Why don't you leave us a little bit of a rating if you'd be so kind. And let's hop into our patron questions of the day. Here we go. I am, oh, my brain is still reeling. I have real quick before we hop into the question, how are you feeling?

Starting point is 00:03:13 Those were some incredible episodes. Again, this show just does such a great job of really throwing a bunch of twists and turns. But I really like the, a lot of the themes so far in this season two of them that I've picked up on so far acceptance and moving on kind of like with deb and especially dexter with their father yeah and i really again we've talked about a little bit in the last review about how they are utilizing harry in this way in his subconscious like yes we've used him in the past uh with flashbacks on how his upbringing and kind of like you know not only teaching Dexter, but just on how to circumnavigate, like, how to scratch that itch,

Starting point is 00:04:01 if you will, but also, too, I like, if Harry were here, this is how he would talk to him and still teaching him lessons even when he's not here. I think that's a really smart way to utilize him. And I think, you know, for Deb, like, she's dealing with a lot of issues, too, like on, and things like I can resonate with. Now, granted, my father has been the best. at in the world. He's literally all my baseball.

Starting point is 00:04:26 And I mentioned this because literally a parallel for Deb. She mentions how her father was so absent in her life. And we know why. He was taken care of Texter. And I get it. At the same point, like, my father was at all my baseball games. He did everything for me. Now, grandparents, I get it.

Starting point is 00:04:45 It's a different tier of level of love that we have in our family. But I can tell you right now, and this is still a very sore spot for me, my grandparents just really quickly I'll get into this but my grandparents went to all my younger sister and all my older brother's soccer games went to every single one they went to a lot of my other cousins games

Starting point is 00:05:04 they went to zero of my baseball games and yeah it's okay but it really was a sore spot for me I'm like if they didn't go to any of the games for any of the other like it still would have been it you wouldn't feel singled out it still would have been a little bit sort of like I wish they would come but when you see

Starting point is 00:05:20 other kids grandparents like embracing and love and supporting, I'm like, be nice to come to some, but yeah, so that was always a definitely a sore spot. So I really do understand where Deb's coming from. Granted, again, father and grandparents, totally a little bit different, but I do understand where she's coming from and why she feels the way she's feeling, but really good episodes. Again, the interactions between Miguel and Dexter, fantastic, very twisted, lots of different ways you can interpret it,

Starting point is 00:05:57 but I think the biggest thing is it's fascinating to watch the more we learn about Miguel. Like, he's, again, not... I mean, we don't know if he's the Skinner or if Quinn's the Skinner. I don't really know. I think the show's doing a good job of keeping that vague and open like you can interpret it until we reveal it. but there's a very dark side too Miguel we know that like the fact that he's and I get it like if you if I'm not able to to put someone away with the system let someone else do what I couldn't do but there's something more sinister about Miguel as much as I love his interactions and the bro friendship that he and and Dexter do have and it's phenomenal and I hope it never ends like also too like he's like I feel like he's making Dexter kind of break his his

Starting point is 00:06:44 code a little bit because I didn't granted I flexing the code because like look I despise and hate that guy that was on the table but I don't I didn't know the full story because Dexter didn't scope him out and do everything he was supposed to do you know in order to check out to make sure he fits the code

Starting point is 00:07:00 so I mean it seemed like he had because he said like this guy was on my list of like with the kids and all that you know my Moby Dick list of white whales you know like but I feel like the guy was trying to say something I don't know, but either way, like, I feel like he's a bad, he could be a very,

Starting point is 00:07:20 kind of like with Lylan season two, he could be an extremely bad influence on Dexter. You know what I mean? So, I think that's yet to, you know, still to be seen. But either way, I love their bromance. It's a lot of fun. And I'm going to be sad if and when it does end, especially when he finds out about his brother, what happens. But what about you? How are you feeling?

