disturbed
I watched the first 10 (out of 12) episodes of Dexter this weekend, and thought it was brilliant, I mean I absolutely think it is fantastic - but now I'm really not even sure if I can watch the last 2 episodes. Let me explain.
The episode "Seeing Red" disturbed me so much that I cried for half an hour after it was finished and then went and held Brady for another half an hour before I finally fell asleep at almost 2:30 AM last night. If you have seen the show, you know of what I speak, the flashbacks, if you haven't, then just know that the only reason I'm writing this is because I can only remember one thing ever getting to me like this, and that was when I tried to read the book "Sleepers" by Lorenzo Carcaterra about 10 years ago - and that was before I was even a parent.
I mean I'm really into the show as a whole and I love the characters and totally had the big bad pegged before they revealed it - all joyous, but seeing those images just pushed me to a place that I can't escape even in my nightmares and now I'm just almost traumatized by them. Forgive me if I sound a little melodramatic, but I am truly upset that somewhere some child could have seen things like that. I know it is fiction, but I have literally had nightmares about things very similar.
Maybe if I give it a few days it will settle down a bit. Just wanted to throw that out there, right now that is overshadowing my thoughts and the rest of my weekend is just a little forshadowed at the moment. So just excuse the freak out and resume your regularly scheduled Monday.
