Ok, I've only watched the first episode of series (season for you Yanks) one, but I gotta say I like it. I'm pretty sure it was never on tv over here - bloody shame.

Talk about twisted (Sotwizted).

So who watches Dexter?

I recently got into it like month ago. Watched it all in like a week. One of few shows I really got into as of late. However with that I must say I was a bit disappointed with how it went during some parts. Like the show is really interesting and you want to see what happens next; but I just felt they could have done some things better. But I do really like the show.

I got into Dexter once Season 2 started. Watched the entire season, and loved every minute of it. Then I got season 1 for Xmas and watched the whole thing in a day (I was sick) and thought it was great.

For anyone who hasn't watched this show, do yourself a favor and pick up season 1, you will be hooked!

Can't wait for season 3

I've been watching it on NBC. But I think it's a watered down version if I'm not mistaken. Can someone fill me in?

Heros Welcome
03-05-2008, 09:47 PM
Yeah it is watered down.

I mean I haven't watched it on there since I feared it would be. Based on what they do on ShoTime I doubt they would do it on cable. I mean Deb's character is a cursing, swearing detective. It's probably taking a lot away from her character.

Great stuff. I read the books, and the show is amazingly better. The creator had the concept down great, he just sucked at writing climaxes. The show is greatness though.

Only seen as far as the end of Season 2 so far, but it's a show I like a lot.

Just have to wonder how far they can sustain the premise though - sounds like the novels only managed two good books, as the plot of the third sounds incredibly dodgy. Just as well the TV series is going off on its own path I guess.

So for anyone who's keeping up...*Highlight*...Who do you think the skinner is?

I'm heavily leaning toward Miguel or Ramon at this point. I dunno if anyone noticed, but when Debra was interviewing that black kid a couple of episodes ago, the sketch that was drawn looked exactly like Ramon. And when the tree trimming thing was discovered, the camera zoomed into a shot of Miguel's clippers a couple of times.

I seriously think they're just trying to throw people off, however. All that seems too obvious.

Wait.. you lot across the world call a season of a show a 'series'?

That doesn't make any sense. You can't say series 1, and series 2, and so on. It is always a television series. It is a series of episodes that make up a season. A series of episodes don't make up series one, or series two. That is stupid. Seasons dictate what year the show is on.

Everyone but you calls it a series. I don't see the big problem -- a series is a series of episodes. There are 12 episodes in a series of the very awesome Dexter. What you yanks refer to as a series, we call "the whole fucking show." As in "the whole fucking show of Dexter -- go fucking watch it."

Lila is so fucking hot, by the way. Someone put up pictures of her.

I thought this season was weakest of em all personally. I liked the serial killer tag team storyline, but overall finale wasn't as intense as other for me where I was wondering what would happen. Probably cause it was Dexter who got kidnapped, and seeing as how they have been advertising new season already you knew nothing serious could happen to him.

Yes it was a weak finish, but a feel good finish. While everyone likes a cliffhanger ending, the finales of Dexter's three seasons so far tie everything up.

Thought it was poor though, because Miguel was the lead "villain" and they blew their load on him in the penultimate episode. The whole George Washington king bit felt forced.

I wonder if the blood on Rita's dress has any significance to anything?

Ol Dirty Dastard

It's amazing.

i have watched all three seasons (well, up to ep8 in season 3) in the last few weeks and have been blown away with how good it is. How the fuck had i not heard of it before???

All the characters are fantastically written and have real depth, the actors are all superb. Even the fricking opening titles are brilliant. Seriously not one bad thing in this show.

Also Jimmy Smits = best cast addition ever

umbrellacoporation you are a maniac...Lila was a great character and Jamie Murray is a fucking godess :foc:

Mr. Nerfect

I can't read this thread anymore in fear of spoilers! Not a complain, but let me just tell you that I'm loving season three so far. I'm glad Showcase gives a shit enough to get it so soon after the US airs it. I mean, really, we're usually a lot longer behind.

Jimmy Smits has been fantastic from what I've seen. He's playing such a likeable character, and to be honest, I had no clue he was such a good and natural actor. I'm hoping this leads to a career revival for the man. Well, that's if his career quietened down anywhere. I'm not too sure on the man's history.

