Season 3 has been absolutely crap albeit with some classical genius moments but, who are these new characters and why are they there, do I even care or know much about them, do they fuel my interest, no! They are a serious waste of time, man I miss the good old days with Doakes and real killing. Now he's supposed to get ******* and have a ****, Dexter is clearly finished. I think I'll stop watching season 3 and revisit season 1 and 2... sigh.. why does this have to always happen with shows.

Every show brings in new characters otherwise the show gets very stale but saying that alot of people aren't warming to miguel at all which is not good but I think it will get better!, we have 2 more seasons after this one it has to get better!

^ I don't think Miguel is going to be around for very long. Probably no longer than this season, max. He's a "Guest Star." There's a reason for that.

Like I said in an earlier post -- I think Miguel and his brother are up to something. I think they're involved in some shady business.

I don't mind the new characters, it's required to make the story move on. But it's the softening Dexter that I don't like. I preferred Dex when he was sharp, killing at least one bad guy each episode.

Somehow, I can't figure how Dex could enjoy being ******* and dealing with ****. He was so emotion less during all those years and now, suddenly, it's growing on him....

Season 1-2 where the best so far.

i like this direction, because like rappy said dexters killings get stale if he kills the whole cast...a side sotry needs to be seeded....they've done deb, dex's childhood now they can only do backsotries for other characters to keep it fresh....enter jimmy smits.....though i do admit nothing beats the doakes storyline..

Yeah I think Miguel will be killed off eventually or Dex will frame him.

Yep -- That's what I'm thinking. That Dex will frame him. He has the shirt with Freebo's blood on it. Plus Miguel doesn't fit Harry's code.

I still think Miguel and his brothers are involved in some crazy ****.

And I like the new direction as well. While it's not as riveting as the first season, I still enjoy it (Y)

Yeah but then Miguel has the killings on him, tho he can't really prove the bloke on the cruise.

So if Miguel has killed people before, would Dexter kill him if he found out?

He hasn't killed before as far as I know, if you were referring to my post I meant Miguel knows Dexter has killed people.

Haven't seen this last weeks episode yet (waiting to watch it with the gf), but I hope Dex does some sort of killing.

Freebo and Miguels brother have been the only victims yet, with one being accidental and one being incomplete to dex's standards.

I must agree that the Prado's must have some dirty little secret they are holding, something just doesn't seem right with either brother. Plus we all know Jimmy Smits is going to go bye bye soon due to being a guest.

Well, if it's updated correctly, a visit to IMDB will show that Jimmy Smith is only in Dexter for 6 episode, next week being the last one.

But, that may just be IMDB that is not up to date....

Yeah, I'm thinking IMDB is just not up to date. I can't see them wrapping up (pun?) Smits' character in one episode. I think he will be around till the end of the season.

He hasn't killed before as far as I know, if you were referring to my post I meant Miguel knows Dexter has killed people.

No, It just sounded and feels like he has killed someone before from previews, and he didn't mind Dexter killing the guy from the cruise and he was going to kill freebo. Just a thought..

I just have a feeling that Miguel is trying Dex to kill people that are competiton or have done business with Miguel and Ramon in some shady drug deals. Making it look like they care about taking Freebo is a great cover - as it was for Dexter admitting to Miguel he killed Freebo (and not risk being exposed as the Butcher. Why is it that Miguel is so proud of Dexter's efforts?!

Afterall, out of all the crack houses in Florida, why would his Oscar be there fighting with Freebo? I'm willing to bet the binoculars and the listening mic on Windell was Ramon - he like to keep an eye on the witnesses. Seems like same thing Dexter is doing to cover his tracks. Interesting parallel huh?!

Well, I'll say it again, this season is a little bit boring.... That last episode, Miguel becoming a friend.... Helping Dex to kill... Where is it all leading to?

I liked how Dex tricked Miguel but this has to lead somewhere as you said and I hope a big crescendo!

Well it looks like an interesting round of Blackmail for some supposedly close friends no matter which way you spin it. Everyone who touches or comes in contact with the Prados has something to lose and they have as much dirt on one as the other.

I'm loving this season of Dexter so far. I love the fact that Dexter has a friend that understands him. I just hope that Dexter doesn't screw Miguel 'cause you don't do that to a prosecutor.

NOTE: I haven't seen the trailer for next week's episode, so some of my thoughts may be answered in that. If you discuss what's in the ad, please use a spoiler tag :D I'm now 100% spoiler free on all the shows I watch.

Im actually enjoying this season now, Dexter seems to be evolving, seems that soon he is gonna have to choose between Rita or the Dark Passenger, its gonna become increasingly difficult to hide his unusual hobby living as a happy family with a new born...

Cant wait to see what happens...

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
