We’ve Got Your Sneak Peek of DEXTER’s Shocking Season Finale
[flashvideo filename=”video/dexter3.flv” /]
How do you know when a network such as Showtime hasn’t simply fallen victim to hyperbole when they bill Sunday’s DEXTER season finale as “One of the most thrilling endings. Ever.” May we present Exhibit “A,” also known as these just-obtained video teasers that feature Deb finally beginning to connect the dots, Arthur Mitchell confronting Dexter, and a family reunion that has us moments away from picking up the phone just to tell our Dad how much we love him. Seriously, now just imagine what Showtime’s holding back 
We Dissect DEXTER’s Fatal Flaw (Aside From the Whole Vigilante Justice Thing!)
As much as last night’s penultimate episode of DEXTER had us on the edge of our seat, we would like to take issue with one little aspect of the show. Namely, the fact that anyone who gets even remotely close to exposing the truth about Dexter’s extra-curricular activities ends up dead, and fast! Take last night’s latest victim for example, Christine, who all too-conveniently put a bullet to her brain just moments before sharing with slowly-catching-on-Deb the one piece of the puzzle that would have made everything abundantly clear to Dexter’s poor sister. Admittedly, we suppose if we’re gonna continue on the roller coaster that is DEXTER, buying into the idea that our anti-hero can’t realistically ever be caught is the price of admission. That said, knowing that the Trinity Killer is an odds on favourite to soon be joining The Ice Truck Killer, Lila and Miguel Prado six feet under sure does take a bit of the suspense out of next week’s finale. We’re just sayin’
We’ve Got Your Sneak Peek at DEXTER’s Killer Penultimate Episode
[flashvideo filename=”video/dexter.flv” /]
If you’ve been watching DEXTER’s suspense-filled fourth season, odds are fairly good that you don’t actually need a reason to get excited for this Sunday’s penultimate episode. That said, a little tease never hurst, which is we’re thrilled to present this brief glimpse into some of the neuroses that will be plaguing one Dexter Morgan come Sunday.
Blogger Beat Down: Newsweek Wants to Bury DEXTER Six Feet Under!
The subject of this week’s ‘Blogger Beat Down’ is… Newsweek writer Joshua Alston who included DEXTER in its list of “Five Failing TV Shows We Should Take Off the Respirator”
Our Take: Had this article been written last season —where Dexter learning about friendship had us learning about our PVR’s fast-forward capabilities — we’d be in total agreement. Unfortunately for the subject of this week’s ‘Blogger Beat Down,’ (and fortunately for us DEXTER fans) four episodes into the season have found ourselves rekindling our love affair with America’s favorite serial killer. Not only has saddling Dexter in suburbia with Rita, two tweens and a baby revitalized the show’s once trademark brand of dark humour, the lack of sleep facing the show’s titular character as he struggles to balance his job and family with his dark passenger has finally seemed to have caught up with him. Raising the stakes, and bringing with it two key components that have been missing from the show since Dexter took down Doakes in season two: A genuine sense of urgency and fear that Dexter might actually get caught. Plus, John Lithgow is such utter perfection as the creepy-beyond-description, seemingly amoral Trinity Killer that it more than makes up for the fact that his character’s shelf life will most likely expire by season’s end.
Review: DEXTER: THE VIDEO GAME
Combining two of our favorite addictions, theTVaddict.com has begun periodically turning off the TV in order to review TV-related iPhone Apps.
After months of hype following Marc Ecko’s Comic Con announcement to a roomful of eager fanboys (and girls), DEXTER: THE VIDEO GAME has finally arrived on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Unfortunately, much like his ubiquitous clothing line, the game itself is all style and very little substance.
What Works: DEXTER: THE VIDEO GAME is visually stunning (ranking right up there with the best looking games in the App Store), fantastic sounding (courtesy of a soundtrack ripped directly from the Showtime series), and affordably priced at $3.99 (also known as far less than our daily Starbucks addiction). Regrettably, the positives end there.
We Profile DEXTER’s Newest Serial Killer: John Lithgow
Dexter Morgan isn’t just America’s favorite serial killer, he is America’s most proficient one.
Which probably explains why, when DEXTER returns tonight for the start of its highly anticipated fourth season (9PM on Showtime, 10PM on TMN in Canada), so too will an entirely new nemesis. (RIP: The Ice Truck Killer, Miguel Prado)
Meet Arthur Mitchell, or as the press has already dubbed him: the Trinity Killer.
And just who did executive producers Clyde Phillips and Sara Colleton lure to play said killer? None-other than two-time 3rd ROCK FROM THE SUN Emmy-winner John Lithgow.
No really.
“People have almost forgotten Raising Cain, Cliffhanger, Ricochet, those types of films were my stock and trade for a while.” joked the actor at the recent DEXTER panel at San Diego Comic Con. “I loved the character of Dick Solomon and am proud of 3rd ROCK but it’s nice to be back.”
First Look Photos: DEXTER Season 4
When America’s favorite serial killer returns this September 27, Dexter Morgan will have quite the juggling act on his hands. Will he be able to find the time for his extra curricular activities between diaper duty and playing house? Is this the year Deb finally connects the dots? And just how killer a role will John Lithgow’s Trinity Killer play? Not surprisingly, nobody’s talking. “I’m the only one on set who knows what’s going to happen in the next 12 episodes and it’s a fantastic feeling,” teased Lithgow at the recent San Diego Comic Convention. “I could actually speak two sentences right now that would make this entire building explode. It’s quite thrilling. My character has fantastic surprises. I act in order to surprise people and boy will I.” But until then, these first look photos of the new season will have to do.
First Look: Daddy Dexter
Dexter Morgan family man? That’s the big challenge facing America’s favorite serial killer as he attempts to balance the pressures of fatherhood with his extra curricular activities when the series returns this September. “It’s tough, there’s lot of sleep deprivation,” revealed actor Michael C. Hall in a recent interview at Comic Con. “I think the idea was one thing, but the reality, being a suburban family man, maintaining an allegiance to his dark passenger proves to be pretty daunting and at times overwhelming.”
