blankall, thanks for saying what I was trying to say much better than I did. Dexter's whole shtick is that he's a psycho and has no feelings and is trying to cope with the monster within.... it seems to me all that is his way of coping with the monotony and dullness and awkwardness of being alive. As you point out, for a guy who claims to have no feelings, he sure does spend a lot of time worrying about others and what they may think of him...

as an aside, I've totally cut Weeds loose. I love Kevin Nealon, but I thought season 4 was awful and not in a good way. Lucky for me, Curb your Enthusiasm (the best comedy on TV) re-starts in the fall.... can't wait!
