    Season 5 can't come soon enough

    This is the problem with getting really into a show while it's still running

    A year is a very long time to wait to continue the story

    Yeah, i generally am late to the game on Television, so i was able to catch up on seasons 1-3 by borrowing them from a friend, but got to enjoy the excitement of watching season 4 unfold...

    got cable and made sure we had showtime just for this show...

    was kind of a tough call though because i'm on the True Blood bandwagon now too, and we had the choice between Showtime or HBO.

    Rita's the sister right? I don't really like her, but I don't hate her. I'm just not really interested in her problems.

    You're bad at television.

    It could work. Someone has to eventually, I suppose.

    The first book is actually pretty good. I have been cautioned heavily against any of the other ones.

    Also, regarding the Season 5 trailer, the little girl who plays Astor has some acting chops!

    Apparently the third book is absolutely horrid, but the second was pretty good I thought. Haven't read the fourth yet.

    And regarding Debs in the book series...
    she does find out about Dex at the end of the first book but she doesn't really do anything about it in the second. She pretty much leaves it alone.

    Does Deb have huge daddy issues in the books too? This seems completely against her character on the show...

    Man they need to hurry up and leak the first episode already

    It's been leaked the last couple of seasons, it's pretty clear they're doing it on purpose

    I like Quinn as much as Doakes.

    While Doakes was a (relatively) clean cop who suspected Dexter

    Quinn is an asshole cop who suspects Dexter

    Both are interesting in the sense that they bring a lot of different things to the table in regards to stalking Dexter.

    Quinn may be an asshole but Doakes hardly played clean cop when it came to stalking Dexter. This season it seems like Quinn
    suspects him for legitimate reasons and is just trying to convince the others. He hasn't really done anything seedy yet.

    Don't forget the horrible twisted-mouth grimace.

    I hope the realization leads her to quit being a detective, which starts her down a path of corruption and somehow she becomes a killer herself. Then Dexter gets out of jail after a few years (only the murder of
    Rita
    gets pinned on him) and has to take her down.

    This sounds like a ridiculous fan-fic

    Then again, the books after book 2 are written like fan-fics, so you might be onto something in the book universe.

    I don't care much for her either, maybe its because I just don't buy her act(ing).

    Love this series though. Every season just gets better and better.

    Deb is an interesting character when you watch her through all the seasons.

    She's pretty childish and whiny in the first season, then she grows to a competent detective who can handle situations and life.

    Then when
    Flundy dies
    she loses her shit and its kind of surprising because she's been so tough for the past 2 seasons

    I can understand that.
    Loosing a loved one is terrible.
    Its just, she swears a lot, but it doesn't feel like she means it when she swears. Maybe I'm reading her all wrong but to me it feels like an act. I do believe its the intent of the actor, making Deb act tougher then she really is, but I dunno: I just dont buy it like her teammates do.

    Does this drivel make any sense?

    Season 1 was the best.
    Season 2 would be the best if I didn't dislike Lila so goddamned much
    Season 3 was horrid.
    Season 4 premiered on my birthday and was the best gift I've gotten since Bomberman 64.

    So, 1>2/4>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>3.

    I think everyone can agree that my opinion is better than everyone else's.

    Also, I literally enjoy every character except for pregnant Rita, and to a lesser extent, Quinn. After the awesomeness of Doakes, Quinn is just let down.

    3 was good because Jimmy Smits did a good job of showing how Dexter can't have a partner in crime.

    Also, it was a good intro for Quinn. People wondered about that guy, but it wasn't until season 4 when everyone found out he was a shady cop.

    3 was bad because I couldn't believe Smits' character(as a killer). The only thing I liked about that season was Dexter's father.
