TV: Dexter

[Yukimura]

This season is shaping up far better than I ever anticipated. Dexter is seriously falling out of control in a totally different way from the first season now that there's so much more pressure on him and watching him try to deal with it is always intriguing. At first I hated Lilah but more and more I find myself liking her for giving Dexter the closest thing to a safe haven as he's ever had. I almost wish Rita would get out of the picture since I strongly doubt she's capable of understanding, let alone accepting, what Dexter has been doing his whole life.

[Yukimura]

Wow, I'm loving the 'new' Dexter. That line he gave the guy in the train car was perfect.

And the Lila situation is really interesting as well, deep down I don't really think Lila would accept Dexter any more than Rita, but at least she's not an ideal chasing drone like Rita is. Nothing Rita does is ever surprising or unexpected, including her over reaction, attempted reconciliation, and reaction to Dexter's confession (which was completely unexpected and great). She's a giant liability for him since she's always snooping around and trying to make him do things he doesn't want to do that don't do anything for him. Lila is off the wall crazy, but she actually helps Dexter with his problems and gets him to do stuff he doesn't want to do that will actually benefit him in the long run.

Yea, and Lila doesn't have a controlling, sarcastic bitch for a mother either...

[Munsu]

Dexter has to go back and kill the fuckhead that killed his mother. I really don't know why he hasn't yet, or at least tried to find out more about his boss.

I loved the latest episode. Best part was when he told Doaks that he owns him and them gave him the headbutt of awesomeness. Pure ownage. Right now it's my favorite scene in Dexter so far. Dexter really stepped it up when dealing with his problems (not the emotional). I love it.

I don't like Lila all that much. Even though she show her tits. And still i can't find to like her character. Don't get me wrong. I realize that the drama she brings the series is a good thing but i just can't find myself liking her character.

Also finally Debra admitted she like Lundy in more then a "i admire him as a superior and role model" kind of way.

But got damn. "I own you" BOOM. Orgasmic.

[Munsu]

Last night's Dexter was insanely good, been a while since I've seen him being this badass.

I was hoping he would get some info on Jimenez bosses, the ones that ordered his mother to get killed. The investigation intensifies and Doakes finally gets what he wanted. That aside, the Monster is back.. so lets enjoy him while we can.

[TwisT]

If i could, i would have sex with this episode. This must be the feeling people describe when then say they met an angel.

Everything is starting to heat up. Doaks found the blood samples. He's gonna be like a pitbull now. Also the question is what will happen to Dexter in the end? Now they know the Butcher is an inside man. He can't make it look like some random criminal is the one. And i don't see the hunt will just go away until they get The Butcher. Maybe Doaks will be the one that goes down for that. He has already killed one person in cold blood and the other guy on the boat. both tied to Doaks. Maybe that will be used against him. And Doaks is involved in the cases. Although that would sadden since i love Doaks character and if there is a season 3 i would want him to be in it.

Lila is finally getting what she deserved. That was such a joyous moment for me. I hope she does get to meat the monster. Hope she gets vindictive and starts messing with Rita and gets an appointment with Dr. Dexter and is plastic wrapt operating room ^^

Also i wonder if Debra would find out about Dexter, what would she do? Would she turn him in. Or would she side with him and shut up about it. And if she would turn him in, would it change anything if she found out that her father new about it and trained Dexter to do those things?

So many questions and so little answers

Anyway best episode ever. I hope it continues to up the pace and awesomeness for every episode.

[kAi]

Yeah, this episode was awesome, so much has happened and things have turned for the worst for Dexter.

I'm trying to think what Doaks is going to do with those blood samples, possibly for the reason you have given TwisT, it can work.

I've always thought about what would Debra do if she found out everything, including Harry, I can't think of the reaction, but it's going to be good.

And just to give you guys a hard-on:

So good I had to watch it twice. The shit is hitting the fan all over the place for poor Dexter with Doakes snooping around in his life, the investigation narrowing tighter and tighter, and Lila being a psycho stalker. The only way I can see him getting out of this is by pinning it on Doakes somehow and then killing him. Fortunately, since Doakes was kind enough to take the blood samples with him without any kind of warrant or official capacity there's now no way to prove in a court that they were ever actually at Dexter's house. I would imagine Doakes will opt for a one on one show down instead of trying to use the law to bring Dexter down anyway, so Dexter just has to win a fight with him and spin a story to pin the whole thing on him.

But then you have the wildcard Lila. She's proven herself quite insane and there's no telling what she'll do and how it will affect Dexter. The fact that she riled him up so much that he showed up in public wearing his murder shirt just shows how much she's fucked with his head, but other than starting the fire she hasn't really actually done anything to warrant him chopping her up. Perhaps a little exception is in order?

[Turkish-S]

lol this was the best episode this season... thought dexter was turning into a pussy. Funnyest part of epi was when that small asain guy ran out with a big ass gun to save dexter.

[kAi]

Episode 9 is out, get it from your favourite places!

