Last month, Arieanna told you that Vanessa Marano, who played April Nardini on Gilmore Girls, would be in several episodes of the current season of Showtime’s Dexter. Many attempts to find Vanessa on the show later, we’ve finally tracked down her character’s role in the series. Vanessa is playing Rebecca Simmons, the abused daughter of serial killer Arthur, played by John Lithgow....
"Fringe" (FOX @ 9pm) looks to be suitably weird and disgusting tonight - yay! Congress wants to talk to Bravo aka NBCUniversal about what they knew prior to the White House "gatecrasher" incident last week featuring "Real Housewives of D.C." contestants Tareq and Michaele Salahi - a question we raised last week here on the TV Junkie. --- Tuesday's season finale of "Sons...
The kids at UC Berkeley have even more reason to brag about their top-ranked stoner school today. Cal will be sending two research students abroad to play beer pong in more esteemed and invigorating settings via the awe-inspiring Fulbright program . The lucky students are: Nicholas Crawford : a postdoctoral fellow in statistics, studying "stochastic geometry and quantum many body problems"...
This week on Dexter, America’s favorite serial killer (Michael C. Hall) is scrambling to clean up the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow) fallout after the Thanksgiving dinner blunder. Dexter also discovers a chilling fourth step in Trinity’s devious killing cycle and rushes to shut Trinity down for good before an innocent child’s life is lost. Meanwhile, [...]
[SPOILERS] There's no denying the writers have softened Dexter Morgan's (Michael C. Hall) image over the past two seasons. I can't imagine the serial-killer we first met in season 1 being quite so eager to save a little boy's life, but the writers clearly want (or need) their character to evolve and grow -- partly to reflect changes in his lifestyle (his humanizing through marriage and fatherhood)...
Michelle in Toronto: I need Dexter scoop—the show is getting ridiculous (in a good way), and it's driving me crazy trying to figure out how it's all going to play out! You and me both, sister! I emailed big boss Clyde Phillips today because, frankly, I couldn't contain myself, and he just so happened to drop this little bomb regarding what will go down in the final two episodes: "It'll blow...
Quick spoilers for Dexter coming up after the jump: Going into its fourth season, Dexter has reached the point where the antagonists for its serial-killer lead are more interesting than the protagonist himself. Fortunately, it did well this season by casting John Lithgow as the Trinity Killer, probably the most compellingly creepy adversary Dexter has [...]
Showtime has provided us with two brand new clips from the upcoming Dexter episode, Lost Boys, which will air on Sunday, November 29 at 9 PM ET only on Showtime. [1] November 25, 2009 – As Dexter (Michael C. Hall) spends more time with Arthur (John Lithgow), he realizes he may be more like Arthur than [...]
Dexter is always at its best when it feels like it's headed somewhere momentous. The first few episodes of this season, particularly the ones that were showing us Trinity's methodical killing patterns, had a bit of this feeling, but since then, the season has often felt lost in the woods (and, indeed, had one episode where the characters literally were out in the woods). Last week's Thanksgiving episode...
If you, like us at Casa la Brilliant , are avid Dexter fans, last week's episode was enough to make us never want to do a "What I'm Thankful For" post ever again. For the uninitiated, the show is about a Miami blood-spatter analyst and sociopathic serial killer (played to harrowing and complex perfection by the great Michael C. Hall) who has been able to play-act at being normal and has eluded...
To paraphrase Dexter 's Trinity Killer, traditions matter because they give us a sense of history. They also teach us who we are and what's expected of us. So in celebration of that fiendish character's warped but delightfully old-fashioned worldview, I'm happy to take part in this little Thanksgiving Day tradition we have here at TV Squad. Here are a few things I'm thankful for this TV season ...
[SPOILERS] I'm not entirely sure about this episode. It certainly gave us some big developments and two surprises (although I'd guessed one last week), but it just didn't feel like a natural continuation of last week's episode. It almost felt like I'd missed an episode, as Arthur's (John Lithgow) attempted suicide felt completely brushed under the carpet, were it not for one brief scene where Dexter...
The cast enjoys Thanksgiving this week on Dexter (as best they can). Dexter (Michael C. Hall) pulls double duty on Turkey Day, eating dinner at both his home and with the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow). However, the facade of Trinity’s perfect family crumbles before Dexter’s eyes, ending with an epidsode of domestic violence and [...]
There’s a serial killer on the loose and striking in Miami. John Lithgow joins the cast as Arthur Mitchell, an unassuming middle-aged psycho masquerading as the “Trinity Killer”,
