supporting roles that it's amazing they didn't detract from the main storylines more in the last season. already this season the character of Rita has taken a swan dive into the irrelevant.

[JPMNICK]

tonights episode felt like a season ender. i could not believe the Jimmy Smits found Dexter killing. This is really shaping up to be an awesome season

[SP1!]

What? Last nights episode sucked, it was fucking boring compared to any of the previous episodes, the last two episodes were some of the worst, if they dont turn it around soon a lot of people are going to tune out.

At least brotherhood comes on in a month, it may be the new show to watch if dexter keeps this level of suck going.

I am hoping they kill off rita, she is so fucking annoying and adds nothing to the story outside of leading to the duality of his personalities which any female could accomplish.

[Willmore]

I can't wait for Dexter to kill Jimmy Smits ... and the new detective ... and his pregnant girlfriend.

[Rockvillejoe]

tonights episode felt like a season ender. i could not believe the Jimmy Smits found Dexter killing. This is really shaping up to be an awesome season

i liked it too. the interest barometer for me is whether i look at my watch while the show is on. not one bit.

it is a great setup. dexter is helping and getting befriended by the brother of his latest victim.

i dont see smits getting killed.

the only fly in the ointment so far is dexter screwing up 2 weeks in a row.

first, not doing the due diligence in killing freebo. instead killing an unintended victim.

second, getting caught by smits at the murder scene. thise 2 things are necessary for the plot, but not up to the rules of harry. a bit inconsistent and annoying.

i don't know how they could top last season, so i understand if some fans think the show sucks now. for me, there isn't much better in tv than this.

also, it looks like rita's cans are getting bigger. i wonder if julie benz the actress who plays
rita is actually pregnant in real life and they wrote the pregnancy in.

they could have used old footage of a thin, washboard abbed rita while they were in the sack that was previoulsy not used.

sunday nights for this show are must see tv.

[Reephdweller]

I totally agree, Jimmy Smits finding out about Dexter, but not fully (yet anyway), sets up an amazing dynamic where someone knows his dirty secret and still lives. I would imagine he will have to die eventually. I can't see Dexter letting him live on.

I love this season so far, these new directions are completely fascinating to me.

i am interested to see how Jimmy Smits tells his brother about Freebo being dead. His brother is hunting him down, so eventually he is going to have to tell him

[TheGameHHH]

the only thing that bothered me about last night is how did Dexter transform the kill room so quickly? it was like that fact was completely glossed over. if youre seran wrapping an entire garage not only will you be making enough noise that somebody in the adjescent house would hear you, you'd also be in there for at least an hour or two.

otherwise, great episode.

[ChrisTheCop]

A) Freebo didnt kill Teegan.
B) I smell a love triangle between Jimmy Smits, his wife, and bro.
(Wife mentioned that they couldnt get pregnant, but then once "it took")
C) Perhaps Freebo was about to use this info to gain favor with Smits, and little bro stopped
by to "convince" him not to...?
D) The sheriff LT guy (Smits friend) is definitely corrupt, and Smits knows about it,
and (at least) enables him as he does now Dexter....did LT kill Teegan to draw Freebo out?
E) Because of all the above, and the fact that Dex will have to tie up any loose ends...
Both Smits and the sheriff LT will be dead by season's end.

[StupidGirlllll]

what about Freebo's blood on Jimmy Smits shirt Dexter did not see this. This can be used for a set up later on.

[Doctor Manhattan]

And he knew the cops were close to finding Teegan's name, which would lead them to the house. So why even setup a kill room next door?

damn that's good. it almost seems like you have read the scripts. really. it's so good i'm passing on your future dexter comments because they are almost at "spoiler" level. last season somebody predicted EXACTLY the last epsiode before it was aired and it made the last episode anti-climactic. a tip of the badge chris.

[oldladyfacepuncher]

I thought the season premier blew goat balls. The 2nd episode was much better and it looks like we're going to have another good season.

Something has to happen to Rita so she miscarries. Smits will shove her down the stairs, then Dexter will have a reason to kill his new pal.

Why in the first episode to Smits' brother yell at Freebo, "Get back here." Did he expect Freebo to come back and get killed? Something fishy is going on.

[oldladyfacepuncher]

Ignore this. I'm wondering if spoiler tags work in Ispy.

They don't.

[StupidGirlllll]

Wow last nights episode was pretty amazing.. I just hate Jimmy Smits accent.

