Dexter

I finished my marathon watching of the second season of Dexter. When I first watched the first season they had showed it on regular television so it was quite different then what you get when you see it on DVD. The "F" bomb is every other word spoken and nudity is rampent. Unfortunately I'm hooked on the show. I need to know what's going to happen to Dexter. Now I'm hanging out there until a year from now and the next season is released. He's in a real "pickle" now! I wish they would have followed the book when dealing with the police sargent that is stalking him. Oh well, that's what happens when you give up your rights as an author. It is a gory show and my hubby can't take it other than in small doses so I waited till he was working and watched it. This last season wasn't as bad as his first season in the gore department. Now it's back to the latest novel to calm me down.

Cable

I'm trying to figure out how to convince my hubby that we need to get cable and Showtime by next fall. CBS ran a couple of months of a Showtime drama called "Dexter" and I'm totally hooked on it. If you haven't been watching....it's about a guy who kills killers. Apparently little Dexter was found at a crime scene at the age of 3 and taken into foster care by the cop who found him. The cop discovered early on that Dexter had some inner need to kill and realizing that this wasn't something that would just disappear, he established "rules" early on. Dexter could only fulfill his "needs" by killing someone who killed. During the time I watched the show he was in search of "The Ice Truck Killer." He had a few other incidents along the way but this was his main search. The whole plot came together last night in its season finale. Dexter has an adoptive sister who is a cop and he is a blood analyst for the same police department. The father died 10 years earlier from cancer. Dexter has a girlfriend (with children) and even though he's short on emotions he seems to enjoy being with her and the kids. If I can't get Showtime then I'll be looking for DVD's of the show! The show is based on the novels of Jeff Lindsay. I'm definitely checking out his books.
