Dexter (Showtime)
Anyone watch this show?
I was bored and watched all three episodes that have been aired so far on OnDemand. I actually think the show is pretty damn good so far, I like the character a lot. |
I caught it while I was making masters for one of my shows last week, really think it's good, although Weeds is still my showtime show.
|
Yeah... Dexter kicks ass... as does Weeds. Showtime has some really good programing now.
I've got a thing for the lead in Weeds... just somthin' about her. |
this show is amazing... showtime has some really good shows to compete vs Hbo at the moment...

I had Showtime for $5 a month for the past year and it just expired and I kept it for the regular price just so I could watch Dexter. HBO's "Six Feet Under" was the only regular episodic show that I followed every week since Seinfeld went off the air. I've seen all 63 shows at least twice so every actor from that series, in this case it's Michael C. Hall, I try and see what they'll do next. My wife and I have caught all three Dexter's on Tuesdays at 9:00 in hi-def.
I was curious to see how Michael C. Hall would pull of this role since his character on SFU was so different as the gay brother. I noticed his hair is darker and he doesn't shave and has a more rugged look. I like the actress that plays his girlfriend and the hispanic actor that plays the cop with the hat, I'm not as happy with some of the other casting. The actress that plays his dipsy sister or the black police woman are not what I would of chosen but I think maybe their characters will grow on me. The next SFU actor I'm waiting to see is Peter Krause who played the main character of Nate finished a movie last year called "Civic Duty". It's about a average guy that suspects his middle-eastern neighbor as being a terrorist. At some of the film festivals in New York back in the spring it received excellent reviews but I heard it's not coming out until January 2007. |
I'm loving this show.

...and Weeds is a definite must-watch.
Any show that can get Kevin Nealon just being Kevin Nealon, and also have a scene like this below(BRILLIANT!!!) has my attention. My favorite Showtime show, Huff, has apparently been cancelled (according to Baby lee, I haven't bothered to look it up). But Showtime is definitely putting out some quality shows. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FWzOQTFwRBE"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FWzOQTFwRBE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> |
I love this show, and it is getting really hot now. You know they are gonna leave us hanging (excuse the pun) in a couple of weeks when the season finale airs. I don't really watch TV, but I wait for this show to come on.

I cant wait either. I have so many friends who don have Showtime. I want to get the DVD, so they can get into this show, so I have someone else to talk to about it. |

I've been downloading it with bit torrents. I'm typically an episode behind but what the heck. |

I've done one with limewire. The rest with bittorrents. Do a google on 'dexter bittorrent'. You should find lots of hits.

Dexter knows the Ice Truck Killer is Rudy...
next week is the finale |

And it looks good too. |
I saw it for the first time last night and I thought it was exactly what CSI Miami aspires to be.

Anyone still following this show?
I think this is the best show on TV right now The next two episodes should be awesome |
I like alot of shows, but the wife and I look forward to this show every week more than any other.
Though, I think I have how this season is wrapping up figured out, though. |

Last season seemed too obvious.
The ending this season isn't obvious, but if you are trying, you can figure it out. That said, it's a great ride. |
Without a doubt, this is my favorite TV show ever! I have never looked forward to a show as much as I do Dexter in my life. I can watch the episodes over and over too. And I dont watch a lot of TV except sports and movies. I dont watch regular TV shows at all, except Dexter. I heard the 3rd season has been ordered. Thankfully.

And Lyla is a PSYCHO!!!!! Funny thing is, she probably is Dexter's soulmate. |
I watched a few episodes of Dexter. He's a real scary dude.
Weeds never miss that one. Kevin Nealon is hilarious. Doug will have his revenge, fear the power of Doug.ROFL |
My favorite at the moment. Can't wait to see what happens with Dokes. I know he breaks out but he can't just tell on Dexter as he's the prime suspect.