Starting point is 00:07:40 I'm feeling good. I'm feeling just charged up on, uh, the vibe of, I don't know, whenever we jump into this show, it's always a nice, literal, and there's a question about this, so we'll hop into the questions in a second, but yeah, it's always nice to kind of feel like

Starting point is 00:07:56 you've gone somewhere else for the day, and because, you know, just the setting is so vivid and everything like that, you know, you get the fun of, you know, dipping your head into this part of the world, the country, you know, this tone and flavor, but also, you know, all the tension and all of the suspense and all of the suspense

Starting point is 00:08:14 and all of the, again, points of no return being crossed. And, yeah, I'm very much enjoying the back and forth with Miguel Prado. And just I'm tense about it because, yeah, I mean, the more comfortable Dexter gets in this mode, the less comfortable I get. And also, you know, this is, you know, uncharted territory a little bit. Dexter is in conversation with Harry and his code now and is adapting it to his own understanding in the present and his own needs, and I am still worried about what's going to happen in light of that. But, yeah, this has been a fascinating turn, and I am very, we're halfway through now.

Starting point is 00:08:55 This is six out of 12. That was a halfway point, I feel like. I know, it's weird. Like, watching forward time is quick, but somehow still, even moving at half the speed, we still feel like we're blowing through these. But, yeah, yeah, I am definitely tense, and let's jump into some cool. Questions and flesh out our thoughts a little bit more. It's Anna Geistler. Thank you so much for chiming in with the question.

Starting point is 00:09:24 How do you feel for the series is progressing? And do you have any ideas rumbling around for what might happen in future seasons, knowing the format of the show? Also, who is your favorite character going into season three now? Still doaks. I love jokes. Surprise, my life. I would never not be do.

Starting point is 00:09:44 Yeah, I know. R-I-P dokes. Vince is really growing on me, too. I mean, that whole segment where he really did feel hurt and needed to be validated and how he got his feelings hurt and the way he did, like, he's a real constant. I really did. I know I made a couple of jokes about it in the last season about, you know, the rinse and repeat thing with how he makes a lot of sexual innuendos and all that.

Starting point is 00:10:08 But, like, seeing him not do any of that and also seeing the versatility and, C.S. League, I believe the actor's name is. Kim Song-Young, who we played. He's like, now I see why he became Kim Sung-young. It's all these people who hurt his feelings. But yeah, no, it's all canon. Yes, exactly. But, yeah, seeing, again, seeing that versatility,

Starting point is 00:10:35 and I think it was important to show, like, why we love this character so much. and just, like, you know, at the end of the day, like, it's important to love the people we work with, and I think that's why I love working here so much. I have the best crew that I could possibly ask for, and that's why I'm such a happy person, you know what I mean? Because, so I could resonate so much with that.

Starting point is 00:10:59 It's hard to pick, a favorite character, there's so many, but in season three right now, I'd say, again, he's not probably, I know it's going to turn out he's really bad, probably, but I really love Miguel Prado. He's a very well-written character. How do I feel the series is progressing and do I have any ideas for what might happen? This show throws too many curveballs

Starting point is 00:11:21 for me to even make a prediction, so I have no freaking clue. Dexter's going to start up a blood spatter academy. He's going to start up, you know, a vigilante school. I really, I have no idea. The writers do such a good job of being so unpredictable. I could never guess,

Starting point is 00:11:40 but the show is doing a phenomenal job progressing. Excuse me. I think every season really does, has its own tail. And I've loved each one. I mean, season one, you got Biny and the ice truck killer. I'm saying it's slow, like, not to, you know, make fun of people for making fun of me. It's because I actually don't want to say it wrong. Because if I say it fast, I will say ice cream drug.