How long has Michael C. Hall been a co-executive producer on the show? I'm wondering if that might be why it seems a lot of the time that Dexter gets to show off his range. Twice now I've seen Dexter "acting." First as a smack addict, and then making an anonymous phone call. Both times it has been absolutely hilarious. This man's career is going to explode in some people's faces very soon.

I'm so glad the show has been renewed for seasons four and five. That seems like a really big signing for a show to get, because it seems that even the big franchise shows take it year at a time, these days. Personally, I think Dexter is probably the best show airing on television right now. I got out that Mad Men to see if it was any good, and while I'm only one episode into that, I've got to say it just doesn't stroke at the heart like Dexter does, even though it is very good.

Also, I'm at about episode 10 season one of Mad Men, and disappointing.

Mr. Nerfect
02-11-2009, 05:55 AM
Yeah, so far Mad Men is disappointing me. It's clever, and it's got some sharp witticisms in it, but generally, the main character doesn't seem as untouchable intellectually as I think the writers want him to be, and the plots lack any sort of real heart.

Dexter is about a serial killer, but it's still a lot more organic.

I've started season 2, it starts to pick up, stories start moving along a bit more. Still has potential. I dunno, it's missing something.

Oh, and Dexter is one of the best shows on TV today.

Mr. Nerfect
02-11-2009, 11:21 PM
I think Mad Men is missing heart. That's the only thing I can call it. And also a sense of modesty. It seems to think it is far more brilliant than it really is. I'm going to keep watching, though. I'll give it a chance. One of the few DVD series purchases that I sort of regret, though, which doesn't bode well for it.

That's a good way to put it. I just like myself a more modest and deservingly confident show.

Speaking of which, we're half-way through season three over here now, and holy fuck! Dexter has got to be the best show on television right now. I'm so glad it's got two more confirmed seasons after this one. Jimmy Smits is like becoming my favourite actor solely with the role of Miguel Prado. I seriously don't know how this show doesn't win every single award ever made.

IC Champion

Peter Griffen, The Godfather.

Mr. Nerfect
02-12-2009, 04:20 PM
Looking back over things, I cannot believe Oz hardly even got nominated for that sort of shit. Ah well, it's sort of a badge of honour, I guess (having a show that is too good for recognition). Tom Fontana should have easily won some writing Emmys, and there are plenty of actors who deserved acting noms (Lee Tergesen, Eamonn Walker, Chris Meloni, J.K. Simmons, etc.).

There is no reason that Jimmy Smits should not win the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Also, with Michael C. Hall's performance being a little more "showy" this year, and a lot more range being shown in it, he's got an even better shot at winning an Emmy this year, too.

It's likely that Mad Men will take the Best Drama Emmy again, though. Or even Breaking Bad. The powers that be certainly love their alliteration and AMC shows.

I look forward to your reply. As of now, I am going to go off and watch the first season of The Wire. I bought the first four seasons yesterday on DVD for $15.98 Australian each. That's like $10.45 US a season, or something. A fucking bargain over here.

IC Champion
02-12-2009, 04:43 PM
You should really borrow it, it's a great show. Watched it about a month ago, one of the best shows I've seen. It's up there with the Sopranos and Oz, IMO. Not to mention it has one of TV's greatest characters ever Al Swearengen played by Ian McShane, who is fucking awesome on the show. It was created by David Milch, who did NYPD Blue, which I'm not really a fan of but maybe you are. I regret not having watched it sooner.

Mr. Nerfect
02-12-2009, 11:43 PM
Never watched NYPD Blue. I always prefered Law & Order or Homicide: Life on the Street for my cop buzz. I'll definitely check out Deadwood, though. Thanks for the recommendation. :y:

I did hear that Ian McShane is particularly brilliant on it.

IC Champion
02-13-2009, 03:33 AM
Ian McShane steals the show really. You HAVE to watch it as soon as you can. I've been telling anyone with a working TV to watch it for the last month. Such a brilliant portrayal of the old west too. It's one of my top three shows ever, easily. Just talking about it makes me want to go watch it again, but I have to finish lulling through Mad Men. Just go watch it, now.

