TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

All those arrests are Public Record, so it could be any do good vigalante. Wasn't as much summed up during the search for the Bay Harbor Butcher?

I no longer have Showtime...is it worth buying Showtime just for Dexter this season?

Losing Rita was like a blow to my heart, as she was pretty much perfect for the role, balanced out Dexter perfectly, and well, let's just say it, she wasn't hard to look at either.

I guess the screwy editing on 30 Rock at the commercial breaks was meta humor, but it just wasn't funny enough to be worth how off-putting it was.

Edit: The Office just pulled off its best episode in two seasons.

I'm sure it's been said before in this thread, but how awesome is Bob Odenkirk in Breaking Bad?

Dunno, it looks like from the previews

Dexter is in real trouble for Rita's death. Trinity's Family mentioned Kyle Butler and its likely Quinn is going to match the two of them together and become the next Doakes.

Also this is about any TV shows so please spoil any MAJOR plot points for shows anyone might be considering watching.

Anyway, there's tons of unsolved murders, including serial killers, so I don't get how it's unplausible he hasn't been caught.

How many of those unsolved murders are committed by co-workers of people whose job it is to solve those crimes? And whose victims are people who have been arrested by those same co-workers? Dexter himself pointed it out in the first season, how odd it was that in a room full of homicide detectives, Doakes was the only one to suspect anything at all. Let alone all the close calls, like the kid in the junkyard and the FBI's humongous man-hunt.

He also points out that Miami has a 20% solve rate for murders, which is pretty good odds for someone who is a cop, was trained not to get caught by a cop, and whose victims were only discovered after they had been at the bottom of the ocean for months, if they were discovered at all.

Right so that's 20% for every murder. The more murders you commit, the more likely you are to get caught. Has a Cop who thinks he is a little weird, is the primary suspect in a current investigation and will likely be linked to a known serial killer under a pseudonym.

It's not that's it implausible he's evaded capture, it's that he's been so close to getting caught so frequently that it's a little annoying some of the deus ex machina that helps him evade capture.

The kid who saw him at the junkyard in 1, then gives the sketch artists an image of Christ? Doakes had him dead to rights - why wouldn't he take the blood slides with him to Haiti? Then Lila found out, kills Doakes for him and then mysteriously disappears without telling a soul after Dexter spurned her? There was his luck in being able to burn the videos before anyone saw him on his boat. Jimmy Smits catches him killing a man, but not only doesn't care - asks to help out? Killing a DA? Getting captured by the Skinner - a lowly blood analyst? Now with Trinity, he's got the pseudonym that he will be tied to and that he was at Trinity's house multiple times. Why was the mold broken for Rita? So he was at the house of the guy who killed his wife - not to mention Dexter being a suspect in this one. Then what kind of suspicion will be raised when they realize the DNA at the truckers place was planted?

He's perfect. I've always thought his comedy was really hit or miss but that role is the perfect vehicle for him.

The fake TV commercials for his law firm are hilarious, especially the Badger and Wendy ads.

That's my exact thinking too.

Also, GK probably hasn't seen it yet, but

I'm fully caught up now. That Wendy montage from I think the 12th episode of season 3 is awesome. The song is still stuck in my head. I'm conflicted about it, because they border on making fun of her and that may have crossed the line a little bit. Still it was hilarious and poignant in parts.

I lost it when the lyrics said "bending over to give me a rainbow" while she was blowing some guy in a car. It's so odd how she played a pivotal role in the third season. Think about how much wouldn't have happened without her. Or might have happened very differently.
