Dexter % % % % %

Woo hoo! I knew this show would kick into gear eventually and in the last episode on the second disk, it did. The ice truck killer's identity is brilliant. What an appropriate occupation! And now Dexter's having real feelings, instead of convincing himself that he's an alien, the show can really become compelling and exciting.

I particularly liked the interplay of sex and making love and the real emotional intimacy required for the latter. It's tough, and rare. I'm surprised that women tossed Dexter after sleeping with him because he was emotionless. I've had a few hollow emotional relationships and I never booted someone for just fucking. It's nice to think that women have those standards and that awareness, but I doubt it's all that common.
