That was a good one. Love EB's little quisling, comic-relief having ass.(And I know I've been kind of about the oost lately, but I assure you it does not...stir my nether regions, nor inflame my blood.)
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Hmmmm, not sure of the name and I don't want to spoil you... The one in which the bank safe arrives? That is NOT the most dramatic moment, though...

It's definitely ahead of me. Are you still on Season 1?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Damn, guys. I just caught the three aired episodes of Dexter, and I am all about this show. I don't know what it is about crazy serial killers, but I am so right there with this in whatever direction it goes. I think it hits a lot of show-things that click for me--interior monologue, The Pretender-like focus, Criminal Minds/Profiler-interest in specialized murder scenarios, that splash of dark humour. A compelling, more than a little crazy main character, like Jarod (Pretender) or Johnny (The Dead Zone), who still manages to take the piss out of themselves. Add in a compelling season-long mystery, and you've got a recipe for SA-approved success.
Plus, Julie Benz is in it. I mean, she's playing to type--the fragile, broken blonde--but never let it be said that she doesn't play it very well. I wish I had more episodes to watch. Except Dexter keeps *eating* throughout each episode (which is a quirk a la Rusty in Ocean's Eleven, and thus endearing to me) which keeps making me hungry.

I think my need/desire to see this show, which was already significant, just jumped exponentially.

Tonight's episode of The Wire was unbelievable. This one may be the single best episode from the entire series, but I'm going to have to calm down a bit before bestowing that particular honor upon it.

Watch it watch it watch it! Not just so I can talk about it with you! Because it's really good and I was still thinking about it all this morning as I was getting read to be late for work!
Still need to start watching the Wire, but I suspect it will have to wait until we hit the December lull for new tv.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I think Michael C. Hall may be doing a little too good a job of making Dexter likeable and charming, though. On other message boards I've already seen some responses along the lines of "But he really seems fond of Rita's kids and sweet to her. It's too sincere to be an act. He's just misunderstood, and no one else can see to his gooey kind center LIKE I CAN!"
Ah well, at least if they're writing love letters to Hall rather than the Ted Bundys of the world, they won't be finding out what the inside of a closed car trunk looks like...
