Who is stoked? I am.


Stoked as well here. I watched seasons 1-2 in 2 weeks on DVD and it really messed with my head to be exposed to that so much.

MCS

[Starscream]

Seasons 1-3 are on Showtime OnDemand right now. Thinking about catching myself up on this.

[Darrell]

You won't be disappointed!

[akakirby]

I'm very interested to see what next season will bring!

[SchizoFilly]

don't have Showtime....anxiously awaiting season 3 on dvd so I can get my Dexter fix

[Starscream]

You won't be disappointed!

I watched the first two episodes of this series last night. I was not disappointed. Can't wait to see more. The ice truck killer story is great so far.

[Starscream]

Just finished season 2. OMG that was great! I hear season 3 is kinda slow, but I haven't watched it yet. I'll have it finished before season 4 debuts.
It sucks that Doakes died. He was one of my favorite characters.

[CigarDood]

I haven't started watching this yet, but I think I really need to pick it up.

[floydpink]

Haven't missed an episode yet and ain't gonna start now.

[GreekGodX]

I need to catch up big time! Love this show :tu

[Starscream]

Season 3's Jimmy Smits is awesome! I didn't know he was actually good at acting.

[Starscream]

All caught up and anxiously awaiting season 4 premiere.

[Starscream]

This one starts in about an hour and a half. :wo :wo

[GWN]

Looking forward to the next season. Hopefully no shark-jumping in store.

[PV1191]

If any of you are torrent hounds the first episode of season 4 has been on several sites for the last 3 weeks.

[Darrell]

So.....what did everyone think?

It looks like it's going to be a great season. Too bad Dexter seems to be so tired he's getting sloppy in all aspects of his life.

He crashed his car with bags of body parts and judging by the episode II trailer one of them is MISSING! Not good.

Loved it. Lithgow's "Trinity" character is very intriguing. Looks like sleep deprivation is gonna be a big issue in this one.

I think this is going to make for a great story. Dexter has to juggle his life and his killer hobby :tu I loved that they already leave you on a cliff hanger.

And Lithgow's just makes the show that much better :)

[Starscream]

Get some sleep already! I'm starting to feel sorry for ol' Dex.

[Darrell]

Get some sleep already! I'm starting to feel sorry for ol' Dex.

:tpd:

No kidding.

What is up with Quinn taking that money from the motel?

I'm glad that Dex hid the body parts rather than having them in the car.

[Dux]

:tpd:

No kidding.

What is up with Quinn taking that money from the motel?

I'm glad that Dex hid the body parts rather than having them in the car.

I felt the hiding spot was brilliant, and I love how he was mentally trying to tell him self where he hid the body in the visions of his Dad :tu

Quinn's had some secrets ever since he debuted. Always wondered where he got the money for that nice car he drives around. And then the whole deal with him and Anton last season. Taking the money from the hotel is just more fuel on the fire.
I felt the hiding spot was brilliant, and I love how he was mentally trying to tell him self where he hid the body in the visions of his Dad :tuI think having his dad as his conscience is one of the best aspects of this show.

[replicant_argent]

I just watched disc 1 via netflix with my daughter this weekend. I will be watching more. Excellent show. I will not read any threads either, no spoilers for me!

[Starscream]

I was just watching a bit of 3rd Rock and it's hard to believe that John Lithgow is the same actor. He looks the same, but completely different persona. Trinity is a whole new role for him.
Anybody remember Harry and the Hendersons?

[str8edg]

so far I think this season is going to be GREAT

[Darrell]

so far I think this season is going to be GREAT

I agree 100%

Does anyone else get the feeling that Deb is going to send Anton packing in order to get back with Agent Lundy?

and I'm curious to see how Rita reacts to finding Dexter smashing the security lights.

[Dux]

I have a feeling Rita and Dexter are going to be test the whole season.
Part of me would like to see Dexter solo again but I do enjoy watching him juggle life and his hobby :)

I'm over Rita. She is a controlling pain in the ass.