Starting point is 00:12:05 It's all engagement. Yeah, exactly. But no, the ice truck killer, I thought that was a very, engaging storyline with the twist so I thought that was awesome and then season two with Lila the bad influence she was on him but he wanted to be seen and because of the facade that he has to create every day

Starting point is 00:12:20 of his life and like he feels like no one really truly knows who he is and then again same thing here with Miguel like I feel like too what's interesting really quickly and then I'll let you answer because I know I've been going on a tangent here Donald. In season one he had to literally kill his brother

Starting point is 00:12:35 he had no choice there right because he was going to take out his sister and I feel like what's interesting here is he killed Oscar Prado, and he kind of got a brother in return here with Miguel. It's kind of like taking place of the brother he lost to in Viney, and now he's got this brother that's replacing him, but he knows the real him. I know he said he's not ready to share everything yet about him,

Starting point is 00:12:59 but he kind of still does know who the real Dexter is. And so the fact that he doesn't have to hide, like almost everything with him, Like, it's kind of a relief, kind of a, you know, off his shoulders. Because I can only imagine when you're lying to everyone about everything you do. Every day, it's a lot of stress, probably on one. So I think that is, like, I think that's one of the more fascinating parts of each season watching when Dexter can actually be as on itself with someone. What about you?

Starting point is 00:13:30 Yeah. Goodness. I really enjoying how the series is progressing. And in terms of ideas of what future seasons might bring, I guess, yeah, I'm used to the format of having a prominent guest star, you know, for each season. And one of the very few things I knew about this coming into the show is that there is a particular guest actor who for years and years I have heard people adore the arc of. So I'm excited to get to that person. Oh, I had no idea who you're talking about. I don't want to.

Starting point is 00:14:05 But yeah, I mean, I'm, I love just the, you know, the thing that the show constantly is doing, which is, you know, holding Dexter's compulsions and his code up against various legal and moral foils. And I expect that to continue. You know, I like that the, you know, Code of Harry has turned into this conversation over three seasons now going from this, you know, thing that he adheres to wholeheartedly and instinctually to being this thing that has been kind of deconstructed and ripped apart and reassembled and now it's largely yes still harry's code in a lot of ways but now dexter is kind of adjusting it and adding to it and i like the way that he and you know harry literally on screens subconsciously uh talk it out and you know harry

Starting point is 00:15:00 still got a point about various things and uh so yeah i don't know i mean i feel like the ebb and flow of Dexter being either more or less conscientious, more or less cautious is a fun game of the show that I expect to continue. And yeah, this is a fascinating wrinkle in that, this idea

Starting point is 00:15:18 that, yeah, this guy understands maybe at least his motivation, even if he's not ready to see all of his methods. I thought I was pretty smart on Dexter's part to be like, I'm not going to actually do the deed in front of you. That's, A, for me, selfishly I am doing this, but also B,

Starting point is 00:15:34 just a smart thing. Just like after all the stuff, I mean, obviously Miguel Prado has all the, you know, more than enough incriminating intel. But, yeah, the idea that, you know, he's at least still got the action itself to himself is smart.

Starting point is 00:15:54 I agree. I think also one other thing, and then we'll move on to the other questions. I think another very interesting facet of this, especially before Miguel really, like knew who Dexter really was. I love like all the interactions between Rita

Starting point is 00:16:10 and I'm so sorry I'm exing out in the wife's name right now. Thank you. And with Miguel and with Dexter. Like the four of them interacting like it really and also you can make the argument too when Dexter is with Rita and with the kids he gets a

Starting point is 00:16:26 glimpse into what a normal life away from all the vigilante stuff is like but I think this too like gives him a kind of a glimpse into like what a normal life would could be like you know what i mean yeah so i really do like seeing that side of the show and how it's kind of that balancing act like i remember we had a question last week did you miss not seeing dexter dexter and like yeah it's always like i always miss a little bit not seeing that but i also like seeing different facets of the show as well and like stuff like that well we got a couple

Starting point is 00:16:56 dexter i mean they haven't been quite as it's not been as deep into the dexter serial killer bag and And I know that season two made a point of doing that, where season three is more circumstantially doing that. But, yeah, it's nice, at least as of these couple episodes, to see Dexter in his zone and grappling actively with that. And who's my favorite character going into season three now? I mean, they're all, like... I love Deb, too. Deb is great. Like, yeah, I got big love for the ensemble.

