[link] May interview with Julie Benz prior to starting to film Dexter Season 3. No spoilers.

If I don't start watching season 5 of The Wire, the show won't end, right?

uh..yeah? Or you could move to Baltimore and just live it.

Word of advice: if they offer you a choice about which role to play, don't choose "corner boy."

Unless they let you pick a corner! Like some corner in Guilford or Roland Park.

CI - hahahaha. damn.

Union organizer's not always good, either.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

Oh my God, that copier trick was hilarious. I can't believe that worked.

I cannot believe that Chris fucking Partlow just strolled into the courthouse and asked Ronnie Pearlman for directions in front of Daniels. I...I guess neither one of them has any idea who he is? That's just so weird! And holy shit, that Russian guy! What's going on?

Dammit, McNulty! Stop drinking and hitting on random women again! YOU HAVE BEADIE. BE HAPPY WITH BEADIE. LOOK HOW CUTE SHE LOOKS IN HER SLEEPWEAR. CUDDLE HER NOW OR I WILL.

Yay for Carver! He's come so far.

On the other hand: what the SHIT?? Herc is working for Levy?! I...what?! YOU ASSHOLE. I'm sure a bunch of people die this season. Maybe you'll be one of them. Somehow. Ach, I used to kinda like you.

Oh, Carcetti. I still love you. You're doing the best you can. Even if that's still not very good.

Marlo needs to die. Really really needs to die. Really.

Oh, Michael! You...are One of Them but still sort of you. Playing Connect Four with your little brother. Trying to keep Dukie off the corners.

(Really.)

Bubbles! Keeping it clean, selling the paper. Aw.

As for the newsroom, I really like Gus and Alma. I hope this doesn't mean one of them's going to die.

You like Alma? I sort of found her...hologrammatic. Although, there's a certain amount of empathy because I so wanted to be where she is(minority in journalism, yada yada) but overall, I think she lacks dimension. Not half as much as Templeton(Nobody does...he's completely loathesome, not Blown Deadline's usual flavor at all. At least, he should be a *charming* bullshit artist like our man Jimmy(IMO--all fake-a-rama boyish humility would work)ETA: Took it out, too spoily, and since it's(sob) over, I have the rest of my life to talk about that.

Two more episodes!

It hurt to watch McNulty faking that crime scene, and I kept wincing throughout the next episode, especially with poor Bunk caught in the middle. And then LESTER. OH MY GODS LESTER. *headTARDIS*

I hate Templeton! Gah. I wasn't completely sure until that absurd "quote from Narese," but that story about the kid in the wheelchair was total bullshit! Templeton! Like the rat in Charlotte's Web !

I still like Gus and Alma. The chief sucks.

Oh, Bubbles. He's kind of boring sober, but, unlike Cutty, I actually care about his rehabilitation.

I don't like seeing McNulty in this ridiculous pattern of self-destruction again. Beadie was supposed to have fixed that, dammit! He's back to being a superdick.

I love to hate Clay Davis. He's such a total dickweed that it's fun to see him squirm. And his voice is so high-pitched! It's funny!

Michael and Co.'s day at Six Flags was adorable. They even picked up a couple chicks! Aw. I feel like seeing Michael and Dukie now has sort of softened the impact of the S4 finale. Michael hasn't turned completely evil, and Dukie...is doing kind of fine, really, the not-being-in-school notwithstanding.

AVON! I can't believe he's actually helping Marlo out. What the hell.

Someone needs to pop a cap in Marlo's ass before he takes over Baltimore.

Butchie! No! WHO SHOOTS A BLIND MAN?!
