While I do love it when "Dexter" picks up a plot line and lets it gather momentum quickly, there's a big difference between how it was handled on "Dex Takes a Holiday," in which we learned why police Officer Zoey...
If vampires, mysteries and romance are your thing, you can do much worse than Blood Ties, the supernatural drama that aired on Lifetime in 2007. The second season collection contains the final nine episodes on three DVDs. Blood Ties stars Christina Cox as Vicki Nelson, a former cop turned private investigator. Her partner is a hunky, [...]
I tuned in for the third episode of Defying Gravity, but there was probably less of interest than the already disappointing first two episodes. For that reason, I won't be blogging about each episode every week. For me, the show has a largely sickly tone when it comes to the relationships between its characters, I hate the mawkish voice-overs by Ron Livingstone's character, the flashbacks to pre-mission...
[SPOILERS] Space is a broad canvas that many different artists have painted on, offering us their individual perspectives -- from George Lucas' fairy tale fantasy of Star Wars, through Gene Roddenbery's human commentary in the pioneering Star Trek, Ronald D. Moore's allegorical Battlestar Galactica, and Stanley Kubrick numinous sci-fi epic 2001: A Space Odyssey -- to name just four bright stars in...
[SPOILERS] As the title suggests, the main plot of "Dex Takes A Holiday" was something entirely unrelated to the season at large, as Dexter (Michael C. Hall) finds respite from marital life when Rita (Julie Benz) and the kids leave town to attend a wedding. Embracing his few days alone (finally!), Dex uses the time to investigate Zoey Kruger (Christina Cox), a cop whom he suspects murdered...
Filed under: OpEd , Dexter , Episode Reviews , Reality-Free (S04E04) - "You're the one who wanted a challenge ... and now you've batted the beehive." - Harry to Dexter That quote sums up this season in a blood spattered nutshell and really all of good television, for that matter. How do you reinvent a show that works without completely reinventing the wheel on which it got there? In Dexter...
Dexter Morgan has been weary from juggling fatherhood and work but it's nothing that a new murder won't fix. Just thinking about his next victim makes him feel recharged already and it all happens in perfect time as Rita takes the kids out of town for the weekend in "Dex Takes A Holiday."

If you've been following Christina Cox's television series, Defying Gravity, you'll know that it's a very good TV series. Sadly, however, the network gave it no attention and let it slip away into nothingness. You'll also recognize Christina from Stargate Atlantis. She's awesome.

Recommended The Season: It seems like vampires lurk back into the pop culture spotlight every ten years or so, as they cropped up for a stretch in the '90s with the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" story arc and, most recently, with both the Twilight phenomenon and HBO's adaptation of the Sookie Stackhouse novels, "True Blood". One series that'll likely remain overshadowed during this...