Deadwood is going to be next after The Wire, for me. I've seen bits and pieces of The Wire from around the place, but this will be my first time going through it from beginning to end. Watching the fifth episode in the first season, I am in complete awe at how great this scene with D'Angello and this girl in a restaurant is.

He's talking about how he doesn't fit in, and she says that they're not the only black people here. He says "it ain't about that," and this waiter brings up the dessert cart. D grabs some cake for this girl, and the waiter tells him that they're only the samples, and you can just feel the awkwardness D is experiencing. Fucking genius.

I started watching Rescue Me, but for some reason I had to stop. Had too much on my plate, or something. Need to get back into it, because I remember hearing so much good about it.

John Lithgow has signed on to play Dexter's new serial killer.
The Emmy-winning actor will play Walter Simmons, aka the "Trinity Killer," so named because he murders in threes. Simmons is a mild-mannered suburbanite who shows up in Miami, on the run from FBI Special Agent Frank Lundy. (Keith Carradine returns as Lundy after a season-long absence.) Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) becomes infatuated with the Trinity Killer's methods, and his ability to evade capture for more than 30 years.
Lithgow will appear in all 12 episodes of Season 4, which premieres Sunday, Sept. 27.

There are a ton of sites out there that will put up links to episodes just a day or two after they air. DVR and the Internet (and loose Chinese copyright laws) are beautiful things. :)

Surfthechannel.com is usually pretty good with TV shows. The quality is usually pretty good...just don't bother with youku links (take ages to load) and Megavideo has like a 90 minute limit before they make you wait an hour to watch more videos.

My favorite thing to do? Get one of those extensions for Firefox that lets you download any videos on a website as an FLV, download a free video converter, convert the FLV files to AVI or any other DVD-compatible type, and burn them onto blank DVDs. Fuck Showtime and their $40 season DVD sets that don't come out until the next season starts. ;)

Just watched the season premiere that leaked onto the Internet.

Good to have Lundy back...I still love the interactions between Dexter and Lundy. I like how Dexter's struggling to function with the lack of sleep caused by the new baby...it humanizes him a bit and makes him vulnerable to slipping up. What are everyone's theories on what will happen with the wreck?

Only thing I'm not crazy about -- the Batista/LaGuerta relationship. Where in the fuck did that come from? I don't know why, but it bugs me. I have more interest in the Deb/Lundy/Anton love triangle than this. I don't need two love stories going on as secondary storylines. I haven't been this upset since they killed off Doakes to end Season 2.

*****SPOILERS********

Kinda bumbed Lundy's dead :( Wished it was Deb instead. I wanted to feel pity for her when she was freaking out about it to Dexter and how she was a fuckup, if someone else had acted that scene I could have really felt her pain. But instead it was more awkward...like a good scene but she annoys me so much.

Also, I feel like Rita has to figure out Dexter's secret, she sees how good he is at lying now... sooner or later she's going to figure something out.

Lithgow has been the fucking man, extremely impressive even though I knew he could act.

Figured I'd ask what everyone's opinion was on the Lundy front.

Who do you think shot him and Deb?

I don't think its Trinity, not his MO. I'm leaning towards a jealous Anton, maybe even the vacation murderers reporter? Doing what it takes to get a story. Maybe even Quinn!

I have a feeling the reveal is going to shock everyone.

Jura
11-11-2009, 01:03 AM
I was thinking Anton could have shot them. He didn't fatally wound Deb and shot her once but shot Lundy twice and killed him. Yet would he really shoot Deb even out of jealousy and anger. Plus she told him she slept with Lundy after wards.

As for the Trinity killer being the one even if it's not his MO he could have done it because he knew Lundy was on to him. The newspaper plus seeing Lundy at the hotel may add up to Mitchell feeling threatened enough. Also there's that awkward bumping into Lundy and dropping his keys which is way too weird to have let it not go anywhere between the both of them.

Lithgow has really made this season the best one yet for me. I loved the drawn out sequence at the end of him walking through the police office, completely rigid and robotic, and then he snaps out of it with, "Hello...Dexter Morgan." Great escalation to that moment to with Lithgow asking for Kyle Butler and getting denied, then seeing the picture of Dexter on the bowling team and getting a little closer, and then finally meeting Dexter. That might have been the moment of the season.

