"Dexter" Season 3 Premiere...

... was insanely hot. Oh boy, this is going to be a great season. What did you guys think of tonight's episode? What do you think of the new characters? How about that curve ball at the end, eh? TV's hottest show is back!




From E!Online's Watch With Kristin

* I'm hearing of a big character turn for Masuka (C.S. Lee), meaning he won't always be the glib jokester we first met.

* Look for a kinder, gentler Laguerta (Lauren Vélez), who is no longer interested in micromanaging her staff, but who is still dealing with the repercussions of the Doakes situation, and finding herself a bit lonely as a result...

* Batista (David Zayas) will be promoted to sergeant, taking Doakes' badge. According to Phillips, "He learns it's more than just a pay raise, it's a quantum leap in responsibility: You've got to send people into harm's way, you have to take people off of cases, put them on cases." And, of course, he's lookin' for love, trying to find "someone who won't hurt him" (unlike, say, his ex-wife and that British vixen who must not be named).

* Deb's breaking out! According to Clyde, "Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) is going to find love from an unlikely source—and I don't mean anything other than heterosexual. There will be a couple of candidates, and the one that she ends up with will be a wonderful surprise, hopefully not only to her, but to the audience. She's also striving for her shield this year, and she will get very involved in the A-story, what we call the 'big bad' arc of the year." [x]
