why in the hell isnt their a thread for this show?
I just finished the 1st season over the past 2 weeks and i gotta tell you, i couldnt stop watching.. this series is unbeleivable good and you guys/gals need to check it out
Michael C. Hall plays Dexter and he does so beautifully imo, such a change from 6 feet under..
The real stars of the show imo are David Zayas (Angel Batista) and C.S. Lee (Vince Masuka)
Check this shit out ppl.. pm me if you want more infoz
Definitely one of the top 3-4 shows on television right now.
So you haven't seen season 2 yet? You won't be disappointed.
Kick ass show.
I liked season 1 better, myself. Hoping this season continues to bring the heat.
im on episode 6 of season 2.. actually watching it right now but paused it to put a 'za in the oven

Overall, yes, I liked season 1 better, perhaps because I felt the payoff was better. But season 2 had a very solid thread.
Just finished season 2 last week. Unfortunately, I don't have Showtime, so I'll have to wait till it comes out on DVD.
This show is incredible. I just picked up Showtime at a bargain rate of 5.99/mo for 6 months just so I can see the new one every Sunday. This season seems to be dropping off a bit compared to the last two but maybe that's because Jimmy Smits character is driving me nuts. :evil:
So I just finished episode 9, Im actually liking this season ALOT..
My big problem though is with Dexters new GF, anyone else find her extremely ugly? And annoying..
Ugh.. She makes me sick
/Rant
I just finished watching season 2 this morning. While I have to agree that season 1 as a whole was better, season 2 was def no slouch.
Knowing that he obv wasnt going to get caught kinda ruined the season for me, but it was still very good. Will be interesting to see how
Jimmy Smits fits into things when i start season 3 later today.
The first couple of weeks Smits was kinda pesky but his character is coming around now.
The creators of this show are so good at ending every show at a point that makes you want to watch the next episode right away.

Thats why i watch 5 in a row :wink: Yea.. his character is really coming along, Im all caught now to season 3 ep 5 and next week looks SICK!
Such a Killer show. Gotta love it!!
the bumping of the Weeds thread got me thinking of Dexter
IMO, its the best Showtime series and im pretty sure the next season starts soon.. ?
this show is great and this next season John Lithgow will be joining the cast as well for 12 ep.
Just added it to my Netflix queue a day or two ago. I am very stoked for this one. :crazy:

I'm pumped for the season premiere!
We just finished season 1 via netflix streaming... wow.
It took me a while to get into it too. I saw one random episode once, and I didn't like it at all. But, a few months ago I went back and started from the begining, and I loved it. Can't wait for Sunday!
We don't have Showtime so it wasn't a matter of not getting into it. When we first saw it two weeks ago, we pretty much committed every evening to watching the first season.
I watched the first season, but couldn't quite get into it.
It was well done, but I just couldn't really buy the premise of a sociopath that only targets other psychos and is a well adjusted nice guy in every other way.
The development of his relationship with his girlfriend in particular was a bit much for me. True sociopaths can't "learn" to have feelings for others.

I didn't think that he learned to have feelings...yet.
They demonstrate pretty well that he was trained to
emulate feelings.
Only in the end, toward his sister does seem he show an truly irrational, involuntary, emotional response. and that, I think is due to the breakthrough in his memory block opening up another part of him...

I disagree. To be honest, I don't think he shows many characteristics of a "sociopath". Yes, he's a serial killer ( :lol:), but that doesn't necessarily mean he's a sociopath.
In his normal "average" life: He has a nice relationship with what's left of his family. He doesn't have outbursts of rage. He's capable of holding a job without pushing away his co-workers. A sociopath is a pathological liar, which he is not (he only lies to cover up things he did, he doesn't lie to better his image, or "one up" people). They also take what they want, when they want, and he does not do this. He isn't hostile, manipulative or cunning. And, most importantly he has a conscience.
I could go on, but I don't want to give examples or scenarios that could spoil RJ or anyone else.
Also, I'm not saying that he's right in the head. Clearly he isn't. I'm just saying that he is not a textbook sociopath.

hmmm, ok the ol' wikipedia says the term psychopath is actually more broad and that most serial killers fall into this category. So perhaps that's the better term. In any event, I just couldn't buy the premise that he's been trained by his father to be a "good" psychopath.
I mean if he isn't a psychopath then is he just suffering from PTSD? I can't really get with that either.
Wow! John Lithgow as Trinity Killer, i think this season will be intense.
Seasons 2 and 3 were incredible, just wait..
This season has started well... I'm pretty into the show, but must confess that I am bigger fan of Michael C. Hall in Six Feet Under... that show was amazing.
Dexter is great though, and John Lithgow just makes it that much better.
This season just keeps getting better and better.
Oh boy, the preview for the next episode is just :-o i think this season will end with a really big cliffhanger and the trinity-storyline continues in season 5.
Okay, I'm officially like 2 episodes behind. Hoping to attempt a catch up tonight via DVR
Crazy episode! Can't wait for next week's finale!
zOMG!!!!
:-o
:-o
:?
:evil:
Just watched the season finale... whoa. That was insanity. Lithgow was nothing short of brilliant in that role this season. Incredibly well done on all parts.

