*polishes moral compass*
I think being a Dexter watcher can make one a fascinating character study.
I realized when watching Doakes' horrified and disgusted face as well as Harry's, over seeing Dexter kill someone, I'm all "hrm...yeah he's killin', why are you so freaked out guys? You know he does this. Pass the Doritos".
What is WRONG with me?
I mean, MAYBE if I saw in person someone killing someone else, I'd be disgusted. But what if I wouldn't be? What if I really have no feelings too? (And I seriously hope I never have to experience watching someone be murdered to find this out for sure).
Man alive.
This show is the awesome but it scares me.
Dexter's rationalizations won me over. Especially when he make a comment how it was OKAY for Doakes to shoot and kill because he got a "paycheck" for it. I loled because it's true. What kind of justification would it be anyway? You still kill someone. Dexter has a 'need' to do so, and sure that's different. But in that moment I felt Dexter's killings made a lot more sense. Doakes pulled the trigger many times for reasons less thought out than Dexter's, and in some ways, less justified.
Yet, the moment when Doakes got all freaked about having to witness a murder he was all "let the justice system take care of it", I kind of agreed! Seeing the disgust on someone else, I was like "ok this IS wrong, really". And in that moment I liked Doakes much more than I ever had for some weird reason.
It's very complex, to the point where I don't even know what I want to say about it. I love that it makes me think it's both wrong and right all at the same damn time.
