Angel "No Relation" Batista was a char in the Dexter books. So if it is that Angel it is co-ink-y-dink but having never seen the show I don't know if that char made it to the screen version.

I'm guessing that 'char' is short for character, eh ? I'm having to wati to see Dexter on FX, USA or what ever it comes on, and not Showtime. Yes, on the screen version, Angel is a cop who works w/ Dexter and his sister at their precinct.

'Rap, you done missed it. Season 1 of Dexter just finished its run on CBS, of all places. I really like it, and was a bit pleasantly surprised with how much it *wasn't* chopped and edited to hell. Some, sure, but not much that I could tell.

Maybe they'll rerun it for the summer. It does make good summer fare, set in Miami and all.

And if you get a chance, check out "Burn Notice" on USA. It's pretty fun. Not so much believable, but fun. Also set in Miami.

CBS ? Wow. I guess I was thinking , because of it's edgy nature, that it was on USA. Like Burn Notice. I'm a huge fan of BN, and am eagerly awaiting season 2 !!

I remember seeing a man in a wheelchair protesting outside a theater in the 80's at the opening of a rambo movie. With his one arm he was struggling to hold a sign that read, "When rocky rambo was hiding in Switzerland, real men were fighting in Viet Nam."

Doesn't make the message of the first & last Rambo flicks any less interesting, IMO.

Movies ain't real lifeisall

Rocky Balboa is from South Philly and John Rambo is from Arizona not Yodel nation. As Rambo would say "Whoo da fudau uh uuu" thats cause all the silicone in the lips now. Movies were stilll Grrreat.
