Dexter

[Golgo-13]

Someone should have asked Philips why Quinn took the money, dammit!

 

[Maximus One]

Lol I kinda think Trinity should have gotten away really. Nobody will be able to top Lithgow in the villian category. They shouldve just let him get away and Dex end up like Lundy hunting Arthur. I dunno I just feel like it all might just be downhill from here

 

[kguillou]

Well, one thing's for sure, from now one the show is going to be ALOT darker than its ever been. I mean the show's always been dark but its been complimented with comedic aspects like Dexter's inner monologue and the supporting cast provides some comic relief. Now that Rita is dead, the tone of the show is going to be completely different i think. I'm not sure if im looking forward to that or not yet.

I was always under the impression that he just took it for himself.

 

[Golgo-13]

He just made it sound like there was so much more to it than that. I think that's what was originally planned, but somewhere along the lines, the writers seem to forget about it...

Or, Dexter seeing him steal the money was only there to build tension between the two, and cause one more complication in his already progressively complicating life.

earlier back like a few months ago, Julie Benz posted a pic of a guy and said to remember this face. Who was the guy she was referring to? Was it the man whose car mirror was smashed because of Dexter?

 

[KALEL114]

I was thinking about that. I am wondering if it was the child murderer that was supposed to be in the finale before they changed it. I don't think it was owner of the car Dexter hit.

Srongly agree. I hope that I'm wrong but I just feel that the writers just shot their load.

Lithgow's Trinity was so fantastic that he needs his own action figure.

 

[KenK]

Here's my question: Is the opening sequence gonna change at all? If only for the fact that Dexter no longer lives in that apartment.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Who's to say he won't? I could see him moving back to his apartment with Harrison while Astor and Cody go off to live with their grandparents.

 

[Darthphere]

Because Deb is living there now.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

She could always move. She's done it often enough already. Dexter could say the sight of Rita's body ruined the house for him, so Deb gets that while he gets the apartment back.

I'm kind of curious about Astor and Cody, though. It seems like they would logically go to the grandparents, since they're not Dexter's kids and Dexter probably doesn't want to raise them after all the family stuff messed with his killing this season. But I could also see them having Dexter on his own with 3 kids turning his life inside out.

 

[Master Chief]

I hope they thought things through past the finale, because from where things are now they've written themselves into a hole. So curious to see what the next season's promos will be like.

 

[Prison Mike]

I hope they don't write the kids off though. I always liked seeing Dexter's home life.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It actually wouldn't surprise me if they fast-forwarded a few years to the point where Harrison's like 4 or 5 and starts showing signs of his own Dark Passenger because of Rita's death. That would be a drastic enough change to go with the major upheaval that the cliffhanger deserves because the focus could shift to Dexter trying to teach Harrison a new code that covers the stuff Harry's missed, but it would still be pretty true to the feel of Dexter so far, where it's basically Dexter trying to balance things and seeing the world specifically through Dexter's eyes. Dexter's take on Harry's style of fatherhood, basically.

 

[BatMatt]

Dexter came to the conclusion this season that he NEEDS Rita and the children, so don't expect the children to go anywhere soon. He will be a single father of three, I can almost guarantee that.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He came to that conclusion before Trinity apparently killed Rita simply for being associated with him. That's the kind of event that can drastically change a person's mind.

 

[RogueDK]

His secretive lifestyle has already put the kids in a compromising position with the death of their mother. Knowing Dex, he'll have the good sense to let the grandparents raise those kids for safety reasons. How can he honestly raise those two knowing that it was his own hubrice that made them orphans?

That doesn't mean that the children won't make appearences throughout next season though.

i hope they add a serial killer like the original night stalker, he's done some evil ****, check online if you don't know about him and still hasn't been caught

 

[Kaleb]

my only problem I have with Dexter jumping a few years ahead, is that we would also have to deal with Astor bringing home *****bag boyfriends.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Unless she's living with her grandparents.

I see it like this: Dexter loved Rita and the kids, but seeing Arthur's relationship with his family jolted him and made him wonder if he would be bad for them in the long run. Rita's death clearly proved that he was, in fact, bad for Rita, at least. Now he's stuck with the task of raising her children, which he might be able to do; but realistically the best thing for them would probably be to have them live with their grandparents. Dexter's not exactly that attentive, plus he accidentally got Cody to lie for him, plus he's never understood Astor or her adolescence, plus he's going to be out a lot murdering people rather than being there for them, etc. I know there's been some debate about how Dexter wound up having to take care of the baby so much, but Rita undoubtedly did the lion's share of the work with Astor and Cody. So if they live with their grandparents, they're taken care of, loved, and generally raised better than anything Dexter could provide.

Harrison, on the other hand, has been "born in blood," just like Dexter. So Dexter is pretty much the only one who can properly raise Harrison, if indeed he has a Dark Passenger of his own. I think that's a good compromise of leaving Dexter with a lot of increased responsibility without necessarily overwhelming him or making him sloppy.

 

[Prison Mike]

I don't see them jumping a few years. At most, they may jump 6 months or so. One of the producers brought it up during an interview after the finale.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh well. I wouldn't mind another season of Dexter coping with being a father. Maybe they could keep Cody and Astor with him as well and have the major conflict of the season be Dexter trying to suppress his Dark Passenger so he can be there for the kids.

 

[Matt]

I personally want the skip to only be a matter of days or weeks like season 1 to 2. Otherwise I'd feel cheated out of seeing Dexter's grieving process.
