Dexter Season 4

In order of awesomeness

Season 1 > Season 3 > Season 2.

Season 4 is definitely better than Season 3, but I'm not sure yet if it is as good as Season 1. It's also been quite a while since I saw Season 1.

Good to know, out of the 3 seasons I've seen, S1 is definitely the best season. Will get started on S4 soon.

Aye. I knew that i was going to like the show the second i heard the eerie piano/violin theme. It's very seductive.
 
I feel like next season will be the last - or at least the second to last. Dexter is already wearing himself thin with Rita doing most of the work at home. The kids aren't going to raise themselves, and with how many mistakes he has already been making, I can't see it all running all that much longer.
 
"Depra Morgan... Depra Morgan. Depra Morgan? ... ****ing Depra!"
 
At the end, I thought "so was Debra telling Dexter that Laura Moser is his mother the big twist we heard about?" but I was soon to be corrected. :)

Awesome season! Reminded me I still needed to buy season 2 and 3. But to my surprise, season 3 isn't actually on DVD yet in whatever DVD region I'm in? The fuck? How long is that supposed to take? Ordered season 2 now though.
 
That was ****ing fantastic.

I'd think so too. Despite how much I love the show I do think there should be some closer on Dexter's character and I'd hazard a guess at us seeing his demise until he is finally caught. Whatever happens, I hope there is a fight to the death between Quinn and Dexter. God, I hate that asshole.
 
Huh..

The big twist actually pissed me off, I didn't mind Rita and I really don't want an entire season of Dexter juggling the kids alone.
The writers better come up with something good.
 
Excellent.

The worst thing is that even though Dexter killed Trinity, he'll never be able to avenge Rita's death. He killed Trinity because he felt he had to, not because he wanted revenge. So Trinity wins.
 
overall, a very enjoyable season indeed

unfortunately, the finale was spoiled for me by some anonymous asshole
 
Yeah I got Dumbledore'd, too. My version of Hell for people like that involves cactus-rape.

Just throwing this out there...I think Dexter killed Rita. All season Harry has been harping on him about his family tying him down, etc. That scene in the jail cell he says it again, and Dexter says "I want it to be over" or something similar.

Just finished the first book, too, and there are themes in there about the Dark Passenger taking over completely. Dexter wondering if he was blacking out and killing the Ice Truck Killer's victims without knowing it, etc.

Also, there shouldn't be blood on the floor like that if Trinity did it. There would just be bloody water from the bathtub. And Trinity certainly wouldn't have known about the "born in blood" thing, either. Maybe it was just for dramatic effect, but if not...

At the very least I'll bet next season at least has them thinking Dexter did it. Batista saw Dex talking to Trinity in the station, so that's gotta play in somehow.

Just noticed, that freeze-frame on the video has Harry and Rita as the only two people behind the plastic. And that was Season 2. A little foreshadowing?
 
About Dexter killing Rita, while an interesting idea, I don't think that jives with the MCH and Lithgow interview (on the official site). They expressly said that Trinity killed Rita, which gave the "kill scene" between him and Dexter more complexity. That's not to say the writers can't flip things around. It would just be a little weird that they mis-informed the cast like that.
 
While I liked that Trinity killed Rita, and therefore wins, I really don't like that he put Harrison in the middle of it like that. Even killing Rita the way he did doesn't fit any of his previous murders.

At first I was irked by Trinity's recreation of Dexter being "born in blood", since he wouldn't have known it, but then I realised that it wasn't necessarily Dexter's he was recreating. Trinity himself was born because he was watching his sister shower, spooked her, and she fell, got cut, bled out. It was like he was creating Harrison as another Trinity, his own little legacy.

The idea of Dexter killing Rita is an interesting one, but it doesn't fit with the remainder of the episode. As shown by the making love scene, and others, he really was at a place where he loved her, and wanted to be rid of the Dark Passenger. If the choice was his, he would have chosen Rita.

The next season could so easily ruin this show. Quinn is becoming the exact same character as Doakes, does anyone really care about La Guerta and Batista getting married, and now we're gonna have Dexter juggling emotionally wrecked children while pursuing whatever new serial killer pops up? I'm skeptical.
 
Sara Colleton and John Goldwyn have chosen a great successor -- Chip Johannessen, who has been a key producer of '24' for the past two years. We're confident that he will bring intelligence, emotion and great storytelling to the next chapter of 'Dexter.'

God help us.
 
Just watched those interviews on the official page. I guess my theory's shot.

Yeah I was thinking that, too, about the pattern not fitting. He would have needed to kidnap another 10 year old boy 5 days prior.

But it can be seen as a crime of passion, no need to fit the ritual. He was going to leave Dexter alone until he drugged him and got arrested. Stealing all his money didn't help either. Doesn't make sense that he'd kill Rita then not hang around to kill Dexter too, tho.