[Dux]

I'm over Rita. She is a controlling pain in the ass.

yeah shes is becoming a bit much.

[str8edg]

I don't want to open myself up to any spoilers but have anyone read the books? Please don't let any cats out of any bags if you have... I was just curious.

I don't think Rita is too mean, but she has changed in the last few seasons!

[The Professor]

Haven't read the books but an am avid watcher of the series. I think this is starting out as the best season since #1. I'm fascinated by the changes in how it's being filmed, particularly with regard to the (literal, bloody) cutting. They seem to have taken a cue from the slasher genre and focused us (the viewer) in on cuts by making them slower and deeper.

As for Rita, I can't shake this feeling that something's going to happen to her. Like others, I kind of feel like she and the baby are getting in the way of the show's core plot line. Part of me thinks she'll be killed. But I go back and forth about that, especially considering my next point....

Lundy is going to die. I have little doubt. The whole lone wolf thing from the last episode has articulated or joined him to Trinity. Deb might very well fall for him (yet another Deb romance tragedy); but I am almost absolutely certain he will die in an EPIC showdown with Trinity, possible in the arms of Dexter. Or maybe I only HOPE that will happen. :r

Love the show. Can't wait for tonight's episode. You know Rita is gonna be pissed. LoL!

Haha. Yeah. His comedy stuff was fine. He's soooooo good in this role, though. Very dark. I love it!

[goalie204]

I'm also fed up with Rita, i like dexter coming and going as he pleases!

[Starscream]

Haha. Yeah. His comedy stuff was fine. He's soooooo good in this role, though. Very dark. I love it!
Kind of like Jimmy Smits, I have a new respect for both of these actors after their portrayals in this series.

Dexter needs to put her in line. Remember how weak she used to be in season one? Complete 360 from the beginning. Not saying I want to see a weak, scared Rita, but she's getting out of control. She's more like a mother in law than a wife in this season.:D

YA! he needs to lay down the law with her!

[rrplasencia]

can't believe i ddin't see this sooner. is anybody else getting tired of Rita? i think dex should take her out next.

[goalie204]

can't believe i ddin't see this sooner. is anybody else getting tired of Rita? i think dex should take her out next.

No way he would take her out, mother of his kid. Especially since he's trying to "blend in" and just be another regular member of society. But she's annoying damnit

[The Professor]

Wow. I won't say anything else ... and hope everyone gives others at least 24 hours before revealing any spoilers -- age of DVR and all. ;)

[goalie204]

i forgot to record it! hope theres one to download soon!

[Starscream]

Wow. I won't say anything else ... and hope everyone gives others at least 24 hours before revealing any spoilers -- age of DVR and all. ;)
I'll just say that the ending was very unexpected.

No Showtime On Demand?

[Dux]

I'll just say that the ending was very unexpected.

Yeah last night caught me by surprise.

[Starscream]

Yeah last night caught me by surprise.

Being as the last scene took place at the docks, I was expecting the two involved in the scene to go on board Dexter's boat and find a body, but quite the opposite happened.

[goalie204]

just watched it, good ep!

[stevefrench]

Yeah last night caught me by surprise.

Didn't see that one comming. :jd

[Darrell]

Didn't see that one comming. :jd

Do you think it was the Trinity killer? I mean naturally I'd like to say yes, but it seems out of that guys M.O. to shoot people. Could it be Anton? Jealous rage maybe?

[stevefrench]

Do you think it was the Trinity killer? I mean naturally I'd like to say yes, but it seems out of that guys M.O. to shoot people. Could it be Anton? Jealous rage maybe?

I was thinking Anton too. It's a bit of a stretch seeing he's so laid back and is not the most ambitious person in the world.:D

[Darrell]

I was thinking Anton too. It's a bit of a stretch seeing he's so laid back and is not the most ambitious person in the world.:D

I agree, however it's a little sloppy for the Trinity killer to shoot people and leave witnesses. :2

[MajorCaptSilly]

I'm thinking it was Anton and Dexter is going to be sloppy in going after him which will cause a chance meeting with Trinity. Trinity will go after Dexter's family then things will get kooky.

