OMG, Dexter! ::flails at the UTTER AND COMPLETE AWESOMENESS, BESTSHOWONTVNESS:: If you happened to forget that this show is filled with flawed characters, you got a swift kick in the butt reminder last night. You are ALL screwed up and I LOVE YOU.
Before I say anything, I must say this: MARIA, YOU HO! You're a power ho, and you're a regular ho. And I should hate you for persuading me to feeling sympathetic for your character only to stab me and the Lt. in the back, but instead I'm in awe of your cunning, your Slytherin, your Machiavellian sense of self-preservation and manipulation of others. You knew what you wanted, and you found your opponent's weakness, you exploited it, while looking the angel from all sides, and you won. But the chief was right, the Lt. really did set women back 20 years. I mean, having a personal meltdown in the middle of the station? I'm sorry, but no matter how messed up or how sad or how freaked out you are, there is one thing you must NEVER do. Never let them see you cry. You freak out in the bathroom, at home, in your closed office, but not out in public. And if you were that paranoid that your fiance was cheating on you, you should have realized that he was not a keeper. Save yourself the high blood pressure.
Anyway, moving on. Doakes, you rock. I've got to hand it to you for not letting that guy go, even though you had been in his headspace at one point in your life. You got yourself out of that situation before you did something unforgivable, unlike this fellow. You're the better man for it, even though you need to go to anger management counseling.
Deb, OMG, how embarrassing to be caught in an intimate situation by your brother. Even though I read incest fic, when I see something like that on screen, I'm just embarrassed for you. I also really like her almost-friendly relationship with Lundy. And Lundy continues to be smart and too good at his job for my peace of mind. ::bites nails::
Rita's Mom: Who else just cracked up when Dexter said he treats parents as aliens? I sure did. "I may have misjudged you." His whole inner monologue was hilarious. And Rita's mom is perceptive and wow, I was ready to dislike her, just like Dexter, but now I think she's awesome. If only Rita would feel the way her mom does about the Bay Harbor Butcher...
Lila. You're a little weird, but I'm fond of you. Just stop kissing Dex.
Masuka continues to crack me up. Even though Dexter's sabotage of the bodies seriously jeopardized the BHB case, the fact that smelling mushy remains made the biologist/botanist/whatever lose his breakfast still makes you laugh? Always look at the bright side, right?
And lastly, Dexter. My mom totally called that he was going to do something about the refrigeration. Good call. It's also weird seeing Dexter so worried and paranoid and confused lately. For originally claiming he has no feelings, he's certainly feeling a lot now.
It always takes me some time to let go of my anxiety after each new episode. I worry before the episode, I worry all through the episode, then I have to mellow back out. And now that they have an actual lead, they've just upped the tension. AGH! And yet, next Sunday can't come soon enough.
I've been watching a lot of Star Trek: TOS lately. When it comes to fic, I've only ever read Kirk/Spock, for obvious reasons. ::points to icon:: But lately, I've been really itching to find some Spock/McCoy. Their banter in the show is so fabulous, and I don't know why I never really paid much attention to it before. One thing I really hope for in the new film is for them to hit upon the great snarkiness that is Spock/McCoy. And eee, when you consider who's playing these two characters (my mom, in particular, is overjoyed at who is playing Bones), I especially hoping they throw us a bone, heh. ::crosses fingers::
Yesterday, I went to the bookstore, planted myself in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy/TPB section and just went to town (this is one of my favorite free things to do, and I love doing things that don't cost me anything). As I was sitting and reading through Superman/Batman: Public Enemies Private Lovers (which I really need to break down and buy one of these days because it's filled with World's Finest BFFness, and if you don't believe me, look at the first 18 quote icons here), I heard a B&N employee talking a guy through the Terry Pratchett books. Apparently, he was almost done with Good Omens and wanted to know the what he should read next. If I had been in the same row, I probably would have chimed in, but the employee sounded like enough of a know-it-all that it was probably better that I not make things worse, even though I don't think she was explaining the style of books appropriately. ;-)
