Homicide. Great show at the time.

That also puts The Wire in the Tommy Westphall Universe.

So, "Dexter" fans, is there anyone who isn't extremely annoyed every time Rita starts talking? I can't tell if it's the actress or that they're trying to make her annoying on purpose as a way of extending the flip-flopped morality that lets you root for Dexter in the first place.

I'd vote for "they're making her that way on purpose" as his mirror image character, but it doesn't bother me. It doesn't feel forced or anything given the way they've developed her character and her plotlines.

I'm 200 times more annoyed by Deb.

I love Rita because she's super hot. On that show, I don't like Angel. He's too earnest and his lisp bothers me. I freakin love Lundy though. I'm glad they brought him back.

He's gotta live. There has to be some kind of Dexter/Lundy confrontation where Lundy figures him out and Dexter is forced to either let him catch him or protect himself by going outside the code to kill a good person.