Heros Welcome
12-07-2009, 08:00 PM
100% agree with you thed. What made the last 15 min of the epi great was Dexter being out classed by another serial killer. Hes so used to be one step ahead of anyone, but it was Arthur that set the trap and Dexter taking the bait. And i agree with you about how great the whole sequence in the station was. And the shot they had of Arthur saying "Hello Dexter Morgan" was shot perfect. As it had him looking down on Dex. Showing that he won't be outclassed, and its one of the few times you have seen Dexter on the ropes like this.

Its also ironic that in a way that 2 of the most sucessful serial killers are coming to a face to face in the middle of Miami Metro and know one knows anything.

The trucker killed a hooker or something but the evidence was contaminated and he got off without any charges.

It doesn't ensure that he murders Arthur. It just gets the police off Arthur's trail at least for a little while until Dexter can kill him. And he wants to kill him because Dexter takes it personal. He wants to kill Arthur himself. That is why he saved him from the suicide attempt and also from the police.

He wants to kill Arthur himself. That is why he saved him from the suicide attempt and also from the police.

He also has to kill him to save himself. If Arthur were to go to trial, Dexter would most likely show up as an expert of some sort. Surely Arthur or his family would recognize him, and question this. Or if they brought Arthur down, there would be a chance they'd bump into each other. He has become to connected now that Arthur has to just disappear, as opposed to being caught.

Pretty freaking bumped though for the finale. Looks all sorts of intense and I am very curious as to how it will end. Hopefully they do this finale justice as opposed to last seasons which I was not a fan of. I am curious as to how they will be able to satisfy everyone needs, especially with such an intense build. Not just throughout what I feel is the best season, but also through the last 15 minutes or so of the episode. It almost reminds me of a build up to a boxing match. With the way Arthur entered the arena, stared down his opponent. Now it is time to fight.

With Shotime really pushing this be the a huge happening in the finale, and with Clyde Phillips saying that its the best episode yet and that the fans heads will blow off once the credits roll...

I ask my fellow Dexter fans of TPWW...what do you think is going to happen in the Season 4 Finale ?

I think either Deb or Rita will catch Dexter in the act of killing Trinity. He knows Dexter's name, but he doesn't know who he is (killer), and that despite the police suspecting the wrong man, Dexter knows everything. To Trinity, Dexter may still look like he has suspicions, but he is just a dirty cop who wants a payday for the pedophilia.

This could lead to Trinity going to Dexter's home and it would be appropriate since Dexter has spent so much time in Trinity's. My problem with this theory is that I don't think Rita could stomach knowing what Dexter is, but Deb might be able to. Even if she doesn't know the whole picture, she might overlook him killing Trinity because of Lundy. Dunno, probably way off.

That would be the place to go next season logically, having just had a huge killer this season. Dexter is about growing and figuring out who he is. Season Five could be how he figures out who he is when someone else knows his code.

In the books Deb knows he is a killer.

You just made me even more excited with that promo. Didn't hear a lot of that, makes me want to rethink a lot of it. A think Deb will have a big roll in it all. With the teaser of Deb finding out about Dexter's mom and all, something will happen with that. I think Trinity must die, he just can't live or go to trail, as major questioning/suspicion would be drawn to Dexter.

I also think Dexter is fucking up big time. I think he is going to be out played throughout the episode. As someone else said, he is usually one step ahead of the game. Not this time, he will be one step behind. I think Deb will stumble upon something major, find out even more about Dexter. Maybe an intense three way stands, with Trinity positioned to kill Dexter, and Deb eventually positioned to kill Trinity. Trinity may start to explain what Dexter has done, befriended the killer. Dexter won't be able to tell the truth, and what lie could he possibly tell to get out of it. Seeing how the theme has been about family, Deb will eventually kill Trinity to save Dexters reputation. As for what will happen with their relationship I dunno.

That is my theory as of now based on what I know. Probably will be way off, and they wil have thought of something 103912410834129480 times better.

Dexter has always been vulnerable. It's just no one knows he's after them. You just need to know where/how to look or follow him. His brother got him, Lila used his GPS, Doakes stole his blood slides, the coke dealer who killed his mother tracked him down, the skinner was able to kidnap him and hell even his friends kidnapped him for the bachelor party.

