Dexter....
So now Jimmy Smits is going to start going out on kills with Dexter? This show has a really interesting premise but they just stretch things too far,
it's starting to become soap opera-ish again...but at least we don't have to suffer through Doakes acting.

this season is definitely not as suspenseful as the first two, but i like it.
at first, i thought the jimmy smits and pregnancy/marriage story lines would be boring - like on the sopranos when there was too much "character
development" and not enough killing (ha!) - but i'm kind of intrigued by both. i find i'm actually curious what dexter is gonna do, how he's gonna
handle both situations. my guess is smits gets it by the end of the season, though.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

i'm really diggin this season. the whole taking dexter out of his comfort zone premise is creating some good tension. the flashbacks seem a little
forced, but they always have really.
The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, ?You know, I want to set those people over there on
fire, but I?m just not close enough to get the job done.? George Carlin

This season definitely has some soap opera-ish moments but I'm liking this season a little more than the 2nd. 1st season was still the best as far as
I'm concerned.

I like this season much more than the second. Agreed though first was best.
I think Smits will get it. He'll blow a fuse and Dexter will take em out.

minor SPOILER (highlight to read)
| Quote: |
A TV stuntman is lucky to be alive after actor JIMMY SMITS stabbed him for real during a fight scene for TV show DEXTER.
Smits grabbed a real knife instead of a prop knife during shooting and plunged it into action man Jeff Chase.
Chase was only saved by a piece of plastic placed over his heart - which Smits miraculously hit.
He says, "For the scene, I was bound in Saran Wrap, duct tape over my mouth. I couldn't say a thing as I saw Jimmy grab at the knife. He picked up the
real one by pure mistake. It was a mean looking knife.
"I heard fellow actor Michael C. Hall yelling at Jimmy to stop - but it was too late. I felt the thud in my chest. I didn't have on a metal breast
plate like a lot of actors do in a scene like that.
"Instead I had a piece of acrylic clear plastic about the size of a Post-it note over my heart. It was a quarter of an inch thick and not attacked. In
eight out of 10 takes with the prop knife, Jimmy had missed the plastic. But by a miracle, an act of God, the knife landed at the very edge of the
plastic.
"I really thought I'd been stabbed in the heart, but I didn't have a scratch. Jimmy was devastated and couldn't stop apologising. I told him, I felt
more sorry for him than me."

according to imdb.com the stuntman in question stars in the upcoming episode, so we'll see what this means for the plot next sunday.