I watch this show, I download it every Monday because I see no reason to pay for a channel that I will only watch for one hour a week. I read this morning that they will be editing the episodes and showing them on CBS.
Here the article http://www.tv.com/story/10552.html?t...m_clk=gumballs |
I kind of like Doakes. I wonder if it possible to come to some resolution where they don't have to kill him or have him arrested.
|
I don't have Showtime, but I still wish Arrested Development had moved there from Fox. I would have figured out a way to watch episodes.
|
The last 2 episodes got leaked out. I wouldn't say it's a totally surprising episode, but the writers did a great job again. They may actually have topped season 1.

Quote:
Yeah, love it.. ****ign Icontrol doesn't have episode 21 on though..Kind of ****ing need that to watch episode 22.. |
Quote:
Uhh?? will the editing be taking out the sinister nature of the show?? And I kinda like look at the girls tits.. **** you CBS.. |

Its on there now.. |

It is kind of like a built in DVR with timewarner, they have a couple dozen channels including TMC,HBO,SHO,MAX that have shows/movies stored for you to watch by just hitting play... Great feature especially since I do not have a DVR box in my room.. |

So went to my grandma's church for their Christmas show..
A: I don't like her church.. B: not a fan of organized religion(im'a deist...) C: Only went to make my grandma happy Well why there was an intermission and they had Christmas music playing over the broadcast, it kept being interrupted by some other signal or someone playing with the broadcast booth.. Kept cutting out too.. "Dexter is the Bay Harbor..." "Dexter".........then back to Christmas music.. My family could not figure out why I was literally lol... |
I strongly hope that the plan to air this on CBS comes to fruition.
|
***Spoiler Alert*****
Poor motherfuckin' James Doakes. He provided me with some of greatest LOL moments I can remember watching TV (Masuka as well). The guy had some classic lines. "You owe me a new Michelin, mother****er!" (When talking about the stepfather accused of bludgeoning his stepdaughter by the pool) "I'ma break that one who sucks the penis today." Great character, and I'll miss him :(. Goddamned divers just had to look for treasure :cuss: It will be interesting to see where they go for season 3. IIRC, there were only two books. Hopefully they don't falter now that they are going "off script" so to speak. |

How in the holy hell are they going to air this on CBS.

I was actually pissed when I saw it was coming to CBS because now I am worried about all the people that are going to say "So, I watched it on TV and it wasn't THAT great" because of the lame censoring that's going to take place.
You're ruining your experience by watching it if you watch it on CBS instead of on DVD. Especially for a character like Doakes ... watching him censored will be extremely lame |

Speaking of cable filler on network TV for the duration of the strike, I'm happy that NBC's apparently going to give Psych and Burn Notice a bigger stage than USA for a bit. Those are fun shows that require next to no editing.
|
Ironically USA just canned both The 4400 and The Dead Zone. Guess we won't be seeing those on the network.
|
Maybe we can talk ABC into running The Wire.

Fun fact: The Wire is one of Barack Obama's favorite TV shows. |

I don't think that it could be edited for prime-time, though. |
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeit, it's amazing.

This ain't Aruba, bitch.
McNutty really is McNutty, now. |
Question for you Dexter geeks -
How much has CBS tamed down the show? My wife has gotten into it, but she's not sure she can handle to unabridged version, on account of her being a wuss. |

The main thing is the bad words. I find it hard to believe that Dexter's sister gets any lines on the CBS version, since every other word she says is usually a curse. |

Yeah, he doesn't get a ton of facetime on CBS, but the sister does. Obviously, I'm going to have to subscribe to Showtime, or just buy the DVD's. |

I seriously sat down and watched the entire second season in one day. It was that good. And I was that worthless. |

I find it funny finding old posts by me and thinking "must of been drunk again." |
I don't know if I could really rank the seasons. I just rewatched S1 and S2 after finishing 3.
1 and 3 are kind of like the first and third Star Wars movies. A little more upbeat and entertaining. The second is much darker and introspective in an Empire Strikes Back kind of way. I will say that the writers have done a phenomenal job with Dexter's character arc. It's been a dialectical process, vacillating from Harry's code to Lila's proselytizing from S1 to S2 and then finding his way back home after S3, all the while mirroring the evolution of his own identity. |
dexter is a kick ass show, if you watched this and didn't like it you susk
