Just finished season 4 and John Lithgow was AMAZING. I knew he was a good actor but I can't believe how great a job he did.

Also, it seems to me that they want Quinn to be the next Doakes, and that doesn't fly with me. Doakes was a special kind of awesome.

Agreed. Lithgow was made for that role.

Ah! I'm not a Quinn fan personally; he'd never fill Doakes' shoes.

Cool. Am really enjoying the new season, though Lumen (WELL DONE DEXTER CREATION PEOPLE, CLEEEEVER....) was getting on my nerves for a while.

She annoys the hell out of me too (still does).

Also, if you're talking about a season/episode that's not already out in England, it's probably best to spoiler it. Just mentioning names is probably OK though, providing it doesn't give story lines away.

Ah yeah sorry :s-smilie:

Don't think it gives anything away though fortunately.

Nah, not really.

It was more directed at the thread in general.

I miss Doakes. The way he'd thunder around the station like a big muscular bulldozer, glaring at everyone, motherf***ing everyone. And to give the guy his due, he was obviously the smartest one there considering he got suspicous of Dexter so fast. It may be because he himself had a pretty dark part to his character but still - a lot of people at that station really need to pay better attention.

Completely agree with this sentiment.

Quinn has just irritated me this season and frankly, no one can be as cool as Doakes (so sad to see him go).

This season has started off quite slow and they've got a lot to do in order to top the last season - Dexter's new little helper can go both ways, thus far I'm quite interested in how things turn out, but given they've got more than half of the episodes to fill, spending them hunting down her rapists might get a bit tiresome.

Officially, my 3rd/4th favourite show to watch on Sundays/Mondays (after Mad Men, Rubicon and Boardwalk Empire).

Some people might not have seen season five yet.

I miss Doakes too. He was a really good character. I thought his last few episodes in season two were awesome.

A lot of people in Dexter's life need to pay more attention! I guess it just shows that he's good with his disguise.

It always confused me because, surely, they monitor what people look at on their computers in the police station and Dexter is contantly looking up these criminals who then disappear off the face of the planet.

I also thought that LaGuerta was chasing up Doakes' death at the end of season 2, because it seemed really clear that she didn't believe he was the Bay Harbour Butcher. But then they just kinda dropped the whole thing and had her accept it, I know LaGuerta was pretty useless at first but she should be getting better than that.

Season 5 has been deeply disappointing, especially when the first 4 were so good.

I don't think season5 is that bad, Lumen is annoying though
