Melissa Rosenberg, writer and co-executive producer on the Showtime's Dexter, talks about Season 3. Spoilery for Season 2. 

Not spoilery:  The show is projected to have a lifespan of 5 years.  And, "We've been meeting for a month now for the third season and it's been like, 'What the hell are we going to do now?'" she says. "But I think we've come up with something that's going to be hopefully as good. I can't even hope to surpass it, but I can hope to do as well. It's going to be tough. But it's a challenge."  She does not go on to specifics.

Huh. Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter are dating, apparently. I thought he was married. Guess he's divorced now.

http://www.veidt.com/?p=40  Sherry has some spoilery details about Season 3, also referring back to http://www.veidt.com/?p=16    I' m not familiar with with either

( in case it's spoilery )

but perhaps I shall investigate them.

Book review. (This 3rd book in the series goes off  into a world pretty separate from the TV series; I think the TV series is stronger/more interesting, and that the resolution of book 3 was "you've got to be kidding"  eyeroll-worthy.)  Showtime has a book vs. series comparison chart that's interesting: http://dexterwiki.sho.com/page/Dexter%3A+The+Books+vs.+The+Series
Back to Orion books, they also have an interview with Jeff Lindsay and  Q&A:
http://www.orionbooks.co.uk/interview.aspx?ID=11360 - interview. Non-spoilery interesting tidbit:  "He draws on his acting background to help. "I write Dexter as though I was acting it.""
http://www.orionbooks.co.uk/QandA.aspx?id=11360&catID=0 - Q&A  Only the last paragraph is spoilery (cut away at  the words, "Have you started your next book? Can you tell us a little bit about it?"); the rest is about him, his likes, habits, history (black belt in karate! folk singer on coffee house circuit!) etc.

(no subject)

I've been sitting in one place too long, I ate 2/3 of a bar of dark chocolate for dinner (like that's healthy) and now feel shaky and jaw-clench-y from the caffeine, I didn't work hard enough this week, I'm obsessed over a tv show about a serial killer, and I filed a lawsuit as power-of-attorney for my sister today. She's got so  much going on, at any given minute, she sounds like she's going to explode or melt down. I manage to avoid much of it, but I feel explody/melt-downy tonight. I've never experienced anything like this run of ... issues... she has before.  It's one disaster after another. I hope it ends soon,  like, before the hearing in June. Grr Argh.  I shall head home to my cat, who loves me, and I him, and forget about it for awhile.  Except Dexter, who fascinates me, with his charmingly normal public mask and wryly dry personal commentator.  I like the way he hides in plain sight, struggles with emotions, makes himself engage with others even though they baffle him.
