If no one is remotely caring about their sub plots; then you got yourself a bunch of below-average actors who do not have more than one facial expression, originality, or character. It doesn't take a producer to see that this show has weak side characters.
The racial balance thing is true for 99% of the shows and movies nowadays. I am all for it as long as the characters fit the in some way. But don't just put an array of different races in the show just so an audience from a different ethnicity doesn't get offended. "Ok everyone. We have to appeal to our Eskimo viewers as well, so next season we are going to be introducing Nantuk who has no more than two facial expressions, but he will help us appeal to the Eskimo audience and gain more Eskimo viewers!" I am not racist by any means and I am a minority on top of that. But I don't like it when a good show gets polluted for the sake of mass appeal. Btw I never said Colin Hanks was a great actor. He is better than the rest of the thrash though. I just pointed out the fact that his character has more depth than before. Who doesn't love a schizophrenic villain? :P I hope you know this. Somehow, I suspect that you do. |

I like how David Zayas (Angel) "Doesn't look like he should be working at a Police station."
Five seconds of Google action and you'll learn that he was an Officer for the NYPD after serving in the U.S Air Force. |

I think if anyone doesn't look like they should be working at a police station it's Deb.

It's a fictionalized TV program - not based on reality. It's escapism for me. I enjoy it, and don't sit there and nit-pick over it. Every season has been good for me.

It looks like the spoilers posted for the next episode are not true. On the one hand, I'm happy that the episode is no longer ruined for me. On the other hand, had they been true, it would've been a great turning point for the show. Oh well.

I like how that guy said that the show is unrealistically diverse when it takes place in fucking Miami.

It's an hour out of your boring lives. Don't make a college thesis over every ep. |

Thank you.
It's an hour out of your boring lives. Don't make a college thesis over every ep. I love this argument. It's basically someone admitting that the show is shit and that you have to lower your standards to enjoy it. |

Re: Dexter -- "Ricochet Rabbit" -- 12/04/11
lol...
Yeah I agree the writing is a little sloppier this season. But along with the loose writing comes a more entertaining show imo. I'd definitely rank it higher than last season. I've enjoyed every season but last season it felt like they were running on fumes. This season is a breath of fresh air if you ask me, even though it's a little rough around the edges. Didn't Dexter make a dangerous phone call last season as well? Not sure but of course these things aren't unprecedented. The cinematography this week even looked sub-standard by Dexter standards. |

My biggest kvetch about it is that Dexter makes a lot of really stupid, risky moves, and I'd really like to watch him be more clever about the way he goes about things. |
