      Definitely just different tastes, but I think what you might consider flawless I consider proactive. I live my life striving to see problems simply as obstacles that WILL be overcome, rather then just awful things I will endure.

      Should I be worried I'm identifying with a serial killer?  ;D

        hmmm is that to say you are without emotion? :-  That was his advantage devoid of of an element which contaminates judgment. Methodical and absolute in his adherence to the code.

        But that is a good philosophy to live by

        but Dexter flawless? ;)

          Actually Dex didn't have much emotion, but even early on he showed flickers. Choosing his foster sister who didn't know about his nature over the biological brother who did because he was “fond” of her being a bigger example from season 1.

          He is certainly logical though, and can divorce his emotions to take a step back, and weigh a situation. I try to be able to do the same, because I feel it better to look for a solution instead of simply dwell on the problem itself.

            Same here.

            I looked at the brother issue slightly different. Dexter was forced to confront bonding with his brother and shelving the Henry's code…his foster sister representing that tie to Henry's code, the ultimate of sacrifice.

            All actions have a cost,…some lesser,..others extreme.

              Different takes, but I read more into just the WAY he said the word fond… it was almost as if he surprised himself.

                I'm jealous, Dexter use to come on regular tv and then they took it of and put it on cable.  Damn network teasers.

                  Actually Sweetheart it started on cable, got chopped up (pun intended) so it could be aired on broadcast TV, and then I'm guessing it got pulled.

                    I talk about challenges when others are talking about problems. Used this term here to make it unique for everyone. In TV I like those heroes, that are growing in a specific situation; when they don't give up, face the situation and getting things done. It's a bit like real life.

                      Hear, hear, though I would say it's more like real life should be. Far too many give up way too easy.

                        Agree Janine, far too many give up.
                        When I say it's like in real life I talk about “real” heroes. People like you and me –  not giving up, working on themselves to get better, to grow. This is my compare heroes – real life.

                        It's sad. There are more people giving up, than people which are really failing. And too many people don't wanna take responsibility for their own life.

                          The words “I can't” truly mean “I won't”…adversity tests and measures us…

                          If anything or ability to deal with failure, disappointment, loss will impact our future. Live life with your eyes on the road ahead, not on the rear view mirror.

                            It's more “I don't want” You always have the chance to say “I can't for the moment” This is giving you much more power.

                            Agree. Look ahead. You can't change what has happened but you always can change what's coming next. At least you have the influence.

                              I've been on this soapbox before.  People LOVE their excuses. It's much easier then taking action, then working through and then past the problem.

                                On the left hand they love their excuses. On the right hand they are so caught in this behaviour, they can't behave in another way.
                                And now the circle is closed: They can, but as they always say “I can't” they get a self-fullfilling prophecy.

                                They are caught in a double-bind or a catch 22.

                                And sure, this kind of behaviour is so much easier. “I can't; I don't have the chance; I don't have luck; It's the weather's fault, the neighbour's, my father's one….”

                                  The Walking Dead is quite good, lots of zombies. :P
