View Full Version : Dexter
I was hooked from seeing the first episode.
The basic storyline (for those who don't know) Dexter works for the police as a bloodstain pattern analysist but is also a serial killer so goes around 'putting out the trash.'
Credits here to give you a feel:

Just got to watch one more before bed!
And there was me expecting Dexter's Laboratory! (http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/dexter/index.html)
Sounds interesting, will give it a bash. Where and what time?
I saw the first episode last week, really good show. Made an interesting change from the normal US cop shows.
Feek: It's on FX, but can't remember what time or day sorry.
Or you can be naughty like me and watch it here:

First series and it is on again tonight. But I'll be watching it on my naughty link later!
Watched 3 episodes now, it's quite good. :)

I'm watching it on FX at the moment. I'm really tempted to download it but I'm trying to watch series on TV at the moment.
Up to episode 3 now, did any ST TNG fans spot an old friend?
Just got around to this, it's creepy!

I love it!
Seen the whole of series 1 now and I love it too. :D
Regularly makes me laugh.
On the down side - it's finished for the season... :(
On the plus side - season 2 starts sooon. :D
Bah! I've only seen 4 episodes of series one! My sneaky streaming site collapsed!

Started watching this series last night....hahahaaaaaa!!!! Bonkers!!
I wimped out about half way through the first episode, not because it was scary or creepy, I just couldn't get into it, I had no interest whatsoever :(
second series has started pretty well, too
I'm watching it on FX on Sky because I like watching it in all its digital glory, although I may actually just download a lot of them in as high a quality as I can find and gorge myself.
Thing is, even though I'm a telly series addict and can watch several episodes of a tv show in one go, there's something quite fun about tuning in the following week. I'm doing the same for a TV show called "The Wire" which is quite good. A slow-starter though, and you have to watch it from the first episode upwards because it's all about character development.
I have watched 3 or 4 episodes of this now, whilst I find it quiet good, there is something about the Sister that I find very annoying, not sure what it is maybe its just the way she acts so dumb all the time.

You can get 700mb HDTV rips of it.
Actually 960x528 res - looks very good. The AC3 soundtrack is a bonus though.

Good finale on FX, and now I'm tracking down decent copies of season two, as there's no sign of when FX will start screening it. Anybody know of a decent release group?
Noooooooooooo! I haven't seen the first series yet! :(

To download or watch online? If it's download you are after then I can help, if it's online then I have no idea I'm afraid.
The first 2 episodes were put up online a while back, started off where it left off and was still very very good.
I heard that FX will be screening season 2
Noooooooooooo! I haven't seen the first series yet! :(
I have on my desk, 3 disks for you....

To download. Ideally 700mb episodes, but if 350 are all that're to come by, that's fair enough. :)
I generally get my tv shows from http://thesprawl.se it lists the episodes in date shown, you can also choose 1 particular show and on the top of the page is tells you what is shown that night. It's all the eztv stuff so 98% of the time they are very good quality. Obviously you'll need something like utorrent to download them.
Have you ever tried using http://www.tvrss.net? It'll give you a search-based RSS feed that you can then put into UTorrent, and it'll update with the latest TV-Episodes. I've been using it for ages, and it really helps to not have to trawl torrent sites all the time. I wonder if that's what TVRSS uses.
I've actually just noticed that at the top of that site you linked me to, it gives you a tutorial on how to make use of it. :)
I love Fayshun and Lom! X

Has anyone watched this weeks show yet? It's superb :D I only started watching about 2 weeks ago, I watched the entire of season 1 in a day and then got started on season 2 and now watch it every monday without fail.
Will he get caught at the end of this season do you think?
I have this weeks to watch yet. You sound like the bloke from my work, i burnt him season 1 onto DVD and he watched a few mins to see what it was like, then got his Wife to watch it too and they watched all of it back to back :).
Without seeing what you've seen i'd be amazed if he did get caught purely as it would be the end of whole program and leave nothing for a 3rd season. From a story point of view, as he is on the inside he has ample opportunity to scupper the investigation.
What's quite worrying is that whenever we watch it Jodie keeps saying, "that's just like you Cliff", obviously not the killing part :D.
I'm totally addicted to this TV series, and the English girl who's turned up who used to be in Hustle is a really good character for me.
Top quality telly!

Lila is a psycho! She's a complete mentalist, I've gone off of her now.
Do you work in a specialist police service then Cliff?
Nope, she thinks i have no empathy / compassion :D. The little comments he makes to himself when people are talking to him are like me aswell apparently.
SidewinderINC
21-11-2007, 15:17
hahaha, I took the good side and guessed at that :p
Hmm having caught up now i am struggling to see how's he's going to get out of it :).
SidewinderINC
23-11-2007, 01:31
not sure if what I'm about to say counts as spoilers - I've not read it anywhere and is purely my own speculation...
1. He could frame doakes as a killer, he does have previous.
2. He could frame doakes as THE killer
3. He could frame doakes as a coke dealer with the stash at Jimenez' place
4. He could kill doakes
All would get him out of the picture and would add a lot to the storyline, and potentially a storyline for a 3rd series if doakes ends up in prison..
I don't think Doakes is his only worry at the moment though, the noose is tightening with the investigation too especially about the car.
SidewinderINC
23-11-2007, 12:33
That's very true about the car, I have no theories about that at all except for "kill 'em all"
I'm undecided about whether I want dex to get away with it or not, one side of the coin he's getting rid of the "bad people" the other side he's still a serial killer.
EDIT -
Having watched this weeks one I'm unsure on how he's going to cover that one up, quite literally :shocked:
The rest didn't come as much of a shock though.

