As any true fan of the Showtime hit series \"Dexter\" knows, Sergeant
James Doakes is in danger.
I\'m a fan of Jeff Lindsey\'s books. And my friends and I have watched
this intriguing series since it\'s first episode, season one. We
couldn\'t have imagined the dynamic interaction between Dexter
(Michael C. Hall) and Sergeant Doakes (Erik King). It has been one of
the highlights of the show for me. We get together each week looking
forward to the mind games that Dexter and Doakes play with each
other. Doakes is unique not only because he\'s been suspicious of
Dexter from the beginning but also because he has that no-nonsense,
direct and acerbic quality that many cops have, peppered with very
\"colorful language\" and GREAT one-liners. All the twist and turns in
past episodes have kept us on the edge of our seats hoping that
Doakes wouldn\'t discover Dexter\'s \"Dark Passenger\". Now that he has,
we find ourselves rooting for Doakes to survive. We\'re concerned that
one of these guys has his days numbered and we don\'t think that it\'s
Dexter since he\'s the main character. But we can\'t imagine \"Dexter\"
without Doakes, they\'re conjoined. Hero and Anti-hero, which is
which Maybe they can join forces. But we can\'t imagine \"Dexter\"
without Doakes, they\'re conjoined. Hero and Anti-hero, which is
which Maybe they can join forces. Or as we know, all who die on \"Dexter\" aren\'t necessarily dead (Rudy and Harry). Maybe Doakes could become part of Dexter\'s conscious. I just can\'t see killing off the character permanently. Doakes is the man!
It\'s been reported in the press that there will be a Season Three of
\"Dexter\". Even though it seems to be a trend to \"bump off\" main
characters on popular shows that we\'ve come to love, (Hector from the
Unit/Demore Barnes) I can\'t imagine the show without Sgt. Doakes. The
entire cast of \"Dexter\" is great, even though some of the characters
annoy me personally, we all love the way the actors play them. I
petition that we \"SAVE SERGEANT DOAKES\". If you agree, please sign
the petition. SAVE SERGEANT DOAKES!
The dynamic between these two characters remains the essential tension of the entire series. I have been reading your recent comments regarding the potential trajectory of the plot. It is clear that many other viewers feel the same apprehension about the future of the show.

The momentum surrounding our appeal to protect Sergeant Doakes is truly significant. It is heartening to observe so many viewers united by their recognition of the vital tension he brings to the screen.

Doakes makes the show what it is. Without him barking at Dexter it just wont be the same. Keep him on the cast!

Surprise motherf*cker! If Doakes goes then Dexter has no one to challenge him. Bad move writers.
