Burn Notice meets Dexter

I am really enjoying Burn Notice. It is a nice blend of action, drama, and humour. Yet I noticed something odd. Last week's "victim" was Dexter alum, Angel Batista (David Zayas) and this week's "villian" was from Dexter as well, Mark Pellegrino, who plays Rita's druggie abusive ex husband Paul.

Woohoo!

I have to say, I was really missing the Dexter crew. If, for some reason, the one other person reading this blog is the writer/showrunner for Dexter, then I would like to see either Erik King (Sgt. Doakes) or C.S. Lee (Matsuka) next.

I'm really excited for this next season of Dexter. I guess, in a way, I wonder about my own sanity as I enjoy and root for a guy that's a serial killer, but at the same time, the show is so well written, it is hard not to.

The interesting thing about Burn Notice is that Michael Weston (our intrepid anti-hero) has no real interest in being a good guy. He is more interesting in finding out what he needs to know and takes the "good" stance because it furthers his agenda along. Dexter pretends to be good to fit in socially, to keep himself from getting caught. Each have a code, although Michael's is definitely bendable and Dexter's is set by Harry (Dexter's deceased foster father) to keep him from detection.

My wonder is how closely the show will follow the books. If this current season is very good, I may find myself looking at the books.

And LaGuerta. She'd be a good addition to Burn Notice.
