Show of Hands – Season 3 of Dexter Not Fun!
It might be me, but I have the attention span of a small child most times, and the last three episodes of Dexter have not blown up my skirt. Last night’s episode, properly titled, The Lion Sleeps Tonight. And, sleep he did, because the episode was BORING!
It started out on a high note, Dexter relating what he does as a serial killer, with a lion protecting his cubs, but somewhere it all went so blah. We are introduced to Dexter’s victim on a trip to the market where Rita’s daughter, Astor, is talking to a man we learn quickly due to Dexter’s instinct a pedophile. OH, goodie. We get some minor stalking from the perp and from Dexter, but nothing methodical like we are accustomed to.
Jimmy Smit’s character, Miguel continues his creepiness, by overdoing it with Dexter. He is truly trying to be Dexter’s friend, but why? I guess as the season goes along, we will get more clues as to what really is wrong with him. Another victim is found, which clearly signals to Dexter and Miguel there is another killer on the lose that is not Freebo, like the police department still thinks. Some more boring scenes occur with Deb, Quinn, and Rita. More baby news, with Dexter telling Deb about the pregnancy. There was an uncomfortable yoga scene. Some bathroom pot smoking from Deb’s informant. How many episodes left, before she sleeps with him?
Dexter leads Deb almost literally by the hand to Teagan (Freebo’s dead girlfriend). The police always a step behind Dexter start look for Freebo at her house. And, Dexter tells Miguel of his plan to bury Freebo is a cemetery. All wrapped up in a neat little bow, right? We finally get our kill and it’s this boring strangulation. Really? That’s it, he had pictures of your kids, Dex! Come on!
Overall, once again the episode lacked any fire. I’m really missing Doakes this season. It might not be him, but there is definitely something missing. It appears they are making Dexter BE normal instead of pretending to be normal. What did you guys think? Once again, who is this new serial killer? I still like Smits character for these new killings? Or, is it Smit’s other brother?
Mark Wahlberg Lacks Sense of Humor
Did anyone see the Happening? Yeah, me neither. But, for some reason Mark Walhberg is under the impression he can afford to take himself waaaay too seriously. According to Perez Hilton he didn’t find Saturday Night Live’s spoof of him funny. Well, Mark I don’t find any of your movies good, so there.
Someone showed it to me on YouTube. It wasn’t like Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, that’s for sure. And “Saturday Night Live” hasn’t been funny for a long time. They’ve asked me to do the show a ton of times. I used to watch it when Eddie Murphy was there and Joe Piscopo and Bill Murray. I don’t even know who’s on the show now.

Note to Mark: Get over yourself dude. Because you sound exactly like that. When your entire repertoire of acting is a bunch of scowls, and furrowed brows it’s time to invest in some acting classes.
True Blood, Episode 6 “Cold Ground” Review and Sneak Peak
Last night was a homerun!! The episode was called Cold Ground and it was for lack of better words brilliant. From beginning to end, the episode answered questions and asked new ones, but in a good way, not like that mess Lost tries to do. I can’t stand JJ Abrams. You’re on the list with Michael Bay, Abrams!
Anyway, we begin where we left off last week, with poor Adele Stackhouse lying dead in a pool of blood. No more kind words from Gran, no more delicious breakfasts for anyone. How sad. But, in true mystery mode, the show threw both of the number one suspects, Sam and Bill in the room together. Of course, Bill and Sam finally square off, which we all saw coming. Once the law dudes showed up, Sookie gets to hear all their thoughts which is mostly finger pointing at her and Bill.
There was a major hint drop of the killer’s identity done by Bill to the Sheriff, “Our killer seems to be targeting women who have associated with vampires.” Remember that folks, it’s important. I propose to you our serial killer was in that church during Bill’s speech. More on that in later posts. In true Southern fashion everyone makes it to the late Adele’s house to bring food and over their condolences to the Stackhouse clan. By the way, what the hell is tuna and cheese casserole? It sounds literally like a hot mess. And not unexpected Sookie hears that mostly everyone in town believes it’s all her fault, for hanging around that vampire.
The tear jerker moment also came when Maxine Fortenberry, attempted to eat the last pie that Adele had made. A second moment came when Poor Stupid Hot Jason arrives to work and finds out, Adele has been killed. He of course flies off the handle at Sookie and Officer Andy. Anyone else feels like they are dating Jason? Seriously, I’ve seen that boy’s butt so much on this show. Not that I’m complaining, because it’s an excellent butt, just an observation. I found myself not cringing as much as usual last night when Tara spoke, because she proved she is truly a loyal friend to Sookie. Two of the best lines were uttered from Lafayette and Tara. “This is not drugs, this is a valium.” And “We appreciate ya’ll coming out – Love ya’ll.”
And, on a superficial note – Everyone looked a beat mess at Adele’s funeral. I mean terrible, terrible outfits. I have never seen so much ugly at one funeral. Tara’s mother decided to announce she has a demon inside of her. Personally, I think it was that fugly flowered hat she was wearing it is the route of all her problems.
Now, to the nitty gritty of the episode. I wasn’t much into the Sookie and Bill love storyline, but last night this all changed for me. Although, I think there is still some serious shadiness going on with Bill, I enjoyed him this episode. There was some cool vampire lore thrown in where he literally heard Sookie in distress underground in his makeshift coffin. Sookie dressed in true Juliet fashion runs to her Romeo. And, they finally consummate their relationship and it was kind of hot, I must add.
Overall, this was dare I say it, the best episode of the season in my opinion so far. I would give it an 8.9/10 if I were rating it. Anyone, any closer to figuring out who the killer is? One small hint, it’s someone you like. Thoughts, groans and moans? Theories.
I will leave you guys with these questions for next week’s episode:
Can the demon be exorcised from Tara’s mom?
Will Sookie forgive Jason?
What exactly did Uncle Bartlett do?
Sam and Tara will their hookups become public knowledge?
Will Jason have sex in every episode?
P.S. The tank top shop is next door to the ugly flowered dress and hat store. I think they are running a sale.
