Nothing unique about Jesse's voice. It has that "exquisite" quality like Javier's, but it is strangely unmoving. I couldn't listen to him for more than one song at a sitting without getting annoyed.

Gotta explain that one to me. I'm thick.

The writers always deserve a large portion of the blame.

Got my NYer. Lo and behold, a review of the series up to now. The last sentence summed things up nicely: "The better Dexter becomes, the worse "Dexter" may become." 
(Although the "may" part is a little generous, as the show blows a new chunk onto the pile every time concerned Daddy Dex opens his mouth.)

No need to qualify it: it is the greatest series finale ever, hands down.

MCH on this very episode: http://www.aoltv.com/2011/1…
I remember seeing him getting interviewed a couple of years ago, and he was so passionate about his character and the show. Now, it looks like he feels kinda meh, it's a living. Interesting that he's good with the incest angle. Frankly, if it means he'll be…

Over the years, I've grown to accept the awesome power of Dexter's Henley of Invisibility. He can't be detected by security cameras no matter what he does out in public; okay, fine. But Travis's speed painting ability was pretty out there, as was Quinn's ability to to put out a raging fire with a few waves of his…

What "active investigation"? It's a TV show. And in a show about a serial-killer who kills serial killers, I'm looking more for engrossing flights of fictional fancy than prosaic real-world constraints pushing the narrative. I want to be entertained, thanks.  In fact, I think the only reason DEXTER is boring today is…

His acting is masterly, no joke. He makes a preposterous premise and really crap writing come insanely alive. That said, don't look for proof in the worst episodes. Check out season one and the first 9 episodes of season 2.

Up until this episode, I thought he didn't have a shred of talent and a weirdly expansive face besides, but he was creepily watchable tonight. Kinda like, um, DEXTER used to be.

Make that NON-adventures and I'll co-sign. The writers got too arrogant and lazy. Instead of exploring moral ambiguity (which would've required actual creativity), they went for cutesy concepts: what if Dexter gets married? what if he has a son? It was supposed to be edgy but it was snore-poriffic.

I'd also like to know why the intern appears to be about 37 years old.

First 4? You're being *way* too generous. This show has been pretty horrible since the Doakes debacle. Hall's acting has had us all bamboozled over the years, but lately, even his skill hasn't been enough to cover up the stank of piss-poor writing. I feel sorry for MCH, stuck with this shit for another two years.…

Incredibly bad. I'm still gasping.

Guess so.
