What would Dexter do???

[Queerasfck]

Hey fellow Dexter lovers!! Even though the season is almost over I thought this would be a good time to start a thread to discuss Dexter's deeds. So if you are not caught up on Dexter you may not want read any further--spoiler alert! In my opinion this has been a great season, way better than last year. I wasn't really a big Jimmy Smits fan. I think John Lithgow is doing an especially creepy job as the Trinity Killer. There have really been some surprising twists to this season, especially the bit with his daughter.
Aiso of interest, if you haven't checked it out you can watch the new animated feature they have on the Showtime website. It's called Dexter Early Cuts and each webisode is by a different artist. They are pretty cool. Click here for the link.

Love this season, and the twists and turns have been outstanding. Dexter killing the innocent man has put a whole new spin on it for next season. The similarities, family man, son, and Arhtur's ashes and Dexter's Dad, are clever add-ons.

Hearing Trinity say "Dexter Morgan" was realllllly creepy at the end of the last show.

If I was Dexter, I would have to get rid of Arthur soon, and any other's that got in my way.

I love Dexter. This season is so much better than the last. I'm not a Jimmy Smits fan either. Even when he's a good guy I want somebody to bump him off.

John Lithgow is superbly creepy. The way he went off on his son's finger was totally psychotic. Can't wait for the next episode. I also loved how he said Dexter Morgan..Totally creepy.

Question...I wonder if Dexter would welcome an affair between his wife and the neighbor so that she'd be too preoccupied to interfere with his whereabouts?

i LOVE this season...

i feel terrible but i find dexter's wife annnnoying. at the most pivotal points in the show his cell will ring, 'are you on your way? i need pampers/baby's got a fever/take my kids sailing' --and simultaneously i feel like she's just being a loyal 'wife and mother' (internalized misANDry!! -hiding face-) and she's so oblivious, concerned with appearances--at least twice an episode i turn to EZ and say: this woman is on crack.

I missed the last episode cause I had a fight with my tv carrier and turned off my tv service...... but, I love Dexter!!! Although he shoulda gotten rid of Arthur long before now.

His wife drives me crazy too. If I were Dexter she'd be gone already LOL. Can't stand that whiney needy voice and attitude. Plus she acts like he has to do this and that and the other thing in order to be a good father/husband... wtf. I'm thinkin Dexter wouldn't mind her having an affair with the neighbor LOL

I've really enjoyed this season. John Lithgow has been great-- super creepy! The twists and turns have been good, especially about trinity's daughter the reporter.

I'm also ambivalent at times about Rita. Most of the time I just find her annoying, but I feel bad for her too. I wonder if Dexter will use hearing about the kiss between Rita and the neighbor (who I also find extremely creepy) as an excuse to get some space from her, or even set up separate living arrangements.

I also like the evolution of Lt. LaGuerta's (sp?) character. It's nice to see a more warm, human side to her, rather than just the "I'm a strong woman so I must be a beeyatch too" character that she started out as.

Will Trinity kill the mother of Dexter's children???? Revisit to his past???Ewwwww

[Queerasfck]

Yes!! The preview for the upcoming shows was crazeeeeeeeeeee! I can't believe Trinity shows up at the police station. Obviously he is there because of his daughter, crazy Christine the reporter, but that's off the hook.


I've also been wondering how long it would take for Trinity to follow Dexter home and threaten his wife/kids. I don't think Rita will be killed but I do think Dexter and Rita are going to break up by the end of the season. Seriously, how many more seasons can the writers keep having Rita be concerned and questioning where Dexter is all the time? The only reason I doubt they will kill her off is because of the kids. Dexter can't be a full time dad.......but I do think Rita's character is kinda played out.

Debra's getting smarter as a dectective. I would venture to guess if and when there is a last season of Dexter she will probably put it all together and figure out exactly who Dexter really is.

You know, I gave this some thought while at the gym this afternoon and I do believe they just might kill off Rita with Trinity. If you remember in the last episode Rita said that Paul's parents (her ex-husband who Dexter killed in season 2 I believe) wanted to take the kids to Disney World. I'm thinking this--she will conveniently be all alone with the kids gone and Dex at "work" when Trinity comes to the house. This will bring up HUGE ISSUES of guilt for Dex to deal with next season. Or maybe the writers just mentioned Paul's parents so that the viewers will know they are "good people" so when/if Rita is killed the kids go live with them. Dexter is not going to be a single dad. There's no way. Thoughts?

I do too, but I also liked the fact that he got upset when he saw the neighbor kissing Rita.

Spoiler alert below!!!

I was sort of disappointed with Dexter last night mainly because the previous week's episode had been so intense. I did expect Trinity's daughter to die but thought Trinity would kill her so that was a bit of a surprise. I was put off by a couple of unlikely things happening--like the writers were just trying to tie everything together for next week's season finale. Dexter quickily finding someone else to pin the murders on for one was annoying to me. I didn't find it believeable that Deb would see Christine alone, Deb is a better cop than that.
I expect Trinity to die next week but anyone other main characters? Probably no.......it doesn't look like anything shocking will happen if you go off of the little preview they showed at the end of the episode.

I have been a fan of Dexter since I read the first book, way before the series started. But I have to admit that the series is even better than the books! (and that is something I don't say very often...usually movies or series based on books kinda disappoint me) Thank you Ezee for starting the thread.

Do you think Trinity will die next week? Is it possible he might disappear, only to reappear in a later season? It wouldn't be that far-fetched given that he has avoided capture for 30 years. And, by the way, I think John Lithgow is absolutely brilliant in the role. I wouldn't mind seeing him reprise it in a later season.

Lithgow is brilliant. I believe he will disappear..."after dying".

I think it is quite possible that Trinity will escape Dexter and not be killed to leave it open for further appearences. Since Trinity has the edge of knowing (somewhat) just what Dex is capable of. Looking forward to Sunday!!!

[turasultana]

I think Trinity will kidnap Dexter's son (not the baby) since he's about the right age and will get Dexter back for messing up the start of his cycle by saving the other boy.

That may however cause a schism in his relationship too.

Such a kick ass show, I don't want the season to end! no dexter and no true blood for ages and ages... sigh.

[Andrew, Jr.]

I love this show!

Season finale tonight. Any predictions?

Mine: Rita is killed by Trinity. Trinity gets away. Kids go live with their grandparents.

Rita may get killed (or at least taken) but I stick with the son being killed - he fits the profile of the start of the cycle. Rita could be the women in the bathtub, or the women made to fall off the roof of the building.

Also, Deb is going to find out who Dexter's mom is... then that his bro is ice truck killer... then?????

that's my prediction.
