May 5 2008, 4:37 AM EDT
I quite agree, Doakes is not only a Stereo-typical "angry" black man, he is a very stupid character. he makes the show look second rate. You would never see a character like his on " Criminal Minds" . He's "Hokey Dokes" a low class, no class cop. He is the best reason to forget the show.

He really is a you know what. Wish he would lay off Dexter and now he is stalking him. Doakes should get suspended for that one.

...keeping in mind La Guerta has coddled his temperment, and allowed him to get away with poor habits of interaction, which are not limited to Dex alone. Doakes has been a man on a mission - that in itself can wind a person up. Kudo's to the writers who have obviously succeeded in alienating him. I know men of high testosterone, (Doakes IS bald lol) and prideful people come in ALL colors.BottleB...who (what actor) could have better portrayed /conveyed Doake's roll? 2 out of 2 found this valuable.

"He really is a you know what. Wish he would lay off Dexter and now he is stalking him. Doakes should get suspended for that one."What is a "you know what"? Doakes is one of the reasons that Dexter has to watch his actions more than ever in Season II. The guy was Special Ops and the persona Eric King takes on is that of a fallen high status official. Remember La Guerta beat him out of her position by getting lucky. The only male in a family of women either makes you soft of toughens the hell out of you. Any fatherless child would know that. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I was on a different thread and there was talk about how wonderful Doakes was and how they missed him. Well I put my foot in my mouth and said I did not.

I want to post a question to ya'all, since we seem to be some people that are like minded. Please let me know what you think!Is this a definition of Doakes?, or something closer to what he presents that a basket full of fluffy bunnies? noun: a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion. I realize it is not an exact description but closer than most. Please let me know what you think. I will tell you what the definition is related to. Thanks. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

"I DON"T BELIEVE THE ACTOR IS AT FAULT> THE WRITERS<LOVE YOU GUYS> DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS CHARACTER"I think we all realize this is a character, and to give him all of the kudos he deserves he nails it. To have actually made all of us feel the way we do about the chacter, means the actor does a great job. I dont think any of us hate the actor, but the chacter is what we do not like. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Remember La Guerta beat him out of her position by getting lucky.I think you mean the captain got lucky didn't he? Didnt they have some belly bumping time together and she was promoted. Then she started to show how smart she was and got demoted? I am not sure but I think that is how it happened. The captain got lucky, know what I mean......? wink wink 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

"...Poor Doakes vs Poor Dexter......" ( Dexter being pigeon-holed as the sterio-typical white passive / "seemed like a nice, quiet neighbor, likes dogs" murderer.) JOKE. Who can say the highs are too high, and the valleys too low? THIS IS THE RIDE. Doakes is just as extreme left as Dexter is to the right. I think it is the contrast of these two that brings the dimension and crazy to those of us on the roller-coaster. Those of us genuinely tied in for the the thrill of it. I also think it did take both Doakes and Lila to counter balance the Dexter. Luv ya. the Beemer PS. no matter how much kickin' and screamin' you give it - it all goes the way of the tracks. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

I do not understand why the black card is always played when a black man has an attitide? Doakes is a great character with a normal "afer service" attitude.

I disagree. I've known a few guys like Doakes and only one was black. The others were Italian and Polish. The stereotypical angry black man is the Nation of Islam black radical that spouts socio-political rhetoric about "The Man" . Doakes is just an aggressive person with anger issues. It's more of a male stereotype than an ethnic stereotype.

To me this describes Doakes, it is from the dictionary and i will tell you what it is if anyone asks.noun: a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion. I realize it is not an exact description but closer than most. He is all over Dexter and a number of others, I don't think he is a stereo typical Angry Black male. But he is an angry frustrated male. Black is not exactly a key component or necessary. I have seen others that are this way and they are Caucation and Oriental (Korean's Mostly - Go Figure). Not so much Latin though. If you are interested in the definition, let me know. I will tell you what the definition is related to. Do you find this valuable? |

"I DON"T BELIEVE THE ACTOR IS AT FAULT> THE WRITERS<LOVE YOU GUYS> DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS CHARACTER"It's Doh vs Dex. He's there for a reason. The classic brains vs brawn dilema/contrast. Brains owned brawn as it was stated and proven after all was said and done. Even when clearly brawn was brain's superior at the job, brains' owned him. What great contrast. Also emotional fly off the handle Doh vs controlled cold calculating Dex.. great character contrasting! Do you find this valuable? |

Doakes has the Peanut Muscles that pop up with definition, while Dex is no Bookish Nerd even though that is what Doakes wants us to think. Dex has good muscle tone and it is obvious that he has worked out a time or two. I still say it is not Brawn vs Brains. It is A Bully that can not beat up the Geek. Doakes thinks he is all powerful. but Dex has the hidden weapon, as he is unassumeing, and has as much power as Doakes just not pumped up like Doakes. Doakes is no dumby, He knows that Dexter is not what he appears. he is just a Bully and will not shut up or stop harrassing him to figure it out. If were as easy as a contrast of Brain vs Brawn. I wonder if Dex has more brawn as he did beat up Doakes three times that I remember. Doakes had not been able to physically take Dex ever. It is obvious that Dexter has more skills and maybe more brawn as he did win the battles between them. Do you find this valuable? |

Dex has good muscle tone and it is obvious that he has worked out a time or two.humm.. good point, he is no dumby for sure, after all, presumably he was the only one in the entire department that had an instinct/intuition for Dex being up to something, whereas nobody else seemed to. But relatively speaking, he 'is' not more clever than Dex.. he's also very jumpy.. i.e. still not clear (to me) re what really happened under the bridge. Do you find this valuable? |
