tv is my happy place. and my sad place.

This VM fic makes me so happy. It feels like the author is making sense out of all the things I never thought made sense in season 3. Dealt with in this chapter: Duncan, Piz, the FBI. But if you're allergic to WIPs, I'd recommend staying far away from this one. I think it's been over a year since the last update and we're only on chapter four. So,

I think my biggest issue with Deb/Lundy was that it was so far from what I wanted to see happen with Deb after she'd just been betrayed by the man she loved - and almost killed by a serial killer to boot! I wanted more impact than what we got, for her to maybe become introverted, fucked up (well, more fucked up), and the Lundy thing sort of ruined that whole storyline by making her happy. It took away the thing I thought was interesting about her and replaced it with...nothing.

I think that Dexter and Lila was really interesting...for about an episode and a half, until she went bonkers. Because Rita had already become this insanely boring person who for some reason showed no signs of the trauma that so paralyzed her in season 1. Also, the whole addict thing was so stupid that I could barely stand watching it. I know they must worry about blowing their wad too early, but dammit, they need to shake things up. I think the best thing for the show might actually be having Rita finding out about Dex and then having Trinity kill her. Just imagine how much that would fuck Dexter up now that he's realized that he actually wants this life that he's been trying to escape. (Now that I think about it, this might actually be the game plan? Because that realization is sort of blah unless something comes along that fucks it up.)

After last season's premiere episode I couldn't be bothered to keep going, so I marathoned season 3 this spring. And seen over the course of a week it worked pretty well! But yeah, this season is head and shoulders above last season.
