The TV Addict manages to snag a photo with the elusive Dexter played by the phenomenal Michael C. Hall. |
Prior to last night’s Paley Festival Event honouring DEXTER, there was only one thought running through this TV Addict’s mind. Who would be worthy of DEXTER’S special brand of justice when the evening was all over? Would it be an audience member for asking an inane question? The moderator for clearly having zero interest or knowledge in the show? Or finally the cast themselves, as they quickly revealed that without a script in hand, they’re simply not that interesting. Only time would tell.
The event started off with a pleasant surprise — E! Online’s Kristin Veitch (Watch with Kristin) was to be the panel’s moderator. Far be it from me to offer up fashion advice, but was it really a good idea to wear white pants on a DEXTER panel? That said, Kristin quickly lived up to her glowing reputation by showing genuine enthusiasm and knowledge for all things DEXTER. Kristin — no need to sleep with one eye open tonight! Dexter’s got bigger fish to fry. More on that later.
As is custom at the Paley Festival, the night started off with an episode screening. The episode chosen was “Return to Sender” which if you’re familiar with the world of DEXTER, you’ll remember as one of the standouts from season one. In the episode, the Ice Truck Killer decides to toy with our intrepid ‘hero’, returning the body of Valerie Castillo (a recent victim of Dexters) thus almost ensuring Dexter’s true identity is revealed. ‘Return to Sender’ not only set the tone for the second half of the season, it gave each member of the cast a really nice story-line and a chance to shine.
