As I announced here yesterday, Showtime gave me three cool, posters of Dexter that I'm just dying to give away. I received lots of email in response to the following question - which you had to answer correctly, to win one of three copies of the poster -What 2007 motion picture bears a striking resemblance to Dexter - featuring a serial killer who is capable of powerful love for his family, attends AA meetings to keep his "addiction" at bay, and has a sarcastically commenting inner voice?
And most of the emails made good tries, but gave wrong answers, ranging from Sweeney Todd to Hannibal Lecter to Suspect Zero (the last not really a good guess at all, since that movie was in theaters in 2004).
But three readers did get the right answer. In order of my receipt of their response, they are:
1. Davin and Denise Ledbetter from Texas
2. Michele Hettel from Florida
3. Russ Glenn from Cambridge, England
A nice cross-section of erudite readers! Congratulations, all!
-oh - and the correct answer to the contest question:
Mr. Brooks - starring Kevin Costner in the title role, William Hurt as the alter-voice, and a very good cast. The movie is not as good as Dexter, I would say - but is nonetheless compelling and original in many ways, for this genre.
================================
Interested in another contest? One in which you could win a free copy of my time-travel, history, romance novel, The Plot to Save Socrates - all you have to is watch NBC's Journeyman, at 10pm Eastern tonight. First person to email me with the correct answer to an easy question regarding the show will get the novel. Details at

This was a great ending , although I kindof wish they kept Leila around for another season. Have you noticed anyone who knows the real Dexter winds up dead, - his broken alter ego brother and now his soulmate. Next season will be very interesting, I can't wait to see where they go from here now that he is a master!!!
See, I know you'd come around the liking Lila at least a little, Dawn ... :)
So what's going to be our next joint television-watching venture?
The L-Word, The Wire - I'll be glued to both of those ...
And, of course, we have Lost, coming back at the end of January...
In the meantime, I hope you keep reading and commenting here. I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday and New Year's!
It's been a lot of fun talking to here the past six months, and I'm looking forward to more!
