Can I watch Season 4 episodes of Dexter if I subscribe to Showtime even though it is not the current season?

I am hooked on the TV show Dexter which airs on Showtime. I want to watch Season 4 and then get caught up on the current season (season five). If I subscribe to Showtime can I watch Season 4 episodes either online, on demand, or on the channel somehow? I am aware it is not the current season but the website made it seem like maybe I could watch older episodes online or on demand.

If you have Showtime you can watch the episodes on demand through Showtime. As of now they have the entire 4th season. They will also start putting up the older seasons starting in June. You can also contact Showtime if you have further questions.

The Cove, may have won the 2010 Academy Award for Best Documentary Film, but its makers will most likely not succeed in their goal of stopping the Taiji dolphin hunt.

This is not because the Japanese are deeply committed to hunting dolphins. In fact, dolphin is not generally eaten in Japan, it is a little-known regional dish. Before The Cove brought publicity to the practice of eating dolphin meat, very few Japanese were aware of it.

Also, the Japanese are just as charmed by dolphins as any other nationality, "swimming with wild dolphins" is a popular activity for Japanese tourists.

On the other hand, the idea that dolphins are as intelligent as humans is not generally accepted in Japan. The Japanese (and Chinese) word for dolphin, iruka, means "ocean pig," if translated literally. That fact suggests that dolphins have traditionally been viewed as a food source in East Asia, and most Japanese find it hard to understand why it's O.K. to kill cows and pigs for their meat, but it's not O.K. to kill dolphins for the same purpose.

I think it's important to bear in mind that the dolphins which are killed and captured in Japan are not endangered species, and that they are hunted in a sustainable manner. Another point that one should at least consider is that perhaps the idea that dolphins should be given a privileged position and special dispensation from being hunted is a Western cultural peculiarity.

Japanese journalist Katsuichi Honda makes the following comments in an essay he wrote regarding the 1980 case of Earthtrust president Dexter Kate who was arrested for releasing 200 dolphins from the nets they had been corralled into in Nagasaki Prefecture. During the course of discussions with Kate's supporters, Honda made the following points:

"Whether this distinction [superior intelligence] between dolphins and other animals is valid or not, a more important issue is why no question arises on killing animals of lesser intelligence. Why can we slaughter cows with no problem? The activists provided no justification to explain less-intelligent animals' destiny, while they rationalized that cows can be controlled as livestock and therefore we can slaughter them. I asked them whether we can domesticate dolphins and then slaughter them. Their response was in effect that this would be pathetic and barbaric. Their argument is not logical but rather emotional, deeply rooted in their own history and culture.

For those born and raised in Western culture, dolphins and whales are animals that frequently appear in ancient Greek or Roman mythology. A comparable animal in India is the cow, which is regarded as sacred and has never become livestock for slaughter and consumption. Thus, the difference in cultural or historical background is significant...I asked them what they would think if Indians went to ranches in the western United States and liberated cows."

I think that the points Mr. Honda makes are valid. But that doesn't mean that I view this as a one-sided issue. There are good and bad points on both sides of the debate-with the bad points being more emotional than logical. The Japanese tend to react to criticism of their nation's hunting of whales and dolphins (and even bluefin tuna) with emotion and nationalism. But for that very reason, the confrontational approach that the makers of The Cove have taken is destined to be counterproductive in terms of convincing those fishermen or the Japanese government to stop hunting dolphins.

Dexter: The Best Show on TV, For Real

If you were a serial killer, where would you seek employment? Well, if your name is Dexter, you would work for the Miami Metro Police department in the blood analysis unit. Dexter is the hit, multi award-winning Showtime drama based on the books by Jeff Lindsay that is one of, if not the best show on television. The main character of Dexter is played by Michael C. Hall (Six Feet Under), and his performance lends believability to the character and shows just how well a serial killer can fit in with normal society. Dexter’s main problem is trying to figure out just how to fit his killings into his work schedule, and then how to wrap all of that around being a father and husband.

Dexter is not without his conscience though. His father was a former police officer who showed him how to kill and get away with it, and has driven a code into Dexter that he must follow to keep from being caught. He appears to Dexter at times to try and give him clues or just general advice. The main clause of Dexter’s code is that he can only kill those who have done bad deeds. He is the keeper of justice when justice goes wrong, or when criminals get off on a technicality. He is there to swoop in and defend those who can no longer defend themselves. He’s a serial killer, but one with heart.

With a supporting cast that includes Jennifer Carpenter (Quarantine) as Dexter’s foul-mouthed sister, a semi-perverted crime lab partner played to perfection by C.S. Lee (Sopranos, Chuck) and a host of famous guest stars like Jimmy Smits and John Lithgow, the show is entering its fifth season stronger than ever.

And speaking of this season, Dexter is going to be going up against another serial killer, played by John Lithgow. Lithgow’s character is called Trinity and he always kills in series of three. Dexter is, of course, hot on his heels and will have to find some way to dispose of this new threat before he is found out or killed. Dexter airs Sunday nights on Showtime at 10pm eastern, 9 central.

If you don't own, or don't believe in TV, but still want to watch all the action on Dexter, you can now watch TV shows online anytime you want at FreeTVOnline.com.
