This just in: Dexter has been renewed for two more seasons.
And I'm psyched.
I've always been a fan the show, of course, but I love where they are taking it this season. Dex has come so far in the last couple of seasons- from strictly abiding to his code.... to now, questioning whether he even has to follow it or not.
I love the addition of his brother to his inner monologue. I always thought his dad was kind of annoying in the role... but his brother brings something new to the table. Where Dexter is trying to be good and do the right thing, his brother is acting like a devil on his shoulder. He literally is Dexter's dark passenger.
That being said.... the car scenes in Nebraska were stupid.

Grey's Anatomy Mid-Season Finale. Underwhelming.
I had read last week that the mid-season finale of Grey's Anatomy was going to make me bawl my eyes out....
[SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!]
Underwhelmed.
Is the Zola stuff really all over? What was the point? I felt like Meredith fell into the mommy role way too quickly... She had the baby like one day and was obsessed? And heartbroken over her being taken away? I don't know... it was weird. Was Zola just a vehicle for them to say, 'Hey, look. Meredith grew up.'?
Do you care about Scott Foley? I really, really liked him on the show and am sad to see him go.... but I don't think it is that sad. I don't think it warranted the response the other docs were giving it - especially usually cold-hearted, level-headed Christina. Why was she crying like that? That was like how she cried when she broke down on the fishing trip with Derrick. That was serious stuff. She barely even knows this guy.
And now what's the point for Teddy? They are just manufacturing plots for her. She was brought on to cause problems for Owen and Christina.... and then she was useless.... and now she is useless again. Sigh.
You tricked me ABC! I know (from LOST) that the networks are the ones that control the previews, but come on. You really made it look like something happened to Meredith. And yet, nothing happened to Meredith.
... Speaking of. A bunch of bodies on the road? That was kind of weird/creepy/alien invasion looking. And is it really a big deal? Another ambulance was on the way, according to Avery. Those people will be saved if they aren't already dead. If anything, they are MORE lucky than if they had just been in an accident. The ambulance was already on the way there before anything even happened!

Glee: The First Time
For once, I actually watched Glee the night it was on.... Okay, lie. I watched the second half of it this morning, but whatever.
Just a couple thoughts:
1. Does that count as one of Damien's seven episodes? Because a shout out from Coach Beiste about his accent doesn't seem like much to me...
2. I feel like this episode was too much. You obviously had the BIG storyline about sex - which, can someone please point out that we already had this episode/conversation last season? But then you add in Artie's direction of the musical; Coach Beiste's romance; Finn's football/life drama; the new Warbler liking Blaine.... I just feel like those 'side' stories deserved more time. Maybe even their own episodes. Those were big moments for the characters.... but they were overshadowed by all the 'first time' mumbo jumbo.
3. And sort of playing off that... I wish we had met the new Warbler earlier. Sort of had some build up, more flirtation between the two for Kurt to be jealous of. What's going to happen to him know? Is he still on the show?
4. Kerofsky! So glad to see him back. I really liked that scene. But did we know he transferred? I think I missed that...
5. And on Glee Chat, they asked: Do you believe Blaine and Kurt? Not anymore. I never really saw the passion, the attraction. But then when we see Blaine and the new Warbler... wowza. (A) He's hot, and (B) Blaine knows it.

For a Living
Never thought I'd like a silly car commercial so much (especially one that doesn't involve any Kanye playing...) but I'm just in love with this idea. 'For those who live life for a living.'
