If any shows goes for too long, it starts to become stale and judging from your opinion, that’s what’s happening here. And while I don’t watch the show, its great to know that it has a strong minority filled cast.

Doakes coming up to talk to him wouldn’t have been far fetched! (I hope someone reads this suggestion!)

It was definitely a wrong move for Doakes not to at least tell LaGuerta about his suspicions… and it was an even bigger wrong move for the writers to kill off Julie Benz. She brought so much to her role as Rita. I mean, I get what they were going for with the shock factor, but I do miss seeing her around. And yes, I figured you’d catch onto the DCM-12 ‘Back to the Future’ reference.

That’s what inspired the column. I’m happy to know that I’m not the only one that misses Doakes. It really did provide some much needed tension and intrigue. The flashbacks were nice, but, um, can they just bring Doakes back permanently? Also, I absolutely love your idea about Angel being a new thorn in Dexter’s side. That would be awesome!

I definitely miss Doakes. The season long tension between a cop working side by side with Dexter who doesn’t trust him was great. Even the season when Quinn was a cop (instead of a drunk man-whore) created a lot of tension with his investigation into Rita’s death. Dexter needs another Doakes for it’s final season…probably Angel?

Watched when she was on and stopped when she was killed. Doakes seemed like the only cop smart enough to figure on what Dexter was up to. But not to tell anyone of his suspicions? Wrong move.
