Dexter season two was fantastic. It was different than season one, but still good. Time for random thoughts and observations...
I kind of found Dexter's sexual libido odd. They spent much of the first season focusing on Dexter's lack of libido, and now all of a sudden he's a sex fiend. (I get the deal with Lila and the understanding aspect, but still, it seemed to be a little much...)
There were many similarities to season one in term's of Dexter's search for someone who can understand him. Rudy was his potential true friend in season one, and Lila in Season two.
Rudy and Lila have a bunch of little things in common. Both had lines of work that focused on the body. Rudy made prosthetic limbs and many of Lila's sculptures involved body parts.
Rudy and Lila both wanted to have Dexter all to themselves. They both wanted to be understood as badly as Dexter did. Neither wanted anyone else in Dexter's life (Deb, Rita).
I can't help but think that how Dexter got himself into AA is just a little silly.
Laguerta is an evil genius. She just is. As much as I hate her for it, I almost respect her for it.

Oh, Lila. I don't like you one bit. I never did.
For whatever Dexter had in common with Rudy and Lila, you really see how different he actually is. He is a different kind of human, not completely devoid of emotion. I think that this has less to do with the code than Dexter thinks. There is no doubt that Dexter is a cold-blooded killer, that he has this intense need to kill that he cannot stop, but there's more to him, even if he is unable to understand what that is.
I don't think Rudy or Lila could understand that Dexter was different from them, the same way other "normal" people can't understand that Dexter is different, either.
All the Freudian sh*t was a little silly and just plain transparent. From Deb with all her daddy approval issues to that dream Dexter has about saving his mom.
Rita really turned Dexter into Paul in her own head. Its amazing how grief works.
Dexter is going to have a really hard time finding someone who understands him and who he can also trust enough to not hurt he or the people he cares about. I'm pretty sure he's figuring that out.
I think if anyone got it, maybe it was Doakes, but probably not.
All in all an enjoyable and satisfying season.