Just finished the series :D 11 and 12 are leaked already!
All I can say is WOW! That was awesome :D
Series 3 should be interesting, a complete fresh start if you will. Much like season 1 where nobody was onto him.
I think Doakes got shafted pretty bad though, he didn't deserve to die, but I guess he had to.
And as for Lila, thank god she's gone! She was starting to get on my tits, and her tits were the only good thing about her!

I didn't realise they were out till about midnight, so I set them up to download overnight and watched them this morning.
Apparently they're leaked from the DVD boxed set that's going to come out.

Ah right. :) I got a couple of episodes of Bionic Woman that way - pre-air DVD rips. :cool:
I've now seen the lot! Good series and 3 will be a completely fresh start storyline-wise.

Just finished season 1 and am starting season 2 now.
Really enjoying this, a good concept and very cleverly written. Plus I love the things he says to himself :D
I can kill a man, dismember his corpse and be home in time for letterman.
And others...
I'm Dexter Morgan... I can't think of anything clever to say...

I only have the paperback first 2, but I'm gonna get the hardback third one and then "update" the other 2 at a later date. I'm a sucker for hardbacks :p

Sets up the basic premise for S3 but doesn't give a huge amount away IMO. Still I'll leave it to your judgement :evil:

Well, Season 3 is over :)
I've hidden my views, but they don't give too much of the season away, just an overall feel of it and what I think of the ending :)
It's been renewed for a fourth season, presumably to air at the same time next year.
I enjoyed this season but forgot that it's only 12Eps long and was gutted to find out that it was the finale yesterday. I think it took the character in a very different direction and showed a bit more development of his human side.
I'm glad they've left the ending with only a slight cliffhanger, the cut on his hand, as they're not tied down (pun intended) to any particular storyline for the next season.

Strange but it's the only series that I have to watch one episode after another.

Episode 1 of Season 4 is pretty good :p
Yeah I heard there's a leaked copy going around but resisted temptation so far. If I watch Ep1, I'll want to watch Ep2 and that will be AAAAGES away.
When is it on telly? I can't remember!!! I think its sometime in sept I hope I am right!
Can't wait :D

That's my only issue, I'm now wanting more.
I'll wait until it airs in the US, can't be doing with such a long wait.
oh its a leaked 'one-off' kinda copy is it... oh well, 35% already is mine.
still got house and some other stuff to keep me occupied so the wait for ep2 wont be too bad :)
looking forward to it though, i'd almost forgotten about this show!

So Season 4 has just ended. OMGWTF!
Awesome season. *wants more*
Season 4 is over!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Is that ep 12 that's the last one then? :(
I take it that this is in the US.
Any idea on the UK TV schedule? I could always go hunting on the NG's but can't be bothered to at the moment.
End of series - WTF - OMG! They can't do that!
AARRGGHH!! Hurry up new book or series 5!
Michael C. Hall had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Looks like his treatment is going well and it's now in remission. May his recovery continue going well, I've always liked him in Dexter and 6 Feet Under. Linky (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8459524.stm)

**Edit**
Reading the same thread I think you've found and a later/almost last post dated 20/7/10 mentions that Season 4 is set to air a week earlier on Friday 20th August on FX UK @ 10pm.
:D
Well done! Test passed ;)
They've only just started to film season 5, so that'll be a long wait.
The lead actor... i forget his name... got cancer a few years back so it delayed things a while!
Not really. It starts on September 26th, which is about 2 months away?
He carried on filming through series 4, no-one knew he had lymphoma until he was in remission - so I don't think it delayed it at all?
From Wiki:
On January 13, 2010, his agent and spokesman confirmed that he was undergoing treatment for a treatable form of Hodgkin's lymphoma.The cancer is in remission and he is continuing treatment. Many castmates and friends made their concerns known to the media, some even admitting they had no idea Hall was battling Hodgkin's lymphoma because he never showed any signs of the disease.
He expressed anxiety, mostly because he had avoided doctors since a childhood hernia operation.
Hall accepted his Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award in 2010 while wearing a knitted cap over his bald head, having lost his hair to chemotherapy.
On April 25, 2010, his wife, Jennifer Carpenter, announced that Hall was fully cured and was set to get back to work for a new season of Dexter.
Well done! Test passed ;)

Sorry Joe. I have a slight(!) Michael C.Hall fetish, so can't bear the thought of waiting a long time to see him again. Caused mild panic & palpitations here :p
