Dexter
By Normally on a Saturday I would be going roleplaying. However, Colin and Scoot are off to a Stag Do tonight so the game isn't on today. They had mentioned last weekend that they wouldn't be about this weekend but I totally forgot. I even went and bought snacks for the game.
Anyway, rather than sitting around and just browsing the web or playing games I've decided I'm going to catch up with one of the myriad of shows that I have fallen behind on. The show I've decided to catch up with is Showtime's Dexter, based on the novels by author Jeff Lindsay. Dexter is a forensic analyst who also happens to be a serial killer, allegedly targeting the truly-deserving.
I've got both Season 1 and 2 on DVD; 24 episodes in total, and if I start now I can get 7 or 8 episodes watched before Doctor Who starts at 6:40pm. I can then get another episode in before the 3rd game of the Boston Red Sox - New York Yankees baseball. I can then make inroads into the rest of Season 1 after the baseball finishes.

Hmm,
It didn't quite work out as I had envisaged. Dexter's episodes seem to be significantly longer than the 40-43 minutes of typical US shows; typically between 50-55 minutes actually.
I got 6 episodes watched before Doctor Who, which I missed the correct start time for; so, I watched it on a slight delay thanks to Sky+.
I didn't get an episode in before the baseball so decided that I would watch 2 or 3 after the baseball. I ended up watching the final 6 episodes of season 1 after the baseball ended.
It was pretty compelling viewly and I didn't go to bed until 6am this morning.
I might watch a couple of episodes of season 2 later but I have this nagging fear that I'll end up getting dragged in and watching more than just the couple.
Wasn't Dr Who cracking as a finale? I got it right. I reckoned that he would use his hand as sort of an "extra life" to stop himself from regenerating. Although I was not expecting two doctors. And DoctorDonna dying the way she was sooooooo sad.
