Dexter, Season 5 Trailer

Postby Matt on Mon Jul 26, 2010 1:54 am

(major spoilers for anyone who hasn't been following the show, be forewarned)

What do you guys think? can season 5 keep the show strong, or are they going to inevitably jump the shark at some point?



best to click through to watch the trailer in 720p.

Holy fuck!

Solely based on what I've just seen, I expect this to be the greatest thing to ever grace my screen. For the first time ever, Dexter actually looks like a terrifying human being. How he's going to unfuck himself from this situation, well... I can't wait!

Side note, glad to see Quinn back. I love that guy, he's a neat take on a detective character on a show. I just rewatched Season 3 recently and his character totally works for me. Still, for a detective, nothing will ever top Dutch from The Shield.

Also, I need to say this before I forget - I like how Season 5 is a direct continuation from Season 4. I love long story arcs, because it keeps me in the game and helps things with the tension that's already been built-up. Shows that change or time-lapse too much between seasons always rubs me the wrong way. (24 is the worst offender).

Doesn't part of it feel like a rehash of the Doakes storyline, though?

Yeah, AKA the greatest thing ever? I'll take it! I'm fine with re-hashes of things I like. I'm happy at least they're making this show still instead of some other exes budgeting for a dancing show.

maybe I'm cynical, or maybe I just don't want to get my hopes up only to have them dashed, but I worry a little about this season. Also, in the trailer, what's-her-name, who plays Astor, didn't exactly give an inspiring performance. Though I don't know if you could get a kid to give the kind of nuanced, pained performance I'd be looking for, so maybe that's not fair.

I'm psyched about the Julia Stiles character. This should all be a good rehash of season 2!

The question still remains - why does Dexter listen to his father, who committed suicide? No one who commits suicide has any say in the value of life and protecting yourself/family.

Because beneath everything he's a total fucking nut job, no less insane than the Vietnam Vets being removed from Wal-Mart parking lots for exposing themselves. That's the beauty of it.

ha, that could be part of it. Am I the only one who googled "vietnam vets expose themselves at wal-mart" to see if that was a real story? I hadn't heard about it on the news...
