Dexter: Season 4 (spoilers)


Porn Shop Clerk

Recommended Posts

I told a friend of mine earlier in the season that I had hoped she would leave the show somehow(divorce, death) but it was sad to see it actually happen. I also found it disturbing to think of how Lithgow killed her, it was definetly disturbing to watch him murder that women in the 1st episode.

I really hate how that went down. Rita has been there since the first episode. She was so great in season 1. The things that eventually made her annoying weren't really her fault. I'm still in wtf mode. Oh well, she can join Doakes as a living ghost in the books.

It seemed odd that she was flying out early without much question. It was just a trick to make us think she was safe, which is why it felt forced.

Next season will be great. Hope it gets an extension and they aren't forced to shut it down. You could view this finale as a beginning of the end or new life. Clyde made a "years" reference during the week about Deb's future, so maybe he's expecting another extension.

Even though it was a disturbing way to end a season, they couldn't have ended it better! I was not much of a Rita fan, other than the nudy shots.... I did like how Dex was becoming more human. I think that is where most fans wanted to see him progress, and they thought the next season was going to be him quitting the killing.

Now its taken a dark turn and it opens the door for many possible story lines. If they decide to end the show next season, I see him getting killed off. I just hope they dont pull a Sopranos ending...fade to black....

I had a feeling someone was going to die, I was hoping it would have been Deb though.

Great episode, great ending, great season.

Couple of things for next season:

1. Trinity being in the station. Nobody knew it at the time, but Batista saw him (as was mentioned earlier in this thread)...surely others did. This should raise some concerns.

2. Rita being killed by the Trinity killer raises another eyebrow. People will surely give Dex a pass as he will be in mourning, but it will certainly raise questions as to why she was the target. Especially because she is older, and not the usual young girl in the tub. Will Dexter be a suspect?

3. Dexter's kid being "born in blood" but not the other two step-children. Is this the sign of him raising his son and teaching him how to deal with his dark passenger? This is similar to the story that the book follows, although I have not read them.

What an incredible finale. You could see the writing on the wall; he was getting sloppy all season, and there would be consequences. We just didn't know in what form - could be letting Trinity get away, could be him getting caught, could be Deb finding out who he really is...they gave us a consequence that few were expecting. Such a great show. After watching it for four seasons with me, my girlfriend quit watching it about halfway through this season b/c she said it gave her nightmares. I constantly gave her crap for it, telling her to suck it up. She would have lost it after that ending last night.

1 & 2. I doubt it'll be as big as it should be. Dex could always say Trinity was trying to get close to him like Christine did with Quinn. Dex will probably just act shocked. The case was taken by FBI, so it won't be the same as if they were officially tying up loose ends. Batista might be too distracted with LaGuerta right now to think straight. I think it'll be on the back burner for a while. I wonder if Dex will change Rita's crime scene.

3. Correct. In the books it's Cody & Astor. Cody is basically a mute and Astor does most of the talking. In the books, Dexter just found out Rita is pregnant. It's similar in that Dex could be teaching the code. I actually hope not. I think Harrison is young enough for Dex to prevent it. In the books, a demon literally gets in their head. Luckily, no demons on the show yet. I'm not a fan of the supernatural twist in the books.

    • This thread generated more than I expected.  Hmmm.  I like a good discussion, but you are all wrong unless you agree with me and I am right.  I recall when we had Cam nut huggers on here and that was fine because he was a Panther.  Now some are hugging on Sanders.  He is a talent, but my point was, he takes a beating. His daddy has been heavy in the portal, has some great athletes, but still can't get a dominant team on the field.  His son is sacked a LOT.  In the NFL, that makes for a short career.  Starter---blue tent---IR---uber driver.
    • He took a kill shot from an unblocked free rusher who might as well have announced he was coming. He looked like Bryce young out there: Bryce in the nfl I mean 
    • Uh oh somebody must be upset about that "Panthers don't know how to run a team post of yours" where I questioned curious to know how you know so much and are qualified perhaps? Projecting or not Deon is a walking talking issue currently and in my opinion as shown by many issues in Colorado the past couple seasons. Shedur will bust and will not be the star his dad was in my opinion also but until we see it all play out, both yours and my opinion is just that; an opinion.  He is a good QB in college no doubt but when he doesn't have dad at the next level I am curious to see how it goes. I was once around Deon however briefly during the COVID era. His eldest son was with a team I was involved with in a capacity for one shortened COVID season. No problem with his boy but his father I could tell was an issue. Without going into details, Deon is something else entirely. Perhaps not a completely bad human being but one that can get extremely toxic and thinks the world should immediately bow to him and do his every bidding because of his own past accomplishments in football. That could get very tough if the right franchise is not found with leadership that will tell him to know his role, sit down and shut up.  Adversity does not define everything true but adversity on a football field during a season is minor compared to life adversity I've seen some other players face first hand who came from nothing and are still dealing with issues currently as they make their way through college. Football field adversity does not compare to the real world off the field and out of the locker room adversity some face. You speak as if you may know something on the subject other than what people see on television and read on the internet. What locker rooms have you been involved in or witnessed the everyday play out during the season once the high school level is passed? I have to admit my experience seeing the everyday lives play out at the NFL level is limited to former players who have gone beyond Div. 1 and I only know what is told to me by them when they return to me in off seasons and breaks so I can't fully get an idea at that level. I have however seen a few days at the college level play out and I base my opinion from the very limited I have seen out of Deon in person and yes probably biased a bit after a few of those very limited interactions but it's my opinion determined by what I have seen over the years with my own eyes out of many situations and players rather than my arm chair GM opinion based upon what I read on the internet and the statistics I see on TV. As I said, we shall see once next season plays out but the Panthers are not equipped to handle what will come with Shedur Sanders I personally believe. A team like the Detroit Lions with a coach like Dan Campbell who is not afraid to tell someone to back off, sit down and shut the hell up I could only guess will be needed when Shedur is drafted and that personality will not be needed for Shedur but for daddy.
