Actually, having shadowed several neurosurgeons, you'd be surprised at how fast the recovery is. You wouldn't think it, what with your fucking skull being sawed open, but it is. Also, they tend to not remove more skull than necessary, mostly just drilling holes. But the dramatic effect is nice

Emily Deschanel is a better looking and more talented than her precious indie manic pixie girl sister, Zooey. In fact, Zooey is Bones's quirkiness taken to the extreme. Absolutely insufferable

re the comment that Cuddy is not into "diagnostics." This always pisses me off. What, OB/Gyns don't make diagnoses? Nephrologists, epidemiologists, all doctors make diagnoses. In real life, there is not diagnostics "department" because every doctor diagnoses patients. House just takes on the trickier cases

Well, her ex-husband was bad news and a manipulative prick. I would never kill people like Dexter does, but if anything I could see myself doing that to Paul.

I mean, it's not absolute or universally agreed upon. By some people's definitions, Dexter is middle-aged.

I don't know, Dexter's mid to late 30s. Just shy of the absolute lower end of what I would call middle-aged. I think mid 40s is when I would begin middle aged.

@Actually: Does it really matter? Alton Brown has never claimed that Good Eats is a show about quick and easy meal solutions for the busy mom or overworked professional. In fact, if one were looking for that, I would direct them to something like Rachel Ray's 30-minute meals.

I actually think Lithgow was underused. I mean, he got plenty of screentime and all, but I was disappointed characterwise. This is why Dexter gets placed on a notch below Breaking Bad and The Wire for me. It's not the execution, or even the acting (although the actors on Dexter, aside from Hall, Lithgow, Smits and…

I can't read the speculation on the boards anymore. If I have to keep facepalming at the this rate, I'll give myself a concussion. Suffice it to say I already gave my rationale for why Dexter wouldn't hide Rita's body instead of call the police. To think he would clean up the crime scene and file a missing persons…

But no, good points. I have no intention of devolving into a flame war. I still disagree about the Rita bathtub thing, but yeah, sloppy sloppy.

You know, we're both nitpicking. You're nitpicking the show and I'm nitpicking you. I completely agree with you, it's certainly a combination of sloppy editing and writing. My main point is that while it's certainly (very) implausible, it's still possible. Hell, I liked the idea of Trinity killing Rita, but I agree,…

Yeah, Deb might see a parallel, bleh, Dexter doesn't have to tell them Harrison was in the room, and if so, so what? Trinity could have deliberately done it to get back at Deb is what she and the police would probably think. And yeah, Rita's the wrong kind of woman, wrong time in the cycle-but again, could just be…

Well, Arthur goes to Deb's place later in the night actually, doesn't change anything though

I did watch it again, as you implored me, and the timeline still fits, though I misremembered a few details. Arthur wakes up in the backseat of his car while Dexter is in jail. Sees his money missing, takes the bus home (he's done this before. Surprising, because, as a resident of Miami, all mass transit is…

As long as the surviving Mitchells don't mention that Dexter was there when SWAT raided their house, the dead Kyle Butler would be cover

Thanks
Glad to see a nice review like this in other shows. There's a lot of fucking trash out there (anybody seen that ghost hunting show that comes on after man vs. food?). but once in a while, I completely agree, it's nice to watch some completely mindless shit. Not garbage, mind you, but candy. Psych, Burn Notice,…

Dexter doesn't necessarily have to die, and Deb doesn't necessarily have to arrest him, but there does have to be some sort of reckoning for Dexter/Deb has to find out

Yes it is. He could've killed her after he woke up from the M99 with his money missing and went back home. He went to Deb's apartment by accident, found out where Dexter lived, boom, done

I'm not sure I understand hiding the body, though. Dexter is a master at dumping bodies/disposing of evidence/stalking/jujitsu. But as you can see from his season 2dealings with Lundy, he's not exactly a master at holding up against interrogations or any form of direct questioning about his slip ups or personal life.…

In all seriousness, Juanita's is the most rambling movie review I have ever read. It begins with an irrelevant anecdote about how he illegally purchased it in Iraq, disliked it, gave it to a disabled coworker, he hated it and threw it away. He proceeds to be "surprised" when he enables his internet access that this…
