Dexter has been nominated in the Best Television Show — Drama category. To this I ask, “What took so long?” Dexter should have been nominated for its excellent first season, too.
Now, if only Entourage wasn’t so completely hopeless these days. Or Weeds. Or Heroes. But you can’t have everything, right? I’ll just have to be satisfied with Dexter and Lost. Not a bad combination.
Now, I’ve been less than enamored with this show since about the mid-point of season 2. I got tired of every character getting sucker punched whenever he or she tried to do something heroic or noble. I got tired of having new characters dropped on the island and then killed off without having contributed much of anything.
It’s a sad moment when you realize that even an imperfect season of one of your favorite shows is coming to an end. That’s what all Dexter fans face now.
Jeff Lindsay, author of the books that Showtime’s Dexter is based on, will make a cameo appearance on the Nov. 30 airing of the show.
I know this is a blog devoted to Dexter. But at the beginning of this third season, I began to have my own doubts about this show. I couldn’t quite figure out where Dexter was going this season. The show was becoming its own mess of normally smart characters doing some rather dumb things.
Now, you might say that it’s simply a matter of the Dexter discs being extremely popular. They get a lot of wear and tear, and are more likely to suffer the scratches that stop a DVD in its tracks. But … a small part of me wonders, is there a Netflix curse when it comes to Dexter?
Ever feel any guilt for liking Dexter? Here’s a show where the hero kills, and quite often. Why do we root for Dexter Morgan?
It makes sense, then, that the show’s official Showtime Web site would be a bit dark, too. For instance, the site has a series of Dexter-inspired games. Among them is the body bag toss.
But last night’s episode, “About Last Night,” changed all that. This was one powerful episode, easily the most intriguing of this season. I won’t spoil too much. But if you haven’t yet watched, the odds are high you’ll come away with a whole new appreciation of Jimmy Smits’ character. |
