^^^^ I know that, but they still might pull small pieces. I really hope they don't go with the books, since they introduce some supernatural bullshit in the 3rd. But pulling a few ideas here and there I can see happening

10/15/2008 5:36:55 PM

i think the reason for the frequent scenes of jimmy smits (besides it probably being in his contract) is to make the audience feel as crowded as dexter

10/16/2008 4:27:59 PM

i'm done with this show after last night's episode.. there's not a single interesting storyline going on this season.. someone let me know if it gets interesting

that was the rumor during season 2 last year, but nothing else has been said since. it's still so hard for me to see him as a straight man, despite the hot sex he's been having with Rita. my first love is Six Feet Under, and we all know what kind of character he played then

i agree. season 2 wasn't nearly as enjoyable for me as season 1 was, but i'm optimistic that season 3 will turn out alright.

there's not enough serial killing to be honest. but I'm still loving the show. the subtle humor in this show is awesome

10/21/2008 5:50:53 PM

I wish Dexter would find out Jimmy Smits character is killer, and offs him. Thus eliminating him from gaying up this show. It's like, Law and Order:CI adding Jeff Goldblum, just don't do it.

Need more killing, chopped up body parts, something... The first episode of this season was good, second mediocre, and the third one kinda sucked.

I actually CAN confirm this. I saw them both at the Avett Brothers show last New Year's Eve in Charlotte. They definitely looked "close".

He's an Avett Bros fan... just another reason why Dexter rocks.

come on you had to love the fact that he proposed to rita but repeating the words of a murdering stalkers confession

10/22/2008 4:41:38 PM

2 more seasons of dexter after this one?

jackpot.

10/22/2008 5:06:55 PM

^^exactly! just one example of how great this season is so far. there's sooo much this season has going for it right now. the WRITING in this season is better than that of any previous ones imo.

the ACTION clearly is not. and there could stand to be some more killing for sure. but the themes that this show is playing with so far this season have been great and consistent. i love how they weave the same themes through not just episodes but also with different people's story lines. they've explored so much more about what it is to be human, what makes you good/bad, etc in this season.

and as for all the jimmy smits...at first i hated the jimmy smits overkill...but now i'm digging it because of how well it plays with this "human" side of dexter.....if that real human side even exists. i love following along and see his character evolve, because just like dexter himself, we're trying to figure out what makes him human and what makes him a robotic serial killer. seeing dexter try to figure these things out and going back and forth on them has been some journey.

this last episode on roles we all play was stellar btw. and the asian guy had me lollinz all over the place.

10/23/2008 12:33:20 AM

I loved the first season of this, I need to catch up to the current season heh

10/23/2008 12:25:42 PM

YAY

tonight Dexter gets back to his stalking and killing

10/26/2008 7:38:17 PM

wow shit is getting good

10/27/2008 12:34:05 AM

love it
love it
love it

dude, rita is hot

10/27/2008 10:35:35 AM

Shit's getting real.


I wonder if Dexter is going to end up having to take care of Prado.

10/27/2008 10:38:25 AM

holy shit. Episode 5. Damn what an ending.

10/27/2008 7:10:55 PM

^^ I can see Prado taking the fall for Dexter instead.

10/27/2008 8:41:08 PM

i was all like at the end of episode 5

but did you guys see the scenes for the next episode?

SPOILER ALERT



























made it look like miguel set dexter up to get caught. it'll be really interesting to see how things will end up with miguel and dexter. the options are either a) miguel tries to use dexter and control him so miguel dies b) miguel knows already or finds out that dexter killed his brother, tries to get dex for it, and miguel dies. imo anyway.

also, the chicky hines (sp?) case wasn't mentioned in this episode, but clearly it'll be revisited soon. probably somehow relates to some dirty scheme of miguel's that he ends up using against dexter.

^^ah yeah you're probably right. it was probably some misdirection in the editing to make it look like prado was screwing dexter. the writers wouldn't do it in the next episode at least. they'd play it out some more. and yea i could see miguel taking the fall for dexter. everyone else who saw dexter for who he was ended up dead. it would probably be too obvious to have dexter kill miguel too. who knows?!!?

[Edited on October 27, 2008 at 11:41 PM. Reason : ]

10/27/2008 11:33:32 PM

I think miguel rushing out was actually maybe a diversion, at the least it takes attention away from him as being the one that let that guy escape. and perhaps he has an escape plan already worked out with dexter.

10/27/2008 11:52:35 PM

so i guess they weren't supposed to notice the inmate went missing so soon. that random copper said he had to go put the band on his wrist so that's why they discovered him missing and they started the manhunt. if that copper hadn't gone in there to put the band on him, no one would have noticed him missing and the plan would have gone off without a hitch.

that's awesome that miguel managed to get them out of there. and i think it's great how miguel has turned into this crazy guy who wants to kill bad people, just like dexter. definitely enjoying this season much more than season 2.

