Dexter 9.27.09 Season Four [M. Hall has cancer]

[Dexter]

Can't wait!

Anyone here gonna be watching?

[Emerald]

Me! :loveeyes:


:thumbsup:

First/second seasons, I didn't watch. The premise sounded ridiculous. Then, one night, nothing else to do, so I watched it on demand. Been glued to it since.

[Debb]

I have to catch up before I watch the new one. Why does it take so long for these type of shows to come out on DVD. I don't get Showtime, but watch on DVD.

[Hanalei]

Count me in I'm a big fan of Dexter too bad he isn't real!

[withay]

I cannot wait!!!! It's countdown time.

[Crispy]

I'll be watching. It's going to be a nice birthday present to myself!!!

A little preview. I guess it could be a little bit of a spoiler.

[Debb]

You guys are really tempting me. Let's see, do I have enough time to catch up by watching all the missed episodes on DVD and then call and order Showtime by the season premeir???? Maybe.....

[Mandysmom]

I will be waiting!!!! I just finished up season 3 again on demand to refresh my memory on what has happened.

I love the scenario with the baby, Rita and the problems arising with Dexter trying to find time to kill. LOL

Thanks for that but I won't be checking it out. No spoilers for me. :)

Six more days. :D

And an early Happy Birthday to you! :thumbup:

[Riverwalk!]

I watched the S.4 opener. Thoughts??????

[Mandysmom]

I watched the S.4 opener. Thoughts??????

John Lithgow's character is one creeeeepy guy. :scared:

I was surprised by the Lt. and Angel. :ohmy: I'm gonna watch it again tonight on demand and I'll report back more then.

I was trying to watch, set the coffeemaker and hubby wasn't feeling well last night. So I turned the tv off early and now I gotta watch it tonight.

:laugh:

[Dexter]

I watched the S.4 opener. Thoughts??????

Fantastic opening episode. :thumbsup::thumbup:

Didn't take long to introduce John Lithgow's character did it?

The first thing I thought of when the episode ended was: aren't the victim's body parts still in the back of Dexter's S.U.V.?

Uh oh. :ohmy:

[Hanalei]

Yes some of the parts were in the car and I think some fell out. I don't want to give away too much since some haven't watched the whole episode yet. John L is one crazy killer! Poor Dexter I have a feeling he going to slip up more this season having less sleep because of the baby. Great start to season 4

[Roux]

I love Keith Carradine and am happy his character is back.

[withay]

Well, they already have me hooked! I loved Keith Carradine and am glad he is back. I think Lithgow is going to be a great Trinity Killer and am bouncing between cracking up because Dex is sooo tired and being afraid for him because he is sooo tired.:crying:

[Roux]

I so agree with you about being afraid for him!!! LOL, how funny is it that we're terrified that a serial killer is going to get caught??

I am so addicted to this show, now bf is mad he hasn't seen the previous seasons. I think 3 is still available on demand isn't it?

I watched Seasons 1 & 2 at Netflix on the instant play. If you have Netflix that's a really convenient way to watch something that has multiple discs.

Comcast's Showtime On Demand has the first three seasons of Dexter available for viewing right now. :thumbup:

The first half of season one is available until October 6th. The second half is available until October 13th.

The first half of season two is available until October 20th. The second half is available until October 27th.

The first half of season three is available until November 3rd. The second half is available until November 10th.

:)

[Mandysmom]

I finally finished up the episode and oh gosh what is gonna happen? lol

Poor Dexter. Loved it when he said that serial killers are usually loners, unmarried with no families with good reason. LOL

I never thought I'd bond with a serial killer, but I have.

:laugh:

[happyalice]

I think John Lithgow is going to be perfect in this role. I can't wait to see what happens! We just got caught up at the end of season 3 since we didn't have Showtime for last year's season.

[Debb]

I can't wait to see this season. I'm working on catching up on last season.

I love John Lithgow so this will be great.

[Dexter]

The very end of episode two made me laugh out loud. :)

It was good to see Benny, wasn't it?

I decided to rent from Netflix and have one more DVD to go in order to finish with Season 3. I really have loved it so far. I look foward to getting started on Season 4!

I thought Jimmy Smits and his DA character were great in season 3.

[Debb]

I thought Jimmy Smits and his DA character were great in season 3.

Don't you know it! Jimmy was so good! You could just tell that the other actors were in heaven on screen with this guy. I think the quality of his work caused the other actors to raise their game too.

Wasn't he on The West Wing a few years ago? He is just a wonderful actor IMO.

Don't know about West Wing as I never watched it, but he was on NYPD Blue for a while.

Isn't it weird to think about Dex and Deb being married in real life!

[Debb]

It is strange to think about Dexter and Deb. I look at then closely when they are doing scenes together and try to see if there is any hint of romance. I don't think I see it. I love Deb's character. I'm near the end of Season 3 and it is good to see her pulling more tools than just a hammer out of her tool chest. LOL. I remember Dexter from Six Feet Under. He was great there too! He played gay so well, it was hard to stop thinking of him that way.

Jimmy Smits was on West Wing for awhile. I googled him and he started out playing LE in Miami Vice the series!!! He was Don Johnson's partner before the other guy. I didn't know that. He then went on to play in LA Law. That show was huge in the 1980's. That is where I got a huge crush on him. He later went on to NYPD Blue. I cried when he died on that show. I also saw that he had been in quite a few movies including Star Wars movies.

[Hanalei]

John Lithgow's as a serial killer gives me the creeps:laugh:

Thankgod Dexter remembered where he hid the body. Any bets that Deb will cheat on the new b/f with the old one?

I can't wait to see this season. I'm working on catching up on last season.

I love John Lithgow so this will be great.

[Hanalei]

I have to agree Jimmie play a great evil DA. I was so happy when Dexter killed him he was getting out of control and didn't stick with Dexter's code of killing.

I've loved him since LA Law all those years ago. Victor. :drool: I still dvr that series on some channel, ALN I think is the name.

I still am just entertained by those characters and storylines as I was back then. lol

[sunflowerseeds]

Anyone watch tonight? OMGosh - one of my favorite episodes EVER! Cannot figure out what Lundy is up to...does he know Dex is the Bay Harbor Butcher? Oh, and Rita seeing him busting out the motion lights? I think he will tell her he was going to maybe try to catch the vandal...hope he gets out of that mess!

[Hanalei]

I wonder what he will tell Rita about the lights? I don't think Lundy knows about Dexter well at least not right now.

[sunflowerseeds]

I would love to see the series finale have Dexter kill Rita...she is so freaking annoying this season. Seriously? She called the doctor and he told her confidential patient information?