And whole-heartedly agree on the La Guerta/Batista thing. Just seems like a lot of the season was rushed, and if they hadn't had that stupid side story going on they could have explored Trinity/Dexter much deeper. Plus, I'd rather see Batista go back to being an alcoholic and start banging strippers/hookers again for more tits.
 
Interesting finale. I'm not too sure where they can go with now though, short of Quinn going after Dexter.

Shame to see Rita go, as Julie Benz is hot, but she was always criminally underused and having to play blissfully ignorant all the time probably got to be a drag, given her character never had any development. Hopefully she'll find another project soon where she can have a bit more of a demanding role
 
I believe the writers said "Where can't we go?," (or maybe that was one of the producers). It does open up things a bit. Oh, I skimmed through the link and read something about it "in the middle of a two-season pickup." Don't have time to re-read it, atm to make sure.

As for why trinty killed rita, they said in the interviews tav posted that Dexter and Trinity threw each other off their game. Trinity ends up breaking his pattern when he kills Kyle Butler when going after Dexter, and Dexter breaks his code when he kills an innocent man because hes so flustered because of Trinity.

Also, do you guys think

Dexter will dispose of Rita's body? Unless Dexter has snapped after Rita's death, then it fits his character that he would. His wife just up and leaving would draw less suspicion than people finding out that Trinity went after Rita even though she doesnt fit his profile. It would also make logical sense in the fact that it would be "better" for the kids.
 
I think its...

...logical to assume that Batista seeing Dexter talking to Trinity in the station could have been Trinity trying to seek out his prey (to Batista's point of view), so it could be written off like that in my eyes
 
I'm not too sure Batista really saw Trinity. He was walking up from behind Trinity, glanced at the back of his head, and just kept walking without turning around and seeing Trinity's face. Plus, I think, if anything, Batista would be more suspicious than anything if he realizes Dexter was talking to him.

You're forgetting about the "why?" tho. Why does Trinity have a beef with Dexter, enough to kill his wife over? That will be hard for Dexter to explain, regardless. And there's no way it could just be random, especially since it doesn't fit the profile, there will need to be a reason. If nothing else it will play into the Kyle Butler thing, or the planting evidence.

Honestly I doubt they'll even spend too much time on it. Trinity's dead and they'll move on to whatever next year's theme is, most notably Dexter dealing with raising the kids and all that. All this other stuff only ties in if Dexter is seen as a suspect for Rita most likely.
 
My thoughts:-

The big issue for Dexter I think is the fact that Trinity's Family think he is someone else (Kyle) so Rita turning up as another victim of his, given the relationship between them could be an issue (though I guess the writers could always brush that under the carpet with them being disappeared under the guise of witness protection...lame). Dexter sure would have a lot of explaining to do to the FBI as to why he was masquerading as Kyle.

Disappearing Rita might seem like the perfect solution, but that opens up a whole can of worms for Dexter given the kids. Though of course again they could be palmed off to the grand parents. However personally I'd find that to be a bit of a dismal move by the writers if they go down that route.

Clearly I suspect they've thought all of this out (otherwise they wouldn't have done it), but I just hope they don't go down the lazy road which effectively becomes a reset switch for Dexter (no wife/no kids = no complications), as half of what makes the show interesting is seeing Dexter struggle to maintain the masquerade.

No, they wouldn't do that. He's too attached to the kids. It wouldn't work.
 
Yeah, I think we'll be seeing Trinity's family in the next season. Kyle Butler was a big person in their lives and they'll surely mention him in the investigation. Police will go look for this Kyle Butler and find one that was murdered, which of course will lead them to conclude that someone was impersonating to be Kyle Butler. I don't know what they have to tie Dexter to Kyle, but surely a composition drawing should go a long way? Or perhaps some pictures from the house building gigs.

Will it even go that far? Once they find that Kyle Butler knew Trinity and then a Kyle Butler was killed, might they stop there? I don't think they'd call in the family to see a dead body of someone who wasn't related to them.
 
Agreed, Yorick. It'll be written as a dead end I expect.
 
Not necessarily. It's conceivable that Trinity's family will be brought into the station at some point. Then again the FBI took over the investigation so probably moved out of Metro to their own building. Still, would be very interesting to see a shot of Dex and Deb or Batista talking and see Dexter's face when Jonah calls out "Mr. Butler?".
 
That Quinn had that dig at Dexter over the Philandering he did during Season 2 (which Masuka put him onto) I thought was kind of interesting. I'm pretty sure Quinn is going to start investigating Dexter.
 
The whole Quinn angle is so ****ing retarded. "Oh that guy saw me taking money so I'm gonna piss him off" YEAH THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
 
I might actually hate Quinn more than Doakes, but I'm not sure. The entirety of Season 2 is blended together in a giant ball of suck.
 
Well, Quinn is trying to find something he can use against Dexter, so they'll be even. So I'd say it's ok, really.

But yeah Quinn does suck.
 
Doakes was entertaining, Quinn is just annoying.
