Originally Posted By avimagine Oh wait until next season if you think that's traumatizing... There will be more, although season 5 is overall weaker.
Originally Posted By Labuda Well, hey, Constance, this weekend I *think* is the weekend Showtime is doing a free preview that includes Showtime on demand. If so, watch the latest season of Dexter. It's maybe a bit weaker as Mark says, BUT I love the way Dexter grew as a character in season 5. I just hope that the fact that he & Deb are divorcing in real life doesn't mess up the show's future.
Originally Posted By Labuda Oh, and make sure you check out the books! The first one mirrors season 1, then it takes a departure, so it's fresh material in the rest of the books.
Originally Posted By mickeymeg We are just about at the end of Season 5 and it gets kind of intense. He is way too close to being found out.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Oh my god, this show makes me have heart failure! I'm so tense the whole dang time! lol Thanks for reminding me about the books Labuda! I had wondered if they were like the show.
Originally Posted By mickeymeg I was the same way with this last season. My husband was laughing at me. Dexter was so close to being caught by a few different people and in such a way that I just got really into the show and really wanted him to escape. I know that is vague, but I don't want to give spoilers.
Originally Posted By avimagine I didn't want to give anything out. On the hockey forums most people seem to not like 5, but what do they know. I just didn't like Dexter's fist kill in Season 5, was off character.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance I hope this show keeps going for lots more seasons. No good show seems to stick around that long though.
Originally Posted By avimagine Well i'm sure they'll have a Real Lives of Miami or something in the works. Hopefully not. Well it depends on whether or not they can continue working, that said the show could continue even if one of the "siblings" had to leave it would change the balance though. Not telling which "sibling" should stay though.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 Haven't seen season five yet, but season two is my favorite of the first four, because of the suspense of Dexter possibly getting caught (and the way he pinned it on the other guy).

Originally Posted By Labuda you'll have to be more specific than that, Mark... and keep in mind this says Spoilers in the topic title... you talking about John Lithgow?!?! If so, you got the "not a murderer" part wrong! hehe
Originally Posted By avimagine Sarcasm Sorry I haven't been sleeping well for awhile. I just hope Dexter doesn't get stale for a couple more seasons.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance I hope it's got a few more decades left in it. I'm on book 3 right now. Love the books, I'm so glad only the first one resembled the show. It's like a whole new season in each book!
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Finished the books! Loved them all. Can't wait for the next one.
