Heroes

By levinson.paul@gmail.com (Paul Levinson) Hey, if you don't like complicated, watch Heroes - though, come to think of it, that's pretty complicated too. All good and great irresistible television is. And tonight's FlashForward was up there with the best. It was written by David S. Goyer (co-creator of the series) and Scott M. Gimple. Can the show keep up this level of story telling in 2010?

By Paul Levinson(noreply@blogger.com) First, Jimmy Smits is on the show as an Assistant DA with a complex psyche and family including brothers. He plays great against Michael C. Hall's Dexter Morgan, who in this season also begins thinking more of family - not his father's and his, which is never far from his mind, but his own. My only regret is that I'll have to wait a good month before I see episode 5 - but I'll be back here with reviews of each episode, starting September 28.

By Paul Levinson Well, I was wrong last week about Captain Matthews and what he told Dexter about Harry's suicide. If tonight's superb Episode 11 is to be believed - and I can't see why it should not, on this issue - Harry indeed took his own life, and Dexter's feeling that the suicide came from his father's incapacity to accept Dexter for what he really is seems warranted. This was the major spur of tonight's show, in which Dexter comes this close to confessing. He let down his father, he let down everyone. He might as well give it up.

By Paul Levinson I thought the most significant exchange in tonight's Episode 10 of Dexter (Season 2) on Showtime came when Dexter tells Doakes, in his cage, early in the show, that Doakes is really the same as Dexter - two serial killers working on the side of the angels, by killing bad guys. And this is to apparently be moving Dexter towards a decision to kill Doakes. Except ... I'm also rooting for Dexter, and I've been all Fall, and looking forward to the final two episodes of this great season.
