BEST PLACE TO DOWNLOAD DEXTER IS VEOH.COM  ...SEARCH SOCIOPATH ..THE EPISODES ARE AMAZING QUALITY!

[hooded claw]

Bit pissed off at how far ahead everyone else seems on this, from America and from downloading!

Loving it so far - up to date on the FX ones in the UK, and felt it's really warming up nicely. Also not as predictable so far as I was expecting.

But what's the point of having a good tv and speaker set-up, only to watch everything on a small laptop?

Also, just means everyone is at different stages of their viewing. At least people are cottoning on to spoiler tags.

Get yourself a DVD player that can do Divx/Xvid and then you can stick the file on disk or USB stick and watch it on the telly

That is what I need to do......

However looking to get a 32" HDTV will the pictures still look good viewing from a USB Stick?

Download your files in HD

They should do yeah, we don't have a HDTV so I can't say for sure, but a few of the usual suspect nerdy folk round here will know for sure.

If you find the USB is slow (I've read some have found this on fast paced action scenes), can always just stick them on a DVD-RW.

Your Mac's got a  decent sized screen, or d/l and burn to DVD. Like you've done with other stuff 

[voronin_is_ghod]

christ i love divx

[Emo Phillips]

Obviously I need to get into the whole DIVX thing. I tried once but all the links seemed to have expired so I gave up...

Just makes discussions like this less fun as everyone's at different stages of their viewing, and kills 'water cooler moments'.

[rednile]

Just started watching Dexter on DVD  just finished the 2nd episode and all i can say is its Brilliant ,anyone who hasn't seen it yet get it watched .

[gritsvanilla]

Spoiler

After a fairly shaky start Dexter has just got better and better. Knew Debs' boyfriend was the ice truck killer as soon as i laid eyes on him though.

[close]

[hooded claw]

The butler did it...

Agree with that, it certainly wasn't a classic from the get go. It really hits its stride about 3/4 of the way through, to these eyes. The characters tended to be painted with far too broad strokes, and the black cop is terrible. And yes, the big 'reveal' wasn't exactly a shock was it? It could do with  alittle more subtlety.




--------- slight edit ---------

*ahem*

[Emo Phillips]

The butler did it...

Me too.





As for the show, finished the first series by viewing the last two episodes as DIVX files online. Excellent stuff. A little far-fetched in places, but so well written, acted and directed it was that much more believable.

Also, good to see Tony Goldwyn directing and starring in one episode, as the psychiatrist. He's directed a few good films, and been in plenty of films as an actor.

*ahem*

[hooded claw]

Me too.

That's been bugging me since I first saw him. Good work E. Don't agree on the acting as an ensemble, though. Few pretty stilted performances and poorly scripted characters, like Angry Black Cop Man and Tough Latina With A Heart Of Gold Woman.

I think there's a slight sense of heightened reality to the show, and some of the characters are larger than life, and that kinda helps in some way. It has some broad strokes. So maybe it's this heightened reality that makes the slightly ludicrous overall storyline of S1 more believable. Were it more gritty and realistic, it would seem silly. But Michael C Hall's brilliance holds it all together.

But LaGuerta (?) bugs me, although I guess it shows the sad political actions of those looking to get ahead. Not as bothered by Doakes.

[¡Basta Ya!]

Nice one i really wanted to know that 

Ouch. Might want to PM a mod to clean this thread up for the poor bastards that are going to read it

[Barney_Rubble]

OK I've edited the topic title, and put that little titbit above under a spoiler tag, and removed a couple of other references.

Aplogies if I've spoiled it for anyone, I know this thread (and others) was annoying me with discussions ahead of the broadcasts.

However, was sure the stuff being discussed had already been shown on FX in the UK, and long before in the US, which seemed to make it fair game to discuss?

[jackh]

Watching this for the first time now...

...might need to download a few of these to get into it...

[gritsvanilla]

Apologies from me too, a little short sighted of me to think everybody else had either seen it in the US or here in the UK on FX, thanks to the mods for cleaning up my mistakes ala Dexter.

[Walshy7]

2nd season starts on sunday in u.s, and already available to dload on mininova somehow. think i will be doing that tonight.

The first two episodes have been released for months now. Wish i had of waited though.

[cuppatea]

Great show. Pisses all over the likes of Heroes and Prison Break.

[¡Basta Ya!]

Not even close to Heroes, better than Prison Break though.

[cuppatea]

Heroes started quite well, but by the end of the first series, I was sorry for having watched it (and a little embarassed for having ever enjoyed it).

[Bob Loblaw]

Definitely a better show than Heroes. So different though.

[Walshy7]

Why do you wish you waited?

[Bob Loblaw]

Why do you wish you waited?

Cause it's been months since I've seen em. Hell of a long time to wait like!! They were brilliant by the way.

[Emo Phillips]

Heroes started quite well, but by the end of the first series, I was sorry for having watched it (and a little embarassed for having ever enjoyed it).

Dexter is better than Heroes, no mistake. I'd really enjoyed Heroes up to about the 9th episode of series one, but have felt all along that it was going to tail off, which appears to be happening.

I may go on to enjoy the rest, but it seems an unsustainable concept. Far-fetched stuff can only work for so long, and then it starts to become tiresome.

I'll reserve judgement. But having seen all of Dexter, Heroes will have to go some to match the drama and quality.

[Texas Reds Fan]

Can't wait for the next season. The first season I started watching halfway through an episode and needless to say was shocked as hell with his whole routine at the end of the episode.

I was relating to Dexter on so many levels until his true nature became apparent.

[¡Basta Ya!]

I think that is way way off, imo. I know it's highly subjective but Heroes really kept a consistent level of awesomeness. Dexter is good but nowhere even close and quite predictable.

Ah well... all good fun.

[Henry Chinaski]

How's Michael C. Hall doing?

[Lee1-6Liv]

Downloaded the first 2 episodes from series 2 and they are excellenty

[Annoyed Grunt]

I was relating to Dexter on so many levels until his true nature became apparent.

The only time to worry is when you relate to him, full stop....well, that's what me and my Dark Passenger think anyway.
