Dexter
Had a dream last night that I was Dexter (mostly me but nominally I was him) and that I was in a swanky, private prison room complete with my own huge bathroom. For some reason there was a crocodile in the tub but I wasn't at all afraid of it - in fact, I thought to myself that if it managed to caught by it then I deserved to die. (which is contrast to the fear I felt towards the goat I was trying to dress up in my show What Not To Wear for animals (namely sheep and goats) - but that dream's another story)
Anyway, the point of this post is that the dream inspired me to finally give in to Dexter. I'd watched the first ep sometime last year and felt overwhelmed by the creepiness and the moral ambiguity. This time, I don't feel morally repulsed (if you can say that) in fact I feel firmly on the side of Dexter. The rules and his adherence to them make me feel better about my position on the character. It has been tense and I have loved the injection of humour into the show, but I wish that I were less forgiving of Dexter. I think it may not be as emotionally satisfying but I would love to feel less in love with his character - that would make the show much more intellectually and emotionally interesting. Or maybe I'm worried about how easily I've forgiven his actions and impulses because the show has humanized him. Ok so I've only gone through most of the 1st season, but still.
Also - actress who plays his sister is hot.
I don't think any of that made sense but I want to record my often nonsensical thoughts about fandom etc on lj.
