Dexter

jas/LB: go to dailymotion, select an episode, wait 10-20 minutes, it should be buffered enough to then hit play and watch it through. no downloading, high resolution.

face: on episode 4 now. the library closes at midnight so i have time to write this report. if i fail, you pay my tuition for next semester due to lost scholarship. i fucking love this show. goddamn you for posting this thread.

oh, and i loooove the little story arcs nestled within the bigger one, and how both serve to show dexter's past... christ, this really is fantastic. maybe it's how showss are done, but you're talking to a guy whose TV experience is limited to adult swim and scrubs, so this sort of plot depth is... awesome. usually after 4-5 episodes of a show like family guy i get bored, but here... 5 hours later and i'm eating it up like caaandy.

Does anybody understand that joke Dexter told Dee Dee? It was not an episode itself, but it was one of those animated shorts that are shown between episodes. It was something about "A scientist was testing positively and negatively charged hydroxyl ions" and the joke ends with "That's not a hydroxyl ion, that's my wife!" Dexter collapses to the floor in fits of laughter and Dee Dee just stares wide-eyed at the camera. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

I tried to remember it, maybe it's right?
Not perfect but it goes something like this,

A physics professor and his assistant were working on *(something I forgot)* with negatively charged hydroxyl ions. When the assistant says, Wait professor, what if the salicylic acids don't accept the hydroxyl ions. And the professor responds, that's no hydroxyl ion, that's my wife.

It doesn't even make any sense to a chemist. It was just supposed to sound all scientific. Haha, still found it funny though.

He does that to shut her up. Lol.

It has to do with Aspirin and Alcohol. Like the chick had a hangover and she wouldn't take aspirin?

I don't know that's what I get from it from various translations.

[Facetious]

Yeah dude.

Not as good as Weeds ^_^

I like Weeds, but the characters are too ridiculous and the plot is unbelievably (in a bad way) fast-paced. A guy poking a hole in the condom the same episode as his mom fucks some dirty drug dealer in an alley for no reason, the same episode as his 10-year old brother has his first gay experience and gets busted for crystal meth? Alright the things about the 10-year old brother didn't happen, but it's always stuff like that.

[CrvenBan]

House pwns all, especially with the introduction of David Morse as a badass cop (I haven't been able to see if that story arch had a resolution yet), but Dexter does sound fun, and I'm in a need for a good show... checkin' it out

new episode yesterday

this is like re-watching Lucky Number Slevin or some such movie... like, you KNOW the characters' backstories and so their dialogue (especially Dexter and Rudy's) are really witty, because half the time they're double-meaning. This is great.

[Facetious]

Either the last episode is going to be ridiculously action-packed or it's going to pull a Weeds and end in a ridiculous cliffhanger.

See, since this was based off of a book, I'm assuming it has to come to an end.

SPOILERS

I'm guessing Dex's identity will be revealed... but then again, TV show politics... it's been renewed for a second season, so he's got to somehow keeps it a secret, which I guess is plausible... if he gets to Rudy first. Maybe Deb finds out?

TBH my favorite theory up until the last 2-3 episodes was that Dex would deduce the Ice Truck Killer's identity and then join forces with him... make him turn his bloodlust into positive action (like what Harry did with Dex). But that's because I love a good ending. Now that Rudy's fucked with Deb and angel... yeah, he's gotta die.

I hope that it wraps up nicely, that's all I pray for. I'm still used to TV shows being 30 minutes long, but this being an hour gives them alot of time to close up the whole story arc, so I'm confident they won't fail.

I'm interested to see how Doakes is going to play out. It's pretty obvious that if anyone was gonna start sniffing out Dex, trying to figure out why he's weird, it's this guy.

[Sufficient]

I started watching the show after you guys suggested it. It's pretty entertaining, but some of the acting is a bit kooky/off/cartoonish/bad. I hear the show is based off of the book(s). So maybe check into that.

[Facetious]

Yeah I agree on the acting a fair amount of the time, but I still like it.

[Pressure]

anyone else think of dexter's laboratory when they saw the topic title?
