most of this is a comment from Amanda's journal...
I think that episode broke my brain a little bit. @_@
My opinion on Deb changes from episode to episode. Sometimes I like her and don't mind her, but sometimes she just seems SO out of line. Like this episode, and the one where she flips on him because he doesn't agree with her profile, etc. I was really pissed at her for most of the episode. I mean, I understand that Dex is the only family she has left, but not ONCE did he seem like, I don't know, actually attached to this man. He was curious, yes, but he never said that Harry wasn't his real father or anything like that.
But man, seeing Rudy and Dex in the same room and having conversations and Dex NOT EVEN REALIZING IT was driving me insanely crazy, in a good way. Oh man. I had a feeling that Rudy was behind the death the entire time, but not until Dex had the flashback in the coroner's office did I believe the guy was actually his father. I thought it was just something weird that was set up to throw Dex off, or maybe reveal a clue to him, and the father thing was just a way to get him up to Dade City.
But the really, really intense part of it for me was the end with Paul. I was literally screaming at my computer. As much as I hate to admit it, my faith in Rita wavered momentarily and I thought she was going to allow his cycle of abuse to continue. I should have realized by now that everytime my faith in her wavers, she comes back to prove me wrong.
The one thing that... well, I guess I trust them to connect it somehow? Or maybe it was just for some Doakes character reveals? But I didn't get how the whole "Doakes shooting that guy" thing fit in with everything else. Maybe we'll see with time or maybe it will be dropped forever. WHO KNOWS.
There was significantly less VO in this episode than usual, or at least, that's how I felt. It's weird, because I really do love the voice-over on this show. I feel like this is what the VMars voice over would be like if they cut out half the exposition. It feels really natural to me, but I guess it makes sense that they cut back on it for the episode where Dex is mostly in the dark.
Generally, A+++++ would watch this episode instead of taking a long-needed nap again!