Yeah, most definitely. They have been pretty good with the writing thus far, so we'll see.
The first 8 episodes were boring in my opinion, but the last 4 were SER RIDICULOUS!
Consensus from people ive talked to was that the ending (last minute or so) was a dream..
What do you guys think about that?

I wasn't that stoked on this season either for most of it but it definitely built nicely, and blew my mind in the last 30 seconds. No question Lithgow was outstanding throughout.
I been wondering if that was the case... just doesn't seem possible that Dex can follow what the natural progression would be there..... My boss was sure it was real and Trinity did it... :?
Very few shows I've ever seen have made me feel the way this season finale left me feeling.
Just getting into Dexter. I just finished episode 7 of season 1. I like this show!
Finished Season 1 last night. :clap:
Can't wait to start Season 2.
Trifecta!

I am!!! Dagny and I have watched the entire series for the first time over the past few weeks. We are getting ready to sit down and watch the last episode of season 4.
Totally pumped. I just started rewatching season 4 the other night to get refreshed. Speaking of last season, John Lithgow won an emmy for his performance. Well deserved, IMO.

just last week. Lithgow is great
Can't wait for the rest
just started watching some leaked episodes of season 5 and i take issue with a few things i've seen so far. for example, where did dexter's superpowers come from? the whole "flying vigilante" thing is a bit overdone, imo. and that threesome scene w/ dex, laguerta, and deb is a little odd to say the least. pretty sure they jumped the shark w/ this one...

They both did great jobs. All I know is that I absolutely
HATE Julia Stiles and cringed when I saw that she was going to be the 'special guest star' in season 5.
John Lithgow was a million times better than Smits, IMO.
I also think the show gets better every year. 4 > 3 > 2 > 1 (but they're all fantastic). Hopefully they'll continue with that trend.
super pumped.
Bout to start the last disc of season 3.
So far I'm not super pumped with this season, but I've heard great things about season 4 (which I am going to speed through like a madman in order to catch up before season 5!)
I just finished the first disc of season 4. Indeed, Lithgow is great. Much better than Smits IMO.
Did anyone else think the end of season 3 was a little bit of a letdown?
I just kind of knew exactly what was coming, and there didn't seem to be any big surprises or cliffhangers like the first two seasons.
Hopefully season 4 is better...

Yeah. Overall I wasn't really that excited (or unexcited fort that matter) about Season 3. For me it got a whole lot better with Season 4. Again though, I'm not bagging on Season 3 that much, just thought it got much, much better in Season 4.
finished season 4.
Sweet fancy moses, what an

Just now on Season 2. Started this serial about a week or so ago, I really like it so far.
Kind of scary how i feel myself agreeing with the logic of a sociopath sometimes though...hehehe
I just came across this interview (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/19/arts/television/19hall.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1) with Michael C. Hall. He talks about his cancer diagnosis and the future of Dexter.

Thanks for that, +k. Interesting words on Julia Stiles. Still not horribly in love with her as an actor, but hopefully she can change my mind during this season.
So, is anyone else a bit worried that they're just gonna redo season two's storyline (Miami metro detective vs. Dexter)? I sure hope not. Something tells me the writers aren't that lazy, but I still couldn't help but notice a strikingly similar storyline in the works. Maybe it'll just be a small sub-plot that gets worked out quickly.
Last nights episode is on the dvr waiting for Dagny to get home tonight. We're going to split a Southern Tier Pumking bomber and watch it. Should be a good night.

It definitely seemed like Quinn and Masuka are thinking it was Dexter. Hell, even Deb seemed to think that Dex was acting strange. I have been waiting for Dexter to 'get rid of' Quinn since season 2.

