It's nice here with a view of the trees
Eating with a spoon?
They don't give you knives?
'Spect you watch those trees
Blowing in the breeze
We want to see you lead a normal life

Buckaroo Banzai ?

Well, they had John Lithgow on last year, so if they can get Jeff Goldblum and Clancy Brown for the next few seasons...

Priest: This is a house of God. People are trying to pray. You're disturbing them.
Kurgan: He cares about these helpless mortals?
Priest: Of course He cares. He died for our sins.
Kurgan: That shall be His undoing.
[gets up]
Kurgan: Father! Forgive me , I am a worm...
[starts laughing diabolically]
Kurgan: [to everyone in the church] I have something to say! It's better to burn out than to fade away!

Some spoilers if you haven't watched yet.




I enjoyed this last episode very much. I love that Lumen has accepted who Dexter is. It feels much more real than with Miguel. Miguel was in it for the thrill, not because he "had to do it" and when, push came to shove, Miguel was not worthy of Dexter's secret. Lumen OTOH is worthy. She's been in the fire and I would say more so than Dexter. What happened to her had to be much more real than what Dexter went through as a child. Tough with something, like what happened to Dexter, happens at such a young age, it probably has a much deeper root psychological hold on you.

I am curious to see what Liddy does with all the info he is gathering on Dexter. He seems like a smart, albeit a bit unorthodox, cop and should he find out who Dexter really is, I think he would end up covering for Dex. I also think he must have some kind of a past relationship with Harry. whether it's good or bad, I don't know.

The ease at which Laguerta made Deb the fall guy felt to easy to me. Is she that much of a cold hearted bitch? If so, I hope Batista dumps her ass.

I love when Batista tells Deb that she is like his little sister, only better, because he likes her.  :loloeo:

'Dexter' - 'Take It!': Acceptance

I've been behind on "Dexter" posts the last few weeks mainly because I've been behind on "Dexter." But I'm caught up, and since I saw last night's episode in relative proximity to when it aired, I've got a few thoughts coming up just as soon as I get a complete set of luggage...
I'm still feeling mostly ambivalent about this season of the show.

On the one hand, I like a lot of the actors they've brought in to work with Michael C. Hall, and agree that immediately following Trinity with another singular big bad wouldn't work. And of the various characters who've learned Dexter's secret over the years, Lumen's reaction seems the most human and interesting. (As is Dexter opening himself up to the idea of making a friend in his true identity and not having it be a bad thing.)

The problem, as always, is that we have seen a number of characters learn the truth in the past, just as we've seen cops try to find out what Dexter's really up to, seen Laguerta choose politics over police work, etc., etc. Some of these variations on old themes are interesting, but they're still old themes, and there's no real sense of urgency to the season.

So as always, the show is (in the central Dexter plot, at least) well-crafted enough that I continue to watch to enjoy the performances, but my enthusiasm doesn't extend much beyond that.

What did everybody else think? Season five working better or worse for you?
