Spock and Dexter. I look forward to seeing that one too.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-27930613202805976642011-04-14T18:16:26.353-04:002011-04-14T18:16:26.353-04:00Hi Sci-Fi Fanatic,

I'm also an admirer of The Walking Dead, and still have to acquaint myself with True Blood, but Dexter's got the goods. I've watched the first five seasons of the show and have rarely, if ever been disappointed. I also agree with you about Hall's performance. He's stellar in the role.<br /><br />I wonder if we're both drawn to the series because of the echoes we detect in it; Dexter as superhero; Dexter as Spock. Or, if shows like Star Trek have just conditioned us to like these musings -- even the dark ones -- about the nature of the human race.<br /><br />All my best,<br />JohnJohn Kenneth Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629979615332893780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-80240482064311143022011-04-14T12:15:45.384-04:002011-04-14T12:15:45.384-04:00By the way, I wonder how much my love for that ser...By the way, I wonder how much my love for that series stands on the perfomance of Michael C. Hall and the surrounding cast.<br /><br />I'm sure it begins and ends with the writing, but Hall is perfect as Dexter. One of the best castings ever for television.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-52829254706186648142011-04-14T12:12:27.374-04:002011-04-14T12:12:27.374-04:00John

I love the series and I certainly could see why your idea works beautifully or why the question of Dexter as a hero is fascinating.<br /><br />It's an amazing series. I've watched The Walking Dead, True Blood Season 1 and Dexter is indeed my favorite show hands down. <br /><br />It's a killer series.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.com
