Dexter - "Road Kill" - 11/15/09


"Road Kill"
Spoiler:
Dexter has always known his father's Code was meant to protect him from exposure. But after committing a serious mistake, he wonders if it could have been designed to protect him from something even more dangerous - human emotion. When he discovers that Trinity is planning an out-of-town trip, Dexter sees an opportunity to ride along and gain insight into the mind of a fellow monster. Even so, Dexter isn't prepared for the startling revelations Trinity makes along the way, revelations about his own past which only serve to convince Dexter of what he must do. Meanwhile, back at Miami Metro, Debra refuses to let a technicality keep her off the Trinity case. She works through others to ensure her voice is heard - that is, until she realizes that her single-minded pursuit of the Trinity Killer may have blinded her to the truth.

Did anyone see this? Any spoilers you might share as I will not get to watch it until later this week.

I saw it.

The season is really picking up. I always thought Dexter would kill himself if he killed an innocent. That's his code. Good episode. Hate to see Rita go down that path she's heading.

I surprised it bothered him at all that much other than not getting to kill the assistant and him being kinda sloppy. The photographer was an asshole and woman beater who cares he dead. Didn't he kill that pedophile last year and what about Prado's brother?

It's pretty obvious that the news reporter shot Lundy and Deb. The biggest clue is that she's an otherwise useless character who keeps popping up for no reason.

I found it hilarious that Rita's sub-plot with the neighbor was almost exactly the same as Marge's sub-plot with Flanders on The Simpsons that aired on the same night.

I thought they were shot by Batista & Laguerta's romance for the same reason.

I'd love to see that sub-plot put on Dexter's table.

"I really need to stab something."

Lithgow really got to go nuts- no pun intended- on this one.

It was a throwaway bit, but I loved the toilet paper coffee filter reaction

No, I love that! It's great when they're speaking perfect English and then roll the r in tortilla like day one of a high school Spanish class.

I think that it was one of the TV reports on eonline or ew.com that said if you really watched carefully the episode where Lundy and Deb got shot, it would give hints as to who the shooter was (this was before the episode aired). Given that the size of the shooter basically rules Deb's ex out, I gotta think that Groucho is right about the shooter, but can anyone remember anything in particular that might be a clue?

I think of two reasons she isn't useless.

I can think of three, if you counted each of her juggs separately.

I think it was Anton. He has been MIA since then. Like they want you to forget about him.

I called it as the reporter back when they first got shot. Here's hoping.

Re: Dexter - "Road Kill" - 11/15/09

I still say it's Trinity's son Jonah. He's roughly the same height Deb/Masuka said the shooter would be. You can tell since Jonah and Masuka are the same amount shorter than Dexter (going by the episode where Dexter meets Jonah for the first time). In this new episode, he's bent over washing the car - almost like the writers/director are purposely hiding his height. Plus he's in ROTC and has made a couple of appearances (not enough to make it obvious, but enough so that the surprise isn't out of nowhere).
Of course I could be wrong, and it's the reporter - which would be monumentally stupid.

Will Trinity realize that there were no news reports about cops doing a DNA sweep searching for a serial killer - and start to question who Dexter really is?

Doesn't Dexter realize he can look suspicious wearing black gloves in the daytime in the hot Tampa weather? He couldn't even say they were construction gloves.

Quinn keeps getting more interesting information about Dexter. How will this play into future episodes?

I just watched the episode. Sad that Dexter couldn't let go soon enough.

I skimmed through that episode watching the scenes which revolve around Trinity/Lundy/Deb (ignoring Dexter and the family-murdering cop) and I'm kind of stumped. The only thing that I could come up with is when Lundy walks Deb to her car before they get shot, you can see what looks to be a dark coloured van parked near the enterance of the hotel - but it's hard to be 100%. Trinity has a dark coloured van, which would bring it back to him and/or his son. However, after the shooter took Lundy's wallet/watch - he left in the other direction. So I've probably got nothing.

Anton left when his boyfriend told him about sleeping with Lundy.

Dexter's just getting too messy this season and I can't tell if that's an intentional shift or just the result of sloppy writing. Leaving a cut up and bloody body hanging in a heavy bag, killing the wrong guy during a few free hours one night, and now stalking Trinity in full serial killer regalia with a loaded syringe in broad daylight at a build site full of people. This just isn't the Dexter we've come to know.

Where did all those people at the build site come from? It went from deserted to fully populated in a matter of seconds. I can only assume a clown car pulled up right after Dexter got there.