[Crispy]

Rita is killing this season for me. I'm not sure why they are writing her like this, but it's annoying me to no end!

It's a good thing that I have John Lithgow to fall back on because none of the other stories are doing anything for me.

[Dexter]

It is becoming obvious to me that Lundy does recognize what Dexter truly is.

Whenever Lundy speaks to Dexter about the Trinity Killer, Lundy always repeats the same mantra: "not enough evidence"

Now.... all of us that watch the show know what Dexter does when there is "not enough evidence." Dexter takes care of "justice" himself.

That is what I see happening here. It seems Lundy is leading Dexter into this case for the sole purpose of Dexter taking care of it because law enforcement cannot.

For those who doubt my theory above... watch the facial expressions coming from Lundy when he speaks with Dexter. Listen closely to the words Lundy uses.

And, of course, you will notice that when Lundy and Dexter were discussing this case while the dummies were being thrown from the warehouse... Lundy includes Dexter when Lundy speaks about the "thrill of the hunt" and "thats what kind of people we are."

And finally... why would Lundy seek out a blood spatter expert to help him with this case? Dexter is not a detective. He's not even a police officer.

So... as I stated above... I do believe Lundy is on to Dexter's true nature. And I believe Lundy might very well know of Dexter's past. Meaning... I believe Lundy knows about Dexter's mother being murdered in front of him, Dexter's brother (Ice Truck Killer), and the fact that Dexter's father took Dexter in as one of his own when he found Dexter in the puddle of his own mother's blood.

Alas... all of the above is just a theory of mine. :)

Now... what the hell are the writer's doing to Rita's character?!?

Here is a woman who has been a mother for, what, ten years now? The moment she has a newborn she becomes über-b!tch. She is treating Dexter as if he were a child.

Something's gotta give with Rita's character. The writers are destroying her part in this series.

[Dexter]

Well... last night's episode was a doozy.

While watching the episode, I was thinking that Lundy was going to somehow become the Trinity Killer's next victim.

And then the episode ends the way it did. :ohmy:

I believe both will survive. But if not... Debbie will be the only one to survive.

[Debb]

I can't wait to get on board for this season. I just finised watching last season's finale. It was very good!

I just switched from HBO to Showtime. I guess I'll have to wait until next week for the next episode. I was told by Time Warner I could catch up by On Demand. I hope that's true. I can't wait!!!!

OMG I was so upset, as I love Keith Carradine. (Had a flashback of Deadwood when his character left too soon.) Deb will pull through for sure, IMO, because she is too important for Dexter and the storyline.

That female cop was so nasty and wicked. I loved it when Dexter got the better of her.

And go down to the right hand side of the screen for "extended scenes".
I was flabbergasted when Lundy and Deb were shot also.

[Emerald]

I downsized my Direct tv. Missed ALL of the Dexter season.:crying:

I like just about all the premium channel series (Weeds, Entourage, etc.), but the only ones I really MISS are Dexter and Big Love.

Will re-instate it for a few months after the first of the year.

Thanks for the commentary.

[Debb]

I am so EXCITED!!! I just found out that the guy who plays Dexter (Michael C. Hall) was born and raised in my town of Raleigh, NC!!! His mom still works at a local high school! I thought I picked up something with his accent. I hope he comes home to visit from time to time. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for him.

Just a heads up: Big Love is supposed to begin in January. Keep your eyes open on the HBO website for an exact date.

[doctor_J]

Anyone watching Dexter tonight? I missed the entire season and it's being redone tonight in a 4 hour Dexter marathon on Showtime.

I don't get Showtime but I've just finished watching Season 1 on the 101 Direct Tv right before Season 4 began. Then last week I got to rent Season 2 and 3. Then, I got this solicitation call from DD because I had just downgraded my service. Just before I hung up on him, I heard him offer me all DD programming including all premium movie channels for $4/month for 5 months. The catch? They want to get me hooked so I'll sign up. The cost? $179/mo. Got to be kidding. Didn't know anyone paid that much for TV, lol.

Point being, I got the 5 months for 4 dollars and tonight I get to catch up on Season 4. I'm hooked on this show. Is that disturbing or what?? I love this character and the whole bunch (just for entertainment value).

OOps, starting right now!

[doctor_J]

Darn, I just realized from the website videos that I've missed Episode 11 and 12 of Season 3 so there's a gap for me. I've watched something like 32 hours of Dexter the last 3 days and now I realize Blockbuster missed one when I ordered. There must be one DVD with only the last 2 episodes on it.

I love this guy playing the Trinity killer. He's a super creepy bad guy. Jimmie Smits was better than I expected also (boy he's gotten fat since Law and Order, lol).

Lila was a great character. Nothing scarier than an obsessed ex.

I like Deb better the longer I watch. Didn't like her at first. Don't like Rita at all and she's getting worse. All that bitchiness she blamed on "hormones". So constantly needy. I can't see the series letting him kill her off though, but I'm hoping they figure out a way.

[StarShine]

I can't imagine watching and enjoying a serial killer. So I turned the show on, the Marathon to see just exactly what I am missing. I find it ironic how this show is popular with posters who normally are looking for punishment for murderers. I am just confused.:confused::confused::huh: So guess I'll have to watch it to see why.

[doctor_J]

OK, I've watched all 4 seasons this week and that kinda makes them run together.

When did Batista break up with the vice cop? I thought they had something good going.

The Lt. has grown on me, kinda of like Deb. But not Rita, I hated her character from the start.

Deb's surely gonna cheat on the boyfriend and he's such a great guy.

Batista and the Vice cop broke up after the wedding and before this season started. Someone asked Batista about her in the first episode and he just said something about "moving on". I liked her too but have him and Maria together keeps the cast tighter. Deb has grown on me also. Did you know that the actress that plays her is now married to Michael Anthony Hall (Dexter)? Rita is such a dunce to me but anyone else would figure out Dexter so I guess she has her purpose...

[doctor_J]

Thanks withay. Thought I was all alone talking to myself.


Rita is so manipulating in a passive aggressive sort of way. And not a believable character either. She really is a weak point in the show but maybe you're right. I love Batista and starting to really like the Lt. What the heck is up with Quinn? Why won't he leave Dexter alone? He's too dumb to be on to him but what's up with the friendly overtures?

Deb and Lundy together is almost creepy in itself. To much like incest. I'm in Episode 3 now and she's lusting for Lundy still (even though I know he gets killed in the next show). I haven't figured out this episodes victim yet.

[doctor_J]

Well, now I'm all caught up on Dexter and good for the next 5 months which will get me thru the season before Direct Tv cuts me off.

