Dexter

[Porn Shop Clerk]

Worst season opener yet. :|

The whole episode felt phoned in and half assed. I really hope the season picks up as it goes along.

Still, not bad television. Just bad by Dexter standards.

Did you see the season opener for East Bound and Down yet??? It was freaking aweful!!!

The whole episode felt phoned in and half assed. I really hope the season picks up as it goes along.

Still, not bad television. Just bad by Dexter standards.

The previews looked great for the next episode. I think Dexter comes unglued....

No, I meant the worst opener for Dexter exclusively yet. Not bad for television, bad by Dexter standards.

I feel asleep halfway through. The wife told me this morning it was like watching season 2 which is not good. Hopefuly it picks up.

Loved the first season. Started watching the second season and hated every second of it. Haven't watched it since.

There were to many loose ends that had to be tied up from last season... That is why I think it wasn't as good as it normally is. Ritas death/funeral, having to tell the kids, etc... (Loved Dexter with Mickey Mouse ears telling the kids she had died)

I think this weeks episode will be better!

At the end of season 3, when season 4 and 5 were renewed, they decided to do a two season story arc. The first episode feels like it should have been the end of last season though. I wish the FBI had at least gotten a hold of him. The bathroom scene was definitely the highlight of the show.

Killing off Rita was a mistake. They went for shock value instead of story by doing that.

Im about to finish season 3, Jimmy Smits is a great character. My friend ruined Dexter for me by telling me about Rita. Hope seasons 4 and 5 are going to be good though. I miss Sgt. Doakes.

I just got started watching Dexter after a buddy told me that I needed to watch season 1 so he let us borrowed it and my wife and I are hooked...

I don't think it was a bad season opener at all. If you got hyped by the teasers and talk all over the web, I could see how you'd be disappointed. Dexter is a slow-paced, cerebral show. It's not going to drop bombshells on the viewer a la Lost.

That being said, why the in your face butt shot of that Jay Cutler lookalike, Quinn? That ruined the show for me, not the writing.

Season 1: Doll head on the fridge

Season 2: They find Dex's stash

Season 3: Accidentally kills the wrong person

Season 4: Introduction of Trinity/car wreck

Season 5: Dexter muddling around trying to figure out how to respond

Yeah, its a slow paced show, but this one just didn't hold up to previous openers at all. I expected better overall writing as well. It just felt half assed.

Killing off Rita was a mistake. They went for shock value instead of story by doing that.

IMO it worked out great, the whole serial killer with a family would have been trite.

I don't much care for suspicious Quinn trying to track down kyle butler, feels to much like season 2 with Doakes, I think that will be a dead end story wise.

This season feels more like Dexter getting lost in his darkness a bit more. l agree the bathroom scene was the highlight of the episode.

I think him getting Rita knocked up and marrying her was a mistake, and killing the bitch was the only way to fix it.

I'm glad she's dead.
