Snoskred – Life in the Country

Dexter season 3 begins today on Showtime in the USA. As a result there has been a fair few media interviews with Michael C Hall. I’ve seen him on various TV shows and there’s a few excellent interviews around the place.

And then, there are some like this.

The worst Michael C Hall interview, ever.

Even Michael C Hall wondered what the point of the interview was, asking at one point “Can I ask you a question? What is this article focusing on?”

Honestly, that reporter was not prepared and should not have wasted Michael’s time. I could have gone there with a thousand *excellent* questions. Like really good ones. Like stuff that would have produced interesting answers.

Here’s a couple of the better interviews I have seen – warning these may contain spoilers if you have not seen Season 2 of Dexter.

Don’t forget – Michael C Hall Online – for all your Michael C Hall info and excellent pictures.

Someone has leaked Season 3 episode 1 – Our Father.

I will leave it up to you to decide whether Snoskred, Dexter’s number one fan, and Sephyroth, Dexter’s number two fan, chose to *ahem* download the episode and watch it, separated by oceans yet still able to pause the show at the exact right moment to make sure lines, plot points and goings on were seen at the same time.

Because of course downloading something like that would be somewhat dodgy and a bit naughty. But those who know where to look will be able to find it fairly easily.

All I will tell you is I am looking forward to this season of Dexter.

And on another slightly different topic, the show airing in Dexter’s time slot currently is Breaking Bad which is excellent. It is no surprise to me that Michael C Hall and Bryan Cranston are both up for Emmys this year.

Perhaps Sephy and I will liveblog the Emmys, too..

Back to your previously scheduled Sunday!

If one of them is dead..

Dexter Season 3 is coming soon. In fact, in exactly -

So there have been some fantastic ads put together, the majority of which do not give away anything. Here is my favourite one which does not give any hints or spoilers about what is to come, but does feature a brilliant piece of music – Secret by The Pierces. The song was also featured on Gossip Girl which often has excellent music. Enjoy!

So nobody knows yet if Australia will be getting Dexter at the same time as the US. I can’t see why Showcase would delay it – if they do that they will be forcing people to download it. And yes, I absolutely will be downloading it if they choose not to play it at the same time as the US. Why should we be punished because of which country we live in?

Now, if you *do* want a hint of what is coming up in Season 3.. here is a youtube clip for you. with our first view of Jimmy Smits in the show.

Did I mention I have an addiction to all things Dexter? Yes, I did, but I did not mention this fantastic website – Michael C. Hall Online. They have a fabulous photo gallery with all kinds of Michael C. Hall goodness. Today there’s some shots up from the TCA panels held recently as well as a couple of new promos for Season 3. Here’s a couple of my favourites.

Looks like Deb will be rocking the short hair in Season 3. That really suits her!

I’m loving that green shirt – and those shoes! But perhaps this is not a very practical outfit to wear to a crime scene. This would be more casual Dexter chilling out at a bar with his new friend played by Jimmy Smits, methinks.

One of my favourite sections is the candid shots because looking at them I wonder if I would even recognize Michael C Hall if I saw him on the street. He has one of those faces that changes when he becomes a character, in particular when he becomes Dexter because a big part of the character is wearing the mask and in a couple of the candid shots he looks years younger and somewhat different. Maybe I’m not putting that into words very well.

My addiction may have been fairly obvious from the amount of posts I have written about the show but perhaps you do not realise the full extent of my addiction.

1. I have google alerts set for Dexter and Michael C Hall, they arrive daily in my inbox.

2. I generally watch between 3-8 episodes of Dexter a week. And hello, there’s not any new ones arriving so how am I doing that? I watch the repeats on Showcase which is currently double Dexter and I might catch that 2-3 times during the week, I watch season one on 10 and I usually pre-watch the episode which is airing on 10 and write the stuff I post in the Aussie Bloggers thread.

3. I recently lent the box set to my Mother and while the box set was not in the house I felt very strange – I couldn’t just go watch an episode from Season 1 anytime I liked and I didn’t like that feeling. I got it back a few days ago and now all is well. And before you ask, yes she loves the show. She was secretly watching it on Showcase out of order, which is why I had to lend her the box set.

So I was thinking, maybe Michael C. Hall also has google alerts set for his name and if he does this post is sure to set off an alert.  What would I type here if I knew he would be reading this? Love your work. I sincerely hope you are having as much fun working on the show as we fans are having watching the show – something Julie Benz said about you being very serious on set has me a bit worried that you might not be. I wish there was a outtakes roll somewhere so we could be sure you guys are having a blast. And probably about a billion questions about the show in general. It annoys me that the press who are interviewing you are not asking the questions that I would ask.

Anyway, I just had to admit that to you guys because I know the first step is admitting you have a problem. And I do, but I am not sure I want a cure because Dexter is a great show to watch.
