Totally agree on loving Dex/Deb. And I like the way that frankly, even the 'real" relationship with Brian isn't based on their blood relation either, but more on their shared experience and both being, for lack of a better word, monsters. But still Dexter's relationship with Deb is more complicated and real and sibling-like. They share plenty of things too with their issues about Harry etc.
And I like that essentially he's chosen the more challenging relationship over sameness because sameness in itself doesn't make it better. So I feel just as conflicted about it as Dexter, because he did give up the one person he didn't have to lie to, and yet I don't feel he chose wrongly.
Yay, Dexter&Debbie! I love them so much (so much I got the dvds and actually watched the entire season, which is a big deal for me). Have you read the novels? I got the first one and was sorely disappointed - novel!Dexter is nowhere near as charming, funny and self-perceptive as TV!Dexter, and there's a lot of unsavoury description of Deb's "lush" body, blech. (There's also a general sexist tone in describing the female characters and their careers, I thought).