I hear the theme song in my sleep. 4 Seasons in ONE WEEK. Not a good idea but I enjoyed it. I'm totally hooked.

[doctor_J]

I can't figure out what kept Dex from being caught when the bodies were found from the plastic. Wonder what he does with it? Just one hair with the follicle would identify him inside the plastic. I wonder if his DNA would be in the system for elimination just like his fingerprints? He doesn't even wear a hairnet when he "works" on his kills.

[Noah]

Did you know that the actress that plays her is now married to Michael Anthony Hall (Dexter)?


Here's a picture....http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20251400,00.html

Weddings ~ Dexter Siblings Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter Are Now Real-Life Spouses

Don't worry folks, it's legal. They may play brother and sister on Dexter, but in real life Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter were lawfully wed on New Year's Eve, according to Hall's rep, Craig Bankey. The outdoor ceremony was held in Big Sur.

Dexter only kills evil people or people who have evaded the justice system. It seems to me that recently the gore has been slightly less than at the beginning of the series. The only "innocent" person I can remember that Dex did away with was the cop who was on to him. Didn't watch marathon so I can't remember his name.

For me, I just love all the characters (except Rita LOL) and think the scripts are so well written.

I guess I just don't get it!! :shrug:

[Debb]

I can relate to all of you who crammed in seasons to catch up. I did it and then switched over to Showtime to catch up with this season.

Last night was great! Dexter must get Trinity. I can't figure out Tinity. He's such a cold blooded killer. Did he really kill Lundy or did someone else do it such as Deb's boyfriend, and we are being thrown off?

Poor Deb. What a potty mouth on that girl. LOL.

I can see that Rita is not popular on this board, but I really like her. I mean what kind of a personality would work in that role? I think she has just the right mix. I can't see a easy way to get rid of her now, unless she and Dexter separate. I guess that is possible.

Any guesses on how Dexter convinces Rita to let him keep his apt.?

[Mandysmom]

I love Rita! She's the perfect match for Dexter, if there is a perfect match for him. lol

I am of the mind, that Anton might have done the shooting, but I hope not. I like him and Deb together.

Trinity is such a creepshow. They sure picked the right one to play his part. :scared:

The murder that Trinity committed last night was very gory. And all Dexter could do was watch it happen. He was running a little late. I guess.

I sincerely hope Rita and Dexter separate. I don't see any way that Rita will allow Dexter to keep the apartment. And I also don't see any way that Dexter could convince Rita to let him keep the apartment. Shy of telling her the truth, that is.

But really... Dexter started dating Rita to "normalize." Dexter married Rita (and the kids) to "normalize." Dexter is a sociopath. He knew he needed something that would make him look and act normal to others.

If Dexter and Rita were to divorce, Dexter would still have that.

I'm not saying I want Rita written out of the show.

On the sociopath subject... surely those watching have noticed Dexter is starting to "care" about others in his life. Once in last week's episode and once in last night's episode.

Back to Trinity... does anyone think Dexter will lay off Trinity for a while just because Trinity turns out to be a married father?

In Dexter's words... he's "like me."

I think Trinity is killing his own family (himself included) in effigy when he commits his murders. Look forward to finding out the truth about the "ritual," though.

[Roux]

Dexter, as soon as I watched that scene with Trinity last night I knew my words would come back to haunt me!

[Dexter]

I love Rita! She's the perfect match for Dexter, if there is a perfect match for him. lol

I am of the mind, that Anton might have done the shooting, but I hope not. I like him and Deb together.

Trinity is such a creepshow. They sure picked the right one to play his part. :scared:

Watching the show last night, it never occurred to me that Anton might have shot Deb and Lundy.

You and Debb (the poster) might have a point there.

I was very disappointed to find that Lundy did indeed die. As I've said before, I stay away from spoilers and I don't even watch the next episode's preview.

Before the end of last night's episode, I was hoping we would see more of Lundy through Dexter's listening of Lundy's tapes.

But now... Dexter knows exactly who Trinity is and where he lives.

I don't see any reason why Dexter would still listen to all of Lundy's tapes. Darn it.

[Dexter]

Dexter, as soon as I watched that scene with Trinity last night I knew my words would come back to haunt me!

Yep.

I thought of your post as soon as the scene started.

I think the biggest mystery of this season will be why Trinity murders. What is the "ritual?"

[Justice4all]

This season IMO is the best so far......

[Mandysmom]

Yep.

I thought of your post as soon as the scene started.

I'm with you on that one. What exactly is his "ritual?"

Does anybode besides me wonder where the affair with Harry and Dexter's mother will lead to?

I'm thinking that Dexter is Harry's biological child. That would explain to me at least, why he adopted Dex and left the other child.

Maybe I just think too much. lol

Oh and Dexter didn't actually kill Doaks. He was struggling with finding a solution besides killing him when that crazy woman he was sleeping with found Doaks and blew the place up.

:thumbup: So far, Dexter has only killed people by "the code" right?

[Roux]

Oh Mom, you're right...I'd forgotten the exact circumstances of Doaks, so that means Dexter hasn't gone outside his code. At least as far as I can remember. :huh:

[StarShine]

It's fiction.

LOL like I didn't know....

[Debb]

Perhaps Dexter will keep his apt and let Deb live there. He can use it when she is at work or on a date, once she recovers sufficiently of course; or
He could start a hobby that calls for him to need a quiet space like bomb making, LOL; or
He could convince Rita that he is working undercover and he needs it for top secret reasons that Deb doesn't even know about; or
He could plead with her that he needs it for mental health reasons. She has confirmed it isn't for drugs or women; or
He could move everything onto his boat for privacy.

Oh, does he use his air conditioner? I don't understand how he runs it with the blood slides inside. ????

Did you watch season one? Harry is not Dexter's bio father. The man's name escapes me at the moment.....

[Justice4all]

Dexter's real dad was Joe Driscoll, he died of suspected heart failure but was probably killed by ice truck guy

[Hanalei]

I called it Deb cheated! And then she gets him killed!:cursing: I bet it was Anton that did it to look like the vacation murders.

John Lithgow's as a serial killer gives me the creeps:laugh:

Thankgod Dexter remembered where he hid the body. Any bets that Deb will cheat on the new b/f with the old one?

[Hanalei]

All I know is I truely look foward to Dexter having his way with the scumbags that hurt others. He is the only serial killer I like


Well I feel asleep so I didn't really get to see the entire show. However killing is killing, isn't it? I don't know if I truly could enjoy the show. I know people rave about House too but somehow a doctor who abuses drugs isn't someone I want treating me...LOL

For me, I just love all the characters (except Rita LOL) and think the scripts are so well written.

