Well yeah he was effective, but his motive the whole time was more for him, obviously. Not to mention the fact that he used his informant status as cover for a reign of terror.

I just want to point out that you're all missing out on opportunities to make fun of Ray Dahnavan

Uh, what is it with you people that just HATE sympathizing with drug dealers?

To be fair, for the kind of person he was portraying, that would be a witty comeback

Fear and Loathing, Once Upon a Time, Rango, Pirates.

Hippest guy ever over here.

It's his wife, man. He has to do all of that.

Scott Buck is a fucking hack.

I need a jock rock theme for Bastard Executioner.

You do realize how addictive opiates are?

The whole "zombie apocalypse" thing isn't exactly going to present very ideal conditions for…

Except there are plenty of cases and good examples where writers opted to tell AND show and the story turned out just fine.

Yeah, I've been telling my friends that it would either sound like a bad high school play or look like a collection of unrelated scenes without the narration.

I also hoped that there would be another interesting investigation into Dexter's murders in the final season with him eventually being publicly discovered, especially after like the fourth or fifth person that expressed suspicion towards him died suddenly.

Bingo. They turned interesting observations into needless exposition.

It got a little tiring by the very end, but in the beginning I actually really liked a lot of Dexter's narrations. I'll admit it was at its best when it wasn't taking itself seriously, because a lot of Dexter's observations in the books and show are actually some pretty funny dark humor.

I love this show, and I love your reviews, Alex!!!!
