    ...but then the show would suck.

    ain't that the truth. :)

    This... btw... is NOT a show I'd let my kids watch... specifically for the way it relates to kids (Dexter's earlier self) and the way Dexter is 'taught' to handle his urges (which supposedly aren't his fault either...)...

    But... if not for the fact that Dexter kills in such a sadistic manner... would he not just be another comic book super-hero like Spidey and Batman who kill ALL THE TIME?

    It's this notion of him being a sadistic 'serial killer' rather than a masked vigilante in tights (but w/the same result) that keeps me absorbed to this concept.
