My travel show of choice at the moment is Dexter, the delightfully dark Showtime series about a cop-slash-serial killer. I love it (enough so that I’m reading the book it’s based on), but there’s something really funny going on with Jennifer Carpenter, the actress playing Dexter’s sister Debra. It was driving me crazy as I watched the whole first season over my last few trips, but I finally stumbled on it…aside from the hair color, she looks exactly Daphne from Scooby Doo. Don’t believe me? Take a look:
Okay, maybe I’m crazy. I’m willing to accept that. But if you watch the show, just think about it. There’s something in her eyes that reminds me of Daphne. It’s uncanny. And for the record, lest anyone assume that I’m insulting Ms. Carpenter by comparing her to a crudely drawn cartoon icon, I’d point out that I think Daphne is hot. Always have, always will.
So there.
