Proving I have no life, I finished Season 2.
Again, wow. SPOILERS AHEAD:
------------
- Paul died!!!
- Lundy is such a great character.
- Lila was mentally and emotionally gone in a way even Dexter isn't.
- It's 100% confirmed that Deb has serious daddy issues. You can't blame her though. Harry wasn't as devoted to her as he was to Dexter.
- We continue to find fun new wrinkles in Harry's past.
- It's kind of funny that, for all we're supposed to really get inside Dexter's head and understand how he thinks, his direct conversations with Doakes while in serial killer mode reveal that he's utterly insane, right or not.
- Poor Doakes. It's one thing if he tries to play ball with Dexter and looses. Right or wrong, actions have consequences. It's another to just get killed by Lila because she's unstable. As questionable a person as Doakes was, he got an awful hand of fate dealt to him.
- In maybe the season's best philosophical moment, we're left to really wonder if Dexter being alive is a good thing. He's there for Rita and the kids and his sister and Angel, but Doakes got screwed, Angel almost got screwed, Lila arguably went crazy because of him (although someone would have eventually done it), Paul kinda sorta died because of him, and LeGuerta acted like a human being for maybe the first time in the show because Doakes's death meant something to her.
And so, we're off into Season 3. By the way, for Battlestar fans, wasn't watching Crashdown in Season 1 of Dexter pretty fun? Sam Witwer is a pretty solid actor.
