I think that part of the appeal of Dexter is that he is personable and likeable. He interacts well with Rita and the kids and with Deb. His secret life is compartmentalized and does not intrude on his day-to-day, normal existence. While Dexter believes he is a monster and dead inside, he does not act this way. He does not function like Michael Meyers, who truly is dead inside. Rather Dexter is a super-vigilante who through the magic of Harry's Code combines a compulsion to kill (thanks to me, the Dark Passenger) with the greater interests of justice. He's sort of like Batman, except Batman brings 'em in alive and Dexter has no intention of doing so. I see some problems with the way the story has developed so far in the TV series because Dexter is simply too nice a guy. We really do not see his uglier side enough to experience fear and revulvsion, the way we do with, say, Hannibal Lecter's cannibalism. Since we see everything through Dexter's eyes, we do not experience pity or compassion for the victims, since Dexter has none. But what if he were to get it wrong? What if, despite every precaution of fact checking, Dex were to torture and kill a completely innocent individual? Would he feel bad? He would have broken the Code, but since Dexter enjoys killing, does not experience normal emotions, and is very pragmatic (Oops!) I am not sure he would have any deep regret. I think that for the character to develop we need to see more of the cold-blooded nature of Dexter the serial killer at work. We need to have some compassion for his victims. We need to see that he is really not like one of us (or rather like one of you, puny human individuals, not me--the Dark Passenger, a demon). Sgt. Doakes is the only one who really understood Dexter, since he too was a born killer, but he was written out of the story line. I think the series needs another Doakes to put Dexter at risk and expose his darker side to the public gaze. What do you think?

Can't get enough of this show and the actor and actresses, that play in it. Dexter and Vincent are my 1st and 2nd favorites.

I stumbled by here and it is so nice to read these and realize that I am not the only one who thinks Hall is hot. He's so sexy that I wonder it's physically painful for him. I want to meet him. Michael...not Dexter, haha!

Is Mr. Hall known to be hetro or homo (sexual) ? I don't suppose it matters in a strictly moral sense, but curiosity is a strong thing. On the one hand lots of people - well practically everyone I meet - thinks I'm gay but oddly enough I'm not. I think it would be cool if Mr. Hall is straight, but lots of statistics - just going by the numbers - I'd suspect maybe he's not. I'm not going to ask the guy (duh) but part of the price you pay for getting famous is having people out there that you don't even know wondering things about you personal life - that's just the way it goes.
So what's the scoop? Aaron

"Non-acting careers: Furniture mover for an interior design firm (owners were gay) ..." I don't understand why "owners were gay" were included in this spec. Can someone shed some light as to where it goes from there? Strange.

Poor Michael C. Hall. Why can't his Hollywood peers see him in the same light as his beloved fans do?? He deserved a Golden Globe win and the SAG award for Best Actor because he acted the HELL out of the Dexter Morgan character and NOBODY else could have done it better. Hall is not only amazingly talented but he's the sexiest man alive! No bias here, of course. :) :) I'm a Dexter FANatic!

What is up with the hair? It looks like Dexter caught and kill a small animal then to hide the body he put it on his head and called it hair. I love Hall and last season OHHHHHHHHH! But this year -- the hair has to go.

I love the Three Dexters pic! It's a little creepy, seeing him as a child, teen, then adult (they really do resemble him!) but it's a charming photo! MCH is probably really great with kids....he's got it all. :)

The funny thing is that I thought that this storyline was turning out like that of a superhero before the Dark Defender even came to light.
I'm so glad the show is turning out like it is. Kudos to the writers and "YummY" to Michael C. Hall. ;-) |
