This may be more appropriate for literary, but...
So, I finally read DARKLY DREAMING DEXTER (5/6 of it in one sitting yesterday), and having read all the comments here, they've definitely changed things up quite a bit (probably necessary given that they had to do a season's worth of shows on a small book), including Rudy's name (he's Brian in the book). I'm really looking forward to seeing this once it's out on DVD (I gave up Showtime just in time for them to start doing interesting shows again). I've also got to get the second book DEARLY DEVOTED DEXTER (and a third on the way in May, I think - DEXTER IN THE DARK) - I'm curious if they incorporated any of that book in the first season.
I don't think I've read such a disturbing yet fascinating evocation of a sociopathic personality since Patricia Highsmith passed on, and I was totally hearing the whole book in MCH's voice.
"I may be sociopathic, even homicidal at times, but I'm not crazy."
No, his name was Brian in the show. Rudy was the name of the person he killed to take the name.
They did take some things from Dearly Devoted and put them into the first season, but they've also kept some things steady into the next season, like the end with Doakes.
I too heard MCH's voice while reading the book; so perfectly evocative.

If ever there was a definitive set of audio books in the offing...
Erika--our friends who are huge Wireheads just got a new dog and named him Bodie.
That's perfect...is he a Lab?
Cause I thought it'd make a Lab name.

My uncle wanted to call the pup his family got last year Omar but his wife and kid wouldn't go for it.
If my cat had been black, he might have been Omar. But he has a tail like a raccoon so he's Rocky.ETA: Anyone else have trouble not thinking "tickle my nuts" when they randomly hear the word "Intimacy"?
Although maybe it's me and my tag is mad fitting.
After an extended break, Deadwood S2 eps 3 and 4 arrived in the mail, so sometime over the next few days, I will be posting thoughts and reactions on those two episodes.

Hey, I just saw S2 episode 3 myself, so we're at the same point. PAINFUL episode. You'll know what I'm talking about if you haven't seen it already.
