Lovin' it - Lumen brought some new life into the show that I didn't even feel with Trinity last season... I've always been on the fence about Dexter - I keep watching, but I've never really felt like it was that good of a show - but Dexter's new life without Rita and Lumen's character are absolutely invigorating! And the last 10 minutes of this episode was the most intense segment I've seen on tv in years. Early in the season, I was actually rooting for Quinn to catch Dexter, now I'm rooting for Dexter and Lumen - the characters are finally very interesting to me!

Of course the Laguerta character and story line... bleh, at least she's finally clearly a villian, and hopefully the other brother will finish her off!

Does anyone find the name Lumen to be an odd choice? I sure do.

My thought is a little heavy handed, but not really odd.

Bill Needle

In what way is it heavy handed?

I'm thinking that it is a bit too close to luminol which most of us know what it is used for and makes her name a bit of a joke.

A lumen is a measurement of light, and she came into Dexter's life in probably the darkest moment in his own.

She's there to bring some light and direction into his life.

Bill Needle

She's the "light" passenger.
