Dexter Season 4 - DISCUSSION THREAD

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.

You really are psychic, aren't you!? Amazing predictions!

And I'd be really disappointed if they did it as a dream...but I just loved this season so I'm sad to see it's over and wouldn't mind to start it up all over again!

I think next season will have Deb snooping around on her bro instead of Quinn. You heard it here.

That makes it more interesting than a repeat of the 'ol Sergeant Doakes scenario.

And you do know that Dexter & Deb are married in real life, right?

That for me, was the biggest shocker of the season!
