Dexter (Showtime)

[ChiefsFan4Life]

Anyone watch this show?

I was bored and watched all three episodes that have been aired so far on OnDemand. I actually think the show is pretty damn good so far, I like the character a lot.

It doesn't explain how Trinity found out where dexter lives. If thats the way they decide to end the show I'd be happy with it. Kind of a come full circle type thing. Then in a couple of years we can have a spin-off type series with Dexters teenage son wasting people and Dex there all the way mentoring him. Anyways, I'm glad the writers finally showed some balls there at the end, the show was starting to become way too generic.

Hank really did himself in this time. It'll be hard for him to untangle this mess he got into or so I would expect.

I wouldn't forgive him. The guy is a mess....and part of what's hurt the show for me is the total lack of immorality on any of their parts. And honestly, I don't have high morals so that should say something.

Thats how the books go. Dexter trains all 3 of them.

Ugh, no. I don't think I can deal with that.

I keep wanting to believe that Dexter is good at heart.

He was in Deb's apartment. We saw him bitching going through her mail, but we didn't see him leave the apt. It's quite possible he found some information about Dexter there (picture etc, address, etc.) and it just wasn't on screen.

Spoiler!

He doesn't train them b/c he wants to create an army of psychopaths, he does it b/c they are already displaying sociopathic tendencies. In some ways, it's probably the second most humane thing he could do (aside from putting a bullet in the base of their skull).

they could go many different directions with season 5. I cannot wait for it! Great writing, great acting and this was the best season to date IMO. Lithgow was a perfect choice for that role and I hope they can keep it going at this quality.

Remeber Deb was tracking and learning what happened to Dexter's mom. Maybe Trinity decided to do the same thing to dexter's son that happened to him from something he found at Deb's apartment.

And could he pull a Dexter on Rita and send her boady out in pieces so he doesn't have to explain how trinity picked his place and wife for his next target?

I hope they go this route. I hope they go more sociopath than hero with respect to Dexter. Sure, we'll root for Dexter to kill the "bad guy" but I'd like them to show Dexter in a much more ambiguous light, like I mentioned earlier.

I fully agree. This season was definitely the best yet and Lithgow was tremendous as "Trinity/Arthur Mitchell". It will be hard mind you I feel to really top this season in my mind. Then again, who had any idea before this season that it was going to be as good as it was? So they could shock us again somehow next season I suppose. Ya never know.

Not trying to be a dick to ya or nothing but next time put some kind of spoiler warning before you post crap like this. Most of us probably haven't read the books. So if they decide to take it this route perhaps next season as you seem to think they might depending on if they follow the books or not, you may have just ruined it to a certain extent. Not entirely but still. Come on man. Common sense. Next time use it!

Just re-watched the scene with Trinity on Dexter's table. Dexter is talking about his life with his family and Trinity tells him its too late and turns his head sadly.
