Got home in time to watch two programs all the way through and the last half of a third one.
I started with DEXTER. I was riveted from the first moments, especially when it was revealed who was in that trunk (not the ice truck killer as I had assumed). Yes, the brilliance of this show is that the audience is made to identify and root for a serial killer (or at least, I do), and he was in great danger of being identified last night.
Not only that, but I had a sinking dread in my heart for most of the episode as I thought the little boy was going to be Dexter's next victim in order to save himself, and I hated to see that happen. As it turned out, the joke was on me (and I suspect most viewers) once the sketch was revealed.
The cat and mouse relationship between Dexter and the ice truck killer is fascinating. I am SO glad this show has been picked up for another season.
