This Show Is Really Making Me Aware Of How Many Murderer Icons I Have To Choose From.
Dexter continues! I'm up to episode ten, 'Seeing Red'.
Rita feels in control with Dexter, for the first time in her life, and of course she does; he has no idea how to interact with people, so he just has to let her take the lead.
I laughed aloud at Dexter going 'oh, man, I can't murder my therapist yet; I've got things to talk about and I need another session.'
Also laughed at Dexter telling his therapist he's a serial killer and finding it genuinely freeing. Incredible.
Of course, when Rita's afraid of being attacked, Dexter gives her some pepper spray in the full expectation that it will reassure her. He physically attacks people all the time, and that doesn't scare him; you just have to make sure you're equipped to overcome them! It doesn't occur to him that Rita's afraid of the prospect of getting into the altercation at all.
Big fan of Dexter just passing out in the room full of blood, and of how shaken he is afterwards. His reactions to things tend to be fairly muted; it's fun to see him badly thrown!
Absolute nonsense that we're expected to believe the Ice Truck Killer is not hard while thinking about how badly his crime scene fucked Dexter up. They're mutually obsessed with each other, they're both horny for murder, they've got this weird murder courtship going on, something's finally seriously got under Dexter's skin, and you're going to explicitly tell me that the Ice Truck Killer isn't fully erect right now? Bullshit.
Laughed aloud at Dexter knocking Paul out with the frying pan and then making the most incredible 'whoopsy doopsy, probably shouldn't have done that' expression.
There's nothing cool or aspirational about Dexter; this guy is just a big weird loser, and, to be honest, I think that's why the show works.