Starting point is 00:17:29 I think I still just... Angel. Yeah, I think sentimentally... Speaking, Angel and Masuka are still like my favorite other characters who tickle me or, you know, touch me every time we check in with them. I think Angels arc this season, his little, you know, side romance has been very lovely to watch unfold. Deb, always an MVP. Yeah, and I feel for her, you know, like every season she's got some kind of new, interesting romantic prospect and some kind of, you know, really emotionally

Starting point is 00:18:04 taxing shit to deal with and yeah it's lovely to watch her but yeah like the whole ensemble is great and I've been loving as well Jimmy Smith's in this season so yeah but be curious to hear y'all's

Starting point is 00:18:20 thoughts on these things as well moving along thank you Izana Laura Raine thank you so much for chiming in hi John and Andrew hello there I always enjoy watching your reactions

Starting point is 00:18:34 and this series is my all-time favorite so it is especially enjoyable to watch along with you. Thank you. This is fast becoming one of my favorites. Mine too. Dexter has been thrown into some crazy conflicts. Miguel's vigilante push, Camilla's final wish,

Starting point is 00:18:51 and Rita wanting him to commit. Which do you think really tests him the most and what does that say about his code? And most importantly, what is your favorite kind of pop? Pumpkin. Pumpkin, pumpkin. pumpkin uh that i'll just answer that one really quick uh i'm i'm so sorry because we watch so much media obviously i know what you're talking about with uh when it comes to rita's uh wanting

Starting point is 00:19:14 him to commit uh what was the camilla's final what was that one again oh it's the pie it's the keelai i just i forgot which character camille i apologize yeah character actress margot martin bell yeah um what is one of his more crazy con if we're talking about this season, I mean, I would... It's definitely the pie, all right? Yeah, we cannot pussyfoot around the fact. I mean, if Dexter doesn't find the pie, it might all be over. I was going to say, he's going to be exposed.

Starting point is 00:19:43 To John's point, it's really hard to find a good pie. I mean, yeah, I mean, the vigilante push is tough because everything, every time he thinks that what Miguel is going to, the answer he's going to say, Miguel flips a U-turner on him. Yeah. So I think like because Dexter is such a strategist and he circumnavigates a lot of his decision making on that, you know, the fact that he's got to rearrange his decision making based upon that, I think he throws him for a loop and causes, it creates new conflicts for

Starting point is 00:20:18 Dexter. So I would probably say Miguel's vigilante, push, and the fact that he's the ADA. And, you know, Harry did make a point of saying, like, make no mistake, you guys might be brothers and friends and all that. this guy would like to keep himself out of the cage he would sell you in a heartbeat and you got and you got to remember because of what la guerta did keeping an innocent person out of jail and on the chicky hines case i think that woman lawyer i'm gonna come around i think she might be not only building a case to get him out of uh miguel out of the the job of a d a could be building a criminal case again i don't i don't know i wouldn't be shocked if that female lawyer woman woman who La Gwerta feels betrayed by gets a little skinning action. I don't know. But if that happens, LaGuarda's going to start looking into Miguel as well.

Starting point is 00:21:10 And Miguel's going to, I don't know what's going. I'm just saying, like, these are thoughts and things that are racing through my head constantly. Yeah. Well, and the fact that, I mean, like, the more we learn. Yeah. Obviously, I guess Miguel is the biggest physical conflict at play because it is the riskiest for Dexter. I think the stuff with Rita is fascinating and is

Starting point is 00:21:33 more of the emotional stakes obviously because we want it's interesting to watch Dexter wriggle and emote because again he doesn't experience emotion the way normal people do but he does experience something and it does seem like in this

Starting point is 00:21:49 cluster of episodes we just watched as Rita is getting more set on this marriage and on moving into a house together and all that stuff he has been acting out a little bit in the ways that you do sometimes

Starting point is 00:22:07 when you don't fully realize what is happening inside and you need to do a little soul searching his his responses to her especially in that first episode did feel you know yeah a little flippant and a little bit

Starting point is 00:22:21 yeah like something's going on with you and you need to kind of unpack this bro you know like it seems like you were definitely avoiding this and the way he's like No, I don't want to go look at houses. You know, like that conversation seemed like it could have gone better if not. And it's a good dual debate because on the one hand, you're like, well, yeah, Dexter doesn't have the normal people skills. But on the other hand...

