I’ve praised Dexter before on the bboard, but I thought I would discuss it a little more in depth here.

While not normally into police procedurals the twisted premise to this show (that the person investigating the crimes is in fact a serial killer himself). Really, it seems as if a lot of the police work in the show is just window dressing for character studies for a collection of pretty deeply flawed people. This more than anything else has gotten me more hooked on Dexter then I have been on a TV show since the first season of LOST.

Dexter’s commentary on the situations and characters around him provide insite, but the most telling points are the things he can’t understand. He grasps the how of all the people around him and can imitate it almost perfectly (emotions, interactions, etc), he completely misses the why of it. As the show developes you start to see some vague hope of redemption for Dexter mostly in the form of his sister (a ladder climbing police woman) and his ‘girlfriend’ (in so much as Dexter can have one of those) Rita (played all wounded and angelic by Julie Benz of Angel and Buffy fame, her in a Tomb Raider costume is worth the price of admission alone IMO).

I am really looking forward to where this season is going, primarilly because I have no clue as to what direction this show is headed. Something I rarely, rarely get to say any more.

You really have to check it out if you haven’t seen it yet.

The flame war continues, I am the obvious victor though.

Annnnnnnnyyyyywaaayyyy

I am all up ons the Autumn series by David Moody, I’m on book 3, Purification and they just keep getting better. You can get the first book free here:

In other zombie news, we played through the first scenario in the Year of the Zombie series (http://www.yearofthezombie.co.uk/) and had a blast. Plus also kicked arse (it’s british) and took names. Keeping with the zombie/holloween theme we played Zombies!!! (http://www.twilightcreationsinc.com/zombies/) afterwards and I was soundly thrashed by my co-survivors.

To top off a great week I got my cold war supervillain shirt from the ever creative Jon Rosenberg of www.goats.com fame. You should be reading his comic because it is super-extra halarious.

This is a sad, but inevitable time in RevolutionSF history. I tell you this, my people, to make you secure and prepared for what lies ahead.

Due to unchecked agression and generalized weirdness along our borders I have declared a Flame War on fellow RevSF blogger Jack the Ripper.

I know, let it sink in. It will be easier over time I promise.

His unchecked silly and often halarious postings in the threads can no longer go unanswered. He threatens the very long and over thought out posts about largely unwatched tv shows and largely unread books that we all hold dear.

This I will not let stand, and you MachineNation can not let stand either.

For the very sake of our nerdity I ask you to stand with me, for this struggle will be long, and only vaugely coherent.

Good night and "Bob" help us all.

The current state of TV is a good one. There are a number of shows that are presently rocking the house. Here, currently, is my list of shows that I am following:

-Dexter. This show is nothing short of awesome; the characters, the plot material, the dialog…every aspect of this show is running on all cylinders. If you aren’t watching it you should be.

-Smallville. Erica Durance in skimpy clothes…I can’t look away.

-Supernatural. The show still has the same sense of fun from the first season with an added pathos sprinkling, very very watchable.

-LOST. I’m really liking the continuing revelation of the Others as being very fallible and somewhat divided.

-Jericho. Kansas armeggedon, how could I NOT watch?

-The Office. Still one of the most consistently funny and uncomfortable shows on TV.

-Frisky Dingo. Awesome X is pee pants funny.

-The Venture Brothers. Go Team Venture! The hiatus is going to feel like eons.

-Battlestar Galactica. Best thing on SciFi since Farscape.

You have your orders, go forth my minions..go forth and…

VIEW!!!!!!

Muaaa Haaa Haaaa!!!!!!

Ah, a new blog is born. This will be mostly my thoughts about this or that subject that I wish to babble more on about than just in the confines of the RevSF bboard. Keep your eyes peeled.
