How does a show that is so awesome GET BETTER?
Yes,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
feiran and I watched the first episode of season two of Dexter. JESUS CHRIST.
There are no words. I just put the rest of this behind a cut because I can't trust myself not to spoil while I sit here rocking back and forth going, "Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod" ad infinitum.
I was shaking by the end of the episode. THAT TENSE.
---------------------
Okay, I'm talking now (feiran). The first episode of Season 2 Dexter has got to be the single best episode of a TV series I've seen all year--and possibly the best season opener/bridge I've seen *ever.* Furthermore, I was seriously, seriously impressed by the woman who plays Deb. Last season she came off as the typical cute-determined younger sister type, but as a damaged, shaken cop being mocked by ALL OF MIAMI, holy shit! She's fantastic.
This was going to go in my LJ, but then I came into TV's room after lying awake theorizing and decided to write it here since she had Semagic open BYE.

---------------------
And now my momentum is totally lost. Which is okay, really, because I'm still sitting in the corner here going "Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod..."
No, wait, I can
---------------------
It's a good thing, dude. You were using phrases like "there are no words," which is patently untrue. I expect pages more! Okay, g'night f'real.
---------------------
AHEM. I can make some sort of comment now thatfeiran is sent off to bed. She might come busting back in here with yet another theory, but fingers crossed, I might be coherent and uninterrupted.
HOLY SHIT. I could not breathe at points during this episode. I just sorta gasped. I was totally overwhelmed and I'm not the killer who has to deal with this shit for reals! Okay, there isn't a killer who has to deal with this at all. I must remember that this is a TV show. Yes.
BUT Z'Oh My GOD!
feiran is right: acting is even better, on all sides. Deb especially, yes, but all around are new challenges and they're being met and mastered. Jesu Christo! I might just have to have the babies of anyone even tangentially involved with this show.
I'm fiercely crushing on new and improved Hardcore!Rita. I cannot believe Dexter couldn't get wood for that woman because I managed. For serious. As for Dexter, I think my subject line says it all. Doakes is following him everywhere. He has to bowl, for fuck's sake. He couldn't kill a dude who deserved it (nice parallel to the season one starter victim with the religious motif), and then there was the aforementioned performance problem. And it just keeps coming! The guy gets away. THEY HAVE FOUND THE BODIES.
::pant pant wheeze wheeze::
No, really. You know Dexter is inhuman because he didn't keel over and die like I almost did just watching. More thoughts when I am more coherent. Until then: ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod....
BEST. SEASON. PREMIERE. EVER. Blows away all the ones from this year by miles. This is the good shit.decidedly, for providing the link to content (legal even!), WILL YOU MARRY ME? And Dexter. You have to marry both of us. And probably feiran, too, but don't worry--she's cool.
