If us women are this way without realizing it I pity men everywhere. I keep hoping he'll knock off a pente, hehe. Surely a corrupt preacher will be in some episode somewhere! He did smack the child murderer who started praying (pilot episode I think), which I enjoyed immensely along with his comments to the guy about that never helping.

He is a good representative of the INTJ, by the way, minus the criminal aspects, of course. Well, for those of us INTJ's who are not criminal masterminds. All that internal planning. #$!. My mind exactly. The planning that is. And, of course without the knife. Lutherius* "I cannot and I will not recant. Here I stand; I can do no other."

His social independence reminds me of myself, an INTP. In one episode Batista was being friendly, and the narration had Dexter saying something along the lines of "What did I ever do to make this person think I was their friend?" with truly a perplexed attitude. That is an INTP up and down. I can't count how many times I've said almost these exact words to myself with the same sense of confusion. However, I know he's not an INTP with all that detailed planning and successful execution (so to speak, haha). I'd go into it forgetting some important detail and get caught right way.

I read the books first. The first season show kinda parallels the first book, but after that they go off in very different directions. It's strange in a way that so many can probably empathize with Dex. It's fascinating how the writer explores the world of a (supposedly) emotionless creature who feels about other people "same as I feel about lawn furniture." oops. lol, in short, i love Dexter. One of my faves.

Anyway, don't read below as it contains spoilers. Phaedrus, I was really surprised at the end of season one/beginning of two how they began exploring Dexter's origins. Okay, I was disappointed. I wish they'd kept him fully psychopathic for a bit longer. I don't find his developing feelings nearly as intriguing as his former self. I love Doaks, lol! I know somewhere in the future they get rid of him somehow. Too bad, he's my favorite character.

Were any of you intrigued by his British girlfriend in the second season? That was one cool chick. Lutherius "I cannot and I will not recant. Here I stand; I can do no other."

Sorry - book reference there. Can't help it - I think they handled a number of things better in the book but it would be hard to portray. I have to agree with Lutherius about the the overdubbed "self" conversation Dex is having. Those are some hilarious thoughts. Of course, there's hardly any mention of his "dark passenger", that "sibilant voice", that is such a prominent part of the books. Lutherius, yes I was intrigued by the british girlfriend, freaky, scary but sexy as hell. By the end of season 2, though, I almost hated her. I thought it was funny how Dexter's sister hated her and her cut downs were too funny.

I hate Lila, and she's only just been introduced. I immediately disliked her for....of all things....stealing those wind chimes, and she's only proven herself to be as bad as I thought. At least Rita is decent. I am enjoying Deb's put downs though, hehe. A lot of people on the IMDB forum seem to hate Deb but I really like her. One thing I enjoy about this show is the lack of beautiful people (aside from the evil Lila). Everyone is pretty normal looking with no supermodels populating the scenes because the writers can't write a decent storyline (network tv's problem).
