Is it wrong that I giggled at 'I must be strong and carry on' with Dexter stabbing somebody, not to mention the name of the boat? Probably, but oh well. I never got around to watching this show, but you did a good job with the song; kept my interest despite slow speed. I'll also add that I got black comedy out of this, so hopefully that was your intent.

And because I am a really, really terrible person

Spoiler:

Sorry, but I can't be the only one who made that connection/assumption.

Thanks Kate! Im glad you got what I was trying to do with the "I must be strong part". as he needs to just carry on and keep killing..

Im glad that the song kept you interested also, I was a little skeptical of the song as the song:

Spoiler:

Glad you enjoyed it!

I've never seen this show, mostly because I heard what it was about and it's just not my thing, but this vid is very well done. I really feel for the lady. Great song choice. It works in an unexpected way.

Thank you Lizzie! Im glad to see that you liked this. I worked very hard on it. Im glad that you noticed the pain that Rita (the Lady) had to go thru!

Nikki, great video! This is the first Dexter vid I've ever watched,and it was a perfect one to start with! Really liked how the song worked with the fandom. I never would have expected the two to fit,but it was perfect.It was a very touching video, which I didn't expect from the fandom. I liked the parallels around 2:45 between the baby and, who I assume is young Dexter.You did a really good job of humanizing Dexter. Loved the quote at the beginning.Great job!

Aww, thank you for making this great Dexter/Rita vid. They were such an intergral part of the show! Loved them.

I think this went fairly well for a vid with such a slow song, but there were some parts were the effects were too much for a slow song and that you went a bit quickly sometimes. (Although I did really like the transitions like 1:09.) I also LOOOVED the voiceovers and the overlays.

Overall, I enjoyed this! Good luck in the challenge.

Thank you both. I love any comments, and I love suggestions! Thanks so much! It was a hard song to use, but I felt it grounded the intense parts a bit, but It was a very difficult song none the less...

Nice vid, the song worked really well.

I have never seen the show but I feel like I got a nice summary of their relationship. I think the song choice worked well, too! Great job!

I haven't seen the show either but I was really intrigued by this.What exactly happened? This was so sad!

I really loved this vid! I agree with PsychoCynic that a couple of the transitions (the zoomy ones) were a bit fast for a slow song. The song really works well for this couple too.
