"Dirty Harry"

spamurai

Guess everyone DVR'd it for tomorrow or something? Great ****ing episode. Fully engaged into this episode from the very beginning to the end. Nice reveal at the end. Can't wait to see where it goes from here.

I thought that it was great, too. It looks like this show is back to Season 1 quality, I hope that they can keep it up.

Not to mention he told his baby he was a killer in a room with a baby monitor that his wife could hear in the next room.

I can't believe they haven't touched on that yet. If she didn't hear it, it's lazy writing. They didn't show him turn it off, so it's one hell of a plot hole.

I'm pissed Deb's alive. I despise that actress.

I'm all for more of the reporter's nekkidness, though.

Stay away from the "webisodes" -- they are extremely short and devoid of content.

So with as fast as things have progressed with Trinity killer, I can't imagine they can take that story line the length of the season without feeling drawn out. Dex knows he is now. I hope we're not in for 6 episodes of back and forth....unless it's done in a really good way.

+1 on wishing Deb died.

GMan2819

Dex slipped up by leaving his prints on the tape and Lundy's recorder. I wonder if the writers are going to do something with that....

majorjoe23

It seems unlikely that they would run prints on a cop's possessions, especially with the case closed.

Groucho

If it turns out that Trinity did in fact shoot Lundy, can we expect John Lithgow back next season playing a completely different character?

GMan2819

The case is not closed. The police only suspect it's the Vacation Murderers. Forensics still have to go thru everything from the crime scene to link the Vacation Murderers to the shooting.

Really good episode, I can see how they'd extend this story for a few episodes. I mean Trinity is Dexter! Dexter has been married for a few months and it's strugling to keep the serial killer work. Trinity has been doing the same for 20+ years, since they showed his older kids.

Patman

Dexter hunting his own "doppelganger" of sorts puts a neat spin on things.

I guess it was good for both Dexter and Trinity that Trinity removed the DVD-R from the surveillance system so Dexter's presence at the building would not be recorded once the coffee guy's body is found on the 4th floor.

Nice O from the newschick.

Josh-da-man

Seems like Dexter leaves "trails" all the time. He looks shit up on his work computer; not only did he leave fingerprints on the recorder, but he told a lie to the cop about his sister losing a ring. There's also GPS, surveillance cameras everywhere these days.

While I can see that they're trying to draw parallels between Dexter and Trinity, it also seems pretty apparent that Trinity is based on the BTK Killer.

Earlier this season, I was thinking that I was getting bored with Dexter having conversations with his dead father every episode. I actually wouldn't mind if Lundy took over that role.

I was also surprised Dexter would find the Trinity Killer so quickly. It only took him the length of an episode to find him. I don't know how they can extend this storyline for another 6 or 7 episodes. I can't see it going more than 3 or 4 episodes - unless there's a twist to it.

I'm still not sure the TK was the one that killed Lundy for all the reasons that was mentioned in the last episodes thread. Which brings me to my prediction on the twist:



As for the other storylines, there still may be something about Quinn that'll get exposed. I don't think Rita will find out anymore about Dexter - but the season will probably end with Deb finding out about Dexter's mother and brother. I don't think any of the regular characters will find out about Dexter's secret though.

majorjoe23

It seems like for the last season or so Dexter's father has been less and less father-like and more and more dark. I'm beginning to suspect that dad and the dark passenger are actually one and the same. I doubt the ghost of Lundy would be taking over that role.

OscarBluth

Can the ghost of Lundy take over the role of Deb? Please? She'll have more time to make Quarantine 2.

MrX

Yeah, I'd expect Dexter to study Trinity and use him as a resource for how he's pulled this for as long as he has with a family.

Loved the look on everyone's face when Masuka said if had that many people after him he'd be digging a tunnel to China

JohnSlider

I was discussing this with someone and they said they turned off the baby monitor's receiver in the bedroom whenever one of them got up to tend to the baby so that the significant other wouldn't have to keep hearing the crying and could go back to sleep. That's how I explain it.

Living Dead

Add me to the list of people who wished Deb would die. She's the worst part of the show. It's a great show, but I think it would be excellent without her poorly written character, or at least a better actress.

Slumbering Fist

I think looking for too much real world logic in this show is a bit useless. I mean, its a pulp show. Everything about the crime and serial killer pathology is mostly Hollywood false. If you really think blood results take a day or two or that serial killers run around with such motivations, then go ahead and live in fantasy land.

I had an inkling they would go the way they did with Trinity. It just seemed like a natural progression with the whole adjusting to life as a family man angle they were going for with Dexter this season (didn't think Trinity would be Jimmy Freakin' Carter though). Its a bit shades of BTK, a serial killer successfully managing a dual life and spacing out kills for many years, which is an exception. Agreed, its curious to have half a season left and the reveal, but then again, they did much the same with the Ice Truck Killer and managed to stretched it out, so we'll see.

Holysmoker

Deb's breakdown in this episode had me in tears. I don't think she's a bad actress at all. Besides, isn't she married to Michael C. Hall? I don't think she's going anywhere.

Patman

Yup, Dex is married to Deb in real life.

majorjoe23

I saw an interview with the actress who plays Deb the other day, and she said she said the cast isn't being shown the last three pages of the final episode, so apparently most people on the cast are feeling uncertain.

Poink

Well, the difference between the Ice Truck Killer reveal and the Trinity reveal is that the characters didn't know who he was until the final two episodes of the season, even though WE knew after about the fifth episode.

Dexter knows who Trinity is, where he lives, etc. He could easily take him out if he wanted to, so yeah, most likely he's going to "study" him. Although I wonder how that is going to really happen, since Trinity is done with his "cycle." so Dexter basically missed out on being able to watch Trinity and how he handles both his family life and his killing.

I sort of think the Trinity storyline might end after a few episodes and they'll drop some sort of bomb towards the last 3 episodes to set things up for the next (final) season. Can't wait to see it, nonetheless.

Nausicaa

Agreed, I didn't cry, but I felt her breakdown was very believable and well acted. Watching the scene I thought it might change some minds about her in these threads, but I guess not! I can understand not liking her character (even though I don't agree), but I don't think the actress is doing a bad job.
