it's a killer serial
-DEB'S BOYFRIEND IS THE ICE TRUCK KILLER OMG. Am I really dense for not having seen that one coming? Sunday night is a weird night for me so sometimes I miss bits of epsiodes and I guess I didn't consider the fact that he does prosthetics, but I'm thinking I really should have caught on when he was admiring her legs and arms. I still kinda like him though! I know how the season ends so I assume by then I won't, but he treats Deb well.
-Also: I like how this show paralells Deb's issues with sex (and how Rudy handles it since he's a killer too) with Dexter's. I think I just like the fact that this show is dealing with sex as an issue at all because it's so glossed over everywhere else, and it's yet another angle that makes Dexter relateable. One of the first things we learned in novel class is the reader needs to feel sympathy to a character and then later relate to them via a inner struggle of some kind, which is why I'm not surprised Dexter was created in a book. I was v. proud of the fact that Dexter overcame some stuff before he offed the psychologist lol. I know a lot of people don't like Rita but I see what they're trying to do with it and he really does seem more normal when she's around even if he isn't, so yay to all that.
-Also #2: When Dex was all "I didn't freak you out?" and she was all "Nothing you could ever do could scare me away" and he was all "Huh", that kind of heart-gutted me. Aw.
-Also #3: There are things about Deb that annoys me, like her complete lack of confidence in herself/her extreme uncertainty and the fact that when she was in her bra I could see her rib cage. But then again she does mime to lame songs in front of the mirror.
-Also #4: Dexter should not be as attractive as he is. I wasn't into Michael C Hall at all back when Six Feet Under was still on but now, I wouldn't say no. And he hasn't changed, so I don't know why haha.
-Also #5: Michael C Hall's wikipedia page makes no secret of his approach to Dexter, does it? On losing his father when he was 11: I think I was on the cusp of a time in my life where I was starting to reach puberty, to relate to my father. To have him ... Something gets frozen. As you revisit it for the rest of your life, it's sort of this slow but hopefully sure crawling-out of that frozen moment. On his approach to Dexter: I think Dexter is a man who…a part of himself is very much frozen, or arrested in a place that is pre-memory, pre-conscious, pre-verbal. Something very traumatic happened to him, he doesn’t know what that is. lol wow.
Does anyone watch Burn Notice? Cause if you're up for my opinions on whatever ep we're up to, I can certainly edit them in tomorrow. ETA: lulz I watched Bones instead, the Halloween episode. I love Hodgins. I don't like Zack at all.
