http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/05/DEXTER----Dex-Lies-and-Videotapes.aspx As Dexter (Michael C.Hall) furthers his “recovery,” he finds his world crumbling. The walls and foundation of who he is were so carefully crafted by his adoptive father (James Remar) and molded into a set of regulations to point a pathological murderer in the “right” direction. But as the character of Harry slowly erodes, so too does the validity of Harry’s Rules in Dexter’s eyes. Did Harry love his biological mother or was he just using her, “Or me?” Dexter wonders. Did Harry make a monster to exact revenge that was beyond his own ability? And if that is the case, what will Dexter find when he gets to the end of his journey inward. Dexter’s sponsor, Lila (Jaime Murray), puts it to him thusly, “Plenty of people go through trauma without becoming addicts…Now you get to figure out who you are.” Yeah, that’s all. And if she didn’t seem so hot and bothered to get him in the sack, maybe this advice would seem more noble and true. What Dexter is discovering is that the world is more complex than simple good and evil. Both can be contained in a singular soul. The dance with Superstar Special Agent Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine) continues. This week, the Bay Harbor Butcher (Dexter) has a copycat and Lundy calls Dexter to the scene. “If you were the Bay Harbor Butcher, would you use a place like this?” Lundy asks, referencing the abandoned train yard. As the irony and paranoia drip from the screen, there is a delicious feeling that maybe it will get worse for Dexter before it gets better and yet he win still overcome in the end. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/05/DEXTER----Dex-Lies-and-Videotapes.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/05/DEXTER----Dex-Lies-and-Videotapes.aspx#2073 I AM GOING TO BUY ALL THE DVD SERIES OF THIS SHOW! brokun1 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/05/DEXTER----Dex-Lies-and-Videotapes.aspx#2073 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 11:30:39 GMT
