Dexter - Series 8 now done (US). It was the last series apparently.

[Poet]

some fucker on youtube comments bit spoiled who the ice truck killer was.

FUCKSAKES.

Impressive, considering no one actually knows yet.

but everything on the internet is true!

[hoot]

Episode 4:

Another good episode I thought, particularly liked the part where his girlfriend went down on him, I was cringing, just waiting for something bad to happen but turns out he enjoys himself. The mother of the captive cop was a bit freaky, felt like I was missing something.

As for who the killer is, I wouldn't trust anyone on YouTube to know the details. I used to browse the IMDB Lost forum from time to time and it was full of people with 'inside knowledge' posting 'spoilers', none of which ever were true.

On a slightly different note, how many episodes are planned for this? IMDB is only listing twelve, hope that's not the case.

Except the people who have read the book upon which the TV show is based, I presume.

I'd assumed the show is based on the character created rather than following the plotline of the book in any meaningful way. Whatever, I don't want to know anyway. I have my own ideas, so we'll see if they're true sometime soon enough I imagine.

[Exit Chamber]

It does say at the start "based on the book Darkly Dreaming Dexter" which is one of 3 novels iirc. Savage that you had it ruined if they are correct Owain :/

[Poet]

Ah cheers. I wasn't aware of that. I assumed (apparently wrongly) it was based on the character rather than a specific novel.

[therearerules]

Yeah, nobody better spoil it here. Not even in spoilers.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

Spoilers for this week (nothing to do with the identity of the killer)

Not having a "vigilante killing of the week" made it loads better. I'm glad they haven't fallen into that formula.

[Rin]

But we can discuss theories! I'm thinking it's his biological father at the moment.

[Straps]

Has Angel pretty much turned into anyone else's favourite characters EVER???!!!11

[therearerules]

I'm going with the police chief. Just a hunch. Also he's appeared enough to make him semi-regular, if he appears any more he'll become a regular, and nobody else we've seen really fits the bill.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

Has Angel pretty much turned into anyone else's favourite characters EVER???!!!11

Yes, but mainly because his name is Angel Batista. He was brilliant this week though.

I'm not sure if the killer will be his biological father, but they'll certainly be linked to whatever it was that happened before he was adopted. I think he might have killed his father.

Oh, and I don't really like the "Harry's lessons" flashbacks, they're a bit cheesy.

[Wickedkitten]

Except the people who have read the book upon which the TV show is based, I presume.

They have a lot of stuff on the show that isn't in the book and vice versa. If it is the case of being faithful to the book, the last couple of episodes are going to be pretty bloody good.

[therearerules]

I think he might have killed his father.

Oh, and I don't really like the "Harry's lessons" flashbacks, they're a bit cheesy.

Didn't he say he didn't kill his father?

Oh and I love/hate the wigs. They're of Darkplace quality.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

Didn't he say he didn't kill his father?

I can't remember. Yeah, could be his father then.

[therearerules]

wait I'm thinking of his adopted father.

[Rin]

I don't think we've found out what happens to his foster father yet. But we're supposed to assume he's dead.

[therearerules]

Actually I reckon it was nanobots.

[Rin]

I paused the area question and have decided it's merely a CG glitch.

[srgbilco]

I don't think we've found out what happens to his foster father yet. But we're supposed to assume he's dead.

He's dead. It said something like after killing the nurse in episode 3, his father made a recovery and went on to live a year or so more.

[Wickedkitten]

Hmm pretty interesting episode this week really.

[cassidy]

Hmm pretty interesting episode this week really.

Yup looks like someone saw him at his business.

[JohnC]

Just watched the last two. That eye peering out was interesting. The Ice Truck Killer perhaps?

[pledge]

I started to think that. Its doubtful it would be a Cuban as they would either be in the locked room or in the boat. The only other person I can think of is that his girlfriend followed him after he was very vague about what he was doing later.

[hoot]

I wonder if Dexter is going to get stitched up by the ice truck killer. After he turned down the chance to finish that guy off in the warehouse, the serial killer might be pissed off. On that basis, I'm thinking it was him we see hiding at the end.

[srgbilco]

Did no-one see the "Next week on Dexter" bit?

It was the ice-truck killer and he does stitch him up a bit.

Showtime has given an early greenlight to a second season of one-hour thriller "Dexter" and is finalizing a deal to bring back Mary-Louise Parker starrer "Weeds" for a third cycle, reports Variety.

Production on 12 new hours of "Dexter" will begin next spring for a premiere next summer. Renewal arrives after just five episodes of the current season have aired.

Based on the novel "Darkly Dreaming Dexter," the series stars Michael C. Hall as a forensics expert for the Miami Police Dept. who moonlights as a justice-seeking serial killer.

More Dexter confirmed? Yay!

More Weeds confirmed? Double yay!
