To be honest one of the things I like about that show is it's like a modern Lovecraft story. Hidden lost cities, ancient formulas, forbidden science, horrible secrets from beyond space and time, and terrible monsters. About all that's missing is an elder god, but not every lovecraft story involved that either. Oh and the show has soul shattering terrified looks on people almost every episode, a typical lovecraft reaction to horrible realation. Above all else, the series has no shortage of people who've gone completely insane with forbidden knowledge, wandering naked painted up like a map for dizzy people.

Incidentally whenever I talk about this show's Ice Truck Killer people think I'm talking about Dexter. What does that have to do with Dexter? Dexter is a show about a guy with a big secret working in a lab just trying to avoid his annoying little sister who's always messing things up and threatening to reveal him, I mean what does that have to do with serial killers?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
