Yea no ****! This season is gonna be crazy!

 

[flickchick85]

YES, I've been waiting to see Adama return to...something on my screen. Glad it's something I already love!

 

[Pink Ranger]

Uh oh, an old guy in an authority position. Somebody better hose Debra down before she pounces.

 

[wiegeabo]

It's Edward James Olmos.

Everyone is gonna wants some

So will there be a poll over what new cast member gets his life ripped to shreds from dating her?

 

[CrypticOne]

Brea Grant has signed up to appear in the new season of Dexter.

The actress confirmed that she has landed a recurring role in the show in a post on her blog.

"No spoilers," she teased. "But I'm pretty sure you'll be seeing me in a white labcoat."

Grant previously played Daphne in Heroes and has appeared in Friday Night Lights and CSI: Miami. She has also penned comic books focused on SuicideGirls and zombies.

Grant is the latest star to sign up for the new season of Dexter. Other actors who have already joined the show include Billy Brown, Mos Def, Colin Hanks and Edward James Olmos.

Dexter is expected to return with new episodes on Showtime later this year.

I don't how I missed this before.

season 5 kinda sucked. season 4 sucked half the time...season 3 was ok. hopefully they match season 1 and 2 this year.

however season 5 would have been so much better if Lumens character was portrayed by a good actress.

I felt she did unexpectedly well considering past performances.

 

[Reek]

yea she was a real hit in 10 things i hate about you.

 

[kedrell]

I liked season 5. Sure it wasn't as good as seasons 1, 2 or 4 but it was a helluva lot better than season 3(the weakest season so far, IMO).

Julia was great as Lumen

That teaser is a real shame. I was hoping Dexter was going to be able to overcome his inner demons. It does't appear to be the case.

I fear the series is going to end with Dexter in an electric chair, & the cloth being put over his face. Going to black.

 

[Prison Mike]

It would probably be a fitting ending to the series IMO.

 

[Nemi]

Is it just me or does that sound like two different monologues?

 

[DIRECTOR]

it's an awesome promo, but it makes Dexter seem too evil.

 

[Master Chief]

He is evil. If it weren't for Harry's code he'd be no better than the people he wraps in plastic lmao anyways that monologue sounds like they're going back to season 1 Dex so I'm psyched, no more of this exploring repressed feelings nonsense.

That's really the philosophical question underlying the entire show, that I don't think will ever be answered definitively: Is Dexter a truly distinct and sovereign human being who is self aware and practices a moral code, of sorts? Or is he nothing more than a trained animal (like a Pavlonian attack dog) who practices a moral code that is imposed on him through rote learning, but it actually unable to independently appreciate the reasons behind his moral code and unable to form one of his own?

I think Dexter started out as the latter, and that the show is about his journey to become the former. Whether he actually achieves it by the time the series ends is another big question.

I think that Harry saw what Dexter was doing as a child and assumed that he was a heartless monster and that the best he could do was focus him in a certain direction. Dexter ended up growing up believing the same though little by little he seems to be finding out that there is a human being under there (though a very flawed one).

One of my favorite scenes from last season is when he completely slaughters a guy in a bathroom and Harry tells him that it's the first human thing he's seen him done since his wife died.

True, but it kind of bums me out that's what every season has revolved around. The whole reason I fell in love with the show was because he was just as messed up as the people he was killing. I was a little disturbed when I hopped in expecting a typical vigilante and was treated to an emotionless calculating killer that could have just as easily been murdering civilians.

I liked how Rita opened him up and it was cool (and a lil funny) seeing him try to find a balance between real relationships and his dark passenger when he became aware that he could have, and even want, both; But I hated that it had to be the center of the show every season, y'know? On TV there has to be character development but they have this awesome character and it feels like every season after the second they've been trying to take the awesome away. I can't believe season 6 is coming and they still haven't matched the big bad of season 1 (Trinity came close though). The precinct romances don't help either but I digress.

That little teaser has gotten my hopes up. No Rita. No Lumen. No kids. Just Dex in top form.

And hopefully more Masuka hahah.

 

[Prison Mike]

Doesn't he still have the baby? He can never go back to his season 1 self just because he still has Harrison (I think that's the kid's name?) to take care of.
