I've sat and watched the entire second season, then started over again. I've done this on more than one occasion.
Dexter is great..
i miss him...

I can send you some spoilers if you'd like.
I was talking about Dexter at school last week, talking about my project "The Dexter Experiment", and my teacher must have heard me, because she gave me a bunch of articles of Dexter from some magazine yesterday
what's ur experiment?

I saw a preview of the first episode of season three -- and it's going to be a good one, with a couple of more new crises for Dexter to deal with. The last line of the episode is a killer!
I just finished the third Lindsay novel. I wasn't terribly impressed with it. If I had been his editor, I would have advocated stripping out all the italicized "IT" sections and gone on from there. The core story was okay, but the supernatural aspects lead me to believe he's jumped the shark.
you'll see when it's done. no promise that it'll be any good though. ^_^Originally Posted by theBeamisHome
i felt basically the same way. i was kinda like "huh? that wasn't necessary." .... actually i hardly even remember what happened.. that's how much i rejected it

I still can't get David Fisher out of my head when I see Dexter.
i really wish i hadn't left the rest of season two at Nigel's....Spoiler:
anyways that's where i left off.

not only was Lila
Spoiler:
and
Spoiler:
Also
(damn, lots of spoilers)
Spoiler:
which i think would be a fucking awesome idea.
you think he'll ever tell Deb or Rita what/who he is?
well in the books Deb knew and it didn't really ruin their relationship.. she can be whiny but i think she would still accept him. especially since she worshiped Harry and Dexter lives by the Code.
and you know what, honestly in the last two episodes or so i did really start to get Doakes.. maybe even sympathize. but then i thought maybe he was just being smart.
i've heard that people thought Lila was fugly and some that say she's beautiful... i hated the pouty lip thing... everytime they had sex i wanted to puke
hmmm... this makes me want to change my sig/av theme...

to a "Lila's a Fuck-Ugly Bitch" theme?
I was laughign me head off when Dexter was imagining how Deb would react if he told her.
no just Dexter in general.
and it would be Fugly Psycho Bitch... can't forget the psycho... it's crucial

true. if i wasn't so fixated on The Doctor, I would change my sig to a Dexter theme.
1. necropost
2. finally catching up on season 1 of the TV series
3. Been listening to Darkly Dreaming Dexter on audiobook, since the library doesn't have it. Is good, wonderful actually.
I just started reading Darkly Dreaming Dexter and have Dearly Devoted Dexter waiting in the wings. Love the show and love the book so far.

I'm not someone to tell anyone to not read something...
That being said, avoid the 3rd book like the plague. This is a clear case where the TV show mythos diverged from the book mythos and for good reason.

I have to agree with Gris.
I had the third book spoiled for me (though spoilers don't really bother me).
I will probably not even wind up reading that one because I really hate that thing to which Gris refers.
I started becoming disenchanted with the novels by book two, when he first started down a road with Rita's kids that I didn't care for. One of those rare cases of the TV series far exceeding the books.
Agreed.
The TV shows doesn't touch on it AT ALL and it's a good thing.
That is just one of the reasons I'm not a fan of the latter books.
2nd at least had a decent "Dexter" plot. The 3rd book didn't even have that.

I disagree entirely. I love the books and feel pretty "meh" about the show.
I like the feel of the show, but it's gone off on so many sentimental tangents from the book. I prefer that in the book Dexter is devoid of emotion, it's much more realistic for a psychopath.
Yes, I wasn't really expecting Dexter In The Dark to take such a supernatural route, but y'know I stuck with Lost and King does it in most of his stories and I thought Lindsay made it work. I've pre-ordered Dexter By Design.
I didn't bother reading this entire thread and just wanted to give my opinion of the series that is Dexter.
I thought the series has amazing potential until the last book. When they brought in the 'Dark Passenger's orgins and all that supernatural cult shit, it kind of jumped the shark.
Anyone else feel the same about this?
Jeff Lindsay said that he is releasing the next book in September which is entitled Dexter by Design. The fifth volume is supposed to be released by 2011.
On Amazon it looks like Dexter By Design is already out in the US: [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dexter-Design-Jeff-Lindsay/dp/0752885170/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1250542177&sr=8-1"]Dexter by Design: Amazon.co.uk: Jeff Lindsay: Books[/ame]
I pre-ordered the UK edition and it's due for delivery 24th-26th August
As I said in my post above, I didn't expect the last book to take that route, I guess you could say he jumped the shark, but I still enjoyed it enough to keep reading.
