Also, knowing the show's format, who will his dead-by-the-last-episode-friend be? I'm thinking Lundy again. I hope they do something different this season though, so it doesn't get stale mid-way through the season when the viewers will have all the answers to the plot. + Show Spoiler +lol they look NOTHING alike.. That would be a pretty entertaining mindfuck though.

the show is pretty intense. if you like shows like niptuck then youll probably like this
|
Aleast i have something to look forward to with season 4 of dexter coming out.. unlike sc2 beta
but yea dexter is by far one of the best tv series out there =p... House is by far the best tho!
|
Eagerly awaiting S4. Love this show.
|
sucks how I'll have to wait EVEN LONGER for the story to progress after seeing the pre-aired episode
|
Just saw the pre-air, how did they get away with showing John Lithgow's white ass so many time.
|
I just finished all three seasons of this show.
My conclusion:
Season 1 > Season 2 > Season 3. By substantial amounts. Was the first season directly based off the book and the other two were made script only or what?

Dexter has one more fan.
Review and questions below.
Season 1: Solid, very solid. A solid 9/10. Good plot, good script, good acting, good direction. everything was nothing short than a nice A.
My problem with S1
+ Show Spoiler + Rudy/Brian was killed too fast. the plot and story were awesome and I believe it could have been squeezed way more into S2, hell even moving Rudy/Brian as a secondary character or anything. Make him dissappear for a few episodes, then reappear again, keep it as a suspense element.
apart from that, no complaits at all
Season 2: Now what happened here ? The show is still very good, great quality overall but I give it a 7/10 perhaps 7.25/10.
My problem with Dexter S2
+ Show Spoiler +
the main character has lost it.
the identity of dexter has just lost.
Why ? Predictable plot, and excesive clichés during all episodes. Make that way too many clichés.
basically, I don't understand how Dexter can be so smart, so inteligent, so brilliant for one things and so careless, so unorganized, in essence so dumb for other things.
it's like one day he plans everything precisely, carefully, methodically, he is this cold-blooded organized person then another day he just does what ever pops in his head first.
IE. I always found uncomfortable how Dexter would keep his trophies stored in the AA of his apt right from the start of the show on S1, in fact it's one of the reasons I give it a 9 and not a 10/10. I mean after all, all anyone would need to find them was just a search warrant or simply break into his apt. So moving on to S2, Dokes finds his trophies, (at first he thinks it's Lundy), anyway he frames Dokes, all is back to normal and yet again he starts collecting new trophies AGAIN ? and hides them in the SAME PLACE? What's up with that ? shouldn't he have learned from the error ?
another example:
when he knocks Paul down at Rita's house he puts him on his trunk, drives him to a hotel where he shots heroin to him... and HE DOESN'T NOTICE PAUL IS MISSING A SHOE ?? I mean how careless is that ??
the character has become somewhat of more "human"... and honestly I find it hard ... make that extremely hard to believe, that a coldblooded serial killer can become so human in just a few days.
dexter has now turned into someone that can't deal with this problems the proper way in a quick amount of time.
- he didn't deal with the paul situation as soon as he should have to. - he didn't deal with the latin big guy killer situation as soon as he should have to. - he didn't deal with the lila situation as soon as he should have to. - he didn't deal with the dokes situation as soon as he should have to.
and all this happened because he started to regain consience ? humanity ? compassion ?
and another thing...... enough of the harry code thing, it's getting real old.
he keeps mentioning the harry code but we only know what ? rule 1 and maybe 2 more ? .... at this point I think he sohuld have his own code. I guess that's why the final episode of S2 says he's now the master.

a few questions about some of the episodes of S2 I couldn't understand.
+ Show Spoiler +
1 - what was the purpose of Dokes flying to Haiti ?
2 - did dokes wanted to bring the blood samples to Haiti or did he left them in the car on purpose or he accidently forget them ?
3 - why did laguerta fly to Haiti ? shouldn't a phone call be enough ?
4 - how and when did dexter find lila in paris ? I assume they prolly booked a hotel together but he definetly wasn't going right ?
5 - how did dexter was able to fly an epidermal (or whatever it's called) into Paris, making it through both Miami Airport and Charles de gaulle airport customs ? I mean , not that I know much about airport security but I'm not quite sure you can bring drugs with you through airport security right ?
6 - what was the purpose of lila stealing dexter's gps and moreover going to the cabin ? I assume she thougght that maybe he and rita were there but I may be wrong ?
7 - why is it assumed that dokes may have not commited suicide rather than considering his death an accident ? I mean, how many times can you turn on a kitchen without noticing there is a leak of gas... it's something that happens frequently.
8 - when dexter gets shot by dokes, was it just a cut not deep ? he seems not to limp at all the following days.

I know that is part of the ritual but the "ritual" almost got him caught.
my point is he should learn from his mistakes and bend the rules from time to time, of course, bend them for better, to improve

for those who havnt seen the leaked episode yet, season 4 episode 1 is starting now
