Dexter Season Two

• Oh, Lila. I don’t like you one bit. I never did.

• For whatever Dexter had in common with Rudy and Lila, you really see how different he actually is. He is a different kind of human, not completely devoid of emotion. I think that this has less to do with the code than Dexter thinks. There is no doubt that Dexter is a cold-blooded killer, that he has this intense need to kill that he cannot stop, but there’s more to him, even if he is unable to understand what that is.

• I don’t think Rudy or Lila could understand that Dexter was different from them, the same way other “normal” people can’t understand that Dexter is different, either.

• All the Freudian sh*t was a little silly and just plain transparent. From Deb with all her daddy approval issues to that dream Dexter has about saving his mom.

• Rita really turned Dexter into Paul in her own head. Its amazing how grief works.

• Dexter is going to have a really hard time finding someone who understands him and who he can also trust enough to not hurt he or the people he cares about. I’m pretty sure he’s figuring that out.

• I think if anyone got it, maybe it was Doakes, but probably not.

All in all an enjoyable and satisfying season.