Starting point is 00:22:45 He's being pushed out of his comfort zone. I get it. But on the other hand, yeah, like you're being pushed out of your comfort zone. Things are changing. This threatens part of your way of life. And so, like, naturally you might close off a little bit or experience, yeah, that bristling of emotions. So, yeah, I think that stuff is really interesting, emotionally speaking. But, yeah, like, Miguel, the more we learn about the Prado family,

Starting point is 00:23:07 the more tense I get about this because, like, it's fun and satisfying that Miguel is so gung-ho about this and that Dexter potentially has somebody with whom he can identify on the spiritual aspect of his addiction, affliction, whatever you want to call it. but the more it's like we already know oscar was in to some less than savory activities and and ostensibly was the black sheep of a well-to-do family but now we've seen that romone also has his own way of doing things which is very much over the line and now we have reason to believe that Miguel Prado obviously is willing to bend the rules in ways that we have seen firsthand and in ways that have only been alluded to to and I'm very, very afraid that, you know, this chicky hind stuff, it's like I admire Laguerta trying to keep all this stuff together and keep it separated, but I do have a big worry that, yeah, basically her giving over this intel on chicky Heinz is going to lead to

Starting point is 00:24:14 a greater examination of all of Prado's cases and, you know, then things are going to get bad. And at that point, he's either going to ask Dexter to take out that DA, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, defense attorney who he's up against or is going to start squealing about other stuff. Either way, I feel like the closer they get to each other and the more this becomes a mutual activity, just, yeah, the more tense I'm going to become and the riskier everything is going to get. And while I think, yeah, as smart of Dexter not to actually give this guy the direct evidence of his actions, I am just so tense and worried about the whole thing. And I really do like that they get to be friends and bro out and, you know, confide in each other in ways.

Starting point is 00:25:02 You know, it's an interesting flip from like the Lila situation because obviously that was somebody who was able to see him, but who clearly like wanted to feed on him or to be at the center of his universe. And with Miguel, it feels a little bit more mutual. It feels a little bit more equally balanced. So it doesn't feel like, yeah, he's feeding on him necessarily or like, you know, using him to solely selfishness, but he is using him to various ends. And I wonder how deep the rabbit hole goes with Miguel,

Starting point is 00:25:35 because if he's willing to do what we've seen him do up till this point, I can only imagine this rabbit hole goes a lot deeper. Favorite pie is, it depends on the day. I mean, I would absolutely, any old time I will throw down on pumpkin pie. Hell yeah, love to make a pumpkin pie. I love to eat a pumpkin pie. I make a good pecan pie as well. I don't want to try that sometime.

Starting point is 00:25:56 Throw some bourbon in that. Hell yeah. Whoa. Love a lemon meringue pie as well. Definitely, that's probably my triumvirate of pies. And then, you know, there's apples classic. There's a lot of good pies. McDonald's are homemade?

Starting point is 00:26:10 You know. Is there really any other option than McDonald's? I hate really. I was just giving him an American pie reference. Hey, hey, hey. When I do my rewatch, I will pick that reference back up. All right. But yeah, leave your favorite.

Starting point is 00:26:26 pies down below. Leave which of your anxieties between Miguel, Camilla, or Rita is most popping at the moment. And thank you, Alora, again, for the question. Liminal stressed. Hey, guys.

Starting point is 00:26:42 Really enjoying your Dexter reaction so far. As are we. Thank you so much. One of my favorite things about the show is that they really make Miami feel like its own character. If you could pitch a storyline where Dex visits another city or corner of the world, which would you like to see him lurk around to do his thing i think london or new orleans could be a fun setting

Starting point is 00:27:01 for the vibe of the show i think new orleans i was going to say i would i would love to see new orleans that was going to be my choice yeah cafe dumont seeing some uh what are those called the the donuts that uh i want to get so bad at cafe dumont ah god i can't oh specific kind of donut yeah what are they called god put them in the comments below i'm spacing right now what the donuts are called. Anyways, but yeah, I think like the city is really jovial and so alive, so I would definitely love