[CambriaBurning]

I love how Dexter actually got extremely protective of Rita's kids... he doesn't usually confront his victims in person like that. Great episode.

[Kevin]

I didn't really like last weeks ep. But this weeks was very good.

[TheGameHHH]

Can we all agree Dexter has no "code" anymore?

[ChrisTheCop]

Can we all agree Dexter has no "code" anymore?

No code = sloppy sloppy.

My guess (what?another one??) is that this season he will toy with abandoning the code, but due to several close calls, he'll return to respecting the ways of Harry.

[StupidGirlllll]

But he is still killing the so called "bad people" Who do you think is the copycatting Freebo's killing methods? My guess its going to be Jimmy Smits.

[Reynolds]

I tried getting into this show in the first season but I just can't get over the horrible acting, maybe Ill try again.

[oldladyfacepuncher]

He's developing Harry Code 2.0 - We Can't Change Who We Are. Freebo and the kid toucher were within the code, and chances are Smitz's brother was dirty too. The kid toucher was personal, but still the guy was a convicted sex offender about to spank it to a 12 year-old's photo he took.

I think Smitz will try and recruit Dexter for some vigilante work. We already knew he put someone away for a crime they didn't commit (cue A-Team song), and he keeps telling Dexter, "You did the right thing."

Episodes 2 and 3 were much much better. I don't know if they can match last season, but we're off to a good start.

[CambriaBurning]

I can't stop watching the scene where Deb finds out Dexter is gonna be a dad... that chick needs some acting lessons, pronto. That was the most forced happy reaction I've ever seen. I understand she's supposed to be a "unpolished" type chick who curses, but all the cursing sounds so goddamn forced when she does it.

shes fucking terrible in my opinion and that scene really showed it. i hate her more and more every episode. how dumb did she sound when she called the baby a "rolly polly chubby little shit machine"? it made me wanna puke. that and when she met the CI and wouldnt stop cursing for an entire sentence. its truly awful.

[King Imp]

Not at all! I do agree that her character is boring, but she is very hot to me. Plus, she has been getting hotter with each season. That and she really does have a killer body on her. Those sex scenes with Dexter had me doing a Google Image Search shortly after to see more.

[ChrisTheCop]

I was watching a King of Queens repeat the other day and there was this cute, sexy little blonde working at Doug's IPS station. I asked the girl I was with who it was, she looked so familiar. She laughed, saying "you know who she is...she's on your favorite show"... I immediately went down the Lost character list and gave her a blank stare....then the sexy chick on tv smiled, and there she was; Rita!

Point of the story is, she was a sexpot when she was younger, and there's still something about her, when she's allowed to look good, that does it for me.

[brettmojo]

I think it is Smits brother that killed them while torturing them for information

I will be so glad when rita is killed off or she just has a miscarriage, even if shes cute she is annoying as hell.
It's not the brother, it's the cop that IA is trying to get Debra to snitch on

And I don't get the Debra hate. I like her character and how she portrays her. Maybe it's cause' I've known chicks exactly like her but I don't see where she's being horribly unwatchable. She's purposely unpolished and awkward because that's who the character is.

Do you know this for sure?

No. But I think it's the likeliness of scenarios. Then again Rudy wasn't introduced the first season until a few episodes in... So perhaps there's another character introduction coming in the next couple episodes.

i agree, Rita is not going anywhere, unless she dies and then dexter is stuck with her kids. that is the only way they get rid of her, but i doubt it.

[TheGameHHH]

that last scene was great, where Dexter talks about an actor stepping into the spolight and being cast in the role of a lifetime. i really liked the episode and next week looks great too.

[PD]

What a great episode tonight's was. It had some slow moments, but overall was just brilliant.

yes; even the slow moments have tension and advance the plot.
I'm still not sure how the whole Jimmy Smits stuff will play out.

[pittphantoms]

i agree, Rita is not going anywhere, unless she dies and then dexter is stuck with her kids. that is the only way they get rid of her, but i doubt it.

I think they kill off Rita as well - Showtime and HBO have a bad habit of puting people they are about to kill off on talk shows a lot. Before the new season launched - Julie Benz was on a number of shows.

I used to think she was beautiful too - she was in a movie Jaw Breaker way back in the day - the movie was awful but I thought she was amazing. Her acting on Dexter is unbearable for me. The sister doesn't irk me as much as it used to in season 1 - but its not great either.

