December 8, 200619 yr Just watched the first few episodes of DEXTER on OnDemand. Boy am I hooked to this show. Not often do I get sucked into a TV show. I've actually always considered people who are addicted to television to be sad. I like to LIVE life, not just experience life vicariously through a two-dimensional media. That being said I love this show. It's such an awsome premise to have a dark hero "serial-killer-killer" or perhaps it's more like "serial-serial-killer" or is it "serial-killer-killing-serial-killer"? Thoughts? Other fans of the show?
December 8, 200619 yr The premise of this show is similar to an episode of Law & Order. In fact, if you're watching something on TV involving crime, the police, rape, or murderers, chances are it was on Law & Order.
December 8, 200619 yr Author Have you been watching it Fly? It's so much better than L&O, I think L&O-SVU (NY) is an alright show and all, the rest I barrely watch but DEXTER is the most entertaining TV show since I can remember, honestly the last time I was this excited about TV it was the 1980s and the show was KNIGHT RIDER. I love the inner narration and the dark humor. I'm not sure if I should be worried that I feel like I understand this Dexter character better than any other personality on TV. Don't worry I've never killed a human being & I am not about to, ever. What I mean is that Dexter's O.C.D. like obsession with his "hobby" is very simmilar to how all-consuming the car hobby is for me. The irony is that Dexter has no love for cars.
December 8, 200619 yr Haven't seen it. Might check it out, though. Law & Order hasn't been the same since Jerry Orbach passed away. Dennis Farina was pretty darn awesome, but now he's gone, too. WTF, mate? SVU is my new franchise fav, mainly because I remember Dann Florek from his old school L&O days, the general awesomeness of Richard Belzer, and the total hotness of Mariska Hagarity.
December 8, 200619 yr Author Mariska Hagarity 225225[/snapback] Yeah... she's a pretty sexy Eastern European broad, huh? Hungarian actually.
December 8, 200619 yr When I see that title I'm reminded of a cartoon from Cartoon Network... 225222[/snapback] Why does the name Dexter always get pinned to a nerd? Can you visualize Stallone in a movie where he goes around breaking Viet Cong's necks, stomping on Russian Communists and kicking Cambodian ass with huge assault rifle's, and his name is Major Dexter?
December 8, 200619 yr I envision an alternate world where John Rambo is named Frankie Sparkles. "God didn't make Frankie Sparkles. I made him!" "You've done enough damage. This mission is over, Frankie Sparkles. Do you understand me? This mission is over!"
December 8, 200619 yr Author I even love the credits... taht great imagery. Now I want some pork and a sunny side up egg with Frank's red hot sauce.
