Agreed. I've heard it said by none other than Joss Whedon that comedic actors are often great at more serious drama; that if they can get down comic timing, that dramatic timing is even easier. I don't know how true that is, but considering some of the performances by Robin Williams (What Dreams May Come is totally underrated, and that movie where he plays a serial killer opposite Al Pacino was pretty great, largely because of his performance) I'm willing to admit that there may be truth to the idea.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has certainly proven himself, and John Lithgow was has so far been hands down the best villain of the series so far. Overall, I can agree that the fourth season may have been the strongest...

Spoiler for Spoilers for season 2:
... but the tension created in season 2 by the investigation into Dexter, Doakes finally finding out about him, and Lila's degeneration into a murderous, stalker psychopath was just so compelling.