Last year I was so nervous for Dex all season... now without the code... and in my opinion no real danger lurking for him - the season isnt killing it for me. I do like the Jimmy Smits though. And really, after his brother the serial killer and what happened with Doakes last year - what else could they have done this season.

[Chimee]

Looks like next episode could be the best of the season. It'll be really interesting to see where they go from everything that happens.

[ChrisTheCop]

Yeah I saw that, it looks like rita may be phased out now and I couldnt be happier, she slows the show down, I like dexters sister as well but she is kinda dull.

Not gonna' happen.

Agreed. Even Dex emphasized Rita's importance this episode, saying, "he was a 'decent, hardworking family man' sure reads better than 'lived alone and kept to himself'".

Smits is playing Laguarda's emotions blatantly--can they have ONE conversation when he doesnt bring up Doakes? And EVERY time he does, she's shocked to hear the name!
Do not trust Smits!!

Oh--and the undercover hooker was hot, especially when she softened up. Hope we see more of her.

[ChrisTheCop]

At my age, it's hard to tell the difference.

But cmon, except for the asian rat, she's the hottest chick on the show.

[SP1!]

At my age, it's hard to tell the difference.

You can almost guarantee that the hooker will end up dating batista

I just read the synopsis of the books where it states that he mentors the kids with their urges brought on by their father beating/raping their mother but even if shes on a couple episodes less it will be better, her character takes me out of the whole story

[ChimneyFish]

Agreed. Even Dex emphasized Rita's importance this episode, saying, "he was a 'decent, hardworking family man' sure reads better than 'lived alone and kept to himself'".


Am I the only one who laughs hysterically at lines like this on this show????
Since the first episode, this has not only benn a good drama, but it's really made me laugh just about every episode.

[Chimee]

The one I really loved about the last episode was when Smits and Laguerta were talking about the anonymous tip and Dexter "says" "oh, did I forget to leave my name".

[ChimneyFish]

I also loved when he killed the pedo.
Something along the lines of "The lion doesn't fear the jackal".

[brettmojo]

Oh SHIT.

[Kevin]

Great ep..

Won't say anything until everyone gets a chance to watch.

[Chimee]

That was quite interesting.

[SP1!]

Oh SHIT.

I believe my line was more "Oh my fucking GOD!"

I'm starting to agree with what someone said earlier, smits character knows about dexter, he already knows he was searching police databases for his brother. It wouldnt take a genius to see that he accessed the same data base and all those other people turned up dead last season

[TheGameHHH]

Dexter fucking rules

[JimBeam]

I thought Rita looked very good last night although I've never really been attarcted to her.

I mean she's not ugly by any means but she's not sexy either.

The sister is extemely annoying and always has been but I've come to expect that and kinda block her out when I watch the show.

I do think that Smits is going to be the other killer going around and that in the end Dexter will have to kill him and that'll end any chance of him being discovered.

It does seem like Dexter's rushing a lot this season. Last night w/ the guy on the cruise was a great example.

In the preview for next week's episode doesn't it look like Smit's character sets up Dexter ? He says something about the guy escaping " having an accomplice ".

[ChrisTheCop]

Dexter walks into Rita's small house, and Rita shouts, "Is that you Dexter? I'm in the kitchen!"

But from the next camera angle, it's obvious you can see the kitchen from the door and the door from the kitchen quite clearly. wtf?

Anywho, it's heading in a veeery interesting direction.

[deliciousV]

last night was the first time that the lovable serial killer actually gave me the creeps. The look on his face and the excited heavy breathing while that pulse slowed to a stop was just wrong. Great moment in a great ep.

[ChimneyFish]

The show is dangerously close to taking "ye old jump over ye old fish", but every time I think it's headed that way, they wrap it all up really nice.

Next week looks ver interesting, indeed.

[Chimee]

Next week should be very interesting once again.

[PD]

Next week should be very interesting once again.

I thought so.
I think the whole Prado thing is in interesting idea. Notice that while Dexter picked this victim, the guy was threatening Prado's family- which he didn't mention to Dexter.

I also think the Skinner is going to be Deb Morgan's partner.

[StupidGirlllll]

I think the skinner is that little oriental chick from IA

[King Imp]

agreed, ive been thinking that for a few weeks now. however, now i think they want us to think its him and its going to be somebody random like the C.I.

