Sexy Dexy
Warning, the below is probably the worst writing to date.
Whoever said that serial killers cannot be sexy has obviously never written a love letter to Ted Bundy or seen an episode of Showtime's latest hit series, "Dexter". I have done both.
Okay, so maybe I haven't written a letter to a serial killer, but I'm sure if we compared a profile of a women lonely enough to pen her devotion to a psycho against a profile of yours truly, there'd be enough parallelism to at least get my friends and family talking about an intervention. Where is my intervention already, people?
Regina was the one who turned me on to “Dexter”, and although her description of the plot made me wonder if it would be too gory, violent, or suspenseful against my usual TV viewing preference of the Food Network and Antiques Roadshow, I decided to give it a shot. If there is one thing I can say about Reg, it's that she has NEVER led me in the wrong direction when it comes to her movie, TV, and book reviews. Truthfully, the only time I am disappointed is when I go against her advice and end up kicking myself for not listening to her (See - “Bad Santa”).
About the show:
The details of the incident that made Dexter Morgan a serial killer have not yet been revealed. We do know something pretty bad happened to him when he was a kid (and I’m guessing it’s a lot worse than the time my dad exclaimed “hey, are you getting boobies?” when I was 11 causing me to run away), and he was raised in a loving foster home for most of his childhood.
Currently, he is a blood splatter forensic specialist working for the Miami PD. In his free time, he rids the world of evil-doers by – okay, I don’t want to get too graphic, so I’ll just say he kills them. Before he does he shoves it in their face of what they did and why he is going to kill them. TAKE THAT CREEPS! I know it sounds pretty brutal, but it’s written in such a way that you really, really, hate his victims. Possibly more than I hate taking the bus. Man I wish Dexter would kidnap and brutalize my bus.
But there is so much more to the show than who Dexter is, what he does, and why he does it. There are some great sub-plots and supporting characters.
The main character of Dexter Morgan is played by Michael C. Hall. Hall starred in another one of my favorite shows, “Six Feet Under”, as the forever struggling, gay, good son undertaker, David Fischer. Since I loved "Six Feet Under" so much, and in particular the character of David Fischer, I thought that I would find it hard to watch him in such a dramatically different role. Not so. I don’t know if it’s the new hair-do or the fact I’ve been in a dry spell for over three months, but I had no problem taking the leap from my gay best friend David to edgy, sexy-although-I-should-know-better, Dexter.
But, considering the fact I have recently admitted out loud my attraction of a street performing cowboy and Matt Roloff (the father from “Little People Big World”), I caution you not to take my word for it, but go on and check it out yourself. If you do not have Showtime, I’m sure it will be out on DVD soon enough.

Bella and Elsie are people, I changed their real names to their dogs' names so they don't get freaked out about being written about in the blog. But I'm sure everyone can figure out who they are so I better watch what I say about them.
