apocalypsosJust out of curiosity, does it count as a form of precognition, drinking Smirnoff in my default LJ icon when the Russians snap us up?
Yeah, didn't think so.

I just watched last night's Dexter. Homigod, y'all, this is getting AWESOME. How much do I love them putting Doakes into same space as Dexter when he's committing a murder? It's a wake-up call for the audience, because seriously, it's one thing to root for Dexter or want him to kill someone, but we've gotten so used to him killing people that putting Doakes there and showing us his reaction is a great way of slapping us in the face with just how much of a sick fuck Dexter really is.
I do agree with Doakes, though, that Dexter has a conscience. That's the thing -- for a serial killer, Dexter is not really a bad guy, which sucks because I get the impression a lot of the time that if Harry had gotten him some help when he was younger rather than steering the kid down this other dark path Dexter would have turned out ... well, not normal, but normal enough. I don't know ... I think sometimes when I watch that Harry did way more damage to Dexter than sitting in that shipping crate with Brian covered in his mother's blood did. He did a lot of good for the kid definitely -- with Brian he probably would have been equally fucked up, but Harry and Deb and, later, Rita and the kids did and do a lot for Dexter's humanity. But still.
Meanwhile, I still hate Lila and want her to be eaten by her own flying monkeys. What? I watched Tin Man tonight. If any fictional character aside from Azkadellia could shoot flying monkeys out of her boobs, y'all. I'm just sayin'.

Guess who only catches things on second viewings of Journeyman episodes? THIS CHICK RIGHT HERE.
I thought as much, but I was rewatching the episodes again and:
1. Livia and Dan sit outside Dan's apartment in a car she claims she "borrowed" in 1999 (episode 7, "Double Down") then follow past!Dan to the poker game.
2. Livia picks Dan up and drives him to the park where Emily is about to get arrested in 1995 for dealing drugs (episode 9, "Emily").
It's the same antique late-40s, early-50s car in both scenes. (Yeah, ask me about cars and see what the hell I know. It's old, it's got wheels. I'm good.) Which ... okay, the first time, I thought "borrowed" meant "stolen" because I wasn't really paying attention to the car. But, HELLO. She really is borrowing the car from someone, or at least leaving it in storage at their house so she'll always have transportation. It's got to be somebody who knows, and the easiest option is that it's family. (Well, really, who else has Dan told?) It's got to be the easiest option for her to get money as well -- she doesn't have Dan's ability to go buy "old currency" if she's living in 1948. It hasn't been made yet. Once again, she may be borrowing that from someone else as well, which might not be hard considering she can always give them hints on the stock market and which companies are going to do well. Just show up in the future and call a relative in the know to ask for cash.
It's totally Elliot Langley! You know it is! COME ON.
Oh, man, I love this show. Have I mentioned that lately? *swoons*
Yeah, didn't think so.
