On this incredibly snowy day in Toronto, the TV Addict wanted to just take a moment and remind everybody not to miss the second season finale of DEXTER tonight at 9PM on Showtime (10PM on TMN in Canada)

Following the episode at 10PM, log on to sho.com to watch video of the cast and crew discussing what will hopefully be a shocking season finale. As well as take part in a live chat.

Also, don’t forget to return to theTVaddict.com following the episode to let us know what you thought.

It’s not often that we at theTVaddict.com go out of our way to critique a “colleague”, but after reading this morning’s ASK AUSIELLO we feel compelled to comment.

Question: Will Lundy be back next season on Dexter? Any new spoilers on whether or not his relationship with Deb continues? 

Ausiello: All I’ll say is it’s not looking good for these two — and hallelujah to that. The Deb-Lundy romance was as ill-conceived as it was clumsily executed, and it dragged down what was otherwise a solid sophomore season. There were times I felt like the show’s writers had handed their scenes off to someone at October Road to pen. Heck, the couples on The Hills have more nuanced dialogue than these two.

Did we just read that correctly? Did Ausiello seriously just compare the brilliance of DEXTER to the high school melodrama that is OCTOBER ROAD and THE HILLS?

The Deb-Lundy romance has been one of the highlights of DEXTER’s phenomenal second season. “Clumsily executed and ill-conceived” — Perhaps Ausiello is still suffering from VERONICA MARS/GILMORE GIRLS/FELICITY withdrawal? What’s he going to do when SCRUBS shuts down? Praise CAVEMEN [oh wait, too late!]

Mr. Ausiello, we at theTVaddict.com expect nothing less than a full retraction in next week’s ASK AUSIELLO. Or else you can kiss your precious Smurfs goodbye. Yes… we know people.

To paraphrase THE SIMPSON’S uber TV critic Comic Book Guy, “Worst Episode Ever!”

Okay, perhaps that’s a bit of an overstatement. But truth be told, last night’s installment of DEXTER was incredibly disappointing. Here’s why:

1. Are we seriously to believe that 160 pound Dexter Morgan could so easily subdue an armed and dangerous lethal weapon like Sgt. Doakes?

2. When Dexter asked Doakes how he found his little hiding spot, Doakes explained that he simply planted a GPS device on his boat. If that’s the case, why did Doakes waste all that time following Dexter throughout the season’s first few episodes? Why not use a GPS device?

3. The writer’s employed my television pet peeve — one that’s usually reserved for the likes of Jack Bauer on 24. When Doakes was conversing with LaGuerta on a cell phone, he wouldn’t reveal that he was secretly tracking Dexter. I mean HELLO!!! Shouldn’t the first words out of Doakes’ mouth have been, “By the way, you should probably know that Dexter Morgan is the Bay Harbour Butcher!”

4. Unless the writer’s have one helluva rabbit up their sleeve [and they very well may have one!] — Sgt. Doakes is all but dead. Which means season three of DEXTER just got far less interesting. Just ask JJ Abrams how ALIAS did without the brilliant dynamic between Sydney, SpyDaddy Jack Bristow and SpyMommy Irina Derevko.

5. Keith Carradine’s gratuitous butt shot. Was it really necessary? If we want to see old people naked, we’ll flip over to HBO’s TELL ME YOU LOVE ME.

Three months ago, this TV Addict asked you all which family member, friend or co-worker would fall victim to Dexter’s ‘special brand of justice’ this coming season. Eight episodes in, we’re still not sure. But thought why not run down the list of potential victims anyways!

Lila: Following last night’s episode, Dexter’s ex-girlfriend, arsonist and all-around ‘crazy’ undoubtedly seems like the most-worthy victim. Not only has her tits totally thrown Dexter off his game, but she stepped way over the line by breaking into Rita’s house. As Dexter said in the show’s first episode. Never mess with the kids. Translation: Sayonara Lila.

Lundy: While Lundy seems like the most intelligent foe Dexter’s ever had to face. We have a feeling that his relationship with Deb will most likely cloud his judgement when it comes to making the Bay Harbour Butcher/Dexter connection. That or the fact that the man walks around Miami all day in wool suits. To paraphrase the hilarious Masuka, “What’s the deal?”

Doakes: As much as we’re counting down the days until the inevitable no-holds-barred Dexter vs. Doakes confrontation. There’s no way the writer’s are going to give it to us this season. The dynamic between the two of them is far too interesting to extinguish so early in the show’s run. Our prediction. Come the end of the season, Doakes will find himself behind bars, convicted of the crimes that Dexter committed. Leaving season three open for Doakes’ revenge. Which we imagine will be as awesome as it sounds.