11/3/2008 2:38:24 PM

Soda torture.. fucking awesome.

11/5/2008 7:33:46 AM

^^ yea have to say that was pretty creative

11/5/2008 1:01:37 PM

damnit i missed the first 10 mins of tonight's episode

11/9/2008 9:25:00 PM

love this shit

11/10/2008 12:01:30 AM

2nd'ed

11/10/2008 8:37:06 PM

almost caught up. Great stuff so far.

S1 > S3 >> S2 >>> most other shows

11/14/2008 11:41:30 PM

I can agree with that.

11/15/2008 12:59:53 AM

DAMN

shit just got real

11/16/2008 9:55:36 PM

I hope Dexter kills Miguel

11/17/2008 2:10:16 PM

i liked everything about the episode except for Miguels facial expressions during the kill. It reminded me too much of Anakin Skywalker going to the Dark Side.

11/17/2008 3:12:11 PM

^ha yeah i thought that was a little over the top too. but nonetheless, wow what an episode.

11/17/2008 10:11:08 PM

outstanding. I still had doubts about Miguel up to now. But there is no doubt, now, that he's in it for the long haul. Probably too eager for his own good.

... but yeah, too bad he will end up dead before the end of the season

11/17/2008 10:44:12 PM

btw - Miguel as the unibomber?
hilarious

11/17/2008 11:20:38 PM

I am just wondering if the people really into season three have been watching since the first season? This show has gone steadily down hill since the first season. I watch this season with just audio while I do other things on the computer. First season was incredible, two was good but a little over the top, season three is just like the third movie in a trilogy--terrible.

11/18/2008 3:50:24 PM

?

I think you'll find that you're in the minority. I've watched since the beginning, and while S1 is still the best, S3 is a considerable step up from S2.

It's taken a different turn for sure, but that was pretty necessary I think to keep it rolling. He couldn't just go on killing person after person, with nothing else in his life changing.

of course, how they decide to deal with the baby and the marriage will have a huge impact on future seasons.

11/18/2008 4:06:57 PM

Gotta agree, S1 was the best, but S2 wasn't as good as S3, though the first episode or two of this season did drag along.

I think Miguel is going to do something stupid, and Dexter will end up killing him.

11/18/2008 4:21:23 PM

This season is so unbelievably weak...I am baffled by people thinking this is a step up from two. Jimmy Smits character is not interesting in the least. Rita and Dexter's marriage and pregnancy? This is definitely not the kind of drama I watch this show for. Deb's character is more and more annoying and pathetic than ever before. LaGuarda being a slut who just has happened to have some kind of history with every character also not very interesting. The hallucinations or whatever where his dad talks to him? Come on. The plays on words that everyone raves about get an occasional chuckle from me, but even most of those seem very, very cliche and predictable. I cannot believe I am in the minority on this, but to each their own.

11/18/2008 4:39:40 PM

well it looks like Miguel is going to start killing people on his own.
you don't think that makes him interesting?

11/18/2008 4:43:38 PM

^^ im inclined to agree

season 1 was awesome but it was also based on a book

the writers took a different direction from the rest of the books so thats probably why you're detecting the differences in season 1 and 3

we got 2 more seasons, at least, after this one. i hope they dont turn this show to complete shit

11/18/2008 4:58:45 PM

ahh Jimmy Smits going die!!

11/24/2008 5:35:23 PM

It's looking that way.

11/24/2008 5:51:49 PM

i knew it was going to happen but didnt see dexter getting mad

11/24/2008 6:11:42 PM

god I love this show.

Miguel is going to dieeeeeeeee.
I'm a little scared for Rita and the baby.

11/24/2008 6:30:53 PM

The thing is, you know the truth about Miguel's brother will end up coming out before he dies. That's when I expect shit to hit the fan.

11/24/2008 7:02:00 PM

I think this is a great season, much better than season 2-- although maybe you guys don't agree because you don't get to see as much tits as you did the first 2 seasons


Also, this rivalry thing thats going to go down-- you know its going to be tense.

[Edited on November 24, 2008 at 9:58 PM. Reason : k]

11/24/2008 9:54:44 PM

I agree, S3 is way better than S2. I am actually sorta sad there's only 3 episodes left. Feels like it just started.

11/24/2008 11:34:18 PM

^ yeah you're right... took a bit to get the ball rolling I guess.

True.

Miguel is as good as dead, I think I called it in the 3rd episode of the season. I enjoy this season a lot more than 2. While Miguel is no Doaks, and I didn't give a shit about Lyla (except her boobies), I enjoy this season a bit more. Things really are starting to get crazy, with Dexter realizing he's being used and all. There are a number of things that COULD happen, but I think any of the ways that things can turn out will still be intense as fuck.

I'm curious about the future of the show. I was told there won't even be a season 4, but I am sincerely hoping that is incorrect.

Showtime picked up Dexter for Seasons 4 and 5 back in October.
