No kidding.

What is up with Quinn taking that money from the motel?

I'm glad that Dex hid the body parts rather than having them in the car.

I felt the hiding spot was brilliant, and I love how he was mentally trying to tell him self where he hid the body in the visions of his Dad

Quinn's had some secrets ever since he debuted. Always wondered where he got the money for that nice car he drives around. And then the whole deal with him and Anton last season. Taking the money from the hotel is just more fuel on the fire.

I think having his dad as his conscience is one of the best aspects of this show.

I just watched disc 1 via netflix with my daughter this weekend. I will be watching more. Excellent show. I will not read any threads either, no spoilers for me!

I was just watching a bit of 3rd Rock and it's hard to believe that John Lithgow is the same actor. He looks the same, but completely different persona. Trinity is a whole new role for him.
Anybody remember Harry and the Hendersons?

Haha. Yeah. His comedy stuff was fine. He's soooooo good in this role, though. Very dark. I love it!

My memory of John Lithgow before 3rd Rock was of him playing more evil type characters, though I can't remember which movies. I think there was one with a young Denzel. In any case, I remember the discussion being that it was great seeing him in such a comedic role after all the evil roles.

Does anyone else remember that?

I don't have cable so I've been downloading the episodes. I'm caught up to episode 6. So far so good. I now Rita is annoying, but it adds a realistic element to the show. These too are still a relatively new couple and working out their boundaries. The idea of hiding his other life in plain site is interesting, but I wonder how that will keep working out. He already lies to Rita about spending so much extra time at work (when he's out playing). It seems like an easy way to get busted.

In any case. A great show and I can't wait to see how they develop the rest of the season.

Now I remember ... he played the serial killer in Blow Out, opposite John Travolta and Nancy Allen. Great Brian De Palma film.

I haven't seen these roles. I'll have to check 'em out. I just remember Harry and the Hendersons and then 3rd Rock. I know I've seen him in plenty other roles, just don't remember them.

I looked up his movie with Denzel. It was Ricochet.

In any case, he does comedy and serial killer very well.

so far I think this season is going to be GREAT

I agree 100%

Does anyone else get the feeling that Deb is going to send Anton packing in order to get back with Agent Lundy?

and I'm curious to see how Rita reacts to finding Dexter smashing the security lights.

I have a feeling Rita and Dexter are going to be test the whole season.
Part of me would like to see Dexter solo again but I do enjoy watching him juggle life and his hobby

I'm over Rita. She is a controlling pain in the ass.

yeah shes is becoming a bit much.

I don't want to open myself up to any spoilers but have anyone read the books? Please don't let any cats out of any bags if you have... I was just curious.

I don't think Rita is too mean, but she has changed in the last few seasons!

[The Professor]

Haven't read the books but an am avid watcher of the series. I think this is starting out as the best season since #1. I'm fascinated by the changes in how it's being filmed, particularly with regard to the (literal, bloody) cutting. They seem to have taken a cue from the slasher genre and focused us (the viewer) in on cuts by making them slower and deeper.

As for Rita, I can't shake this feeling that something's going to happen to her. Like others, I kind of feel like she and the baby are getting in the way of the show's core plot line. Part of me thinks she'll be killed. But I go back and forth about that, especially considering my next point....

Lundy is going to die. I have little doubt. The whole lone wolf thing from the last episode has articulated or joined him to Trinity. Deb might very well fall for him (yet another Deb romance tragedy); but I am almost absolutely certain he will die in an EPIC showdown with Trinity, possible in the arms of Dexter. Or maybe I only HOPE that will happen.

Love the show. Can't wait for tonight's episode. You know Rita is gonna be pissed. LoL!

Kind of like Jimmy Smits, I have a new respect for both of these actors after their portrayals in this series.

Dexter needs to put her in line. Remember how weak she used to be in season one? Complete 360 from the beginning. Not saying I want to see a weak, scared Rita, but she's getting out of control. She's more like a mother in law than a wife in this season.
