Let me see here:

Season 1 his brother died.

Season 2 a cop he knew really well died and a person he slept with died.

Season 3 his "best friend" died.

Saying that in season 4 someone close to him was going to die was not far stretched. If you had speicifically said Rita you could get some props, but due to the end of other seasons, you don't get anything. Sorry.

What's up with people reading spoilers before watching the final episode? I find that odd...to each their own I guess

Anyways...I still really didn't like that ending. It kinda undid the whole season for me since Dexter was just hanging out with Arthur the whole season and even saved his life at one point. If there was nothing he could do about it that's one thing but it's like he was begging Arthur to kill someone close to him the whole season. I know there wouldn't be much suspense if he killed Arthur midway through the season, but does he have to be buddies with him the whole frackin season knowing his ritual and the danger he is to Arthur's own family? - Not to mention steering the cops the wrong way giving Arthur a lot more time. Also seemed like they would of paired up the boy Arthur kidnapped with a sketch artist long ago to get an idea of what Trinity looks like. I don't know...I liked all the previous seasons a lot but this one turned out lame.

That was my main beef with the Rita death. Dexter spent the entire season trying to better himself for Rita only to have it end that way. Over half the season was all about Dexter learning how to act normal and then it is just all undone.

Dexter didn't kill as many people this season...

Benny Gomez
Club owner
Stan the Man
Trinity

Am I missing any? Hopefully we see him go on a spree in S5 with Rita gone.

My memory is not as good as yours. Is one of those you listed the photographer? The one he killed that didn't deserve it?

Ahh yes, so 5 total. That chick was hot, but a bitch. I was hoping he'd get to nail Christine too - no pun intended. Doesn't it seem like he killed less people?

yes, his kill to episode ratio seems to be going down. damn family getting in his way, but that "problem" has been taken care of for him.

so, how did he mess w/ the car that trinity was in? was he in the trunk when trinity was killing rita @ dexter's home? or is that the time frame where dexter was at trinity's home when the search warrant was served?

rita hasn't been much of a asset since they stopped any nudity w/ her, imho.

thinking i will go back and watch the whole season to put everything together

That bathroom scene with the lady cop was pretty hot. I bet serial killer sex is the best kind.

e.

I can't stand the tension in dexter. When i got seasons 1 2 & 3 I had to get online a read WTF happens sometime through the series or even just go ahead and watch last episode before finishing others in the season. I wouldn't start watching season 4 until it was done for same reason.

Watched 1 and 12 so far fill the middle later.


I had this same problem in bab5

Yeah, the female police officer Dexter killed.
Yeah, I posted a pic of her awhile back.
She was supposed to be the gay love interest for Dr. Keller on Stargate:Atlantis but that got squashed when the word came down the series was going to be cancelled.
Oh, I found her pic:

is the wonder of when your partner is going to kill you during sex a turn on for you? or are you just thinking crazy in the head, crazy in the bed?

either way, there are limits to the crazy one should expose themselves too, for self preservation purposes

Could this not sometimes accurately portray real life? lots of work done towards some goal that is suddenly wiped out?

Actually, now that I think about it, if the writers had decided to include the scene where Trinity killed Rita, that would have been far more disturbing.

I certainly didn't open this thread looking for spoilers. I didn't expect them so soon after the episode. I'm not upset though. It was inevitable that lithgow's character would end. It was interesting watching the episode with the rita knowledge. I kept looking for it to happen and it started to look like maybe I had misread or it was a false spoiler. When it finally happened at the very end, it seemed as if this event was originally unplanned and written in at the last moment.

Any chance the last scene was a dream? If not, how is he going to get out of this?
