Premiere: September 28, 2008

The best show on tv is almost back! Can't wait

To start off the discussion, here's the latest from wiki:

Quote :

"Jimmy Smits has signed on to the season 3 cast. He will play Miguel Prado, an assistant district attorney who will work with Dexter to pursue a murderer who has affected both of their lives. Dexter befriends Miguel Prado which changes his way of life afterwards. It was also rumored that in the third season, Dexter kills someone innocent and that causes "an avalanche". Another main plot will be Debra's new love - "a healthy loving relationship" - but it wasn't announced with whom."

i still like the show, but the second season was kind of bad. the love story between Debra and the FBI guy was just terrible. hopefully they return to form this year

7/31/2008 8:11:50 PM

S1 was golden. S2 was good, but a lot of logical inconsistencies, especially surrounding Doakes and his trip to Haiti then his imprisonment in dexter's cabin.

7/31/2008 8:33:53 PM

IT WAS HIS BROTHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7/31/2008 8:41:04 PM

^^^It certainly wasn't up to the super high standard set by the first season but compared to the rest of television it was still pretty fucking good.

I stumbled across this show because it was recommended to me by Netflix. I thought it sounded interesting and figured I'd give it a shot. Not only was I impressed but I was blown away by the acting, the character development and of course the story! I watched both seasons in about a weeks time and can't wait for this season! Oh yeah, I even picked up Showtime because of this show (and also a little for boxing).

The first episode is now out on the bittorrents!

I'll wait for it be on TV in HD thxuvm.

9/6/2008 2:26:52 PM

I'm debating whether to watch it or wait till tv. If I watch it now I'll have to wait longer for that second episode. Decisions, Decisions.

the first 4 episodes leaked this early last year.

Someone get to it!

9/7/2008 10:30:12 AM

totally LOVE this show

i got season 3 episode 1 and its a good start to the new season

i dont have showtime so i'll have to get my eps on the low low


i havent read the other threads but has anyone read the books? i read darkly dreaming dexter and it was very much like the show but took a dramatic twist at the end i was not expecting. there are 3 books total

9/11/2008 6:01:17 PM

ha i think the first episodes have leaked for all seasons. sucks because i watch them and then have like one or two months before a new one. so i just watched the first one this year. it was good, i'm excited for the new season.

9/11/2008 6:02:43 PM

Showtime usually has their DVD screeners floating around. 3x01 is the only one that has leaked thus far to my knowledge.

9/11/2008 6:16:15 PM

I liked the first episode. continues the Dexter style of awesomeness

9/11/2008 7:01:29 PM

^^^^ The second book is pretty good. The show didn't follow it so if you want another Dexter story then pick it up. I avoided the third one because I heard it took a supernatural approach and skewed pretty far from the other books and show.

i love getting people into this show

first my friend got me into it then i got my step dad into it and now he tells everyone he knows about it

then i got the bf into it and we're dying for season 3 to start!

this is pretty much the only "new" show i actually watch -- i dont have time to keep up with other shows but this one is totally worth it

i plan on reading the second book in the series and depending on how it goes i might read the third. i'd be interested to see how the plot continues since the first book ended dramatically different from the show

what did everyone think?

also did anyone else hear the reports ab a stuntman getting accidently stabbed on set??

one of the actors picked up the real knife instead of the fake (wtf why is the real one right next to it) and stabbed him. it wasnt fatal

10/3/2008 8:31:02 PM

^hadn't heard that

This last episode was somethin special

10/7/2008 3:38:49 PM

10/7/2008 8:21:07 PM

10/7/2008 8:25:11 PM

wow the ending of that episode was so crazy. completely different situation for dexter.

totally killing me (no pun intended)

10/7/2008 10:44:13 PM

episode 2 was awesome!

10/11/2008 12:07:19 AM

the writing on this show has fallen off so much from the first season

10/11/2008 2:15:15 AM

why do you have to wait to watch it?

10/11/2008 2:21:43 AM

I love you Michael C Hall. I love you.

10/11/2008 2:46:12 PM

i got the ep then went out of town

i could have watched it the night i got it but my bf and i watch the show together so i waited for him

good ep, def set up the rest of the season. it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out

10/11/2008 3:19:32 PM

Rita gets hotter and hotter

10/13/2008 2:47:00 PM

Good Christ she sure does.

10/13/2008 2:50:30 PM

this show is fucking great. I wish I could binge watch it right now.

10/13/2008 3:39:15 PM

^^ & ^

10/13/2008 3:39:18 PM

I wonder if they are going to go with the books and have dexter start training cody and astor in the code of harry, kinda got the vibe from this ep when he referred to them as "his" kids

10/14/2008 1:16:18 AM

But harry knew that dex had the brain of a serial killer, cody and astor aren't his biological kids so they more than likely don't have the same brain makeup as he does i.e. serial killer tendencies.

10/14/2008 1:23:42 AM

^ in the books they do, from seeing their dad beat and rape their mother. cody kills a neighbors dog, etc.

10/14/2008 1:25:11 AM

Did he not kill a dog in the first season? Or something happened with the neighbor's dog, and I thought it was Cody that did it... I thought the last episode was pretty good, or better than any this season so far.

10/14/2008 5:34:54 PM

the thing that happened with the neighbors dog was that it was crying and barking outside and the owner didnt give a shit

so rita stole the dog and gave it to a friend of hers from work bc she had 2 nieces or something who'd give the dog the love and attention it needed

cody hasn't been known to harm any animals in the show, the book could be another story

10/14/2008 6:32:49 PM

I really liked the most recent episode. I laughed at the "shut the fuck up Nathan" part

10/15/2008 3:25:55 PM

"I wonder if they are going to go with the books"

it is my understanding that only the first season was even remotely similar to the first book, and from there on it's all original material...I haven't read the books, granted but people I've talked to who have read them have confirmed this

10/15/2008 3:44:27 PM

i guess i'm the only one who feels this way, but so far this season is even worse than season 2

im enjoying this season more than i enjoyed season 2, it feels more cohesive


however, i do agree that they are overdoing the jimmy smits scenes, i like them but i feel like they are too frequent