I think it could go either way.

I like this theory.



Dexter also alluded to revealing his secret to his family on his last kill. If Scott's theory is correct, he may be forced to tell Rita. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

[Darrell]

If Scott's theory is correct, he may be forced to tell Rita.

I don't think that will happen.

That would take away something that makes Dexter different, his ability to lead a double life without the dark portion interfering with his normal life.

[Starscream]

One hour till showtime...

[Starscream]

Not what I was expecting Trinity to go home to, but a nice twist. Rita is downright annoying.

[Dux]

Not what I was expecting Trinity to go home to, but a nice twist. Rita is downright annoying.

Yeah the Twist that Dex is just like Trinity was a nice Twist..

[rrplasencia]

agreed, rita annoying, she needs to get dex'd, first really good one in a few shows

[stevefrench]

Please make Rita go away. She was extra annoying last episode.:D

[goalie204]

yes, very annoying !

[Aldebaran]

While I get that Rita's plotline was a necessary annoyance to make Dexter more at home I just wish it wasnt so annoying. I guess though with his new shed and lock and key that plotline is hopefully over. I also thought it was cool how John Lithgow’s character helped Dexter be more normal or pretend to be.

[Starscream]

Nice episode this week. A calm, quiet episode for a change of pace. Save the nail-biters for the last three episodes.

[kayaker]

I was just watching a bit of 3rd Rock and it's hard to believe that John Lithgow is the same actor. He looks the same, but completely different persona. Trinity is a whole new role for him.
Anybody remember Harry and the Hendersons?

My memory of John Lithgow before 3rd Rock was of him playing more evil type characters, though I can't remember which movies. I think there was one with a young Denzel. In any case, I remember the discussion being that it was great seeing him in such a comedic role after all the evil roles.

Does anyone else remember that?

[kayaker]

I don't have cable so I've been downloading the episodes. I'm caught up to episode 6. So far so good. I now Rita is annoying, but it adds a realistic element to the show. These too are still a relatively new couple and working out their boundaries. The idea of hiding his other life in plain site is interesting, but I wonder how that will keep working out. He already lies to Rita about spending so much extra time at work (when he's out playing). It seems like an easy way to get busted.

In any case. A great show and I can't wait to see how they develop the rest of the season.:tu

Now I remember ... he played the serial killer in Blow Out, opposite John Travolta and Nancy Allen. Great Brian De Palma film. :tu

I haven't seen these roles. I'll have to check 'em out. I just remember Harry and the Hendersons and then 3rd Rock. I know I've seen him in plenty other roles, just don't remember them.

[kayaker]

I looked up his movie with Denzel. It was Ricochet.

In any case, he does comedy and serial killer very well.:tu

[Starscream]

This week's show was good. I liked the twist ending. Wonder how Dexter's gonna go forward from this. Glad to see another episode that didn't end with a big cliffhanger ending.

SPOILER ALERT!!!












I've been wondering if Trinity has caught on to Dexter. Who is the casket for?

The ending was quite interesting. It seemed like things were moving a bit too quickly and I was expecting him to discover it was the assistant before he took out the photographer. The photographer's disappearance will probably be blamed on the assistant, but will Quinn make any connections about seeing Dexter at that bar. Did he see the photographer there?

Quinn's no replacement for Doakes on the show. I loved Doakes' character on the show. I could care less if Dexter offs Quinn.

[goalie204]

a lot of ppl go missing on dexter and we don't find out anything about it, like jimmy smitts, so not sure if the photographer disappearing will mean a lot, we'll see

[Darrell]

I am thinking Trinity is onto Dexter. I don't think he's made it killing people for 30 yrs without being observant. The chances are he's well "onto" Dexter.

[kayaker]

Yeah. It's interesting that Dexter has had the wool pulled over his eyes a couple of times already. His brother may have been understandable, but Jimmy Smits also got around him. You would think his predatory instincts would kick in stronger.