The cop you are talking about was Doakes and while Dexter did imprison Doakes and think about killing him, that is not what happened.
Lila exploded the cabin with Doakes inside. Then Dexter followed Lila to Paris and killed her for killing an innocent (Doakes).

Dexter accidently killed Jimmy Smits' brother (Oscar) but I think that is the only innocent that he has killed. And he did that after Oscar pulled a knife on him.

I was reading on another board a thread that questions about the man that Trinity cursed at and practically begged to get beaten up by in the alley? Trinity kept standing there and calling the man names that I can't print here. The guy eventually beat the tar out of Trinity. Why did Tinity do this? His face looked all confused. Why? I have a theory. Trinity suffers from multiple personality disorder and the family man who returned home Sunday night, has no memory of what the other personality is doing. Perhaps there is a different personality for each murder. And the Trinity personality in the alley? Who knows which one he was. LOL
Just a theory.

I'm not sure what exactly is the ritual with Trinity. But it is obvious to me that there is a very specific sequence of events that has to happen at very specific times. To me, he is re-inacting something that seems to involve 1) a young woman...a sister or girl friend, 2) his mother,3) a man and 4) his father. And since Dexter and Lundy did not know about the step where Trinity gets beat up, there is a good possibility that there are even more steps to the ritual. But since they do not end in murder, Lundy never found out about them.

[Hanalei]

Did you see the look on his face when he say the news that Lundy was dead? He looked surprised and that makes me think he didn't shoot Deb and Lundy. I think now that Anton did it.

[Debb]

Are you referring to Trinity looking surprised when he saw it on tv? I think I recall that. Wasn't he sitting in a diner? Maybe Trinity did do it, except that one of his personalities doesn't remember. I hate the beat to death (pardon the pun) my theory that Trinity has multiple personalities, but did you catch when the security guard offered Trinity a cup of coffee and Trinity said No thank you, it turns me into a different person. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. Time shall tell.

[Dexter]

I must take back my previous words regarding Dexter and Rita separating. Excellent solution on tonight's episode. :)

It seems Dexter is going to allow Arthur (Trinity) to live a little longer. Looks like Dexter is researching Arthur so Dexter can learn to fit into society in the successful way Arthur has.

The revelation of Arthur's sister, mother, and father was a welcome development to the plot. I like where this season is going.

All in all, I think tonight's episode might be this season's best. And no one was killed.

[Hanalei]

Yes now we know why Trinity kills and the pattern. I wonder if Trinity will catch on to Dexter? And will Deb get in the way of Dexter's plans.

After I watched it again I wonder if Trinity's sister killed herself and her mother killed herself after the girl died and Trinity's dad died because Trinity killed him because he was molesting his sister. Trinity looked so angry when Dexter had her ashes and he said "don't touch my sister" I don't know if this is what happened to Trinity's family but it's just a theory.

That is a great theory!!! It would fit into place too!!! I think you may have nailed it.
That would explain why he was cursing at the man in the alley and calling him names. Perhaps he was reenacting the way his father treated him when he was a child. The tub scene could be from when he found his sister after she committed suicide and perhaps his mother killed herself by jumping off of a building. Maybe he beat his father to death. I look forward to see how this comes together!

Last night was good, although Rita better lighten up. She has gotten on my last nerve. Does she annoy anybody else? If it's not going her way, she is a pain. Something tells me something strange from her past will come up in the future about her secret first husband.

[Hanalei]

Yeah Rita is annoying lol! I bet Dexter will be killing more just to release the stress!

[Dexter]

This season is getting better and better.

I have to say though, Dexter's dad's appearances are going a little overboard. It used to be Dexter's "conscience" was his own "Dark Passenger."

Now it seems Dexter's dad is taking the place of his "conscience."

Anyway... Dexter killed an innocent man! Or did he? Will Dexter delve into the photographer's past to find something, anything to justify Dexter killing him?

And we now have a new Doakes in the form of Quinn. When Quinn's character was first introduced I didn't like him at all. Just when his character began to grow on me, the writers switch it all up. I have a feeling Quinn will end up catching Dexter in the act or something similar. Like maybe finding the blood samples hidden in Deb's (used to be Dexter's) new apartment. No matter what happens, Quinn will have to be taken out of the picture sooner or later.

On the subject of Deb... I knew all along that it was only a matter of time before she found out the truth about where Dexter came from.

Can you imagine how pissed off she's going to be when she finds out that Dexter is the Ice Truck Killer's brother? Deb was in love with that guy! He tried to kill Deb. Dexter saved her. If the writers leave this plot line to be fulfilled next season, I will be highly disappointed.

On the subject of the Trinity Killer (Arthur). Not to toot my own horn but I called that one. Dexter is trying to learn from him before he kills him. I'm afraid that Dexter won't be able to do that before Arthur gets another kill. Dexter needs to kill Arthur before Arthur kills again.

That's all I got for now. Anyone else have any thoughts about last night's episode?

Oh yeah. One more thing. I think Batista and LaGuerta will start up again. In secret. Bad move if they do though.

For the readers out there, I suggest the books. The first book is what season one is based on. The book was released well before Showtime decided to make a series.

The books, written by Jeff Lindsay, in order of publication:

Darkly Dreaming Dexter

Dearly Devoted Dexter

Dexter In The Dark

I still have yet to read Dexter In The Dark.

[Roux]

Dex, you've been reading my mind...my thoughts exactly on Quinn.

My thoughts on Dexter's mistake - killing an innocent? IMO more will be revealed. How could he make a fatal error like that; gotta be more to it.

Since you called it on Trinity, what do think about the coffin? Could it be for "Kyle" ? Mayhap Arthur has recognized himself in Dexter and believes he needs to be stopped?

That baby is so darned cute and I loved the way he reached out to Dexter's hand when he was in the highchair. Also enjoyed seeing Dexter giving him the bottle.

[Debb]

Great show last night. What is Trinity building? Dexter needs parenting classes. You can't leave kids alone, even though another adult was supervising. If his son had gotten sick and Dexter wasn't there, Rita would have killed him!

Ref. the blood samples in air conditioner. I thought Dexter moved the slides to the air conditioner in his new backyard office air conditioner. Remember when he turned it on the first time with the odd look on his face.

I heard a rumor that Deb the sister is leaving the show. Is this true?

I'm getting sick of Dexter's dad. It's too much of him. The best talking is when Dexter talks to himself. His father talking to him he is okay in small doses.

[doctor_J]

I think the writers got the hint that many fans (like me) were about fed up with Rita's whining and neediness and let up with that last night.

