IronChefCrazy	Sad Sophomore Slump Oct 29 2007, 6:34 PM EDT Dexter is this decade's Dirty Harry: I certainly can't speak for everyone, but it's Dexter's inner monologue and (justified) killing sprees that makes this show so magnetic, and that's why it kills me to see the direction the series appears to be taking. None of the new characters have any real substance to add: they just seem to be fodder for standard storylines (e.g. Lila as Dexter's confidant/Rita's romantic rival, Lundy as Deb's surrogate father figure/mentor/potential lover, Rita's mom as the mother-from-hell). Instead, all we have to live for are little nuggets, like LaGuerta's next power play, Masuka's perverse giggle, Angel's rays of hope and humanity. I truly love this show and will continue to watch it, but it won't be with the same enthusiasm I had for the first season, or even the first three eps of season two.

SSCHW68	1. RE: Sad Sophomore Slump Oct 30 2007, 1:57 PM EDT Dexter is supposed be unchanging, unfeeling, and cold as the sea. This season is going in a different direction and he is losing his power. It is sad, but maybe he will snap out of it, find out Lila is a killer and take her out of the game. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Cyndawg	3. RE: Sad Sophomore Slump Nov 10 2007, 8:19 PM EST You took the words out of my mouth. Season 1: A+++ Season 2 first 3 episodes: A+. Season 2 episodes 4-6: blah. I'm disappointed as well, but I will still watch the show and I'll always be a loyal fan. Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
