Let's just hope that the writers remember this in the coming seasons. :P

Oh yes, you're right. Hm, I forgot that. Thanks for the reminder!

Dexter can't be Debra's half-brother.

Harry is not Dexter's biological father - Joe Driscoll is. Dexter proved that by getting a DNA test done in episode 9, season 1, which showed that Joe was his father..

Well when the shows are not shown locally (like they aren't here), I don't have access to every show I want to have a look at, so reviews do come in handy to determine if a show is worth adding to a download list. I'd given up on Heroes, but a couple of not-so-bad reviews made me grab the last couple of episodes to see how what it was like for myself. I often don't read the entire review immediately; just a star rating or something is enough to get a brief idea of the show's worth. LOL

Hmm, well. I'd rather watch the show to make that kind of judgement. I still don't get the thinking behind reading reviews to keep your "finger in". What if the reviews are all very favourable? Would you watch the show then? Even though it's likely been broadly spoiled by said reviews? I don't get it. LOL

I guess I'm sort of following Dexter in reviews only since I lost faith in the show, but still hope it recovers. I only wish showrunner Daniel Cerone hadn't left.

Well, if Dex/Rita isn't your thing, that actually takes up less screentime in S3 than it has before -- despite the wedding and pregnancy. So, might still be worth checking out? Even though you're one of the "crazies" who reads reviews of TV shows they're not even watching. LOL

Heroes 3.13 review on Thursday. You've really wet my appetite for it now. ;-)

I hate to say it, but by the end of season 2 I'd had enough of Dexter. Don't get me wrong, I think the premise was great, Michael C. Hall is fantastic as Dex, and the writing was for the most part outstanding. But for me, the whole Rita and the Kids storyline really dragged the show down for me, and I rolled my eyes whenever scenes focussed on them. For that reason I wasn't interested in following Dexter into season 3 and seeing his Dark character neutered - and married with a baby! Don't shows quickly go downhill when a baby is brought in?

(Looking forward to your review of Heroes s3e13 Duel/Dual, BTW. I found it awful.)
