Dissecting Dexter Episode 103

The new Dissecting Dexter podcast is now online, covering Season 1 Episode 3 "Popping Cherry". The title could refer to one of two things: The name of the latest Ice Truck Killer victim or the more significant fact that this episode features young Dexter's first human kill.

The episode guest stars Denise Crosby from Star Trek TNG as Nurse Death and Brad William Henke who played Bram on Lost.

As always the podcast delves into the storyline and characters with detailed commentary, although responding to feedback, I've really tried to trim the recap detail a bit but it's so hard! I've come in 5 minutes shorter than last time, so I'm heading the right way!

Next time we'll be looking at Episode 4 "Let's Give the Boy a Hand". Send in any comments, thoughts, theories, ideas, podcast feedback to dissectingdexter@gmail.com, where you could also send an mp3 voicemail if you like!

Dissecting Dexter Season 5 Briefing

In this latest podcast, we take a brief look at what we so far know about Dexter Season 5. If you've not seen season 4 yet, you will probably want to avoid and wait for the forthcoming podcast looking at Dexter Season 1 Episode 3 Popping Cherry, due in the next few days.

In the briefing, we'll be taking a look at casting news and on location reports (because season 5 has started shooting!) and speculating what it could mean for the season 5 storyline. I'm not a fan of major spoilers but if you consider this sort of information spoilery then maybe avoid but the news in the podcast does not contain anything major in the way of spoilers that you wouldn't see in a "coming soon" preview on tv.

I plan to do a season 5 preview podcast later in the summer, hopefully with a guest or two. Send in any feedback via the comment box here or email dissectingdexter@gmail.com

Dexter Season 5 production news

I've heard word that production on Dexter Season 5 is commencing this month. It's reported that they start around June 10th on location in Long Beach, CA, shooting at Dexter/Rita's house.

This is great news even though you might have guessed that they'd be filming soon, but it's exciting to think that material for season 5 is written and ready to shoot. I was excited like this last summer when they started shooting the final season of Lost!

A news story is floating around that Julia Stiles, who was in the recent Omen remake, is to play a major role in the new season.

EW's Michael Ausiello is reporting the story, saying that Stiles won't be playing a long term killer nemesis like John Lithgow did so brilliantly in season 4. Apparently Dexter won't be facing a season-long nemesis of that nature. He certainly has some more pressing personal problems to deal with. Speculation is that Stiles will play Rita's sister.

Also, Julie Benz is reported to be popping up early next season, maybe in a similar way to how Dexter's father Harry appears.