I think Trinity is building a coffin for his daughter. I think the time and her age is coming right for him to complete the "perfect' reenactment of the original trauma. Remember, he insisted on cutting his own lumber (the lumber yard wound not do) and he got hot under the collar when Dex asked why. Also, Trinity gets very emotional and obsessed when he's working on it. It must be perfect.

I don't get why they're letting Dex get so careless. He left a trail of evidence with the photographer. Also, why is he suddenly going for killers that are in LE sights anyway. He started out just going after killers that had escaped justice. The last ones haven't even gone to trial. Maybe it's because Doakes was right. Dexter is out of control. He's also forgotten rule #1---Don't get caught. He really rushed that photog job instead of getting more evidence. The stress of family life and Rita's demands are making him escalate and become careless. He also seems to be trying to prove Harry was wrong about a lot and it's getting him in trouble.

[Debb]

Doctor J,

You are right about the wood. I had forgotten how pesky he got about it. What did you think about not being able to kill the wounded deer? I'm still holding out on my multiple personality theory.

I think he will dig further into this last kill and discover that the guy was a killer after all of some victim that maybe LE doesn't even know about it.

Remimd me; Why does Dexter not want his sister to know the identity of his mother?

[withay]

If Deb finds out who Dexter's mother was, then she will also find out that there was another child who Harry did not adopt. The child that grew up to become the Ice Truck Killer, her lover and Dexter's brother.
And she will learn about what Dexter was exposed to (his mother's murder) as a child.

[Hanalei]

I saw that the next episode it looks like Trinity opens up more to Dexter and shows him the bathtub where his sister died. I will be interesting to see how his sister died if she killed herself or someone killed her. I'm also wondering who the coffin is for? You say it's for his daughter? Then will his wife be next and then Trinity since he is the father of 2 kids?

[Emerald]

I down sized my Direct TV to basic cable. MISS MY DEXTER! :crying:

Guess I'll add it back for a few months after the first of the year. Will catch him on reruns. Also Big Love.

Love reading the comments here. Keep them coming.:wub:

[Dexter]

I have all 3 books and still haven't finished the first one. Are the other books like the Showtime episodes?

The second and third books are not what Showtime based the second and third seasons on. The second and third books have nothing to do with the series. But... one subplot from the second book is in the second season. And that is... that Doakes is suspicious of Dexter. There's more, but I don't want to ruin the book for you.



READ NO FURTHER AS THERE IS A BOOK SPOILER:

In the first book, Debra discovers her brother's secret (and in future novels does not expose him), and LaGuerta is killed in the climactic confrontation.

As we all know, LaGuerta is alive and well in the series. And Debra has no clue about Dexter's beginnings. In the second book, Dearly Devoted Dexter, Dexter discovers that Cody and Astor share Dexter's need to kill and he helps them by teaching them the code of Harry. Their need to kill was brought on by their abusive father, Paul Bennett.

Of course, in the series, Cody and Astor are just normal kids.

Dexter ~ Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexter_%28TV_series%29)

[Dexter]

This season IMO is the best so far......

When I first saw your above post I didn't agree with you. No offense. :)

Now I have to say I think you're right. And I think John Lithgow's character has plenty to do with it.

Last night's episode was fantastic. As the episode played, when they showed Arthur (Trinity) wiping down the coffin that he built, it hit me right then. Arthur built his own coffin. I noticed the size of it as he was wiping it down and I was thinking "that coffin is just about the size of Arthur."

I never did think Trinity shot Deb and shot and killed Lundy. And now I have to accept my friend Crispy's theory. That damn reporter sure as heck shot them both for the story alone to save her job. But I still wonder... if she meant to kill Deb. So Crispy, I'm with you for now on that theory.

The scene where Arthur was about to kill himself... just great. Of course, I'm thinking "no way." John Lithgow is a major character this season, no way will they kill him off so early. Yet, for a few seconds there, I thought it was really gonna happen. Turns out Trinity is killing his family in effigy. But I had the wrong family members in mind when I posted the same thought originally.

On to Quinn. The new Doakes. Vince has now given him information about Dexter's past. Guaranteed he's going to look up Lila and find her missing. I wonder now if there will be 2 "final confrontations" at the end of this season.

Of course, there is still another serial killer out there this season that isn't getting the attention he/she(?) deserves. The Tourist murderer. Yeah. I added "she" in there for Crispy. :) If Crispy's theory is right, then I believe that damn reporter has been killing the tourists all along.

Maybe 3 "final confrontations" this season? Although, Quinn could be the one to bring the reporter down. She might accidentally say something to Quinn only the shooter/killer would know.

Batista and LaGuerta. I knew they'd do it but I was still thinking "what the hell are they compromising their career's for?"

And to Starshine: this show is a morality play. It is about a serial killer. Yes. But it is about a serial killer who kills those who kill innocents. If Dexter didn't kill the people he kills, more innocent people would be murdered. But I'll give you this one, as far as we know right now, Dexter did kill one innocent person.

So what did everyone else think about last night's episode and the direction this season is going?

[Debb]

I wonder what Dexter will do when he gets word that it wasn't Trinity who shot his sister. Why didn't they calculate the bullet projectory in the beginning. I sometimes wonder about that dept. Not as smart as you would think.

Also, what about Rita? That woman is something else. Are they opening up a way for Rita to leave? If that happens it would free Dexter up again to spend more time on his hobby. LOL.

I was rather mystified with the haphazard way Dexter took off with Trinity. Very risky IMO. It's probably good things didn't go through. Dexter is trying to do things fast as opposed to correct. Big mistake.


I still think he will discover that the guy he killed did murder some innocent person in his past.

[Roux]

John Lithgow is great and I would certainly take nothing away from him or this season, BUT I do think I liked the season with Jimmy Smits better. Might change my mind tho as things progress.

I knew the wholesome, family man facade of Arthur was too good to be true, and apparently next episode his son is going to let Dexter in on what goes on behind closed doors. That will give Dexter even more fuel to exact "justice."

When Dexter was outfitting the motel bathroom in anticipation of dismembering Arthur, I thought of the Melanie McGuire case. Did anyone else follow that trial and make a connection?

Debb, IDK about Rita. Think the flirtation with next door neighbor will bloom into a full affair? Will he have some hidden past? Remember the first husband, then Dexter...she picks dangerous men!

[Crispy]

Rita playing house with the neighbor was quite interesting. Hopefully she'll walk across that front yard and never come back!!

I had a feeling the reporter was the shooter and I think her and Quinn are going to be on Dexter's table before the season is over.

Oh and I cracked up when Dexter was explaining the benefits of the weather conference!

[Mandysmom]

Watching the show last night, it never occurred to me that Anton might have shot Deb and Lundy.

You and Debb (the poster) might have a point there.