Yeah, me too. He may have started digging too deep this time...
new season made me finally get around to finishing season 4 even though I knew how it ended.
I would have never expected that ending had I not known it was coming.
don't like where season 5 seems to be starting to go.
I started season 1 a few months ago when my parents were watching season 4... They told me that the show was good.
Season 1 was excellent, got you into the characters and their surface traits. It was a good season 1 and let you know where the show was going
Season 2 arguably one of the best with Lila, Doakes and how that played out... Pretty crazy
Season 3 where you really find out more about dexter's past and how he became. The story in general was good but it wasn't that riveting. I didn't like the whole latino family thing and Deb and Anton were destined to fizzle.
Season 4 was really eerie. Lithgow was great and another arguable best season. I grabbed the torrent and was inadvertently spoiled the ending, but I guess it just let me know a little early so no biggie.
Season 5 I wasn't so into episode 1 except at the end, but episode 2 was good. I wonder how he'll get out from under this microscope, especially with his near-emotion in episode 1.
I'm reading the comments about not being a true sociopath or whatever, but why try to define it and say that someone can't be just like that... And if they can't - it's a TV show so who cares. In any case, it's neat to see how the seasons play out and how he "escapes"
I'm all caught up on Season 5 and I still love this show. Every episode ends when you don't want it to and it just keeps you comin back for more. Never a slow episode.

Well, now (based on the previews for next week) they're gonna rehash season three's storyline!
LOL
I am really into this show but the acting really throws me off sometimes. I've found some episodes to be tough to finish but then they end with such a cliffhanger i watch the next episode. I'm 1 or 2 episodes behind from being completely caught up on season 5. Can't really decide if i like where this one is going. I just hope no conflict happens between Masuka and Dexter because Masuka really helps make the show, IMO.
This season is pretty interesting, really developing the characters. Just when you think one thing...
I'm hoping they take this somewhere cool and don't just build, build, build then quick end the season. That happens way too much in shows these days.
We're about 4 weeks behind on Dexter. :frustrated:
Dagny has been having way too much homework. Damn you Grad School! ::Shakes fist in general direction of downtown::

I'm also quite behind. One lazy day and I should be up to speed.
I ordered showtime this fall just so I could watch dexter on sundays. I've only seen one. :frustrated:

Yes, it does. I spilled a lot of hate during the first few episodes, but things weren't what they seemed. I doubt this will beat last season with Lithgow, but unless they really screw something up, it will be a good one.
it's a very well written season but very slow. you don't leave an episode waiting to see what happens because you see what is happening and just waiting for it to get there.
I'm left just waiting for this season to play itself out and waiting for next season already.
predictable but season finale should be good next week.
very short episode this week and a lot to take care of next week.

Ser. Never really liked Julia Stiles all that much until Dexter. Lots of win.
We finally got caught up last night, we were 2 or 3 episodes behind. Can't wait for tonight's episode.
And sorry guy's Julia Stiles = Not Hot. Whereas Rita was much hotter. I don't want to be the parade rainer here, but I kinda hope Lumen dies, or goes to jail as 'the vigilante'.

C'mon now Charlie! I mean I guess Rita was hot, but her absolutely HORRIBLE acting killed it for me. I was kicking around the idea of Lumen going to jail. I think that's definitely in the cards.

Rita was a horrible actor, but honestly I feel the same way about Julia Stiles.
This season reminds me of one giant simpsons episode. A ton of shit does down and then it all wraps up nicely and everything goes back to exactly how it was. I kind of dug tonight's episode though, it'll be interesting to see where they take it next season.
Without giving too many spoilers, I'll just say that I did not like it as much as last years finale.

I've got the finale dvr'd and ready to watch when the little lady gets home tonight.

The trinity season finale was definitely stronger but I still liked last night's episode and the whole season at that. Ready to see what happens next season especially with Quinn, seems like he needs to be
eliminated.
I need to watch this tonight.
I felt like all season, I was waiting for next season anyway. the whole season felt like a setup for me as opposed to other seasons being able to stand on themselves. I guess I'll see how it ends.
I actually liked this finale better than last year's.
I guess Debra will be Dexter's next victim.

i yawned the whole way through this one, i liked only a couple episodes to be honest, it's like Dexter lives in pleasantville, nothing really goes wrong...
to have Chase org killed, Liddy killed, blood on Quinne's shoe, Lumen leave, Deb have empathy and the perfect move in Nanny all make this season like bouncing on clouds with carebears.
so no Dexter talk this season but I am loving this season so far. every episode gets better and I can't wait for the next Sunday.

True. This season is going well.
I still need to watch last season.
Season 3 bored the hell out of me - Season 4 was great with Lithgow, but I think Season 1 was the strongest and honestly I just kind of fell off and lost interest.
I'd like to start it up again though - been about a year since I've seen any episodes. Breaking Bad and Mad Men have been taking up all of my TV time!

so no Dexter talk this season but I am loving this season so far. every episode gets better and I can't wait for the next Sunday.
Yep. Sunday nights are pretty good TV-wise, both Dexter and Boardwalk seem to top themselves every week.

Don't forget Walking Dead and the new show Hell on Wheels.

