One of the more peculiar theories about Dexter links it to Buffy The Vampire Slayer, a show that ended some years ago and doesn't appear to have any connection to the serial killer series. Yet it persists, drawing parallels between the ensemble cast, rampant murder and strict moral code of its violent protagonists. Actually, you don't need to go all that theoretical when comparing the two series. When Nina finds Angel about to chow down on a couple of hamburgers in Truth Be Told (episode eleven of the first season, fact fans), she admonishes him for indulging in fast food from the Doubelmeat Palace a franchise previously introduced in... ...Buffy, where the Vampire Slayer worked and it was hinted they used something sinister for their delicious hamburgers. So what's the connection between the two series? Well, regular Dexter scribe Drew Z Greenberg was previously a staff writer on Buffy, and worked the reference in.