I was very disappointed to find that Lundy did indeed die. As I've said before, I stay away from spoilers and I don't even watch the next episode's preview.

Before the end of last night's episode, I was hoping we would see more of Lundy through Dexter's listening of Lundy's tapes.

But now... Dexter knows exactly who Trinity is and where he lives.

I don't see any reason why Dexter would still listen to all of Lundy's tapes. Darn it.
I was disappointed that Lundy died too. I wanted him to get suspicious of Dexter so I could come to dislike him a bit. lol

Now I've got Quinn to contend with following Dex around.

Ooh and now Dexter has done the unthinkable, killed an innocent person. :scared:

[Mandysmom]

Did you watch season one? Harry is not Dexter's bio father. The man's name escapes me at the moment.....

Yeah, I remember that now. They went to clean out the house. :blushing:

Well shoot, I was hoping that Harry would turn out to be the bio dad.

[Hanalei]

Well I was part right the mother killed herself and Trinity killed his father but not because he abused his sister but because he was abused by the father.


After I watched it again I wonder if Trinity's sister killed herself and her mother killed herself after the girl died and Trinity's dad died because Trinity killed him because he was molesting his sister. Trinity looked so angry when Dexter had her ashes and he said "don't touch my sister" I don't know if this is what happened to Trinity's family but it's just a theory.

[Hanalei]

Dexter did kill an innocent person but the guy was an a hole so I really won't miss him.



When I first saw your above post I didn't agree with you. No offense. :)

Now I have to say I think you're right. And I think John Lithgow's character has plenty to do with it.

WOW..great episode

That's really all I can say (at least until everyone else has watched LOL)

[sunflowerseeds]

Oh My Freaking GAWD....loved this episode. I am impatient, so I am totally spoiled about stuff with this show, but to hear Christine call Arthur "dad" sent CHILLS up my spine!!!:scared: Oh, how I wish Dexter would have killed Arthur right then and there, but no way was that going to happen.....three more episodes????NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:angry:

[Justice4all]

OMG..................I just watched it
I think Christine killed Lundy :ohmy:
I'm in shock............

[Justice4all]

This ( IMO ) is the best season so far..........
Every week keeps me wanting more.
Only three episodes left :sad:

[withay]

I was looking on IMDB for the name of the actress that plays Trinity's wife and noticed something else. Her characrter's name is Sally Simmons (not Mitchell) and Rebecca is listed as Rebecca Simmons though Jonah is listed as Jonah Mitchell. And now we have a Christine Hill. I am wondering if Trinity also has had more than one family?

[Debb]

I was shocked when she said Dad too. Does she know he is Trinity? Is that why she killed Lundy or was that for the story only? I have so many questions!

Also, what about Rita and the neighbor guy? Will Dexter's co-worker, I can't recall his name right now, reveal what he saw? This puts the guy in a bad situation, however, this guy has no trouble speaking his mind, most of the time.

Dexter must get his act together. Is he having terrible luck or what? He is making me really nevous with all this uncertainty.

How is Dexter going to distance himself from the family after he kills TRinity? No matter what happens, (suicide, murder or disappearance), LE will be investigating. They will ask about people with whom Trinity had been friends and the fake ID of Dexter will come up. I'm curious to see how they resolve this issue.

[Dexter]

One disappointing scene was when Christine said those words to Deb. Deb is a DETECTIVE for goodness' sake! It should of hit her right then like it did the viewer!

I'm thinking along the same lines as withay above. Trinity has another family.

Vince will definitely tell Dexter about Rita's kiss with the neighbor. I think.

I especially liked the scene when Dexter found Trinity's self built coffin. Dexter thinks to himself (and to us the viewers) "you'll be buried at sea."

I have a feeling Jonah knows his dad has another family. Possibly more than one.

I have to say though, that if we didn't find out about Christine's connection to Trinity, what a ridiculous storyline that was turning out to be. Without Trinity connected to her, we'd have some random psycho reporter killing tourists. If the storyline stayed the way I thought it was going I would have been disappointed. Unrealistic.

[Debb]

Has there ever been an episode in which Dexter has to testify in court? I think I've see them all and can't recall one.

[Roux]

I've got to watch again...I totally missed Christine calling Arthur dad. Must have been thinking about my Thanksgiving grocery shopping list, what with Rita rattling off her menu.

Boy that scene at Arthur's was intense. Those supporting actors who play his family did a good job.

[Roux]

Has there ever been an episode in which Dexter has to testify in court? I think I've see them all and can't recall one.

Yeah, he did. I can't remember all the details but he brought the wrong case file and was embarrassed.

[Dexter]

Has there ever been an episode in which Dexter has to testify in court? I think I've see them all and can't recall one.

I think it happened in the first episode of this season.

What Roux says above is what happened. Wrong case file.

[Mandysmom]

I think it happened in the first episode of this season.

What Roux says above is what happened. Wrong case file.

You're right. He messed up because of all the distractions in his life. He has testified before also but I can't remember the details.

I am just :scared:about the episode from last night!

:thumbsup:

[withay]

I am pretty sure Dexter testified in one of the first episodes in the first season. It was a guy who kept killing people in DUI accidents and changed his name when he moved from another state so he could get a "clean start".He was aquitted at his trial or just got a slap on the wrist because it was his "first offense". I am pretty sure it was one of the first times we saw Dexter kill someone.

[Debb]

Thanks. I'll have to watch on demand. I missed the first or second episode of this season. I do remember the story of the habitual drunk driver awhile ago though. It's just fuzzy.

How do you think Dexter will react if he finds out about the neighbor kissing Rita? Will he conduct a thorough investigation on this guy to determine if there are grounds to kill him? Is it best for he and Rita to split and allow her to be with someone who is more home oriented than Dexter? Is it right to allow this man to raise Harrison? Maybe Dexter can use this knowledge to his benefit to garner more freedom from Rita for his extracuricula activites. Just wondering.....

[Justice4all]

Well that kept me on the edge of my seat :scared:

[withay]

It is hard to believe but I think that each season gets better than the one before it! I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!:thumbsup:

[Roux]

Well that kept me on the edge of my seat :scared:

Edge of my seat and a nervous wreck with Dexter's intense search for Arthur and Scott. :w00t:

After last night's episode I've gotta take back my comment of a couple of weeks ago that I wasn't sure, but this season IS better than the Jimmy Smits season. So depressing only 2 episodes left.

[Mandysmom]

I love that the LE found out that Christine is Trinity's daughter. Quinn seemed to be kind of pizzed though. :laugh:

I wonder how Dexter is going to react to the news of the kiss also. Maybe Masuka sp? will decide not to tell him. I don't think he will want a divorce though.

