I was happy to see Lester back doing two of his things: the furniture and the Yoda thing
I KNOW! That was beautiful.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Anyone else watching Dexter? God, that was a good episode. At the end, where he's sitting between the couple smuggling and killing the cuban immigrants, and he stops and asks them how their marriage works--I had to pause the show, I was laughing so hard. Brilliant.

Whooo hoo! Dexter got renewed for next season:
Showtime has given an early greenlight to a second season of one-hour thriller "Dexter" and is finalizing a deal to bring back Mary-Louise Parker starrer "Weeds" for a third cycle.
Announcement for the latter is said to be imminent.
Production on 12 new hours of "Dexter" will begin next spring for a premiere next summer. Renewal arrives after just five episodes of the current season have aired.
Based on the novel "Darkly Dreaming Dexter," skein stars Michael C. Hall as a forensics expert for the Miami Police Dept. who moonlights as a justice-seeking serial killer.
"Dexter" is a "home run for us, both critically and in popularity. The show was launched at the height of all the broadcast networks' fall launches and instantly became our highest-rated show," said Showtime entertainment president Robert Greenblatt.
John Goldwyn, Sara Colleton and Clyde Phillips are exec producers. "Dexter" also stars Jennifer Carpenter, Lauren Velez, Julie Benz, Erik King, David Zayas and James Remar.
Season finale airs Dec. 17.

I was trying so hard to pick up the first book today, because I totally have a fixation now. I was only able to get the second one, but I endeavor to find the first.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
DEXTER!!!
Julie Benz is so great at being broken.

It's so true! When I watch her on this show, it feels like a more refined version of her human-Darla on Angel. She's remarkably talented.

Damn, you know, I haven't given much thought, or not in a long time, to how much you need to trust somebody to let them teach you shit. Because it is, after all, a concerted effort to *put stuff in your brain* and possibly also *take stuff out* that, stupid, wrong, or shortsighted as it could be, may be all your parents ever gave you...and so you might still want it. It's not so much that Simon &Burns show us new stuff so much as letting us see the old stuff in new ways.ETA: If, say, Grad Student Chick had confessed to some sadness upon hearing such young people plan for their deaths, that would have marked her as irretrievably punkish? Or has she just heard that so often, it's all in a day, or what?
