Is anyone out there watching ‘Dexter’ on Showtime? I am completely addicted to this series, after announcing at first that I didn’t like it and didn’t want anything to do with it.
Boy, was I wrong. I love it, and I especially love the main character, as portrayed by Michael C. Hall. What a brilliant actor! He was a great repressed homo in Six Feet Under, and he’s an amazing serial killer in Dexter.
Here’s my problem. A new character has entered Dexter’s life, and the actress who plays her is verging on intolerable. There is something wrong with her face, but so far, no one will agree with me. When I say something is wrong, I mean it’s really weird and it just doesn’t work, like the features are all out of whack. Maybe its her jutting jaw, or her suspiciously big lips, but whatever it is, it’s a serious problem. Her face is so fucked up that I’ve stopped complaining about Dexter’s sister, who is a goddess in comparison.
To add to the face problem, the actress speaks in an exaggerated English accent and manages to make the word “Dex-tah” take about two minutes to enunciate.
Can this character please die? I am hoping Dexter will kill her in the season finale, to ease my pain. Is anyone on my wavelength with this? Help a nigger out.
I’ve only seen one episode so far as I don’t have HBO but I loved it! If only I could… *slap*… inside voice! Inside voice!
It’s a great show.
Haven’t seen it, but I wanted to respond to your theory that there’s just something out of whack with that woman’s face: There very well might be.
Studies were done on infants of all enthnicities and they all responded positively to faces with certain spacing between facial features. If this chick’s eyes are just a little off, then of course you’re thinking she’s vile. I imagine an infant from China or New Zealand would feel the same way.
I will start watching Dexter. I trust you.
Remember yummy Keith? Where is he these days? There should be a Keith channel on cable. He could host talk shows, home improvement shows (where he’s always parading around shirtless, fixing stuff with big tools), a reality show that features things like Keith going to the doctor and Keith getting his head shaved at the barber, and, of course a dramedy that portrays life in David and Keith’s household. Claire could pop in every once in a while and smoke meth with the kids. It could be called “Channel K”. I should be in charge.
I am green-lighting this, Mark. As soon as the strike is over, it’s a go.
This show is gold. And TV on demand is magic. The girl and I have been having Dexter watching marathons, watching all of season 1 and now caught up on season 2, all in a couple of weeks. Watched the most recent 4 episodes last weekend with the girl. So that british wannabe, layla i think, it first I thought she looked really great. Then the more I saw her, I would agree, there is something very strange about her face, and at some angles she looks like she has down syndrome or something. That scene after she burns her place down and is hugging dex and u see her smirking behind his back, she looks downright retarded right there, and really creepy. But I also think her body is pretty hot. So all those naked scenes make up for it.
