Synopsis:

Other than Arrested Development, I can't think of another recent TV Show that has had 3 straight, strong seasons to come out of the gate.

The finale looks to be amazing.

wow... cant believe what happened... I dont know how its going to be resolved in the finale, but I sure as hell will be there

Looks like they're opening the door to Deb finding out about Dexter's Mom, which would lead to his brother. Wonder exactly how much Deb will end up finding out, presumably next year.

It's really interesting that unlike last year they won't be able to wrap up a lot of storylines. It doesn't look like Dexter and Rita will be married, she certainly won't give birth, Deb will have some nagging family issues, and LaGuerta is gunna be all kinds of traumatized. Not to mention the other Detective relationships that will make it to next season. And I'm hoping that the writers have already planned out the next two seasons so we can have an even greater arc.

Loved it!

Great episode...with a nice "holy shit" twist in the beginning.

Looking forward to the finale and next season!

^^ Agreed, I was totally fooled at the beginning.

yeah, my friend and I didn't expect that twist either. great stuff. I can't wait for next week. This is my first season watching it live each week (or dvr'ed), so when does the 4th season start? fall just like everything else?

I'm glad I'm not the only one fooled by the beginning. I was sitting there thinking that Dexter was going to get the best of the Skinner.

This show is amazing, but I'm actually kind of bummed they killed off Miguel so fast. I was hoping this "rivalry" would build a little more.

This has to be the BEST show around right now!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't get enough.

A couple of questions.

Did they ever reveal why Oscar was over Freebo's?

Or how Miguel got in touch with the skinner at the end of the previous episode; who is obviously a wanted man.

Did I miss something? Thanks.

Oscar was a drug addict, and in debt to Freebo. He was going to kill Freebo I presume.

Miguel must have talked to the skinner beforehand when he was being held. remember, the video was turned off, so Miguel could say whatever he wanted to the Skinner, which is probably when Miguel started to carry out his plan against Dexter.

I really liked it. It ended exactly the way I wanted it to. Can't believe there's only 1 more episode left.

I still want to know how Quinn and Angel's girlfriend figure into things.

I loved the opening. Fantastic.

I wonder how far they're going to take Deb's discovery about her father and the CI; it's pretty much a given that she's going to find out the CI was Dexter's mother, but I wonder if she's going to find out the Ice Truck Killer was Dexter's brother as well (and possibly something about Dexter's other life?). Weren't the records about Dexter's brother supposedly destroyed?

I figure the series will end with Deb finding out the truth about Dexter. But that's still at least 25 episodes away.

Loved the opening. Fantastic. Totally surprised me. And I can't wait to see what happens with the Prada story next. How long before Dexter knocks off the next Prada brother?

Was the room Dexter had covered in plastic LaGuerta's? If so, where was she?

It looked like the lawyer's home/office.

Okay, that makes more sense.

The Shield

I'm rather sorry to see Miguel go; I kind of wanted to see his character span more than one season.
