TV: Dexter

[Splash!]

Isaac...didn't want to die, and he liked Dexter on a personal level. What would've made the change in behavior more smooth is if they did a better job of showing Isaac coming to an understanding of just why Dexter is the way he is. Then we could see Isaac develop some kind of scruples based respect for Dexter. Then it'd be easier to believe that he could look past Victor's murder...provided Dexter gives him the help he required. I mean...lovers are important and losing them hurts...but if you continue living you might love again.

Right, I could have bought in to the whole Isaac cooperating with Dexter if it didn't happen so suddenly. Only last episode Isaac calmly pointed out that them killing each other was inevitable, regardless of the circumstances. Yet at the beginning of this one, the first thing he does is ask him for help, even going so far as to suggest that he would overlook Viktor's murder (and it seemed like he was actually going to keep his word!). The only explanation we get for the sudden change of heart is that he was 'scared'.

Edit: I also just remembered Debra's non-reaction when Dexter told her to call off the surveillance on Isaac because he was going to help him instead of killing him. She pretty much went "Oh sure, anything to oblige".
