Not a fantastic episode in my opinion, but I suppose it's all about setting up the season at this point. Lovely little surprise at the end

Kenny_D · 05-09-2008 6:23pm

Have it downloading now. Looking forward to this

I liked the fact that

Dexter killed a (relative) innocent and I hope to see him further examine himself and question the kill. It's certainly not the end of the Freebow thing and I wonder if people will be on Dexter's trail again.

Debbie was a bit irritating in this - her whiny, little princess attitude to both Dexter and Batista grated. She didn't cut Dexter any slack or listen to him saying he had an alternate approach to honouring Harry. Her pissy look when Angel got his Sergeant badge made me want to slap her. Her new hair is crap too! Bah!

Dexter himself was good and I liked his moment with Cody (the actor seemed to have doubled in size since the last season). Shows he can have a caring side. As to him being a Dad? To be honest, I pretty much guessed that twist and I'm a little disappointed in the "soap opera" nature of it. I'd have thought Dexter would take more care but how this makes him feel might be something interesting.

Finally, I couldn't take Jimmy Smits seriously. It's not because he's not good, it's because I'm currently on Season 6 of "The West Wing" which he's in, and I can't help seeing him as an evil mirror universe version of Senator Santos...

Ah I enjoyed it its good to have the team back, also Dex playing happy families with Rita and the kids, makes me more worried about him messing up and getting caught out, I was worried when he lost the crown that the cops would have found it. have to say Rita is one sexy milf mounting dex the way she did during the episode

On to the American Cousins as we speak - can't wait!

challengemaster · 06-09-2008 1:39pm

Didn't live up to Season 2 IMO.

Also the fact that Rita gets preggers is so bloody predictable..

DHL have already delivered to me.

Will watch tonight.

I agree to an extent, however,

I hope it doesn't become too reminiscent of the 'Bay Harbour Butcher' storyline - Dexter working on a case on his own victim.

The end makes you wonder

if the kill was done by Freebow, or were they setting up the new bad guy of the season.

Soap Opera!? FFS

in the first season it was his long lost brother doin all the killing!

:P

Stark · 07-09-2008 10:22pm

Boring. But I didn't enjoy the opening episodes of the previous seasons too much either so hopefully it will get better.

Basq · 07-09-2008 10:41pm

Yeah, not a great episode alright!

Mediocre tbh.

Dwn Wth Vwls · 07-09-2008 11:27pm

Okay so it wasn't the best episode, but they need time to build up a new storyline. The first few episodes of season one were a little dull too. It was easy to jump into season two because being discovered was so shocking. I have faith!

im...LOST · 08-09-2008 2:30pm

* is dissapointed that it's not that good*

I haven't seen it yet but I can wait if it's not as good as you guys say.....

DeadParrot · 08-09-2008 2:58pm

I'm just glad they dont seem to be following the storyline from the 3rd book

is_that_so · 08-09-2008 3:03pm

It looked a bit untidy and disappointed me as well.

The fact that Deborah's haircut had any place in it was offputting along with Dexter's crisis

.

missingtime · 08-09-2008 4:19pm

I actually quite liked this episode. I know there wasn't much going on but its the first episode of a new series...

I think i just like seeing julie benz naked.

Edit: Who is that guy with the shaved head cracking on to debs? I know him from something?

Desmond Harrington, I don't think I've seen anything he's in. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004993/

Thanks!
It could have been a combination of:
Taken
Ghost Ship
Wrong Turn
The Hole

Anyway, if he's in it again it wont bug the **** out of me.

jayteecork · 08-09-2008 9:17pm

Liked it.

Problem is I gotta wait one week every time.

Please please please someone in America steal a review screener.

madrab · 09-09-2008 8:51am

Yeah, not much happened but it set a few things up

ps rita...WOW!

Ron DMC · 09-09-2008 4:47pm

I actually thought that wasn't a bad episode. I wasn't really expecting anything as exciting as last season so maybe that's why I thought it was good.

I liked the twist to be honest and I think it'll give Dexter something real other than himself to worry about (especially is Debs is pissed off with him)

sunzz · 19-09-2008 5:09pm

For all the people slating not great

:(:(:( ?

I honestly thought it was amazing, dexter doing something he's never done before killing without planning, not following harrys code to the exact detail.
How will he deal with this?

Setting up a nice storyline, the fact the the liuetenant(sp) has a connection with the prosecutors family + the prosecutor kind of baggering dexter. Not to mention the leuitenant being told on the previous season dexter was shaddy

he has so much to look out for now in his own department.
Whos the new guy, whats his piece in the play?

Girl being found dead is it freebow or someone else?

Mossy Monk · 20-09-2008 1:16am

I found it to be fabulous.

Shred · 29-09-2008 11:46pm

Just watched it there (didn't realise it was available before tonight:() and I really enjoyed it tbh. As has been mentioned, the last two series both started off slowly enough so I wasn't expecting anything mega from this episode beforehand. Roll on next week.

L31mr0d · 30-09-2008 12:28pm

I actually enjoyed it... moderately.

It's only now with this season that I'm realizing the vacuum that the killing off of Doakes has caused. All of the tension and suspense that his character brought to the show is gone now. Doakes was Dexters nemesis and without him it feels like half a show.

Imagine Superman without Lex, or Batman without the Joker or Naruto without Sasuke