[Darrell]

Dexter is getting sloppy IMO. It leads me to believe that next season will be the end of the series.

[Darrell]

Interesting episode this week, no doubt. I think Dexter is going to end up forming quite the bond with Trinity, the best way IMO to get him comfortable before he kills him.

[Dux]

Dexter is getting sloppy IMO. It leads me to believe that next season will be the end of the series.

Dexter is already signed for 2 more years :tu

[Cigary]

This is a great show and good to know that it will be on for a couple more years.

[Starscream]

This week's episode through me for a loop. I thought the coffin was for Dexter, but it was for _____ (in case you haven't seen it yet). The cycle would have been over if Dexter hadn't had messed it up. Nice.:tu

[kayaker]

The Dexter and Trinity relationship is definitely getting interesting.

With regards to who shot Deb, if it wasn't Trinity, who was it?

What's your best guess? Someone we know, or someone we don't?

[goalie204]

i think it was Christine the reporter b1tch or trinity killer, sitting down in the mustang, shooting from there, maybe thats why he gave the car to his son, i duno

My first bet is on Christine but I did wonder about Trinity sitting in a car. But they said the shooter was only 5' from her when it happened.

I think it might have been Anton.

Anton is much taller than Masuka.

[Darrell]

Anton is much taller than Masuka.

That's true.

Who is about Masuka's height that we know?

[MajorCaptSilly]

I think it might have been Anton.


Now you're agreeing with my on Dexter getting sloppy AND Anton being thee shooter. Does this make us best friends? "Cause I like you.


MCS

[kayaker]

Who is about Masuka's height that we know?

That's why I thought of the report chickie. She would be the right height and we don't know much about her. Seems extreme to get a headline and she hasn't really acted that crazy yet.

Other than that, I'm stumped.

Is there anyone else we are missing?

[goalie204]

That's true.

Who is about Masuka's height that we know?

i think it was Christine the reporter b1tch

^^

[stevefrench]

Who is about Masuka's height that we know?

Masuka. Maybe he did the shooting. Why not? ;)

[The Professor]

Masuka. Maybe he did the shooting. Why not? ;)
Masuka's crazy ... but not in *that* way. :r

I'm thinking it's the reporter -- it would fit the kind of problematic way the show often deals with women (make them crazy, overly-ambitious, obsessed, etc.).

[Starscream]

Rita? Very far fetched and not likely, but she's not that tall.

She's still annoying, but has anyone noticed that she has gotten more good looking each season? :wo:wo

[goalie204]

WOW! what an episode

[Dux]

WOW! what an episode

I love the surprise ending :tu

[Cigary]

Wasn't expecting that! This show just gets better and better!

[Starscream]

Dexter messed up. Gonna be hard to get to Trinity now.

Oh, and Rita's a *****.

[Cigary]

Dexter messed up. Gonna be hard to get to Trinity now.

Oh, and Rita's a *****.

After all the shyte she's been putting on Dex and she sits on the countertop like a hoebag playing tonsil hockey with the neighbor.

[str8edg]

Never saw the ending coming

I think the neighbor is a dead man... Masuka will let Dexter know and then... holy cow!

I LOVE this show

[goalie204]

I think Rita will come clean with Dex maybe, or Dex will confront her after Masuka tells. Not like Rita was forced to kiss him.

[str8edg]

she did stop the kiss

I have to give her credit for that much

[goalie204]

she did stop the kiss

I have to give her credit for that much

she still let him do it tho..BIT(H!

[Cigary]

she did stop the kiss

I have to give her credit for that much

Lol,,,if that is stopping a kiss then a guy who goes into a bank with a handgun can slide the note across to the teller saying he wants all the money in the till and then suddenly changes their mind and lets the teller know that they dont want to rob the bank now. What a great do over, huh?:r

[kayaker]

Wow. I thought the sitch with Trinity was getting really f'ed up. Then the ending happened.

The last couple of episodes should be interesting.

