Possible spoilers regarding the fridge blood. + Show Spoiler + And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. well, they care enough to not get caught before they bring about the end of the world. they might not be as careful as some to leave absolutely no trace, but they also wanna stay out of custody long enough to complete their steps. | ||

(horrible experience to say the least) It makes me wonder if today's pop culture is an accurate representation of the subject or just entertainment. Does this show do a good job of covering the subject of sociopathy? Any avid Dexter fans wanna summerize how the show explains the subject? I've never watched myself. Honestly I think it really does a good job portraying a sociopath. Ive read all the books and seen every episode multiple times. Ive watched documentaries on Ted Bundy etc, and I feel Dexter is an accurate representation. But with that said, every sociopath, like every normal person, is different. Dexter has been through very unique experiences, especially how his father raised him. Because no known serial killer has been through the circumstances Dexter has, we don't know how a person in real life would respond to it. But i feel the show does a very good job at it. Dexter is on one hand capable of being a normal functioning person, but his darkness takes over once in a while, and while the darkness is "driving" he is capable of what any serial killer in history has done. Watch the show, it's totally worth it. But start from the beginning! | ||

I swear they throw that in every other monologue. We get it, you're dark, you struggle. Stop being so fucking introspective, melodramatic, and emo. Shit or get off the pot. Bring me back my season 1 and 2 bad ass Dexter. Be conflicted, sure, just don't fucking whine about it for the entirety of an episode. | ||

Be conflicted, sure, just don't fucking whine about it for the entirety of an episode. I think the idea is that the dark passenger is becoming a bigger burden and harder to overcome. In the early episodes he had his training from Harry and it was as simple as that... He could stay detached from everyone and everything and just stick to his "business." But as time has gone on, he's learning that things aren't as simple as his Fathers training might have implied. I think the turning point really was the death of Rita (remember the start of last season?) since then the dark passenger really has taken control of Dexter, rather than the other way. Either way, this Dexter is definitely different to the one we were introduced to in the pilot... And I for one am glad, do you really want to see a character not develop at all over 6 seasons of a TV series? | ||

It's a realistic turn for the character. Dexter was never really a good guy. He was a serial killer trained to channel his urges on bad people rather then normal people. It doesn't make sense for him to turn towards the good path, he was a serial killer from birth. You don't shake something like that, you only drift further towards it. So, Dexter turning more reckless would make sense. I just hope they don't pull some lame move where he ends up turning "good" again near the end of the season. This turn for the darker should be a turn for good. | ||

This turn for the darker should be a turn for good. i feel like it's actually exactly the opposite of the "truth" How many of the kids that torture animals and how many of teenagers that lack empathy grow up to be serial killers? Very very few. His father was just living out his fantasy of punishing criminals he couldn't touch through his son - soemthing extremely common from psychological standpoint. I think the way all the previous season have developed it was shown to be correct by the show writers - his supposed need to kill never manifests itself except for in Dexter's own narrative and over the course of the show he displays compassion for many different people. Dexter's own narrative that contradicts this point of view seems to stem from what his father told him - even the term or the idea of Dark Passenger that his father, i believed, coined. I feel that it would be a lot more in tune with Dexter to stop killing at all then to go more violent. | ||

I'm pretty sure he is dead and is somehow manifested as a part of Colin Hanks' personality, not unlike Dexter's father. He has not addressed anyone besides Hanks directly, and when they were at the restaurant he did not even have a place setting in front of him. Regardless of whether it ends up holding true or not I am pumped about how much discussion I sparked. Bravo TL. | ||

Totally looks that way, good times  !Also does anyone else think maybe Anderson or Masuka's new intern will be the "next" person to be suspicious of Dexter or whatever like the guy from S1 that fucking hated him? LOVING THIS SEASON! I died a little inside when you called Doaks the guy from season 1. Love Doaks best character ever. | ||

The term "Dark Passenger" was actually first used by Lila in the early episodes of season 2, in the diner just after the AA meeting Edit: On November 10 2011 04:43 zalz wrote: It doesn't make sense for him to turn towards the good path, he was a serial killer from birth.