Starting point is 00:27:31 to see him, and there could be so many fun locations that Dexter could just use to his advantage, so I would definitely go with New Orleans 100%. Yeah, New Orleans is a good one. I'm trying to think of a different spot. I think oh, I had one. Shit. New Orleans

Starting point is 00:27:48 would definitely be cool. I think Dexter in a place like... Las Vegas. I want to see him at the Vegas would be fun Or like a place like Yeah

Starting point is 00:27:58 Some I guess a place like Rio Or something like that Wouldn't be too Crazy different from a Miami But I mean Yeah Las Vegas would be interesting Los Angeles

Starting point is 00:28:07 Would be interesting You know Dexter New York would be I don't know I don't know if the pace Of New York would quite allow for I think you know Miami has that perfect

Starting point is 00:28:19 Like you know There's certainly a bustle But there's also You know a lot of, yeah, leisure at play. But, yeah, London or New Orleans are great. I mean, technically, we've seen him in Paris, the ones. Right, just for Lila.

Starting point is 00:28:35 Yeah, it's hard to beat New Orleans. I think Las Vegas is a good call. I would love to see, yeah. I mean, Los Angeles would be fun. Like, you know, something like a maniac or whatever, the remake, the original maniacs in New York remake with Elijah Woods in Los Angeles. But, you know, like,

Starting point is 00:28:51 I feel like there would be a lot of interesting L.A. based stuff for Dexter to get into but uh i don't know there's got to be some other interesting cities states at all so leave us your thoughts down below as to where else you might like to see ancient greece get get get some uh kill rooms going in the pantheon or something like that i want to see him at a toga party there you go thank you liminal stress you Rejignation, I'll be honest, money has always made me anxious. If I'm low on money, I stress out about how will I make more? And if I actually have money, I stress out about, I'm afraid I'm going to lose all this.

Starting point is 00:29:32 That's why I've made a discipline, a real discipline. Not just to manage money, but change how I relate to it. And that's where something like Acorns comes in. This, it is today's video. Yes, it is today's video sponsor.

Starting point is 00:31:19 LLC and SEC registered investment advisor review. Important disclosures atacorns. com slash rejects. Seriously, acorns. You guys rock. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:31:24 All right. All Nikki closing out the Q&A. Michael C. Hall. Thank you so much for chiming. And also Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carbenter were married in real life while playing brother and sister

Starting point is 00:31:35 on Dexter. They married in 2008 and divorced in 2011. They continued to work together on the show until it ended in 2013. How do you feel about this whole dynamic. And do you think you could handle it? Well, I mean, I made a, I know it was probably a weird comment, but I only made it because

Starting point is 00:31:55 like Cruel Intentions is one of my favorite movies and their chemistry is off the charts when it comes to Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter, I said, I could see Deb and Dexter hooking up one season. I'm probably not going to happen. But I mean, again, their chemistry is so electric on screen. And again, you do feel that history of them as brother and sister. of course they don't have uh they're not biological brother and sister but still could i handle it it would definitely be tough but if you offer me hundreds of thousands of dollars you know an episode to be somewhere even with someone that you know i just recently went

Starting point is 00:32:33 through a divorce with i'll stomach it for sure but i think they again they have an incredible dynamic they're really good their interactions feel so seamless or so organic and i love watching them work together and nobody cusses like Deb. She is the best at it. What about you? Could you work with someone that you divorced? Sure. I mean, you know, it's acting, so you've got to be able to

Starting point is 00:32:57 transcend your reality and also borrow from parts of it. So you know, it would be much harder to play a married couple with your sister I think. Yeah, I mean, it's a unique dynamic for sure. I think there are ways in which, yeah, it's a little weird because obviously

Starting point is 00:33:13 you know, you don't it's not cuth it's not acceptable for you know the two different dynamics

Starting point is 00:33:24 to twine but you know I feel like in a lot of ways like while you're married and you're playing brother and sister I feel like that would just be pretty fun honestly because yeah I mean like part of you

Starting point is 00:33:39 as a couple I would hope is that you get along well and you get along really familiarly and you see each other in ways that a lot of other people don't get to, which isn't altogether different from the possibility that, you know, a family member, you know, the potential situation you might have with a family member for them to be able to view you and to know you a little deeper than a lot of other people do. So I feel like, in a lot of ways, it's probably not as crazy as it sounds having to do that.