[Starscream]

The last couple of episodes should be interesting.

Damn right:tu

[Darrell]

I am not even concerned about the kiss. How about when the reporter opened the door and said "Hello, Dad or Daddy".

Now THAT surprised me!

[Starscream]

yeah, that was great.:tu

[Starscream]

Things are heating up!

[Azpostal]

Yes it is. I'm really glad they brought in John for the story line. I can't stand the whole family thing with Dexter!

[Darrell]

Man, only 2 more episodes left of this season.

The next 2 episodes are going to be intense!!!

"Hello Dexter Morgan" ~ Trinity

:eek:

[AdamC]

Dexter is by far one of my fav. tv shows along side with Sons of Anarchy (mainly because I grew up with the 81)

[Starscream]

Do you think that Dexter will find out about the neighbor and kill him? He's killed one innocent already, so why stop there? I think that Masuka will tell eventually (either to Deb or to Dex).

[Darrell]

Do you think that Dexter will find out about the neighbor and kill him? He's killed one innocent already, so why stop there? I think that Masuka will tell eventually (either to Deb or to Dex).

No. He won't, I don't think. I think he realizes the errors of his ways in the past and will stick to the code.

[Starscream]

No. He won't, I don't think. I think he realizes the errors of his ways in the past and will stick to the code.

Maybe the neighbor will die in a freak accident? Or will he be back next season to stir the pot? Maybe he has a secret crime or strange background.

[Starscream]

Absolutely AWESOME!!! I can't wait for the final episode next week. Looks like Deb is gonna find out about Dexter's mother and possibly brother next week.

[The Professor]

Absolutely AWESOME!!! I can't wait for the final episode next week. Looks like Deb is gonna find out about Dexter's mother and possibly brother next week.
Yeah. This season kicks ass! Seriously -- the best since the first season, imho. Possibly, dare I say, *as good* as the first season. Wow.

[Starscream]

Nobody else gonna chime in on this week's episode? Me and Dokk the only one's who watched this one? No body else caught this great episode? No one gonna tune in next week for the finale? (all said in my best Stewie Griffen impersonation)

We're the only ones cool enough, Andy.

[goalie204]

sundays ep was a bit slow after the previous one, looking forward to the finale.

[kayaker]

I think Dex is juggling too many things or I have too high expectations for him. He fell into Arthur's trap too easily.

Pretty exciting though. The Chief is playing great psychological games with La Guerta and Batista; Christine is gone; Arthur and Dexter face to face.

How do you think that's going to play out? Will Arthur try to out Dex? Or will they go their separate ways and let the games begin?

[The Professor]

How do you think that's going to play out? Will Arthur try to out Dex? Or will they go their separate ways and let the games begin?

Like the Highlander, there can be only one. :banger

I have high expectations for the final episode ... hopefully not too high. The season's just been so good, imho, that I'm expecting it to be one helluva roller coaster ride. :tu

I'm still more intrigued by the whole Deb figuring out who Dexter really is clip from the preview. Wonder if she'll know that the Ice Truck Killer is his brother.

Ah. I didn't see the episode preview. That will definitely be interesting. In the books she finds out who and what he really is. I only read book 3 but the dynamic is interesting. I'm not sure how far they will go that route in the TV series.

Sorry. Figured you all read the books. There's lots of stuff in the books that aren't in the TV series. Do you want to hear more?:D

Holy sh*t. Wow.

I won't say anything else for at least 24 hours ... except this: Season 4 = better than Season 1. Best season yet.

Wow.

[Starscream]

Holy Fuggin Sh!t!!!!!!!!!

WTF???

I was a little dissapointed until the last two scenes played out. But like Dokk, I hold my tongue for a day or so. Best ending yet.:tu

Wow is right. Never imagined that ending.:confused:

[kydsid]

Not often a hollywood writer gets a zing in on me without seeing from a mile away. This one though got me good. Emmy for sure.

[Dux]

WOW I was not ready for the ending of this season..

