Dexter Season 4

Yeah it's cranking up good. I'm going to enjoy watching Dexter piece it together :)
 
Woah. I do wonder how they're gonna fill the other 7 episodes though. I mean, Dexter knows who it is and where he lives. I doubt they're going to stretch the kill out for 7 episodes, so there's gonna be a major complication somewhere. If next week's preview in the episode revealed anything, I didn't watch it and rather not know.
 
This is shaping up to be one of my favorite seasons yet. ****!
 
They need to cut down on the relationshipy, menstrual drama crap. This episode was full of it.
They should have put Debra in a coma for the remainder of the season.

The 2nd half was rather good though. Nice little twist at the end. I can't wait for the next episode.
 
TwwIX spoke what I was thinking. First half of the episode was shitty, second half was excellent. All the Deb drama was expected but still irritating.
 
The fact that Dexter sees Trinity as being "like himself" I think will delay the murder for a bit, but what it's gonna come down to is that whether Trinity is hiding or not, he's not like Dexter. He kills people who don't deserve it.

I was pretty interested to see how it ended, Dexter basically echoed what I was thinking when he was like "This doesn't fit".

And I didn't hate the stuff with Deb. I think it showed another side to her character. She only swore like twice the entire episode.

The Vacation Murders were wrapped up a bit too easily, and I feel like they were so completely drowned out with everything else that was going on.

Agreed, it was quite cringeworthy to watch. And not in a good way.

Yeah, it was all wrapped up quite neatly... maybe a little too neatly. With the guy dead, the cops won't find that it wasn't him that killed Lundy, so the focus will be off trying to find Trinity as their copycat killer.

Whether it was Trinity who killed Johnny Rose or it was just luck that the girlfriend killed him before the cops could find and interrogate him... I guess we'll find out. But I despise lucky coincidences like the latter.
 
Why would Trinity kill Johnny Rose? There's no reason for it at all. Meanwhile the girlfriend was drugged out and was waving a pistol around shouting at the pavement. I think that's pretty easy to figure out
 
Uh, so that he can't even try to deny that he never killed Lundy? Of course, whether the cops would have believed him is another matter.

That's the kind of lazy writing I despise where everything is so neatly wrapped up. The exact same thing happened at the end of season 2 where Doakes was killed by Lila, absolving Dexter completely. Just bugs me, I guess.
 
The whole season they have tried to come up with new ways for Dexter to be able to sneak away from the house so that he can go kill people. They were running out of ideas. Now with Deb being mad at him, and Dexter living in his old house, they wont have to worry about that for few episodes anymore.

Are you sure? :p

I don't mind Deb but I hate all the other relationships. So annoying, I'm surprised no one complained about them yet...
 
I think this is shaping up to be a great season.

Trinity story progressed faster than I thought it might, I wonder if he lives by a code?
 
The only relationship in this show I'm OK with is the Quin + reporter one, if only for the gratuitous topless scenes.
 
Pretty predictable so far. Then again they have a habit of leading you one way then flipping the script. Deb's on to Trinity for Lundy's death, and the way it's shaping up she'll find Dexter is the one who stole Lundy's stuff, and is now in possession of the murder weapon. But that seems so obvious they'll probably end up going somewhere else with it. Who knows?
 
Provoking Trinity like that was awfully ballsy and possibly quite stupid on Dexter's part. Good episode even if not a whole lot happened.

Can't wait for next week.

Yeah that was intense. For a second I thought he was going to drop it and shatter the urn..."oops, I was admiring it and it slipped right out of my hands!".

Like I said earlier Deb should be getting close to finding out about Laura Moser, too. That, and the Lundy evidence and now the murder weapon...again, seems too obvious so they'll probably go another way and just conveniently not address any of it properly. Then again I have been off about a lot so far. Thought for sure Lundy would hang around in a coma for a while for one, but nope. So no telling, should be good tho.

That's totally what I expected.

I'm not sure what there is for evidence around that. I mean, they're both dead. Plus, if she talks to this other woman and comes to the conclusion that "oh yeah my dad was a total whore", she could just drop the whole thing from there. And even if Deb does find out that Dexter's mother was one of them, so what? She tells Dexter, he feigns emotion, and it's over.

I'd guess Trinity's 3 victims correspond to his mother, father and sister. Maybe something like his dad abused the sister, mum didn't stop it, sister killed herself to escape, then mum killed herself from guilt and finally dad killed by Trinity or a random in his pub.