Seems to me Dexter is beginning to love being a father and husband even if it is stressful and time consuming.

I don't think he wants his family to become like Trinity's. :scared:

I've only started watching Dexter early this summer. I watched seasons 1-3 on On Demand. I don't support taking the law into your own hands at all, but I'm totally hooked on this show. Dexter is such an interesting character to watch. And I dare say he's sexy too! :thumbsup:

[Hanalei]

I wonder what's the reason why Trinity kidnaps a young boy? Last nights episode was great and Dexter saved that little boy from being cemented in the ground forever.

I don't know, but isn't Dexter's stepson about the same age? Cuz now I'm worried that Trinity will go after him. :scared:

What a great show Sunday night! I was so excited. I thought I would jump out of my skin. I really don't like it when they have a child as the potential victim. That really bothers me. I'm glad all turned out well. Wonder how Dexter mangaed to get the boy to safety without tipping them off of his identity.

WARNING POSSIBLE SPOILER BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




I'm going to go out on a limb here. You know how some of you posted earlier that you think Trinity has more that the two familes we know about? I have a theory. I wonder if Trinity will turn out to be the father of Rita's ex-husband? Remember, this week when Rita said the children's paternal grandparents had called and wanted to take the kids to Disney World. Dexter said he had never met them before and was it safe. Rita said, that they were lovely people and that her ex-husband was the black sheep of the family. Is the paternal grandfather Trinity? Would Dexter be killing the kids grandfather if he kills this guy? I know it 's wild, but it just hit me for some reason.

The previews say that we won't see the big twist until the final scene of the season. It must be a pretty big twist!!!

[Justice4all]

I seriously spilled my tea during the suicide scene. I just didn't see it coming ............

[Debb]

You and me both! I enjoyed the show, but I must admit that there are a lot of holes in the storylines lately. Why wouldn't the police have looked at Christine's phone records and discovered who she was taking to? It would have showed that she talked to her dad quite a bit. Of course, I guess she may have had a an untraceable phone. Did anyone see anything that mentioned that? And why wait so long to put a stakeout on her apartment? Why didn't question her neigbors regarding people who had visited her apartment?

What about video survellience of her apartment and the video arcade where Trinity picked up the the little boy last week? Surely a parking garage directly in front of a place frequented by children would have video security.

I also didn't buy how easy it was for Trinity to walk in, steal a pass and snoop at the photos in the detectives office. Too much IMO, but I still like the show.

[withay]

I wonder what's the reason why Trinity kidnaps a young boy? Last nights episode was great and Dexter saved that little boy from being cemented in the ground forever.

He's creating his childhood family and killing them off. He (Trinity) is the 10 year old boy. He was 10 when his sister died. The girl in the bathtub is his sister, the woman who jumps is his mother and the man is his father.

[Crispy]

15 minutes to go!! I'm so excited!

I forgot to mention before that I think Deb's acting has been way better this season. She does emotional pretty well. Also Dexters "Trucker Talk" made me bust out laughing! I almost fell over when he said Petercar. Reminded me of my husband. LOL

I wonder how Harrison's life will turn out now.

Darn I have so many questions. :crying:

[Noah]

Do you think it's possible Dexter will be arrested for Rita's death?

I was wondering that, but decided "no" after watching it the 2nd time.

They'll just think that Trinity cleared out his bank accounts, killed Rita as revenge and then took off somewhere - never to be found.

The only thing...won't they wonder why Trinity went after Dexter's family? They'll go "hmmmmmm".

I can't wait until next season. When does the next season start? :confused:

Oh gosh - I'm so upset about Rita!

Hey did you watch the interview afterwards? I loved Michael Halls buzz cut. Tomorrow at 3pm EST John Lithgow will do a live chat. http://www.sho.com

I just read an article titled ...'Dexter's' mother of all twists: The Trinity Killer resolution........ Now doesn't that say it all.


I still have to wonder about Quinn....He knew how Trinity killed women. How would Trinity know Dexter was left in a pool of blood........


Soooooooo many questions I tell ya

[doctor_J]

Brilliant! Perfect! I loved it! These writers are courageous. Now I've got to purchase Showtime (this season was a freebie). Does it start in Sept? I want to turn it off till time for season 5.

[Roux]

When I heard a rumor that a major character would be lost this season, I thought maybe Batista or Maria, especially after they got married. Then when Trinity was in Deb's apt, I thought Oh No here it comes. Never expected what actually was to come.

Shocking scene of violence after we had been settled down, thinking Dexter finally had things under control. Initially I couldn't comprehend it, thought it was a surreal flashback or fantasy of Dexter's.

Once everyone has seen the show and knows the outcome, I have a couple of questions.:tongueside:

[Dexter]

Towards the end of the episode I was thinking this was one of the worst season finales.

Too easy for Dexter to get to Trinity on that road. The road that looked eerily similar to the road where Dexter had his accident at the beginning of the season.

But then the end of the episode happened.

I'm probably not the first to bring this up (maybe the first on this thread) but...

What if the end was a dream sequence?

Crispy?

heres' the interview if anyone missed it. http://www.sho.com/site/dexter/interview.do

[Justice4all]

I have a thought.........a question..........something to make you think.


Will Dexter call 911 and report Rita's murder? Or will he take her out to the water and just tell everyone Rita left him and the children?

Now think about it before you answer :sneaky:

I thought about the dream sequence when he was on the road with Trinity. I said Holy Cow that's the same road he wrecked on and he's gonna wake up and they are gonna find body parts scattered and he's busted. Thus setting up the next season with everyone finding out and all that.

Now, I'm fairly positive she is dead. I think that he will call 911 and they will come out and he might be in some trouble. He can't really give an alibi can he? "Sorry I couldn't have killed my wife because I was out killing Trinity." Quinn will probably dig into it and further the fight between him and Dexter.

Whatever happens I think they are going to get closer to finding out what Dexter really is in the next season. jmo

[Noah]

Will Dexter call 911 and report Rita's murder? Or will he take her out to the water and just tell everyone Rita left him and the children?

Now think about it before you answer :sneaky:

Good question! I've been thinking about how he's gonna handle this since I saw the ending last night.

I imagine Dexter will call 911 or call Deb. But then how will he explain that Trinity came after him in particular?

AND Dexter has no alibi for when Rita died.

Dumping Rita out in the ocean would cause big problems for him. How can he explain Harrison being home and Rita disappearing?

Oh I can just see Quinn coming after him. hammer

Oyyyyyyyyyyy - I want the new season to start NOW. :angry:

I did think Trinity breaking down on that road was kinda strange, especially since "all of a sudden" Dexter shows up. There were no other cars on the road with Trinity, so where was Dexter?

