so what'd we think of this new episode? It was pretty miserable...I really felt like I was at a wake. I'm feeling for dexter and he isn't giving much. I don't want to watch this episode again.

Wtf is with deb. I can't wait to see robocop as a secret inspector.

I hope to see quinn on the table this season.
 
Show was good. Everything is just so different now. I am still trying to deal with Dexter's loss. I am interested in where the show is going. The new serial killer case looks crazy and the Kyle Buttler story line will be fun. (the last comments come from the "next on" segment at the end of the episode)
 
I thought it was a great episode...

...and I have no doubt that Quinn will end up dead by the end of the season, whether by Dexter, or someone else.
 
I'm calling it now....Quinn's a serial killer.

Everyone who saw Dexter for what he is was a killer. Doakes, Lila....and now Quinn. :D
 
Michael C. Hall is an amazing actor. He made me hate him, feel bad for him, and laugh at him yesterday.

How is he going to explain where he was? The 911 call is not looking good. I want him to tell Deb already! She already knows he is the Ice Truck Killers brother!

This is going to be an amazing season.
 
Yeah. He really sells it. he's like distant enough for you to just want to see him express something but theres only like really little subtle damage there. he is a really great actor...he has total control over this character. There was something insanely innocent about how he was acting.
 
Meh.. that's lame. Because that's more of a coincidence then. Lila for example.. the only person she ever killed was Doakes. No one before that.. yet she "saw" Dexter's dark side BEFORE she ever killed someone. And the only reason she knew for sure that Dexter was a killer was because Doakes told her. So I'm not buying it.
 
I really enjoyed the first episode of Season 5.
I think it needed to be like that to tie up some loose ends of season 4. When he went on the run, I was thinking no Dexter don't do it, and then he caved that guys brains in, I was like, WTF he has totally lost it. Great to see him finally get some control back at the end.

What awesome acting there when he screamed and lost it! Gave me the chills. His eyes even looked black in that scene.
 
So how do you explain the Trinity Killer being fooled by Dexter?

Dexter's whole life is about camouflage. He mimics every human emotion and was taught to fit in at a very early age. It's no surprise to me that he can fool everyone but Doakes.

Actually, Doakes was Lila's second victim. Remember she confessed to Dexter that she set her ex-boyfriend's place on fire with him still in it?

Most telling moment of Dexter's disconnect to me...when he told Astrid, Cody, and the grandparents of Rita's death and says "I'm sorry for your loss".

With the Mickey Mouse hat on... I actually hated him a little for saying it like that.
 
Yep, totally unemotional.

It's interesting that he was able to show emotion after he murdered that dude in the restroom (this has to be his second non-murderer victim, right? That guy was guilty of being a ******, but nothing else...his other non-murderer victim was that photographer) but not to the kids or at Rita's death.

A litlle hokey of me, but I was hoping that Dexter would finally break down and cry at the funeral.
 
This season definitely hit the ground running, but I agree that last nights episode was miserable. I got a kick out of the season preview where the therapist tells him he needs to, 'Do something for Dexter' and he smiles. Gonna be a great season, I can already tell.
 
@DinoD- I think the breakdown was more of frustration and anger over letting it (Rita) happen. It was guilt, not sadness. I don't think he will ever feel sadness and cry to be honest.

@Devil666- Doakes never knew Dexter was a killer before he caught him. He always said, he knew something was up but never this. He never suspected Dexter of being a murderer. Lila never did either. His mimicry of humans is that good.
 
So how do you explain the Trinity Killer being fooled by Dexter?

He had too much ____ to worry about. He, unlike the other people, hated what he was doing. He would want nothing more then to not be a part of it. But he does. Because he has to.

Lila (she killed before), Doakes, and Brian all knew, or atleast sensed something about Dexter because they embraced who they were.

Or if that doesnt work for you, Trinity had more of a full life. Dexter had the same, but unlike Trinity, he lives to kill. That's his job.
