Luckily, that's not an issue up here. Doctors' salaries are set by the government, so there's no benefit to prescribing unneccessary procedures or medications. They still do quite well, but not the millions doctors make in the US. And that's precisely the reason we have trouble keeping them here.

That's why I like socialized medicine. The doctors actually spend time and listen to the patients instead of walking in and talking to the patient while reading the chart.
 
Anyway...

Lithgow was great in Raising Cain - he did chew up the scenery a bit, but was still a standout performance.
 
Another great episode last night. Season 4 is really delivering for me.

It was nice to see some classic Dexter last night. The way he's learning from the Trinity Killer is perfect. I'm still thinking that the TK is not as naive as Dexter is thinking. I wouldn't be surprised if he already knows about Dexter.

Things are definitely shaping up for a huge final episode. I'm looking for a huge cliffhange type ending this season since they didn't deliver one last season.

That's what I was feeling. It was almost too easy for Dexter to get in close to him. I'm glad that we seemingly saw the last of whiny Rita. She was seriously getting on my nerves with all of her bit## fest.

Same here man looks like she will be ok now? great episdoe really enjoyed it like i do every week!
 
Yep, no more whiny Rita. Hopefully now, she'll get naked for us :rock

I too have been thinking that Trinity has been acting VERY naive the last few episodes. Probably why it's so easy for him to hide, nobody suspects the nice guy. I'm still thinking that Quinn shot Lundy/Deb though......

Oh god please let that happen! :monkey5
 
I don't think Trinity is naive. He's sick and some things set him off. Dexter knew exactly the right button to push.

I also like how the Therapist (from Nip/Tuck - yay!) calls Rita on her unjustified expectations.

They are really trying to make us think Trinity shot Lundy and Deb with Dexter believing it so firmly. They haven't really posited an alternative either with the Vacation killers out of the mix. I really don't think Quinn or Anton are believeable.

There's still Quinn's reporter girlfriend, desperate for a story. Desperate enough to make the story herself?? DUN DUN DUN!!!

She did start to needle Quinn about an interview with Deb, maybe they're laying down some hints??

My money's definitely still on the reporter, and Sunday's episode only cemented that belief. I just don't see Quinn being the guilty party in this. They've spent so long developing his character into someone who could conceivably discover Dexter's secret, so it'd be a shame to waste him now. Again, everyone's jumping to conclusions that it's Trinity (including the police), so it pretty much HAS to be a red herring.

I also hope we're seeing the end of annoying, suspicious Rita. However, annoying Deb doubled up the crazy on Sunday, further fueling my hope that her character meets a nasty end, and soon. She's just way too unhinged.
 
Motive is very important. How would someone benefit from the deaths of Lundy and/or Debra?

-The Trinity Killer would benefit the most because they were both tracking him. The thing here is that Trinity would've probably been watching them & would surely know of Dexter already (which is why I think he's playing along with the whole "Kyle Butler" routine)

-Anton could've done it in a fit of rage & just played dumb when Debra broke up with him (which is more of a stretch)

-Quinn could've done it because he looked at the Trinity case as stealing the thunder of the Vacaction Killer case which he was working on and could advance his career (also a stretch)
 
I'm thinking it is Quinn's reporter/GF. In this week's episode when Quinn walked out to talk to Deb and the GF was watching them which kind of sat weird with me.
Quinn is a total clown, but I don't think he's gonna go killing former FBI agents and cops. That's a line I doubt he'll cross.
 
I think Quinn's girlfriend is just trying to work an angle for a story. She wants to interview Debra, so she's curious about how close Quinn is to her & how she can capitalize on it.

I'm sure she's just using Quinn and she could really care less about him. Quinn seems like your basic cop, sure he does some questionable things but I can't see him as really bad just kinda naive & jaded.

I disagree. First off, it's been mentioned over and over again that the ritual is of paramount importance for Trinity. He always kills in threes, and always in exactly the same way. To assume that he'd suddenly scrap his ritual for a murder of convenience makes no sense. In fact, I'm surprised that Dexter is buying into it, too. This is most likely a red herring, as they purposely filmed the shooting scene without showing us the shooter's face. Why do that if it IS Trinity; why attempt to conceal his identity if they're just going to announce him as the killer in the following episode?

Second, Deb wasn't on Trinity's trail; only Lundy was pursuing that angle. Deb was searching for the Vacation Killer, same as Quinn. And let's just assume that Trinity did the shooting - why would he leave a potential eye witness alive? If he's killing Lundy to protect his identity, then why not also make sure that Deb died, too? The only motive I can think of for leaving Deb alive is that Deb is somehow important to the killer, or to the killer's plans.

I also disagree about Trinity knowing about Dexter. If Trinity did kill Lundy to protect his identity, then why do all that role-playing with Dexter? For thrills? No, it just doesn't make any sense at all.

Unless they start introducing new characters between now and the finale, I'm sticking with Quinn's girlfriend as the culprit.
 
If Lundy's death is related to the Trinity Killer, it could be that Trinity has multiple personalities. Episode 5, the "Denver Omelette" scene features Trinity looking shocked at the news of Lundy's death, immediately followed by anger (he also mumbles something while watching, not sure if he's reading the screen or what). Debra had been meeting with Lundy to discuss the TK case quite often.

Does anybody really believe that the Trinity Killer is falling for the "Kyle Butler" routine? If Dexter truly believes that Trinity shot Deb & killed Lundy, doesn't he know that more than likely Trinity knows who Dexter is already? I mean, he was hand-picked by Lundy to help on the TK case and he is Debra's brother (who was also shot). Wouldn't it be easy to figure out who Dexter was since he's so closely related to Lundy & Debra?

It's very possible that Trinity knows alot about Dexter. Wounding Debra could be part of his plans for Dexter. It's also possible that Trinity's son could be involved, that would ultimately make Dexter concerned for his own son's future. Perhaps Trinity's son shot Lundy to save his dad?

Knowing how this show normally works, it wouldn't make much sense for the killer to be the news reporter, Anton or Quinn. I'd pick Matthews over those three (he's evil, it's just a matter of time). One thing we know is that Dexter's character has to evolve after Trinity's death, so we can expect some enlightening twist.