Dream sequence? Hmmmmmmm - well, that would give them an option for the next season, wouldn't it?

Hey - maybe the neighbor that kissed Rita will be investigated.

How does anyone know Harrison was left at home....Dexter was off and getting ready to go on the mini vacay with Rita and Harrison... In fact he could say he went home and watched Harrison while Rita went out to pick up a few things for the trip and never come back.......

But some how I doubt he'll dump her.

I can't stand Quinn.........

I have to wonder how many people knew about Dexter being found in the pool of blood...Did Quinn know? How could have Trinity known that?


Oh yeah i'm ready for the next season NOW..............

[Justice4all]

but on a second thought........... I wouldn't be shocked if Dexter blames the neighbor that kissed Rita. :sneaky:

Noah, I am pretty sure that Dexter was in Trinity's trunk; that's why there was not another vehicle when Trinity stopped.

As for what will happen to Rita's body. I believe that Dexter will call 911 I don't believe Dexter could dismember her body, he would find it disrespectful. And because she was not killed in a "clean environment", ie. a plastic lined room, he could never erase all evidence of her murder.
I suspect season 5 will start several months down the road. Trinity will have been blamed for Rita's murder. It will probably be thought to be related to his daughter's death. He went to D. Morgan's house, thinking it was Debra but found Dexter's wife. Any questions that will have been asked will be behind him. Much like any questions about Prado's death in last season were not addressed this year.

Finally, I find it amusing that Julie Benz kept referring to the ending of this season as a "blood bath". Clever play on words.

[Hanalei]

I belive that Dexter was hiding in the trunk too. OMFG I can't believe they killed off Rita!:scared:

So now Dexter is going to be a single father raising 3 kids and be a serial killer on the side?

I agree with your take on how it will pick up next season. Also, if there was any question, the cell phone pings would show that Dexter was not near Rita unitl shortly before he called 911. (I believe he will call 911 and report what he found when he came home.)

Now I have to speculate as to what will happen to the kids. Will Rita's mom move in and take care of the kids so Dexter can keep working? Will Deb move in with him to share the responsibilites? Can he afford to hire a live-in nanny?

I can't wait. When does the next start? LOL

SPOILER BELOW. WARNING



The only thing that kind of bothers me is that the finale is almost identical to the events of Criminal Minds. Serial killer kills the agent's wife with the child, who is left unharmed is the house. The husband is the first to find her body and both men kill ther serial killer who murdered their wife. Both most now continue to raise their son while working in LE. Too much alike IMO. Did anyone notice this?

There are still some fans who are saying it was all a dream...that he will awake and Rita will be okay. I did get a dreamy kind of feeling when he came home and first heard the baby and then saw himself as a child. It was very dream like.

After the show was over, there was an interview with Michael C. Hall and John Lithgow and they both talked about how Trinity had killed Rita. And Monday night on the net, Clyde Phillips (the producer?) also discussed the episode and said that Rita was dead; it was NOT a dream.

And Deb, I did not catch the similarity between the endings of Criminal Minds and Dexter. Good catch! Though I am sure it was just a coincidence, the ending of Dexter was really kept secret.

Clyde Phillips said that they have not decided what will happen with the children but there are several ways they could go. If Dexter did not adopt the two older kids, it is quite likely that they may go to live with grandparents or siblings of Paul (their dead father) or Rita.

Regardless, it is going to be a loooong wait until the new season.

Now, on to Big Love and Lost!

No. Maybe I wasn't smart enough to figure it out, but I don't understand why he killed any of those people. I heard his story about him watching his sister in the shower when he was 10 years old and she saw him, became startled, fell, cut her leg and died. That does not sound believeable to me. Is that what happened?

That's what Arthur told "Kyle." He was 10 yrs old, innocently looking at his sister, startled her, she fell and died. Supposedly Arthur was killing off his family- young women in the tub, middle aged women representing his mother, men representing his father, 10 yr old boys in PJ's representing himself. Only thing I don't get is that time in the back alley of the bar when Arthur attacked that guy.

I'm selfish. I want the original writer to stay with Dexter. Why can't his family move to be with him. And why does the writer have to live in the same state the show is filmed.( His family lives in Connecticut.) Can't he email the scripts and rewrites to the studio. They can talk by phone and computer. I don't get it. There is something he isn't saying. I suspect someone is not well. Otherwise it doesn't make sense.

There you go. I had not heard that. Gosh, I hope that is not the reason. Her health is certainly more important than the tv show. God bless them if that is the case.

[Hanalei]

The guy is just the co producer not the script writer so I don't think his leaving will effect the show. It said he is leaving for personal reasons. Maybe the show is effecting his marriage since it takes up most of his time.

If you are interested in other great entertainment, you might check out Big Love. The new season starts in January on HBO (I'm switching back to HBO to watch Big Love). It's not about serial killers, but there are some pretty wicked people on it. The greatest thing about it is that it has great writing and a fantastic cast.

Another great show is Damages on FX. Great writing and great cast. It stars Glen Close.

I read that it was caught at an "early stage", although they didn't say which stage it was in the article I read. Luckily Hodgkin's lymphoma is one of the most curable types of cancer, especially if you catch it early. I hope he does well in treatment and has a speedy mend.

I'm so glad that it was caught early AND that it is a most curable type. Hang tough, Michael C. Hall!

My daughters friend also had the same cancer right out of high school and she is good as new now.

I do find it odd that they say he is in remission in such a short time- and before treatment is finished.

But he looked GREAT at the Globes last night- and in fact the reason he went public with his illness at all was because of all the award shows coming up.

“There are rumors going around, people would like to have me back as a ghost or that it was just a dream,” Julie tells RadarOnline.com.

“Let me set the record straight, it was not a dream. Trinity killed Rita. No one else did. Dexter didn’t kill her. She didn’t commit suicide Deb didn’t sneak in and do it. The Trinity Killer killed her. And, it’s not a dream and as of right now there are no plans of me returning as a ghost.”

Was thinking about Dexter just the other day, and in my mind's eye saw Rita in that tub. It just seems so unreal that she is gone. For all that some of us got irritated with her, she and the children were decent, innocent human beings. It's going to be interesting to see what next season brings.

Well for right now, you can catch her on 'Desperate Housewives'---living with Susan and Mike Delfino. Don't know how long she'll be on the show.

Thanks for that Mamie. John Lithgow was on The View last week. He said he exchanges email with Michael Hall and that he is doing well. I still wanted to just slap him for killing Rita! LOL

I can hardly wait to see how they handle the death of Rita. What will Dexter do?
