Dexter Season 4 - DISCUSSION THREAD

Dang what an ending!!!!

OMG! Damn, I never liked her but to kill her off.....BRUTAL!

My only beef with it is that Dexter's son is just too young to remember any of what happened....unlike when Dexter himself was in the similar situation as a child. He keeps talking throughout the season about 'loss of innocence' but for his son to have lost his innocence (as he had at around age 5 or so), doesn't he have to be older than a year old baby?

Ok, can't stop thinking about this.....and Rita being killed in the bathtub in his home....begs the question....was this the first murder in that home or is this a repetition of a prior murder???? And...had Trinity already started (or finished) his next series of killings???

The boy he kidnapped began that series of murders, then Rita was next, then he never finished the cycle.

Don't think any murders had happened in that house before. She was merely a tool for Trinity to get to Dexter.

Ah yeah, that's right.......or did he??? I wonder if he killed 2 others...(and he wasn't successful with the boy...)

Don't make this too complicated, people. I'd be shocked if there was anything fishy going on in the narrative structure (e.g., a dream). I could be wrong; but I was mostly right about everything else this season, so that's unlikely (see post 34 in this thread). I'm talking to you, David.

I think Andy's questions/guesses are pretty good. I wouldn't be surprised if the older kids go to the grandparents and Deb moves in to help with the baby (and further enrich her relationship with Dexter). I don't think Dexter has to own up to sh*t, though. He's a high-profile person and could, reasonably, be targeted. Hell ... just look at what's happened to Deb in previous seasons (e.g., Ice Truck Killer). That said, it wouldn't surprise me if someone (Quinn) started snooping around/asking questions and Dexter has to do something about that next season.

Wow. What a great end to the season. So many things they can do with the next season now. I hope they follow it up well.

Yeah, I thought the Sopranos was good, but Dexter blows it away. The ending of the Sopranos was a total letdown. Never was able to get into Sons of Anarchy and gave up watching it.

I am a Dexter addict.

Started watching Six Feet Under thru DVD's from Netflix and really like it. Like Dexter I find the characters to be interesting. And for the record I really liked Rita and will miss her. Can't wait for season 5.

I thought Rita was annoying during the last two seasons, but I will miss her too, Frank. Despite being annoying sometimes, I wasn't ready to see her go. Is it just me or did anyone else find her to become more good-looking each season?

I did. I always found her to be the issue that led to some of Dexter's miscues but what significant other wouldn't be even more annoying? Think of it like your own spouse. Would she or would she not be wondering where the hell you are for all these long stretches of time with to say the least sketchy at best excuses?

Exactly. That's why I didn't want to see her die. And it's probably why the ending haunted me for about two days afterward.

On a sidenote, has anyone seen the Dexter: Early Cuts online? I watched one and it wasn't bad. Not a whole lot to it, but it wasn't bad at all.