With the way the previous seasons have been Dexter cleans up the mess and then life goes on. The next season starts over with someone new. I have a feeling it'll be the same thing this season. Most likely Trinity Killer dies and no one knows what really happens besides Dexter. I hope I'm wrong though and they do something different.

This is my worry. With such an awesome build up, I just feel it's going to be the same shit once again. Giving them benefit of doubt though one more time. PROVE ME WRONG DEXTER WRITERS!

Now is the ideal time to kill off Rita IMO (not that I want her gone...she's smokin'). He seems to be realising how much he actually cares for her. I do believe that Dexter adopted the kids when they were married, and he has one of his own with Rita. It would be interesting to see how he would cope as a single parent in season 5, while also trying to satisfy his need to kill.

I am new to Dexter.

My GF got me hooked at the start of season 4, and that's all I've seen except a few randoms that were on TV, should really watch it from beginning but season 4 was a fresh new story and it's been awesome.

They said on the preview that the biggest twist will happen during the last moment of this season, I dunno what to expect, if I had to guess, Deb and Dexter kill trinity, maybe someone sees them?

Can't wait for this season finale more than any show I've watched. The build up has been immense, and I don't have any clue where they're going to go with it.

Really hope it isn't a let down. Earlier this season when they first delved into Trinity, I was kind of disappointed at how crazy he was. Was hoping he was going to be a much more thoughtful killer.

He is still great, but I was a bit underwhelmed by it after seeing the preview for the episode. They always do that.. show a preview to be like "Does.. THIS happen?!?!" and then of course something way different than what you thought would happen actually happens.

Yeah, I'm with Req.

I've said it before. 3rd season. The preview where Dexter throws the stool through the window, freaking out at Miguel. I knew it wasn't likely that that would actually happen, but it made me wonder. And it turns out it was a daydream. :/

did you mean that he seemed remorseful for his kills earlier in the season?

I *think* Req means that Trinity seemed so together, with all his kills considered and planned. In the first few episodes, he seemed so cold. But then as we learn more, especially the episode he kidnaps the kid, we find that he's totally and utterly bat shit crazy. I think the original impression we got of Trinity was that he was a cold blooded mother fucker who killed because he could.

Mind you, I suppose it works, because it shows that while he has a cold exterior on the outside, we can see how Dexter can actually infiltrate Trinity's family and get to the real man.

I think Deb will end up finding out more about Dexter than she would like to know, and that's what will carry over into Season 5 -- they've hinted at it all season with her digging through Harry's CI files and the tease for the finale has her asking him about Laura Moser. Haven't decided whether or not she sees Dex kill Trinity, but I do think that's a major plotline for next season.

As far as the books go,
Doesn't Cody start to show some of the same serial killer tendencies Dexter had as a kid in the books? For some reason I remember it being Cody who tortures and kills the annoying neighbor's dog that Rita just ended up giving away in the TV series. It'd be interesting to see something along those lines develop next season as another thing Dexter has to worry about at home. He's already shown a bit of a violent spark by getting into fights this season, and his history with his biological father (seeing him rape and abuse Rita in the past, etc.) would make for a believable trigger, like Dexter seeing his mom get cut up.

I made no comment about his acting skills. Just an observational comment about how he looked. Wearing ugly shirts and jeans and having a messy, moppy hair cut made him look like he was still stuck in the 70s after he got of jail. But then again you said you haven't seen the the prior seasons so you wouldn't know what I'm talking about.

RatedGSuperstar
12-13-2009, 11:53 PM
Wow.

Watching the episode a second time really exposes some awesome bits of foreshadowing. It especially puts the scene were Trinity dies in a different light, too -- I had a feeling he was too calm during it all, and the trademark "it's already over" line came out of the blue. Watching the first time, I had a bad feeling when Dex came back home and the place seemed to be so messy, like there was a struggle, which was weird if everyone was getting ready to go on vacation.

It'll definitely be interesting to see how they go about the next season. Does he blame himself for her death, considering how many chances he had to kill Trinity earlier? Does he go on an anger-fueled killing spree, forgetting the code? How the hell is he going to manage taking care of three kids by himself, unless Deb or Rita's parents help out?

Definitely a great way to cap off the best season so far. One of the best seasons of TV I've seen in any series, really.
