Dexter on SHO - Page 49

I hardly ever believe what CEOs and network chiefs say. That syndication thing is plain as day and that is what worries me.

Apparently, Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter eloped on New Years eve.

Story here.

I'll ignore the potential in-breeding issue for the moment, and get to the important one (Yes, yes, I know Dexter was adopted) Was anyone deviant enough to put a bright red bloodstain on Carpenter's wedding gown? And don't act like nobody else out there has wondered about it, too.

Wait a minute. You mean Hall wasn't gay? Dang, he sure was convincing on SFU. But banging your on-screen sister while nobody on the set was the wiser (don't know if I buy that) is a little creepy sounding. And 'Dexter' is all about the creepy, isn't it? Hmmmm. Somehow, it all fits.

Seriously though, as human beings (who aren't blood related! ), congratulations to both and good luck. For rubber-neckers that don't watch the show regularly though (and some hardcore fans) this can only add to the already sky-high creep factor the show is known for.

HAAA! This is classic. Cool news!

They knew I thought. I knew they were dating but keep it quiet due to the perceived creepy factor.

I didn't check the linked story (I'm at work) but it was mentioned in this thread, over a year ago, that the two were dating. Obviously, the cast knew they were an item, if we did. I thought he was gay too, before that was mentioned. He's one heck of an actor.

"Dexter Season 2" coming on Blu-ray May 5th: http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=2380.

I just finished season one this week...I was blown away!! I can't wait to pick up the BR of season 2 when it comes out in early May. I'll also be sure to NOT read much past the first few pages of this thread, as to not spoil anything for myself.

Holy cow! From Fredfa's "Hot Off The Press" thread at the top of the 'HDTV Programming' page:

TV Notes
John Lithgow joins 'Dexter' cast
By James Hibberd, The Hollywood Reporter senior reporter, in his LiveFeed blog, May 27, 2009

In a terrific bit of casting, Showtime has hired John Lithgow to play a serial killer in the fourth season of "Dexter."

From the release (EDIT: don't read if you don't want Season 4's main storyline spoiled):



Lithgow is sure to be an improvement over last season's guest role from Jimmy Smits, who never seemed to really fit the show.

Very cool...looking forward to the dramedy. I liked Carradine's character too. Will there be a Deb/Lundy/skinned guy triangle going on? Can't wait.

Nice. This should be good.

Lithgow should be excellent. He first made an impression on me in Brian De Palma's Blow Out. Lithgow has been great in a lot of stuff, particularly his Oscar nominated performance in The World According to Garp, but I thought his performance in Blow Out was at least as good. The Guy has a LOT of range.

I don't want to know too much, so I won't read the article. Did they mention when the new season begins?

Season 4 premieres Sunday, Sept. 27th.

Any of you that haven't seen Dexter, Showtime is running the entire series in order between now and the start of Season #4. I think it starts this Sunday with the first three episodes on Showtime, then next Sunday episodes 4 and 5. Not sure when they will air, but looks like mostly Sunday nights from as far out as I can see in my guide.

Wow John Lithgow. His performance in Twilight Zone and Raising Cain makes me think there is the potential here for one of the best seasons thus far.

+1

Great news on Lithgow. I don't want to read the spoiler, but from past roles I know he can play a great creep so I can imagine the possibilities.

Jimmy Smits for season 3, John Lithgow for season 4... already has me wondering who they'll pick up for season 5.

Can't stand this. Waded into season one, first disc of the blu-ray set. Maybe that is when I first started to get a little nervous. I'd say by disc two of that set, this malaise had descended upon me -- after all, I had just shelled out for for season one and two on blu-ray.

Checked the season two set -- about ten hours worth as well. Onto disc three of season one and I was getting quite noticeably agitated. I almost didn't watch season two, but I was home sick, nothing on TV of late to give depth to my backlog of recordings...and I was weak and delirious, that is the long and short of it. Powerless but to surrender to this series, even though to not watch season two, I could harbor a secret delight, knowing it was there, knowing I always had at least ten hours of bliss tucked away for a rainy day -- a rain check ticket of transport to total captivation... but alas dear friends, I did ultimately give in -- happened right after I put season one on the shelf.

And the agitation grew through season two, disc two. How could anything be so good? It has ruined me. I could barely sit still through disc three -- kept pausing it, but relentlessly the seconds melted away, the minutes vanished -- countdown to total abandonment. I'd be left a husk of my former self, like a bereft rejected lover ruined, utterly wasted on the medicocre entertainments that voraciously ate my precious hours previously. One disc til annihilation... then one hour -- now it is upon me!

I cannot bear it. Do not taunt me with season three -- it is out of reach, best not dwell on it, but friends, I confess it has come crashing into conciousness these last several days since the closing credits on season two has wasted my days -- cold sweat and morbid terror -- it comes to me, and my horror is extreme -- season three assaults me in my sleep! -- all I can focus on is: ten scant hours!!! -- even in that never-to-come too far future! THE HORROR...the horror...

Please friends, I do not have cable -- I don't know what else may be out there -- is there anything, anything even half as good as DEXTER to salvage my ruined spirit? Six Feet Under? Sopranos, Rescue Me, Breaking Bad, Entourage, Deadwood? True Blood? Please help. I am a ruined man...........

There's threads on all of these, check 'em out. And Season 3 of Dexter may cool your jets a bit....

larry

Well, Larry, I had kinda wanted to hear about any series in a relative evaluation against the new standard...yeah, yeah, but is it even remotely as good as DEXTER? I'm afraid stuff I called worthy before, can no longer be trifled with, plus I was hoping to access the sensibilities of those to whom DEXTER appeals. But I know I correctly interpret your timely intervention here to signal your ever vigilant devotion to coloring within the lines -- a little prudent laying down of prophylactic plastic lining, lest the thread get too messy.

Noted.

^^^ Dennis Miller ladies and gentlemen, Dennis Miller!

True Blood is certainly in there, although plastic drop cloths are not in use, they should be. It has a similar creepiness factor.

I have to disagree about Smits not fitting in.
He fit in just fine.

Season 3 was excellent as well, I don't know what the mods are talking about.

Thanks dad - amazing news

I became a Jimmy Smits fan as a result of his excellent performances on NYPD Blue. Nevertheless, I couldn't get past the so called Cuban accent he affected during his Dexter gig. The guy was born and grew up in New York, for heaven's sake, and is a college graduate, to boot. Thus, the Cuban accent was a really bad choice, it seemed to me. I am pretty sure, then, that his natural speech is as it was when he played Detective Bobby Simone on NYPD Blue, that is to say, purely American.