Episode talk:
Another awesome episode, I loved the part where Dexter thought he had been caught by Lundy, and started apologizing to Deb. Also, the confrontation at the cop shop with them kinda of interrogating him. Playing it cool the whole time and he thought he was the one they were trying to pin it on.

The meeting at the end with Doakes and Dexter was good, Doakes was stunned and like you're a sick fuck, but all this works in favour of Dexter now, especially with him locked up in there, it also makes it look like that he's involved with the drugs.

I love the interactions between all the characters makes it so interesting.

[TwisT]

Haha this episode was fucking awesome. Doakes got ringside seats to Dexters little show. Well even though it was through that plastic wrapper he could still see shades, see blood, hear the noise from the saw, and could probably smell it all too. Even Doakes was seriously grossed out. And Dexter continues to find out things about his father.

Now it seems that he killed himself and it might be because he realized what he created and it wasn't what he imagined. He probably couldn't kill Dexter. I'm guessing from one of two reasons or both. He loved Dexter like his own son and/or he couldn't really kill someone in cold blood. And he couldn't live with it either so he took the easy way out.

Lila continues to try and fuck things up for Dexter and poor Batista. That man can never get a break. Psycho-bitch. I really hope she goes to far and someone kills her. Hopefully Dexter. Cut her up when she is still alive.

Well it looks like Doakes will not get out of this in any way. Either he get arrested as the Butcher or he gets out of the cage and dies in a violent confrontation with Dexter or the police that will try and arrest him. Maybe he attacks Dexter and the cops kills him to protect him.

It would be sweet if Deb or Maria did it. If Deb did it, it would strengthen their sibling relationship. She already depends on him as moral and emotional support. But i think Dexter has come to value family even more now so he would get closer too. If Maria did it, it would create some fucked up drama. Maybe she would doubt herself and really think he was butcher. Or maybe she would become Dexters new nemesis for the next season.

No mater how this all turns out it's gonna be great.

[Yukimura]

This episode was awesome but the preview for the next episode was even better. I don't know how many of you actually get Showtime and saw it so I won't give a way details but things are going to get even more complicated for Dexter before it's all over.

Also...wtf Lilah? How is framing Batista for rape supposed to get Dexter to like you? Even crazy stalker bitches should be able make reasonable decisions about what's going to get them what they want and what's not.

[Munsu]

I guess Lilah is winning a trip to the butcher's table.

[UChessmaster]

You won`t have to wait long to find that out, the last two episodes of the season got leaked aparentelly.

http://www.mininova.org/tor/1028743 Episode 11

http://www.mininova.org/tor/1028745 Episode 12

[TwisT]

HELL YES!!!!! These where the two best episodes in the history of TV shows. Fuck, it was probably better then any movie i can think of.

So where do i start. Well for starters poor Batista getting framed but he had awesome help from his friends tracking down who she really was and making sure she couldn't do anything to him anymore.

Well enough of him. Let's get to Dexter. I can't believe he actually doubted himself and was going to turn himself in. I actually thought he would until the end of episode 11 where Lila found the cabin and Deb's little talk about how you chose who you are and just ride it out. Then it became clear that Lila was gonna kill Doakes. I actually feel sorry for Doakes. He was an awesome character and the actor did a great job. So it both saddens me to see him gone from the show, and it pained me to see him die like that. But it had to be for Dexter to get out of it.

But the same second Lila did that you just knew that now Lila has killed and just became a target for Dexter's code. I just loved the part at the aquarium when Dexter was thinking "In a bodybag". But she put up more of a fight then i thought she would. Trapping Dexter and the kids and almost succeeded in killing him. But not even fleeing to another country could save her at the end.

And it was sad too see Doakes memorial service so empty. I guess that's to be expected when everyone thinks you are one of the worst serial killers of all times. But it's nice to see Dexter embracing who he is. And to see him realize that he needs the people around him, and that they are a part of who he is. Without them i think Dexter would just turn out like Rudy in the end.

Most shows just gets worse for every season that goes by. Just take Lost and Prison Break as an example. Maybe you guys think it's better now but for me the first season where golden. Not much can top those. But slowly it deteriorated. It's still great shows but not the kind of greatness they had in the frist season. And i thought Dexter would follow the same pattern. I mean there wasn't much that could top his own brother being an nutcase too and playing with Dexter. But i have to say that this season was alot better then season 1. He had too go so much deeper into himself in this episode and really deal with his inner demons. I'm glad i was dead wrong on that point. The question now is, what are they going to do too be able to top season 2? Can it be done? Before this season i would have said no but since they proved me wrong i actually have hopes for a season 3 that can become the best season and make this show hold the position as the best show for the moment.

[Junior]

DEXTER. OMG I LOVE THIS SHOW.

I own all the books as well. I'm only on ep 6 in Season 2. Can't wait for the rest.

IMO, it's one of the few REALLY good shows. That don't get boring at all.

[kAi]

Well, at least we don't have to wait too much longer, another month for the third season.

[Turkish-S]

huh? really?? Maan that kinda sux... Dexter was kinda over. How many more secrets can Harry have?

[Junior]

Dexter? Over? Pffft.

That must never happen.