Haven't checked out the new one yet, but yeah, Walking Dead is another kickass show. But, I tend to look at it as a Monday show, since I save it for the next day (too many Sunday shows).
So...be honest. Did anyone see that coming? I sure didn't.
Awesome season.

I've really enjoyed this season.

unfortunately, I was reading some facebook comments on the dexter page last week and many people were predicting this coming. I'll no longer be reading facebook comments. but I would not have seen it coming.
this season has been awesome and by far been the funniest.

I started to suspect Travis was playing Dexter when he opened the elevator. But the freezer? That one was a doozy.

That sucks, man. I avoid stuff like that because people love to read spoilers then go and make their awesome "predictions".
I was also cracking up with that whole chair/table thing.
it actually worked out well this season because it made me go back and watch some episodes. I'm creating my own theories on this season.
can't wait for the last 3 episodes. lots of things to work out.
I'm becoming less of a fan this season, especially since they already have next season set up.
previews for season finale look really good though.
Just watched last week's ep. Wow...
To quote Deb from earlier this season, HOLY FRANKEN-FUCK!
I've been dying to use that in real life, btw. . . I'll find an excuse soon enough.
hoping for more masuka yoda impersonations in the next 2 seasons.

Ha. He wasn't too bad, actually.
Also, I loved the ironic (and carefully-chosen) final words of the season.
Dexter:
Oh, God. . .

yes, I definitely thought those were very fitting words for the season.
Re-watching from the beginning with my gf (who hasn't seen any of em). In the middle of season 2 right now. Forgot so many things, mainly how much ass season 1 kicked. Also forgot how complex season 2 gets with Dexter's mindproblems. Good stuff. I remember season 3 being kind of slow but can't wait for Lithgow again...
Never made it past the first couple episodes of season 5. Kinda lost interest. But I heard the last season was seriously awesome.

Lithgow was great.
Last season was really great but you need to watch the one before it. It was good too.

Yeah I plan on making it through the entire series. Gotta prep for season 8!
Trinity FTW!
Last season was pretty action packed but seriously far fetched...

Shit's potent.
BUMP for the final season!
Anyone else still watching? I dug the opener. Can't wait to see what's up with the "specialist."
it wasn't as good as season 1 :wink:
I still watch religiously. should be a great season with a lot of twists and turns.

Haven't watched last night's show yet but...
Oh shit.
Good season premier.
Really good.
Took the whole episode to get there but damn.

if they bust out a HOAH tune tonight, I'm skipping Sunday SPAC to watch Dexter.
I haven't been a huge fan of this season, but it picked up a bit tonight.
Haven't watched tonight's yet but I'm digging the season.
It's a bit different.
Been sawing through Season 7 this last week. Just have the finale to go.
Not my favorite one so far, looking forward to the last season on release.
Either way, Yvonne Strahovski is hot.
I've been a fan so far. I agree with RJ, it has somewhat of a different story structure.
just starting the second season. watched the first this weekend.
i think this show is making me crazy. my internal dialogue with myself now has a dexter accent to it.

You're doing it right.
I just started this series via Netflix last night. I only got through the first episode of season 1, but I think I'm going to love it.
Let us know when you get to John Lithgow.
I agree that season 4 is epic. but I did rewatch season 1 on netflix and it was a very good season.

The first two and, especially, season four are great (I really didn't care for season three). Some of the later seasons are better than others. The one with Edward James Olmos got some hate, but I dug it.
have watched seasons 1 & 2 about 3 times each (both are brilliant) but cannot get past ~ episode 3 of Season 3 so have missed the rest of the series
Just started season 6! First 5 seasons were great. 6 is not disappointing at all.
More Dexter?

Good. That ending sucked and it really does need a little redemption.
I guess it could happen.
I think it's more likely that Showtime just wanted Dexter to be fresh in everyone's mind in time for the holidays. Help them move some of those box sets.
Show me Michael Hall is into it and then we'll talk.
I say, "Let it stay where they left it: the shit can."
Despite hating the ending, that show needed to end.

QuoteVarious websites picked up the story and spun it as if Showtime was bringing back the serial killer drama. Showtime reps told THR that the tweet was a typical post for diehard Dexter fans who, more than two years after the series concluded, still watch episodes together. (The show's official Twitter feed also posted similar updates pegged to Halloween and Friday the 13th.)
Looks like Dexter will stay in the past. And I think that's a good thing.
As RJ said, bad ending or not (which it totally was), 8 seasons is a very long run for a show like that. Its final season was at least a couple years overdue, but that's Showtime for you. Leave it to them to ruin a good thing by stretching it out for way too long. Weeds is a great example of this, and I'm afraid that Shameless is becoming another (you could maybe argue it's already there). They just don't know how to let their best shows end on a high note.
