First Two Minutes of Dexter: Season 7

Now here's something a little more up my alley. Showtime has (nearly three months early) released the first two minutes of the seventh season of Dexter. Sanitized with bleeps of course. Wouldn't want all those random YouTube users to accidentally come across a f*ck or a sh*t after all.

Honestly, I'm hoping that this shakes things up for the show. The only really good seasons of Dexter have been the first and fourth, and an argument can be made for the second. (Doakes is surely missed.) For a show about a man who moonlights as a murderer, Dexter has become surprisingly formulaic. What once led to genuine suspense has been reduced to a predictable series of outcomes. But with an endgame in sight (current plan is to end after season 8 in 2013), here's hoping that things get back to the insanity they're capable of. (And drop the Deb in love with Dexter thing. It's dumb and creepy and nobody likes it.)
