Well done, Dexter. Well done.

On a side note: Has anyone here read the books? Are they worth checking out? How similiar are they to the series?

The first season is based off the first book, but there are a couple major changes. The rest of the series is its own product, not mirroring the books.

I'm into the second book now, but the first is quite good.

Sweet.

Thanks, man. I really think I'll check out (at least) the first one. The show is so interesting.

Definately keep going. Season 4 of Dexter is my favorite season of any TV series.

I'll definately finish up Season One tonight... and I may start Season Two if I have enough time.

Well that was interesting. Things are picking up a bit.

They have already done a fellow cop suspects Dexter once. No need to redo that plot line.

Was mainly talking about the girl at the end, but I don't mind Quinn being suspicious of him.

I'd agree, but it does make sense that detectives would detect something.

Boring.

I watch that, too.

I'm just not interested in this storyline. It's been done, and done better with Doakes.

This season has not been as good as the last, but we are only three episodes in.

I would argue that Dexter is still a top 5 show right now. The writing and directing

is still top notch.

It amazes me that people still don't understand the way in which these season arcs are set up.

One thing that is going to lead to a shitload of tension throughout the rest of this season is simply how many times Dexter has ****ed up already.

Killing the guy with a grappling hook and no gloves, killing Boyd without much cover and shoddily constructed kill room, now having a living witness.

He's effing up bad and the noose is going to start to close.

It's a slow burn, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Basic same idea with the Doakes arc. How the hell was Dexter going to survive the information Doakes has getting out?

It's just BS. We all know Dexter isn't going to get caught. Maybe for the series finale but the series finale is not this season.

Well, that took a very interesting turn. Like others, I don't like the Quinn obsession with Dexter. But I am intrigued by the victim turning killer to get revenge angle that this appears to be heading to.
