Every review of the show I'm reading so far seems to take it as a given that one of the realities is a dream and the other's real. Is it really that set in stone? While watching just the pilot it seemed like it's possible (and best explanation) that he was switching between two real worlds.

I was thinking about 30 Rock and P&R's character development while watching this episode. To me, 30 Rock feels more normal. People don't really change that much in real life, you just get to know more about them and feel more comfortable with them. And people often return to old habits, even after making improvements…

Now it all makes sense. I thought it was just the long break that made everyone look different, especially Jack. The framing is definitely off, it's like everyone's hitting the top edge of the screen. The camera's always too low.

My only complaint has to do with Winston. That actor doesn't have very good chemistry with the cast and his character is such a non-character. I find it a huge waste of time whenever he's on screen. He was *fine* in this episode, but only fine.

The "too saccharine" aspect has been bothering me all season, especially with Rob Lowe's 1-note character dialing that up 1000 notches, and the stuff about loving her town that Leslie has been forced to say because she's running for office (there was one line in the Paul Rudd episode I wish I wrote down, it made me…

You didn't think it was because she kept seeing people's deaths that she acted like that? Sort of channeling Hayley Joel Osmund from Sixth Sense. Plus the fact that she saw that she was about to die… Sometimes that kind of stuff makes you numb. I thought the girl did a good job overall.

But is the cut on the face something they actually noticed in the show? Wasn't the MO just that the body parts were cut up into pieces?

Yeah and in this season it just seemed like he knew so much more that it would have made sense to share with the police department, and so much that he could have told without anyone suspecting anything (especially since the show forgot he was just a blood spatter analyst? and is not required to be the first person to…

Something I haven't seen talked about yet: almost every season (if not every season?) of Dexter, he secretly kills the Big Bad after Miami Metro can't do it themselves. This has worked a few times, but by season 6 it really makes Dexter seem like an asshole. And now that his sister is lieutenant, it seems almost…

Ha, I forgot that Tom Hanks was in Da Vinci Code, and Colin Hanks was in this "Da Vinci Code" season of Dexter. They could have played with that more.

With the way this season went, I found myself wishing that Deb would never find out about Dexter, because I don't trust the writers to do a good job with it anymore. At this point my only hope is that this will be all we'll see of Deb thinking she loves Dexter in that way. Why does she love him all of a sudden? She…

Not only is the therapist planting thoughts into Deb's mind, but she's also planting thoughts into the audience's mind. Dexter has never been "the perfect guy"! He's just been the only one she's had so she's dealt with his faults (i.e. being a completely inhuman, unemotional, cold person). Why are people believing…

The weird thing is that the beginning of the therapy sessions started with Deb complaining that Dexter's so distant (and she's often been annoyed about him being so unemotional and distant, it was like she didn't know him). Then in one episode they try to make us think he's the best brother she could ever have, always…

But Travis works as an art restorer. His job is very similar to being a detective. You have to figure things out based on very little clues, know chemistry really well, know history really well and how to track things down… In a way he really is a good parallel to Dexter (which they keep trying to establish with the…

My main problem with Charlotte's music is that I could easily imagine her voice being swapped out for Beck's and them being Beck songs. Sometimes I get flashbacks to Sea Change (the only album of his I've listened to a lot). I'm not sure if this is normal/expected since they are produced by him, but to me it just…

Don't you think 6 episodes into a show should be enough for you to have figured Winston out? I always feel like the actor doesn't belong and I'm not sure if it was in the review or the comments, but I actually forgot that Jessie's supposed to be the one least closest to these people because they've known Winston a lot…

95% of the time that Winston's on screen he's just making a weird face like he's about to take a dump. I wish the show would flesh out his character more before focusing on people like CeCe and introducing other characters. It's just getting weird that he's one of the roommates but almost never does anything except…

To me it seemed more like the Power Rangers than an action movie. Crazy whiplash every time someone moved.

The previous seasons matter because we are able to understand things from Peter's point of view and how things have become different without his presence there. None of this season would really matter if we didn't have the previous ones to compare it to, just like how we had our world to compare the second universe to.

Sometimes the show looses me when Dexter doesn't present information to the rest of the police department. Isn't the whole point of his killing to set right what the police department couldn't? It makes sense when he doesn't tell them about information he got only by breaking into houses, like that stray bullet, based…
