Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
Am I the only one who finds letting a big rainbow sheet fall on top of a bunch of babies somewhat cruel? Maybe if they were a bit older it wouldn't be a big deal, but at their current age how could it not feel like they were being trapped in some way? It's been a long time since I was Harrison's age, so perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about.

Yes, I have a few friends in law enforcement and it's something they do not do. The database can't be used for personal searches.

I think what makes Quinn really dangerous to Dexter is that Dexter is so absorbed in his own world he has no idea Quinn is gunning for him. Not like Doakes.

It does seem he doesn't particularly care for him. Not sure if it is made plain why. Or maybe it's just a leery distrust.

Doakes knew something was off with Dexter and that became his obsession. Quinn is different...we know he is dirty and we know that he actually is kind of good at being a cop.
He doesn't really seem to think Dexter is something he isn't, it is merely the fact that he believes Dexter killed Rita. But he is also looking out for himself, since Dexter saw him take money from the crime scene in season 4.

This is exactly my feeling about Quinn. Additionally...

Plus scanning for matches of images is a lot more sophisticated than searching for words. I figure with a large database and the complexity of the image search it would take MUCH longer.
I know.. I know... it's only a show.

If Dexter killed Rita, Dexter's credibility goes right out the window. If he gets busted and says "But Quinn stole money from a crime scene!" it becomes the word of a crazy wife killer vs. a cop.

I'm liking the Lumen storyline so far. At first I didn't like this "stunt casting" but then last season I realized it was just that I didn't like Jimmy Smits.

I thought it was a bit odd when the the corrupt cop talking to Quinn at the end suddenly turned to the camera and lectured us on Roman History.

Yeah, I really didn't like Smits so when I heard about Lithgow I wasn't very enthusiastic. But Lithgow reminded me that those big names are often earned with talent.

I liked Smits on Dexter. I do wish they had done some things differently with the character, but overall I didn't mind season three. I know some people didn't like it much though. The bigger problem I had with season three was The Skinner storyline felt tacked on.

Count me in the group that isn't digging the Angel/LaGuerta pairing.
Things were a little better, but sort of still annoying when every season was LaGuerta banging someones husband.
