I think the neighbor is toast...Dex has been walking the line this whole season and him killing an innocent guy, although creepy beyond belief, was the push he needed. The neighbor looks slimey and Dex can probably find something to justify the kill but I wonder how Dex will deal with Rita as the kiss seemed mutual?
Yep, I can see it expanding and opening up a whole new broader area for Dex to explore and also creates the possibility for many more seasons...anything to keep the show going. Honestly, Dex, True Blood and Smallville(I know I know but always been a Superman freak so anything with the man of steel and I am down)...keep me going.
That would be tough. Murder is definitely bad, but which non-murderers deserve to be killed? Is it the jerk in middle management that makes his employees miserable or is it the CEO that gets rich by unethical means? Is it the crooked contractor or the dirty politician? Is it the cheating husband or the woman who only sleeps with married men? Once you cross that line, it means Dex kills whoever he wants or he goes to war on society, neither of which, I think, is sustainable from either his getting away with it or his tenuous hold on sanity.
Very good episode last night...just finished watching it. I feel like the first 8 episodes were on the slow side, but the past two episodes have really pickedup the pace and built some momentum toward the finale. Judging by the preview they showed, the next couple of weeks are really going to be something. Can't wait Sidenote: Turns out I was somewhat right about Trinity and the reporter. I think last week most everyone figured that they were in on things together after he showed up at her apartment, but I wasn't so sure that she, or he, knew what the other was up to. As we know now, Trinity had no idea that Christine shot Lundy or that she was fully aware of his past.
I don't think he is going to kill the neighbor but I think he will confront him and scare the hell out of him. It looked like in the preview for next week it showed Dexter punching a dude with brown hair. I think it might have been the neighbor. I suspect he will end up putting his hands on Quinn also. We know Dexter is more than capable of beating a man down in a straight up scrap (remember his fight with Sgt. Doakes in season 1?). I think the rest of this season we will see him develop even more outward emotions (mainly anger) as he embraces his role as father/husband.
His scenes with Doakes were some of my favorite. [esp the headbutt] I think it is going well. All the slowness and ended and they moving at break neck speed. Cannot way til next week. Rocket River
Spoiler Is Cody 10 years old now? Will he replace the boy that Dexter saved? If he is 10, then Dexter's family fits the mold. Arthur would try to kill Cody to represent his own lost innosence. Then slice Asther'S leg like his sister. Rita would be the jumper and Dexter blugeoned.
One thing that has bothered me for a while and now seems to be coming back to haunt Dexter is how sloppy he has been with the whole Kyle Butler alter ego. At first, I just assumed he was going to use the name once or twice and then when he began using it as a long term thing I assumed he took steps to sure up the details. Last night I noticed he was using his same cell phone to talk to Arthur and Rita. Pretty sloppy. In fact, the whole Trinity situation is sloppy with him being seen in public with Arthur on multiple occasions. I don't see a realistic situation where he kills him and gets away with it without someone recognizing him during the investigation. Hopefully, the writers surprise me (as they have often done) and prove me wrong.
What investigation? If Dexter kills Arthur he'll make him disappear. Dexter would never be called in on a missing persons case either. Though you are right that he's been pretty sloppy but that's what the season has been about. The pressures of being married with kids now has affected his ability to kill and he either has to evolve or be discovered.
I had the same thought. Hell, Dexter went to the missing kid's house and showed his own laminate and gave his real name. Clearly, Trinity is going to put this into the open (from the previews), and I think Deb or somebody else is going to find out all about Dexter's Dark Passenger. I loved last night's episode. So many things starting to go down, and I was on the edge of the couch. My wife and I both swore when it ended because there is so much left to be resolved the last 2 weeks. I also want to know who was Christine's mother, and what her relationship to Arthur was.
I think Deb will make the connection between Harry and Dexter's Mom. that will be this season's cliff hanger Rocket River I still waiting for it to be reveal that Dexter is not TRULY ADOPTED just got that feeling
Spoiler The Cody/10year old boy thing was something a friend and I discussed last night. Dexter made some reference along the lines of not being able to imagine his family going through that (or something like that, I forget his exact quote), and I told him "that's gotta be foreshadowing, the boy will get rescued and Cody will substitute to keep the ritual going" How old is the reporter? 35? Jesus. Those are some perky...personalities, for 35. One that's totally out there but has crossed my mind... Arthur's son has gotten a lot of screen time. Any chance of him being the guy that ends up "breaking the cycle", due to what Dexter has told him? Does he put two and two together? Reason I bring this up is that, (and I've only heard this, haven't gotten around to the 2nd, 3rd or 4th books), but Cody and Aster are supposed to have a "dark passenger" within them...maybe I'm way off base. The show has trailed off from the book, but they're leading up to Deb finding out about Dexter, or at least being lead down that path for the next season story arc. (the old Informant remembering Laura Moser's name at the end of this season would get the ball rolling IMO. Missing case file, pic in Dexter's cabinet.) Dexter still doesn't know about Christine as of the end of the episode. He left before Deb told Batista about everything and informed everyone else. IIRC, Dexter is totally in the dark about that, I wonder if that plays into this in any way. Last but not least. The babysitter. Would ya? Some thoughts I have about the last few episodes and speculation about what may happen in the next 2 eps/next season.
The seasons have never really had cliffhangers in between them. If anything, they'll just put it off 'til next season.
Not really. It doesn't leave the "OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!" feeling. Like the last season of Lost, where the nuke went off and the season ended: that's a cliffhanger. Having you wonder how Deb's investigations will go is not a cliffhanger.