[Aldebaran]

Well that was surprising. I knew something was up but not what was going to happen.

Also Quinn = new Doakes?

[Dux]

I still Cant get over it... Wow what a great show! Any show that still has you in awe the next day :tu

[Darrell]

Yowza.

Wow.

[mrreindeer]

Ducking in here to say............SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I haven't watched the finale yet!!!! :lv

[Starscream]

I still Cant get over it... Wow what a great show! Any show that still has you in awe the next day :tu

Exactly. I still am in awe today. Especially since I heard "Venus" by Frankie Avalon on the radio this morning (the song that Dex played when he killed Trinity). Not easily does a television show give me this uneasy sensation like this. I am a grown and pretty masculine man, but it brought me very close to tears. It's like it was part of my family that was lost. Sixteen hours later and still all I have to say is "Wow"!

[The Professor]

Got in to the office this morning and the department chair and I chatted about the show for a little bit. It was such a fantastic episode and an eerily perfect end to a great season. I have no clue how they're going to top this next season....

[Starscream]

No way will this one be topped.

[mrreindeer]

Andy, seriously....shhhhh ;)

[Starscream]

Andy, seriously....shhhhh ;)

Stay out of this thread, David, until you watch it.;)

But I bet you can't help yourself.:)

Seriously.....I'm dying over here! Must get home....

OMG... I agree. This could be the best season yet.

[floydpink]

It took me a few minutes to gather myself after that ending and my wife was in tears.

We are both wondering if the new season will begin with the last season being a dream, but it seems like a fitting ending, however surprising.

I knew it was gonna be a good ending, but never expected THAT.

Something seemed wierd when Trinity said "it's already over", as Dex was about to hammer him.

[Starscream]

David, if you haven't seen it yet, don't read any further. It's been 24 hours, so the silence is being broken.

The whole Dallas "dream" thing's been done before. Don't think that will happen, but I have absolutely no clue how the next season starts. Will Deb move in to help take care of the kids? Will the older two be under his care or go to the grandmother (or any other of Rita's family member)? I know that he'll definitely have his child, but not sure about the other two. Does Dexter have to own up to anything with Miami Metro after Trinity killed in his house? What the F**k happens now? I guess we'll have to wait a year to find out.:(

I missed that.... what a show!

[Azpostal]

Dang what an ending!!!!

[mrreindeer]

OMG! Damn, I never liked her but to kill her off.....BRUTAL!

[mrreindeer]

My only beef with it is that Dexter's son is just too young to remember any of what happened....unlike when Dexter himself was in the similar situation as a child. He keeps talking throughout the season about 'loss of innocence' but for his son to have lost his innocence (as he had at around age 5 or so), doesn't he have to be older than a year old baby?

[mrreindeer]

Ok, can't stop thinking about this.....and Rita being killed in the bathtub in his home....begs the question....was this the first murder in that home or is this a repetition of a prior murder???? And...had Trinity already started (or finished) his next series of killings???

The boy he kidnapped began that series of murders, then Rita was next, then he never finished the cycle.



Don't think any murders had happened in that house before. She was merely a tool for Trinity to get to Dexter.

[str8edg]

Dexter is going to fish him out of the ocean, re-animate him and kill him again.

What a finish! I'm going to miss Rita

[mrreindeer]

Ah yeah, that's right.......or did he??? I wonder if he killed 2 others...(and he wasn't successful with the boy...)

[The Professor]

Don't make this too complicated, people. I'd be shocked if there was anything fishy going on in the narrative structure (e.g., a dream). I could be wrong; but I was mostly right about everything else this season, so that's unlikely (see post 34 in this thread). I'm talking to you, David. ;)

I think Andy's questions/guesses are pretty good. I wouldn't be surprised if the older kids go to the grandparents and Deb moves in to help with the baby (and further enrich her relationship with Dexter). I don't think Dexter has to own up to sh*t, though. He's a high-profile person and could, reasonably, be targeted. Hell ... just look at what's happened to Deb in previous seasons (e.g., Ice Truck Killer). That said, it wouldn't surprise me if someone (Quinn) started snooping around/asking questions and Dexter has to do something about that next season.

