Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

[The ill Jedi]

I'm digging this season so far, not sure if I can say I like it more than previous seasons yet, but it's good. Is anybody else finding Rita as ^^^^ing annoying as I am? Oh and Lithgow is sooooooo good!

 

[-jay-]

No i love Rita she rocks

I'm loving this season but like you can't say it's better than the others yet either way i can't wait until next week.

I've wanted to punch her in the face repeatedly until she stops moving many times already this year. Is that what it's like when you get married??? I think I'll pass on it.

At least we are getting more and more into the Trinity killer. I wonder why they even the "vacation" killer side-plot into the story. I think Trinity could take up the whole season

 

[Batty]

Lithgow really is great. I kept waiting for the mark Trinity made to come into play. I guess we have to wait.

I think they're really pushing to show how much Daxter's family life is affecting him, but it's a bit over the top. Rita seems like a different person altogether now. And if I had neighbors like that, I'd move.

I love Masuka's truck!

Very insightful episode this week, in regards to the Trinity Killer. I’m thinking the Trinity Killer is re-creating the deaths of his family…though I’m not sure if he was involved in their deaths or is killing others in the same manner that they died to somehow deal with the pain/trauma.

Here’s what we know regarding Trinity’s pattern.

First victim: female killed in her bath tub by severing the femoral artery.

Second victim: married female, mother of two, killed by falling from a large distance. No signs of struggle.

Third victim: male, bludgeoned to death (this kill has not be seen in an episode yet, but according to Lundy, this is the next kill in the pattern)

The first victim in the trinity kill could represent the Trinity Killer’s sister; I have nothing to back this up, just a hunch. I think the second victim represents his mother; after he killed the second victim (I cannot remember the character’s name) he went down to the body and said “Mommy” in a pained voice. And unless I am mistaken, the mark that the Trinity left on the ground was from the ashes of his mother’s cremated remains. The third victim could represent the Trinity Killer’s father. Towards the end of Sunday’s episode, the Trinity Killer poured two drinks. On the table he was sitting on were pictures of what I assume were his family. I cannot remember his exact words (I’ll have to re-watch this episode when I get home from work), but the Trinity Killer then took a drink and said something along the lines of “I’ll see you soon”.

Of course, this is all speculation. Can’t wait to see how this season turns out.

That was the best part of the episode. Who would have thought Masuka would have a truck like that

 

[die]

Didn't Lundy say the next victim would be male?

This Trinity Killer angle is starting to get good, I think Lundy knows more than he's willing to share just yet.

I can deal with Rita, but Astor has got to go!!!

 

[DinoLast]

I can't believe that Rita accused Dexter of not doing enough as a father.
And Yeah, the third victim will be a man who will be bludgeoned to death. So there goes all the theories that he is going to kill a women in Dexter's life.

.

I'm thinking the same thing. The Trinity Killer is suffering from a childhood trauma that has turned him into a Serial Killer, just like Dexter.
He says "Drink up, you're next" after he pours the drink

 

[Darklord Dave]

It's implied that the next victim will be a father surrogate. I also loved Matsuka's truck and that he's a country music fan. And I liked that they wrapped up the vandal in a single episode - he's a nice contrast to Dexter who wants to lash out at suburbia, but can't because he's got something much darker to hide. And I'm curious to see what he's going to tell Rita about his tantrum. I love what Julie Benz is doing with Rita - there's nothing at all wrong with her, but we're seeing her through Dexter's eyes and she becomes annoying as hell. I LOVE her obsession with 80s music though. "Cruel Summer" indeed.

 

[Seditionary]

My favorite thing about this episode is about how much his lack of personal space is even effecting the narration of the show. He uses way more curse words and called the vandal a ****** bag or something, I laughed more than usual.

I'm also curious to see how Rita will react to him breaking those lights.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

I'm also curious to see how Rita will react to him breaking those lights.

Me too. I chuckled a bit when she saw him busting the lights.

 

[die]

Maybe he'll chalk his tantrum up to his concussion. He could tell Rita the lights were making his head hurt?

 

[El Skutto]

Hopefully, he'll grow a pair and tell Rita to back the hell off. He was certainly more diplomatic than I would have been after she gave him that "you haven't really been there as a father or a husband lately" speech. He's got a full-time job, he's responsible for taking care of the baby at night, he's involved in the neighbourhood watch...cut him some slack, willya?

She hasn't reached Deb-levels of annoyance yet, but she's getting dangerously close...

 

[CelticPredator]

I love Deb....she's awesome. And hot.

Anyway....jesus christ that episode ending was...wow.

I'm in the minority, but I enjoyed the Lundy/Deb relationship....and wow. My jaw was hanging.

 

[-jay-]

Just about to watch this weeks episode.

Anyway....jesus christ that episode ending was...wow.

Woah that ending was great the week wait is going to seem like a month i can't wait to see what happens?

 

[DinoDB1975]

Once again, this episode is proof why Dexter is one of the best shows out there, on network or cable. I did not see this coming at all. I kind of thought that Lundy would get killed, but not until later on in the season…but maybe he survived the shooting. The previews at the end of this week’s episode indicate that Deb survived the initial shooting but is fighting for her life, but made no mention of Lundy. Deb was shot once, but if I remember correctly, Lundy was shot several times.

So who’s the shooter? Obvious suspect is the Trinity Killer; he found out that Lundy was tracking him. But it doesn’t add up, as a shooting doesn’t follow Trinity’s established pattern. Plus, how did he locate where Lundy was staying?

Second potential suspect(s) are the vacation robbers/killers. They target tourists at hotels, and Lundy was robbed at the end.

The third dark horse suspect (and who I believe did the shooting) is Anton. He followed Deb, got jealous, and killed Lundy. It’s interesting that Deb was only shot once while multiple shots were fired at Lundy. It sort of seems out of character for Anton (I don’t believe there was any indication in the third season of Anton having violent tendencies) but it can be argued that it was a crime of passion and Anton reacted. He then decided to try to blame it on the vacation killers by taking Lundy’s watch and other possessions. If Anton is the shooter, then this is sure to mess Deb up more. She gets involved with the Ice Truck Killer in the first season, and in this season her boyfriend shoots her ex-boyfriend.

Of course, this is all speculation at this point, but we’ll see how it turns out.

 

[Darth Caedus]

I do think that it will be the Vacation killer/s. Don't think it was Trinity, he's MUCH too precise and prime to just shoot somebody on the street (unless his Daddy, if he was whom he was having a drink with) is part of a couples thing. But like you said, Lundy was robbed, so maybe that's an indicator or perhaps a red herring. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. But I didn't want Lundy to die so early, I liked him

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Hmm... Just saw the episode and CRAP!!!! Totally awesome. Glad Dexter finally got back to his real work, and wow is Cristina Cox hot. I think the shooter at the end might be the Trinity killer trying to cover it up as the Vacation Robbers.
