Welcome to Popfessor’s first entry in what’s sure to be a regular feature because it’s so easy for me to do: Great Moments In Screen Capture. I’ll watch a movie or TV show and show you the best freeze frames that particular outing had to offer. We’ll start with this past Sunday’s “Dexter”, which I felt was a pretty solid entry. Deb’s relationship issues, Rita’s badgering, and Laguerta and Batista’s relationship issues all took a back seat somewhat for some old school Dexter sleuthing. Let’s check out what sights for sore eyes Showtime had for their Sunday night viewers. WARNING: This is “Dexter”, a show about a serial killer. Some of the frames are not meant to be seen by young or wussy audiences. With that, I will insert the “more” break right here:

The first thing that caught my attention was this alligator corpse Dexter and friends encounter at the crime scene. One thing I learned: alligators have the largest vaginas in all of the animal kingdom, and their species resilience is incredible considering the fact that most alligator mums do not survive childbirth. Here’s another shot:

Best crime scene ever. It’s moments like these that remind me what a beautiful world this is and that I need to do whatever necessary to insert children inside of it.

Next up, on the “lame Deb side story” front, Deb has physically, if not emotionally (zzzzz), recovered from her near death incident with Agent Lundy, who instead received a full death. This leads to a great/ hot scene where one of her coworkers awkwardly welcomes her back with one of the sexiest hugs of all time:

Deb barely hugs back. I’d think she was a prude if she didn’t act like a slut in every other scene she’s ever been in.

Later, the department reviews the evidence about the alligator murder, which leads to a slide show I thoroughly enjoyed. Here’s their suspect:

I really find that subtitle unnecessary. If a dude looks like that, all professions aside from “fashion photographer” may be ruled out as options. Here’s some of his work:

Yes. It’s an Asian chick eating her own intestines with a chopstick. So, violent AND racist. They actually zoom in on the lower part, but I think this screen shot more than suffices. Here’s another one:

The little black and white thing poking up at the bottom is a plush panda bear they somehow managed to make creepy. I decided to focus on this half because we all know what a panda looks like, and most of us only get to see a triclops every other week or so.

Of course, the MVP this season is John Lightgow, aka the Trinity Killer. One of the things I was hoping to find with the screen captures are funny facial expressions, and Lightgow did not disappoint. Take for instance, the scene where he swerved his car to avoid hitting a deer. It was so good, I had to take 2 pictures:

And there was also this scene, where he was uh… shaving down some wood, or something:

Oh man, classic Lightgow. Next:

I don’t have a joke for this one. I just thought it looked nice.

Later in the episode Dexter stakes out the fashion photographer at a bar. It is here we find out that Dexter (left) has the coolest bar stance of anyone who has ever lived. Watch out, ladies:

Bad ass.

Eventually Dexter gets his man, and lays him down for what appears to be a UFO probing table. If anyone knows what this actually is, let me know. I like how Dexter’s hand is up in the air, like he’s either a maestro conducting an orchestra, or Mussolini giving a speech to thousands. I like to think it’s both. Fashion dude dies.

Later, back in the office, I noticed the art adorning the walls. You know, just in case you didn’t know he worked in crime scene investigation. Not in poor taste at all:

Well, that was that. I hope you didn’t look at this before seeing the episode. That would probably ruin it. All in all, not the best day at work for old Dex, as he conveys with an epic face palm:
