Let's talk about the first episode of Dexter. There may or may not be a thread of this else where, but, some people complain that I bump threads that are a little old so I deceided to make a new one.
First, I'm going to share my opinion with you.
Episode 1, of season 5, was terrible. Complete Trash.
Now I have to tell you why.
Basicly, the show hasn't changed. Dexter is still conflicted. Am I a human? Am I monster? do I have feelings, do I care about people. He starts to flee, then is pulled back in again. NOTHING has changed. Absolutely nothing. His character hasn't become more complicated, or evolved in any way. He simply has new circumstances, and he responds to them how? Exactly the same was as he always has. He has no idea what he's doing, and he isn't any closer to any form of resolution with his unique state of mind. But that's all it is then. Every season we get to watch dexter question himself, start to run away, then come back, to do what.. eventualy run away again. Big deal.
This show is seriously lacking in depth. IT gives the apperance of depth, but, it's just an apperance. Dexter hasn't evolved. It's the same show it always was.
