Dexter Season Three

Warning: my review may contain spoilers… ;)

• Liked this season much much more than I expected to.

• I’ll never see Jimmy Smits the same way again.

• I had no idea Smits was actually a good actor. He’s talented.

• Smits was f*cking creepy. Even when he was acting normal, you knew he couldn’t possibly be normal.

• I mean, who talks about friendship and trust that much. Seriously?!

• I think that I liked this season more than last season.

• I still say last season’s drug story line was retarded.

• I absolutely loved all of Deb’s progression in this season. Loved her and Anton from start to finish. Its so nice to be able to be happy for Deb.

• It was also nice to see Laguerta in a new light. Still clever… but also… caring.

• Yay for Batista! Its also so nice to see him happy. I loved seeing him handle his promotion in stride and handle it responsibly.

• The beginning of the season was a bit slow for me, mostly because I felt like I knew what was going to happen, and just wanted to see it happen. By the middle of the season it started to pick up and just get awesome.

• Of course.. how could I ever forget Dexter? He finally figured out that the two people in his life he can trust, Rita and Deb, are the people he should trust. Every time Dexter tries to make a friend, it ends up in a whole mess of death. Maybe he’ll learn that you can have very good friends who don’t know all of your secrets.

• I always love how Dexter is confronted with people he has a lot.. in common with, but ultimately, he can see the difference between himself and them (Miguel Prado, George King).

• Dexter was faced with different opportunities for murder. Murder as pure self-defense (Oscar Prado) murder as a favor (for Miguel Prado), murdering someone who wasn’t a killer (just a pervert), and murder for mercy (Camilla).

• It was great to see Dexter sort through all those different opportunities to see which ones he was really comfortable with.