You really are psychic, aren't you!? Amazing predictions!

And I'd be really disappointed if they did it as a dream...but I just loved this season so I'm sad to see it's over and wouldn't mind to start it up all over again!

I think next season will have Deb snooping around on her bro instead of Quinn. You heard it here.

That makes it more interesting than a repeat of the 'ol Sergeant Doakes scenario.

And you do know that Dexter & Deb are married in real life, right?

That for me, was the biggest shocker of the season! :D

I just found this out myself.

Might as well toss in my prediction; I think the last thing you will ever see in the Dexter series is his son becoming the serial killer and it will solve a long unsolved crime.

It never seems to take long to move past a murder and forget a former star, so Rita will be an afterthought very soon and we'll all be spellbound by another drama.

On a side note, I watched "Law Abiding Citizen" last night and every Dexter fan should do the same.

[The Professor]

Yeah ... they're married (recently).

No....never......hahahahaa.

I did not know this.

Ian already let the cat out of the bag (which gives us some insight as to what might happen next year). He said that she helps him out in the novels, but that could easily change in the television series.

Interesting....I'd have a tough time if Deb starts assisting Dex...I just think that she's very much on the right side of the law and could never kill anybody, well, outside of her job...I mean, she didn't even kill the hot reporter chick & she very well could have, knowing that the hot reporter chick had shot her & killed her boyfriend, ex-boyfriend, whatever the hell Lundy was.

[floydpink]

I forget, is it confirmed that Dexter's father is actually dead? My mind is racing after that ending.:D

[mrreindeer]

as a doornail....but i'm forgetting how it happened

I don't think that means she'll kill, but she'll be an accomplice as she will know what is going on and will cover for him. That's only IF they go that route in the television series.

Heart Attack most likely brought on by suicide with medication.

[kayaker]

Wow. What a great end to the season. So many things they can do with the next season now. I hope they follow it up well.

[floydpink]

Yeah, I thought the Sopranos was good, but Dexter blows it away. The ending of the Sopranos was a total letdown. Never was able to get into Sons of Anarchy and gave up watching it.

I am a Dexter addict.

:tpd: Started watching Six Feet Under thru DVD's from Netflix and really like it. Like Dexter I find the characters to be interesting. And for the record I really liked Rita and will miss her. Can't wait for season 5.

I thought Rita was annoying during the last two seasons, but I will miss her too, Frank. Despite being annoying sometimes, I wasn't ready to see her go. Is it just me or did anyone else find her to become more good-looking each season?

I did. I always found her to be the issue that led to some of Dexter's miscues but what significant other wouldn't be even more annoying? Think of it like your own spouse. Would she or would she not be wondering where the hell you are for all these long stretches of time with to say the least sketchy at best excuses?

Exactly. That's why I didn't want to see her die. And it's probably why the ending haunted me for about two days afterward.




On a sidenote, has anyone seen the Dexter: Early Cuts online? I watched one and it wasn't bad. Not a whole lot to it, but it wasn't bad at all.

[ucla695]

I haven't seen this show yet, but I just got series 1 thru 3 from a friend who works at Showtime. It's time for me to catch up and start watching season 4.

[kydsid]

Well this seasons ending, along with the only bookstore in town closing and offering 40% off, got me inspired to buy all the books. Hope to have them read by next season.

I've watch the first 2 segments/cases. Interesting for some of the back story fill ins.

Artwork wasn't bad at all, but the plot (the one I watched was about the pyro who burned down the apartment building) is pretty weak. Very cut and dry.

Clyde Phillips (exec prducer/showrunner) is leaving the show. Taking his place will be some guy from "24".

Don't know how good Dexter will be from this point.:(

[Starscream]

Michael C. Hall and John Lithgow both won Golden Globes. I did not know that Hall had cancer until today. I hear it's in remission. Thoughts and prayers sent.