Starting point is 00:34:06 After divorce is harder, I, you know, hope it was some kind of amicable situation, so they don't have to hate each other on set. But, yeah, I mean, you know, that's the trickier part. Right. But, you know, even that, I feel like, you know, brothers and sisters bicker and, you know, they or they can. So it would be a head trip, but I don't think it would be as crazy as certain other things. And, you know, Deb and Dexter both oftentimes have their own plots and stuff going on. I do really like their dynamic as brother and sister and the way that you are reminded of that.

Starting point is 00:34:45 like sometimes they're speaking very professionally with each other. Other times they're very much speaking as to people with a familial relationship. And I mean, I think it helps in context that they're, you know, he's adopted. So it's not like a full on biological thing. I agree. I agree. Yeah. If they were playing like biological brother and sister, you might have an extra layer of like, oh, that's kind of weird.

Starting point is 00:35:07 But again, definitely not as hard and strange as it would be to play the spouse of your actual sibling actor in real. life. Yeah, I think I could probably, I would hope I could handle it. I mean, you know, especially because the idea is like once they're divorced, you know, they're still, they're not supposed to be in love on the show.

Starting point is 00:35:27 True. That we know of, you know, so I think it wouldn't be as, it wouldn't be impossible for sure. It's something you'd have to just make sure you're able to be genial about on set, but otherwise, I feel like if you're a professional and you know your character well enough,

Starting point is 00:35:41 it should be relatively doable, relatively workable. but be very curious to hear if any of you guys could do that any other stray thoughts on the Epps No, just I really enjoyed it Looking forward to seeing who the Skinner is Again, the development continuing

Starting point is 00:35:55 Of the relationship between Miguel And Dexter and When everything, when all hell breaks loose Especially when he finds out about his brother And yeah, I'm loving This season so far, it's fantastic Yeah, very tense, a lot of great developments And stuff like that and yeah

Starting point is 00:36:11 The halfway point, I mean we got Quinn, you know, revealed, too, about the internal affairs thing. Yeah, and the Debb in relationship with Anton. Yeah, I got to commit that guy's name to memory. But I mean, I like the way that that's

Starting point is 00:36:27 progressing. I felt really bad for Wendell, but yeah, the whole, you know, Deb and the CI relationship is pretty fun and interesting and tense. And, yeah, this mystery of who's doing the skinning. It's not as in your, like, it is a focal part of the season,

Starting point is 00:36:43 It's not quite as in your faces. Like, we have a new serial killer. But it is that, you know, it is that is happening. You know, there's a body's popping up with the same ammo. And it's nice to have that flavor. Again, the second season subverted it by having that be Dexter. But, you know, here, it's nice to at least have that back. Can I make one prediction?

Starting point is 00:37:04 Please. If Anton, if that's not his name, but if Anton and Deb finally hook up and, you know, go to bed together, I just want to see them smoking a J after they do it. Sure. That's all I want. Okay. Get Deborah off that wagon.

Starting point is 00:37:20 Yeah, exactly. And I hope that he finds the pie. Yeah. The key lime pie, yes. For Camila. Camilla. Camilla. God, I can't pronounce anything.

Starting point is 00:37:29 It's crazy that, yeah, that they've kept her on. I think they, I don't know what was happening in her career at this point in time. But, you know, it seems like they definitely recognized that they had a great talent in Margo Martindale and to keep her around is a really nice thing. But, yeah, this was. this was fun. This was tense. This was a great couple episodes. I am still thoroughly enthralled and invested

Starting point is 00:37:49 and I am only getting more worried about what's going to happen with Miguel Prado and his brother and all the rest surrounding that. So can't wait to shoot the next couple. Want to know what life on the tennis tour is really like? We're here to
