I just love this series and found the coolest, sickest thing ever. It's done by the show and I showed my wife and it freaked her out, but she loves Dexter and understood it.
All I can say is the Dexter Treatment rocks and if anyone has a sick sense of humor they should try it out.
This one is cool, but don't click unless you have a sick sense of humor.

That was awesome. I too love Dexter and hope it comes to DVD soon. One of the best premium cable channel series ever. Ranks up there with "The Soprano's" and "Deadwood"
I agree 100% I like Lila. I don't care if she is nuts. She is way better looking than Rita.
Again I agree about Lila. Is it just me or is crazy on the right woman a little sexy?
"Dexter" Gets Two More Seasons
By Garth FranklinWednesday, October 22nd 2008 6:45am
It's the best show on cable and arguably the best show on TV right now, and the good news is its life has just been extended.
Showtime has renewed top-rated drama series "Dexter" for two more seasons says The Hollywood Reporter. The network has ordered twelve episodes each for Seasons Four and Five, with the fourth season set to go into production in the spring in Los Angeles to air next Fall.
"Dexter" stars Michael C. Hall as a complicated and conflicted blood-spatter expert for the Miami police department who moonlights as a serial killer.
The acclaimed series is currently a third of the way through its third season and a Blu-ray version of the first season is scheduled to hit in January.
Time to bring back this old thread. One of my sons has been bugging me for awhile to try this series out. It sounded intriguing, but I just never seemed to find the time. Well, I have watched the first 2 episodes of season one now - and I am hooked. The show is very slick - very cool - and a bit disturbing too. But the main character is very interesting and the acting is very good. I can't talk too much about it, because I just am now getting into it. But it's a fascinating show.
You certainly have a lot of fantastic viewing ahead of you Rico. I absolutely love this show. It's the reason we subscribe to Showtime. I am chomping at the bit waiting for the next season.
This show is awesome... and Dexter is incredibly sexy.
Just watched episode 4 today. It just keeps getting better and more intriguing. The cast is great (nice to see Darla from Buffy and Angel too). I'm trying to treat myself with an episode every day or so, after I do my job hunting.
Big Dexter fans here, too. Very much looking forward to the next season, though I can't imagine it being better than the first two, which were killer (hee hee). I'd say more, but I don't want to spoil anything for those still catching the first seasons.

Ok - I'm about 4 episodes now from the end of season two. Still loving this series. Then on to season three and I'll be all caught up! A very cool and sometimes disturbing show.
Finished season two about a week ago - really cool ending and the way everything came together. I just watched episode three of Season 3 tonight. Good season too so far. I like how Dexter is sort of changing and evolving over time. I hope to be caught up in time for when season 4 starts next month. Still, this is one terrific series.
Well, I'm all caught up now. Went through season three a bit quicker than the others but really enjoyed it too. NOW - season 4 starts this coming Sunday, Sept. 27th! Can't wait!

This is a great little piece they made too. Love it!

"Time to Kill" ha!! clever.
*really* looking forward to new episodes. We don't have Showtime, so have to wait a little bit to see them. Grrrr!!!
Nice to see Keith Carradine is back; liked him a lot. Not sure about John Lithgow half-nekkid though. These previews didn't show much, if any, Angel or Masuka. I know the family dynamic will be the focus this season, but I'd like to see more of the cop characters, personally.

For those without Showtime, you can add it via most cable and dish networks now for only $ 7.99 per month. Cool deal!
Yes, Dex is back! And I much prefer John Lithgow psychotic over goofy. Everyone remembers him from 3rd Rock, how many remember Blow Out or Raising Cain? Dexter just better be careful what he says to that baby, you never know who's listening on the other end of that baby monitor.
Good start to season four. Loved how they played with the main theme credits during the show, showing how things are different for Dex now. I like how just about everyone is back - and some we haven't seen in awhile like Carradine's character. Looks to be a great season to come.
Good second episode for this new season. Dexter is such a fun character and things are starting to heat up and the characters are all interesting. Can't wait to see where it all goes. And dang - John Lithgow is on creepy dude in the short scenes he is in.
Yes this show is incredibly good at manipulating the viewers emotions. I don't know if it's the writing or acting or a combination of everything, but they really do a great job of putting you inside Dexters mind and it is an extremely creepy place to be. The actress who plays Dexter's sister (apparently Michael C Hall's real life wife) kind of gets on my nerves but other than her the supporting cast is spot on. They have had great guest spots in every season, especially last year from Jimmy Smits and now John Lithgow is just fantastic.
I think Michael C. Hall is just dead on perfect as Dexter. He just does such a good job acting as the character with such little touches in his voice, mannerisms, certain looks, and so on. I enjoy the rest of the cast too - even Deb. Anyway, just an excellent show with a great cast.
Good season so far and I really enjoyed this most recent episode. Quite a bit happened...
[spoiler]Big shocker at the end of the episode. But, not totally unexpected. I don't like how Showtime shows clips for the next episode, it spoils the suspense and I have started to not watch them. Anyway, the show is as good as ever.[/spoiler]

