So I just finished the first season of Dexter last night
That whole show was really good right up to the halfway point of the last episode. Then it was less about the really good and more about the "they have got to be kidding me with this" vibe.

1. I never really understood
How his parents could be oblivious to the whole 'giant laboratory under the house' thing, but Dee Dee seemed to be able to get in and out of the lab with no problems.

Personally, I like Power Puff Girls better.

2. Welcome to my ignore list, annoyingly voiced cartoon character
The merest hint of an utterance of a sound from that cartoon sends my nervous system into a frenzy.


yarg.

4. Yes...yes...
You people are confusing me.

I thought he meant the killer Dexter not the mad scientist Dexter.

(And if you're goofing around please note it's past my bedtime so I'm humor-impaired.)

5. southpaw is just toying with me
I expect to find a chopped-up Barbie doll in my freezer when I get home.

8. It could contend for the Worst Plot Twist Ever
Bobby in the shower was only slightly worse.

7. I love Dexter
Where else can you root for a serial killer?

I'm not sure how many seasons it will be good though. Season Two got annoying at times, but it was still enjoyable.

12. The season 1 finale of the Showtime series about the serial killer
It sucked. It sucked so bad that I'm done with the show now.

18. You know what's funny...
MrsCoffee and I were talking about the show as a whole, and we agreed that with the exception of the occasional brief titty shot and some language, it was a much tamer show than Weeds, Entourage and Rome (some of our favorites).


Season 2 gets all hardcore??? Strange.

19. I wouldn't say hardcore...
Which reminds me, have you checked out the new show Diary of A Call Girl? It is goooooood and sexy.

Anyhow, Dexter (and his sis - not together, ewwww) both get their freak on in Season Two.

15. Oh yeahhhhhhhhh.
Yeah, you're right, that was lame. Lame enough for me to forget. (Plus I have an awful memory and it was months ago that I watched it. Plus part two, Lost has pushed any other TV knowledge out of my head because it takes up too much space.)
