I swear to any god you wish to name I do not usually do episode reactions
But oh holy fuck I did not see that coming,
First of all, I LOVE EVERYONE ON THIS SHOW. I really do, I love Angel and Vince and Deb and Cody and Quinn and Maria and Astor and Dexter and even Rita, who used to annoy me. I want to hug them all forever. Because they're all fuck-ups. I love fuck-ups. (and they say opposites attract!)
Now in this episode, Dexter lost control. Trinity keeps doing this to him, and it fascinates me. That's the second time he's nearly killed the guy with no plastic-draped-glass-slide ritual and this dude is ritual.
I've paid witness to all kinds of amazingly tense and vicious family gatherings and that might be the most perfect portrayal of an abused family I've ever seen. The violence and dependence rang almost to true for comfortable viewing. Really, really brilliant writing and acting and it made me want to hide in a closet like I used to. Good job, show!
Moving on, oh, Rita. This has been coming for a while and it doesn't make it any less painful. I can kind of see where this might be going, it'll come out awkwardly (because Vince does the right thing, because Vince is a good man) and there will be a moment where Dexter looks at this neighbour, this boy next door, and thinks, "Maybe I should let him have it. I'm only going to destroy them anyway." With any luck, Dexter will disregard that moment. DISREGARD IT, DEXTER. Astor still has to explain how dumb you are! Harrison needs to learn how to stab! (oh, i just got that. harrison, harry's son, christ i'm slow.)
Vince and Deb trying to be domestic and play nice with the children was so many kinds of adorable. Almost as adorable as Maria and Angel.
Maria and Angel = YAY! This will end badly, but YAY for now.
Oh, Quinn. You're kind of a kleptomaniac lying douche, but I really like you. He gets passionate about honour and is hyper-protective of Deb (calling it!) and is kind of slow. All these things are endearing, I just want him to stop thinking with his cock for six seconds and that brings me neatly round to Christine.
CHRISTINE! She seemed slightly too hungry, but I figured she was a very cliched journalist. I had been waiting for her to get more interesting, but sweet zombie jesus, that was one of the best, most out of the blue plot twists this show has had. Usually, in retrospect, there are clues and stuff, but I really don't think there were with this. It was a fucking blindside of awsomeosity and I cannot freaking wait to see what they do next. If they get is right, there will be blood, and I will want to hug everyone some more.
HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS.
If you don't watch Dexter, DO. That is all.