Awesome episode! [spoiler]You'd think that Carradine's character would have been a bit more concerned about his cover being blown when he saw his picture all over the front page of the newspaper. At least taken some kind of precaution maybe?[/spoiler]
My thoughts....
[spoiler]I'm not exactly sure right now that the shooting was related to the Trinity killer. It looked kind of like two people attacked them. Maybe just a robbery? I'm not sure right now. But, this is definitely going to pull Dexter into the case. Look out Lithgow![/spoiler]

I agree, [spoiler] There was definitely something unexplained going on with the shooting as they did not show at all who the killer was. But I would be pretty surprised if it was unrelated to Trinity. It would make sense that Lithgow could have a problem functioning as a killer outside of the pattern he has established for so many years, but perhaps he arranged the shooting some other way? [/spoiler]
I love this show!
Still watching and enjoying this season of Dex. Lots of interesting things going on so far. I think there are like four episodes left. Anyone else keeping up?
ChadH and I are about a week behind, but we look forward to it every weekend. I'm nervous about how the season will end.
One thing I/we have noticed is that the writers are having Dex make some pretty stupid moves/decisions. It seems that in previous seasons they highlighted his patience and intelligence, but this season he seems to make some bad decisions hastily. I *suppose* one could blame that on the kid/family/home/no-sleep situation, but that's not evident in the story. It just comes through as poor writing, in my opinion.
Still, one of my top fave shows.

I think it makes a lot of sense for Dexter to make some of the decisions and come off as not so collected and perfect. He has been on his own for a long time and now he has to juggle a lot more. I think they are trying to show the impact the family life is having on someone like Dexter. And he now is trying to find a "new way" of dealing with all of it. The pacing is a bit slower maybe this season, but I'm enjoying it a lot still.
KatzeKitty and I watched the Dexter "thanksgiving Special" last night. Wow, big surprise at the end! Did NOT see that coming. We both turned to each other and :jawdrop.
I really like this show.
Thanksgiving special??? Do you just mean last week's episode?

Yeah, sorry, just a little joke. They chose this episode to reveal the actual deformities in Trinity's perfect family. Hopefully no spoilers here. Like I posted previously, the ending was a total surprise for us.
Oh - also, here are some cool Dexter t-shirts...

Well, this weekend we will get the season 4 conclusion of "Dexter." The end of the previous episode really was a big shocker and opened up big things. It's going to be exciting to see how it all comes together. I'll be watching Sunday night to see how Dexter handles it all.
I'll bet someone gets killed

Well, you got that right! I mean - OMG!!!!
Don't read my spoiler box unless you don't care about having the finale spoiled.
[spoiler]I expected Dex to get Trinity in the end - but dang it - not Rita too! I felt so bad for Dexter at the end of this episode. He's been trying so hard this season and then bam - it's all for nothing now. Really hurt to watch the ending of this one. So sad. :'( [/spoiler]
I was floored and wondering my own reaction to that.
Oh (BLEEP)! Why the (BLEEP) did I look at the spoiler!?
Man I am dying to look...watching tonight though, I wont look...I wont look...

Don't look. I feel it's already spoiled enough without even looking for you. Come back after you watch it and post your thoughts.
P.S. Chad and others - I warned you - Don't look at the spoiler.

Jedi mind powers on the blink, are they? ;)
ChadH, I couldn't help myself and checked out the plot synopsis at imdb.com. Sorry!
I know lots of people like to experience tv/movies as a virgin :blush, but I actually prefer going into any situation knowing as much as possible in advance. It allows me to follow the story better, watch for details or clues, and just get more for my investment of time.

Wow what a season, I'm very sad it's over already. I hate these short 12 episode season arcs for premium cable shows. This was so good though. [spoiler]What a great twist at the end. It managed to be pretty unexpected for me but fit perfectly with the overarching theme of this season. It's tough to imagine Dex as a single dad. I imagine next season he'll be back to his apartment and the kids will go with Rita's mom? So sad for those older kids of hers, first their dad and now their mom gone, and the main role model left in their lives is a serial killer. Tough breaks.[/spoiler]
