OCTOBER 2009

Dirty Harry slaughters the records

10/30/09

Last Sunday's Dexter broke a Showtime viewing record and became the most-watched telecast in Showtime history.

Multichannel.com breaks down the numbers:

The Oct. 25 premiere at 9 p.m. averaged 1.7 million watchers, according to Nielsen data. Adding the 371,000 for the encore at 11 p.m., the episode grabbed nearly 2.1 million viewers. Thus, the fifth episode of Dexter's fourth season became the first Showtime show to surpass the 2 million watcher mark.

The episode surpassed the show's fourth-season opener on Sept. 27, which pulled in 1.52 million watchers at 9 p.m. that night and 403,000 two hours later.

Lauren in Love

10/29/09

Lauren VelezLooks like Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter aren't the only cast members making a love connection on Dexter. Lauren Velez (Lt. Maria LaGuerta) is dating James Manos, Jr., creator and executive producer. From Velez: "Once I got cast, James called me and said, 'Congratulations, I'm really happy you got the part... I'd love to take you out for dinner to discuss the character.'"

Wednesday Round-Up

10/28/09

Lots of Dexter goodies in the news this week.

Dexter with BoatThe Olympian is celebrating Halloween by talking about TV Ghosts that annoy them and dearly departed daddy Harry is on the list. The rest of the story is less than Dexter related, but they make a good point about Good Old Harry.

Jennifer Carpenter (Deb) has been doing the interview rounds thanks to the 2009 Scream Awards and shared a few fun comments. TVGuide reports that, of the top secret season finale, Carpenter says "Dexter will never be the same." On a more lighthearted note, in this quick video from Shockya.com, Carpenter jokes that her husband, Michael C. Hall, takes his Dexter action figure with him everywhere.

Last, but not least, Entertainment Weekly writer Ken Tucker is causing a bit of a stir with his latest episode recap in which he lists the things that he wouldn't miss from this season of Dexter. Chief among them: Rita. I know one member of this wiki who definitely disagrees with him... what about you? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Where's Dexter?

10/20/09

Have you played Where's Dexter yet?

Where's Dexter? is an ingenious YouTube game set up by Showtime. Watch the video below and find Dexter hidden in the crowd of people. Click on him to advance to Level 2. Some levels are easier than others. I found him right away in Level 3, but Level 4 is stumping me something hard. Warning: this game might be crazy addictive, so make sure your boss isn't around when you start searching.

10/14/09

According to The New York Times, Jennifer Carpenter has put her 1937 California bungalow on the market. It can be yours for a measly $695,000. Now that she's married to the Dark Defender, she's ready to drop her
bachelorette pad!
The New York Times writes:

The 1937 California bungalow, with two bedrooms and 1 1/2 bathrooms, was built as a hunting lodge. Surrounded by mature trees and landscaping, the cottage has vaulted ceilings, skylights and decks off the dining room and master bedroom. There is a flat lawn and canyon views.


Definitely a steal!

I don't think she should get cut off, I just think they should make her a little less annoying. She was great in the beginning of Dexter. She wasn't around all the time. I understand that they are married and have a child. I just think she should be a little more understanding in who he is. She should'nt try to change him or even try to control him. But now, she getting to be in his face all the time. Dexter seems to be walking on egg shells when he's around her. He doesn't know, if what he's saying is wrong or right, when he talks to her. I am glad about one thing. He got to keep his apartment. I don't understand, why they couldn't just have dated more. I think it could have been, a better dialogue, with more interesting sexy lines or even more female for him to explore and learn from. But, no, I think Rita should be cut off. They should just give her a more interesting role to play. Maybe, cheating on Dexter or having a sexual encounter with one of his buddies, like Caine. I don't know, I just think it should be shocking. Like when Lundy and Deb got shot. My jaws drop. Now, that's a great cliff hanger. Come on guys, think of something like that for Dexter and Rita, something of a triangle, something saucy and sexy. Where we can see Dexter's true colors come out. His animal instincts, his hunger or appetite for lust, whatever it is that makes him tick, tack, tick, tack. And by the way, this Season of Dexter, FANTASTIC. Next Season, TICK TACK.

YGTBK..!? No way man that's ridiculous not gonna happen the writers can't even have a conversation about why Dexter broke his neighbors perimeter lights so forget it she will get cancer or something before that happens.. but should she be killed off because the Family dynamics are pissing everyone off please folks don't be so lazy.
