Dexter - Sneak Peeks 5x02 "Bandit" Preview/Synopsis - 'Welcome Home,' 'Creature of the Night' Eulogy for Rita (9.26.10)

 
This Deb and Quinn hookup evokes too much of the Quinn -Trinity Killer's daughter hook-up of last season. We know he's after her brother. She's got to know the same. Will it then be a matter of them using one another for separate agendas? I hate the Quinn character as well as his big-ass gold chain, spray-tan, showy pinky ring and possible cheek implants (actor, not character). I was discussing this and the quick and dirty way of taking care of Quinn would be for Dexter to do a Doakes on him but I don't think so. I'd like to see Quinn gone--but gone to prison maybe--because the mystery of his checkered past has not been fleshed out--and Dexter is gonna need ammunition.

 

So Dexter premiered to record high ratings. Super! With a total audience of 2.34 million on Sunday Sept 26 Dexter's premiere was the highest since (gulp) The Outer Limits--which sounds sort of lame, doesn't it? Not lame-sounding at all is the fact that Dexter Season 5, Episode 1 the most watched Showtime broadcast of 2010!

There’s no denying that Michael C. Hall has a certain Dex appeal.

Case in point: ‘Dexter’s Season 5 opener carved out an audience of 2.34 million total viewers on Sunday night, making it Showtime’s most watched season premiere in 15 years (since ‘The Outer Limits‘).

The episode’s initial 9 pm airing drew 1.77 million viewers, while an 11 o’clock encore added another 575K.

The killer outing also represents a 22 percent increase from ‘Dexter’s previous season premiere night, and the most watched Showtime broadcast of 2010.

Dexter investigates a blood stain he discovers in his rented moving van.

So the consensus is that Dexter is back with a vengeance ratings-wise but at least one "fan" describes the Season 5 premiere as "depressing." (see just below) To this person I recommend switching off the TV and getting some real-life experience because you obviously have not got one frakkin' clue. Guy's wife gets murdered = sad episode. Seriously. You cannot be old enough to watch Dexter and have such a stunted viewpoint. But maybe I spoke too fast. E!Online also describes episode 2 as "a bit slow -paced." Wow. Yeah? Everyone doesn't just go straight back to "normal?! Make you a bet. Dexter will be the first to get back to business as usual.

Q:  Dexter going to be moping the whole season? The premiere was depressing.
A: No! Dexter follows a blood trail (literally) to a fellow serial killer, and you know nothing puts a spring in Dexter's step like a good ol' hunting party. Episode two is also a bit slow-paced, but episode three starts to feel like the Dexter of yesterseason. The table, the plastic wrap and the knives are back in no time.