So far so good.
 
When Rita found out about the apartment, I immediately thought to myself that he should just say: "I need some room for myself, I'm sorry, give me some time to adjust to this family situation because it's all new to me". If Dexter thought of that same excuse earlier, it would saved him a lot of trouble.
 
What do you guys think is going on with the Deb getting on Trinity's case thing? I don't see how it could stick, but it seems anyway to me that the writers might be setting Dex up to get accused of being Trinity - all Deb has to do is find some evidence he missed that proves Dexter took Lundy's files, connect that with his ownership of the murder weapon, etc... she wouldn't believe it now but if she finds out he knew about their father and mother's situation and didn't tell her she might stop trusting him and things could get nasty. I hope that's not what's going on though, doesn't really float my dramatic boat so to speak.

The thing is, she hasn't gotten to Laura Moser's file, yet. Just the name alone could put her on to Brian Moser. There could be notes in the file about 2 sons, or she could just start investigating it and find "survived by..." naming Dexter and Brian or the like.

Don't really see how they could try and go with Dexter being Trinity. The killings are all over the country the last 30 years or so and Deb would know there's no way he could have been doing it.

If it were me, and Deb found the murder weapon or any of the other evidence, I'd just have Dexter tell her he found out who Trinity is and is going to take care of it, and the less she knows the better, because she's a good cop and doesn't want her involved, etc.
 
This season is getting better and better.

I Am so glad that they brought John Lithgow onto the show. I have been a fan of his since 3rd Rock from the Sun.

A lot of history was revealed in this episode

Here's my theory of how his family may have really died though. I think that he and his sister were madly love and had a sexual relationship. Their parents found out and the sister offed herself. After that, the mom killed herself because she couldn't bare the pain and embarrassment. The father probably started being physically abusive to Arthur after their deaths. He may have already been abusive to all of them long before any of that occurred. Arthur finally succumbs to his rage and hate, and kills his father with a hammer. Trinity is born!

Personally I'd lean towards the father being abusive, physically if not sexually, driving the daughter and mother to suicide, with Trinity killing the father, hence, the "it's your fault." His attachment to the sister being born out of not protecting her sooner, rather than any sexual stuff. Dexter is protective of Debra and there's no funny business there, and they are drawing parallels between Dexter and Trinity.

My guess is at the end of all it will be a morality tale showing the difference in serial killers between being raised by a good father who teaches a code, and one who is abusive. Neither can change who they are or their affinities to violence, but the one raised in a loving family uses his illness for good, etc.

I'd lean closer to Twwix on this one.

If the father was just abusive and the mother and daughter killed themselves, why would Trinity recreate that over and over? He'd want to feel empowered like he's in a place to rescue the mother and daughter, recreate a scenario over and over that he couldn't ever achieve when he was a kid. The father was certainly abusive, but I'm not sure it was the root of all of it.

Exactly. He even says "It's your fault" when he hammered away at that guy.
 
Just an interesting side note I observed in Episode 5. When Dexter and Harry are in the car staking out Trinity's kill site...Harry is wearing a seat belt. Just struck me as sort of funny, being that he's not real and all.
 
Isn't real life horrible enough?

Why do you have to watch a tv show about a murderer?

That's so fascinating, modern, original and cool :|

I bet if you people lived in 3rd world countries you would lean towards stories of hope rather than horror.

The horror of modern civilisation.

Where else am i going to learn how to stalk, kill and sever human bodies?
Video games aren't that informative.
 
it's only a matter of time before those gripping dramas are turned into another thing that is gripping and/or being gripped. (I am so sorry.)

LMAO

And Mr-Fusion I think your taking this show way too seriously, when it isn't meant to be.

It actually is fascinating, modern, and original. Take your sideways face and poor attempts at trolling and go watch Teletubbies, child.

You should watch it, you know. You have no idea what you're missing!

EDIT: Also fyi, his body count is about 50 - 60 by now.

God damn Dexter is great.
 
I saw it coming too.

But i think that Farrow was still the killer though. The assistant was his accomplice. He even says "If they could thank me, they ****ing would. Because of my pictures, those women will live on forever." with anger. This was more of a filler episode just to prolong the inevitable.
 
Great episode. I agree with TwiXX about the fashion photographer remaining guilty, although his comments COULD be construed to suggest he was innocent.

Trinity developments were interesting to say the least.

Fusion, take your poor attempt at trolling elsewhere please.