[ChrisTheCop]

The whole IA/Deb's partner thing is really boring. They introduce this new guy and expect us to care that he might get in trouble for something we don't know about?

It's not him for whom we're supposed to care.

It's Deb's own Harry conundrum: "Do I follow what Harry would do in this situation and be a rat, or do I follow my own set of rules and stand up?" It's a family mirror image play going on inside her, a struggle that Dexter thinks he has won, but obviously hasnt, as Harry continues to appear.

As for who the killer is this time, several scenarios would lead me to roll my eyes in disgust at lazy writing. The CI; so everyone Deb gets romantically involved in ends up being a killer? The 'partner': they want us to believe its him, so it cant be. The asian chick; doubtful, she's too small to be a cop, let alone a serial killer.

I'm sticking with the bad LT, in the sheriffs office. Just because he didnt kill the guy while they were watching, doesnt mean he hasnt killed before. He may end up getting suspended, losing badge and gun, then he can devote all his time to skinning. Even Dexter has a real job, that he does well and no one suspects his 2nd life... why not this guy?

It would be really interesting if they ended up showing Deb have a split personality and being a killer.... but I dont really think thatll happen.

[Doctor Manhattan]

It's Deb's own Harry conundrum...

I still don't really care. Nice that it mirrors Dexter's conflict, but to spend this much time dragging it out is silly.

[Whiskeyportal]

agreed, ive been thinking that for a few weeks now. however, now i think they want us to think its him and its going to be somebody random like the C.I.

i agree. deb will fall for him, he'll plan to skin her, dexter will figure it out, save her, she'll cry, he'll kill him, he'll have a son, end of season.

[CambriaBurning]

I thought so.
I think the whole Prado thing is in interesting idea. Notice that while Dexter picked this victim, the guy was threatening Prado's family- which he didn't mention to Dexter.

He wasn't threatening his family... prado said that so the aryan guy wouldn't wonder why this guy is letting him go from a courthouse for no reason. That's why he looked really confused and was like, "i knew my aryan brothers would come through for me".

couldn't disagree more, i am absolutly LOVING the direction this show is going in. Michael C. Hall is fucking killing this year......Dexter, even though he's equiped with a limited range of emotions, has expanded so much and grown as a character this season. It's been so fun to watch. The addition of Miguel Prado, im refusing to call him jimmy smits now, has been great. This is the first time we've seen Dexter have a friend and even though Dexter is trusting him more and more each week, I still don't fully trust him. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

i think it just goes totally against anything he believed in. He was kind of forced into the family thing, but he does not need to have a friend, especially in this capacity.

[pittphantoms]

I read a couple weeks back there was a big mistake on the set and Jimmy Smits stabs someone for real. I keep waiting for that scene ... aparently the guy is in Dexter's kill room and Jimmy Smits is the guy doing the killing - and they just mixed up the knives. No word if they use the real fotage - but thats crazy. Aparently the extra saw the wrong knife picked up - and had to watch it as it happened - he couldn't get out.

i love itty bitty titties on an in shape sexy lady. deb is fine, and she has a smokin' body. i would lick her sweaty ass with a smile on my face

To each their own. I think she has the body of a creepy young boy, the voice of a stroke victim and the acting talent of whatever is caught in the pest trap underneath my porch. Pass.

agreed she really does not do it for me, but Jimmy Smit's wife is so hot that I actually feel bad for Deb having to be in the same scenes as her

young boy? you sir, are insane. My motto is, "if I can't bench a chick, she gets no dick." I like 'em petite:thumbup: But if your into that sort of thing more power to ya. as for the acting, she's not that bad, in my opinion.

are u confusing Deb for Rita?

[ChrisTheCop]

I say wait for Angel's "plus one" and Deb to have a history, probably bad.
Kinda late in the season to be introducing conflict, but remember Deb used to work vice.
Just a thought.

ok so is the shark officially jumped? the show is basically a buddy cop show right now
I dont see how anyone could think that, dexter finally feels he has a friend that understands him, sort of and it will be interesting to see how this ends up.
I think either dexter ends up killing him(obvious *yawn*) or miguel gets caught doing it on his own and tries to make a deal to give up dexter

She is an adams apple away from being a man, shes not even remotely attractive and she has no titties from what has been shown on the show lately and barely qualifies as a woman.
