Hey you know what would be a good show? A show explaining why only shows that have people solving crime or killing people are hits in the year 2008. Also, how about a show that explains why people want super realistic violence and gore in their entertainment, yet dont mind if the shows are in fact very scripted and very obviously unrealistic. And it would be cool to see a show that explains why the average human being has nothing more in their mind than to sit and observe scripted planned dramas that are designed from the ground up to please modern audience taste trends so that advertising dollars soar. Also, i wouldnt mind seeing a show that explains why not even one person has the guts to point out these real life modern day dogmas in the entertainment industry.

Where are those shows?

Those shows wouldn't fit the aforementioned "proven format".

Police and doctors have repetitive lifestyles that work well in episode format. There is also plausible enough reasons for a lot of dramatic stuff to happen.
At the end of the day what makes the show interesting is the good dialogue between the characters and seeing them deal with the cool situations that the writers put them in.

House is my favourite show but I don't pretend that it makes sense. Like many others I just enjoy seeing the characters reactions to different events.

I like house too, but I see its format as annoyingly predictable. It's the same thing every episode.
Person gets disease.
House thinks he has solution, its wrong.
Next solution wrong.
Third solution still wrong.
House has revelation during last 5-10 minutes of episode.
Battles cutty for treatment.
House wins, patient lives.

I enjoy Dexter more because I don't always know the ending. But they are two different types of shows. I suppose Dexter will repeat itself in the sense that he will not get caught, but it is still a good concept imo and I enjoy watching it a lot.

Don't get me wrong, house is still a great show, house is an awesome character and fun to watch, but I don't think I would watch it ritualistically like I would Dexter. I would watch it randomly and enjoy it. Yeah I won't enjoy the minor season story line, but theres plenty of drama otherwise. I can't see just watching one episode of Dexter being good at all.

I'd like to mention that Miguel not seeing Dexter's car is understandable. Think; how much attention do you pay to cars near you? Parked a street away, almost out of eye sight? Not much. You see them, but you don't focus on them. My dad could stalk me in the car I've had for ten years, I'd never know unless he did a poor job of it. I don't glare at the cars I see during the day, to know whether its a car I'm familiar with, a car I've seen earlier, etc. Miguel was busy with his life.

Wow what a fantastic episode, just watched it last night. Incredible! I was afraid for a moment that Dexter would buy into Miguel's BS once again but he just shut him down. He should have confronted him about his lies, the fake shirt, Laguerta, etc., but he certainly threw it all in the open when he said he killed Oscar. Now they'd better hope the Skinner doesn't have an alibi so it can be properly blamed on him.

I would agree with you under normal circumstances. But think about the mentality someone would have going into a potential murder? A state of paranoia most likely, I would not overlook any car in that situation. I am a paranoid person at nature, so I notice things like this anyway.

I was once leaving work and going to my car and I noticed that my mom had stalked my car down there and was parked a little across the lot to spy on me. I walked up to the car to laugh at her.
+ Show Spoiler +
She was following me/watching me because I have a problem with a psychopath who is my girlfriends dad and she thought he might try to attack me, as if I am not one of the most paranoid people in the world. I wouldn't get surprised

So I think its a somewhat legitimate claim to the show that it could SEEM unrealistic. However I will take into account two things. 1. Miguel is by no means anywhere near as smart a killer as Dexter, I also doubt he would be as paranoid, just by nature of his arrogance. 2. Who cares? Does this minor questionable moment take away from rest of the series? Maybe for you, not me. This circumstance seems completely understandable.

Oh and whoever said he killed him in Ellen Wolf's house, thanks. I thought it was La Guerda's house which really confused me, because Dexter is more cautious then that and in her house would just be stupid and arrogant. Not his style (With the exception of sending his Manifesto to the police in S2)

I was hoping dexter would reveal how many people he actually killed to Miguel, just to stun him and amaze him.

The only thing I didn't like in that previous episode was that failed attempt to catch skinner. I mean, Quinn was on him, and he's stronger and had a gun.
Of course, fucking of course.

Oh come on you can't honestly say that you're watching house to see if he gets the right diagnosis this time too. You watch house because the character is really well played and the jokes are funny and the chicks are cute.

As for the "mass shows depicting the same crap" that someone else was pointing out, it doesn't really matter. You get to watch what you want. Nobody is forcing you. I like dexter and house, I don't watch heroes, 4400, 24, lost but I do like this new season of prison break (finally some interesting action). So everyone gets to pick whatever they like. If you want different things, watch south park, family guy, the simpsons and american dad.

Just as an objective argument, it's not always about stronger or better armed and such. Like it was stated in "the usual suspects", it's all about having more willpower than the other guy. It doesn't always count if you have a gun if you're not willing to take a life. You hesitate for one second when facing someone who has no issue with taking your life and you're dead. Now I know that in theory Quinn is a cop and should have been able to get him, but in real life, a gun is not always the deciding factor.
Im not a n00b, I just play like one.

gogo torrent download I guess.. You probably wont encounter any spoilers either, if you are lucky. Or maybe just simply watch the show at her house?

I just think it's a risk Dexter wouldn't take.

Doesn't really matter though.
