Posts: Movies and Television / Dexter Season 4

I'm pretty excited about John Lithgow. Granted the 2 things ive seen him be evil in (not counting unmentionable made for showtime movies) i didnt enjoy him. I am hoping this is the time where he plays evil as well as he plays preacher.

I caught the first episode, and he was just downright creepy. I hadn't heard he was going to be in it, and when I saw his name in the credits I was curious what role he would play. He nails the opening scene. I'm dying for more.

yeah he was totally freaking me out. i look forward to the background story that explains why he kills in that fashion.

We still need to finish watching the first season. lol =[ Fail.
To my credit though, I'm almost done with reading Dexter By Design... The books are very good! Except for the third book, don't bother reading that one.

which was the first one?
i paged through "darkly dreaming dexter" once at the bookstore. the writing seemed weak. i got the feeling that the character was the only real worthwhile thing to come from the book.

It reads pretty much the exact same way Dexter thinks/talks in the show. It's certainly a unique style of writing... To me, at least. At the end of the first book and moving forward I believe the story takes an entirely different route than the tv show - or at least that's what I've been told. Still same ol' Dexter though.

I have a secret..... I still haven't seen season one >

I've finished season 2 and 3, just never got in to season one

ah. 2 and 3 are better than 1. but 1 is still really good and worth seeing.

I really love Lithgows character so far, though I've now seen more of him than I've ever wanted to. I have a feeling this will more than make up how much season 3 disappointed me.

I can't be wrong about my opinion, tardface!

The storyline of him and whatshisface just didn't pull me in is all. I personally like season 2 best so far.

is it irony then that this proves your opinion can be wrong?

anyhow. him and Jimmy 'whatshisface' Smits were awesome together

My opinion may be wrong but I am not wrong about my opinion.

OK, on the car ride home from the airport we decided on purchasing the cord to connect the laptop to the tv... Going to dl seasons 1-3 on the laptop and watch it on the telly.

Now to not be lazy and actually do this.

First episode was great.
That first scene with Lithgow-- I agree with Mike-- freaked me out, as well. And I was watching it with my dad. I think we were both horrified, but found it awesome at the same time? Haha. I'm excited! I think he's such a great choice for a serial killer.

episode 2 was pretty generic. Seemed more like episode 1 should have just been 2 hours long. I know that's a weird thing to say about a weekly TV show, but I don't feel like this episode drove the plot forward any more than last weeks premiere.

Needs more Lithgow (to the tune of 'don't fear the reaper')

forgot to tivo it so now im going to avoid this thread till i see it.

i agree nothing happened in the second episode, definetly should have been a two hr season premeir
