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

[hoot]

Pretty sure they've commissioned a second series.

Excellent episode this week, I like the way Dexter and Roody share a lot of the same personality traits, there's definitely some close link there somewhere. For him to have recreated a memory from Dex's childhood could mean he was there as well, all very intriguing.

What are the odds Five will snap this up ?

If they haven't done so already.....

Anyway, this is by far and away the best thing to watch on the internet.

Wikipedia usually says what network has bought a show, but so far the only one for the UK is FX and that is for 2009. I can't imagine it not being shown at all until 2009, so someone else must be going to get it before then with FX basically doing a rerun.

Well I heard FX will be running it in January this year. Not 2009.

The reliability of Wikipedia in action.

So what are we reckoning here - the doc is Dexter's brother? Son of whoever killed his family? There's obviously a connection to the past there.

nah he just found out all the info from his dad before he killed him, is what I reckon.

In such detail?

That begs the question of how he knows what Dexter is then, doesn't it?

[hoot]

I think he must of been there during Dexter's childhood, for at least part of it anyway. The foster dad is the link I think.

[Strawp]

Total guesswork:

The foster dad is a serial killer. Makes much more sense him teaching Dexter tricks. He killed Dexter's family and also the Doc's family.

I agree, how else would he have been able to stage the tableau in the hotel room unless he was there as well when Dexter's mother got killed.

He was a police officer remember.

Maybe he has just had access to detailed crime reports, although I reckon the theory of a connection must be right.

maybe, if dexters father was a serial killer, he had more than one apprentice (i.e. the doc) therefore he could have been involved somehow in the killing of dexters mother

I dunno, Rudy isn't that much older than Dexter is

[Strawp]

I had Rudy down as younger TBH

[Exit Chamber]

I would have said a couple of years older

[JohnC]

He was a police officer remember.

Dexter works for the police. Doesn't stop him being a serial killer.

I just don't think his dad was a serial killer.

Rudy has killed random people and prostitutes though, as Dexter follows Harry's code he'd never do that.

[villenium]

I've only just watched episodes 9 and 10 and it's really been solid all the way through.

I'm loving how I keep thinking 'Don't kill Angel!', 'Oh no! Don't kill his sister!'.

All the characters are cool in their own way...it would be terrible if one of them got topped.

[russ]

Just watched the latest ep, everything is setting up nicely for the season climax

[Roboplegic Wrongcock]

Am loving Rudy and Angel, but my favorite character is Vince Masuka.

[hungry joe]

the one thing i do wish is that it wasn't quirky. I guess the Wire has spoiled everything a bit.

[JohnC]

The last episode is going to be great, isn't it? Can't wait.

[Rudderless]

Was nearly yelling "nooooooo, don't get on the boat!"

Ace stuff, brilliant the way such a throwaway line gave the game away.

Next week should be immense.

[Strawp]

My God, this is just frickin' immense. It's actually making Heroes slightly disappointing.

This is true for me too. I was well into Heroes but then started watching Dexter after checking out this thread.

Then again, Dexter trounces most things at the moment.

[The Grand Pursuivant]

That's how you set up for a season finale.

I want it now.

[Straps]

It is on Sunday coming, right? There's no stupidly long Christmas pause or anything?

Nope, same time same place, same 50 minute ep - no big long finale. Then we have to wait until Autumn for Season Two.
