EPTI was more disappointed that apparently no one at the police station grabbed the girl's cell phone and was like "hey guys maybe we should check the call history on this thing"

one thing i've never understood with dexter. why does he not let the police capture the bad guys? it doesn't seem to fit with his code of killing only bad guys, it shows how he cares more about just killing people than the fact they are evil--yet he seems to care about innocent deaths | ||

Either way this episode was kind of slow and not much happened, but I feel like it set up for a crazy finale. + Show Spoiler + But yeah, he went out of his way to set up the trucker just so he could kill trinity which seems like a lot of work. But at that point what if trinity outed him to the police? Not that he knows that Dexter is a killer, but more that Dexter knows who he is. It is similar to his Doakes dilemma from season 2, but this time he has no moral qualms about killing Trinity. Not to mention how hard he has been working for trinity and to let the cops get him would be kind of frustrating :O | ||

But anyways, looking at this guy it was rather likely that he had killed more than one person and was definitely able to do it again. Epic last scene this episode, face-off at the police station. | ||

Wasn't he supposed to kill only the people that slipped through the justice system? No, he's just a serial killer. He doesn't care at all about the justice system. Dexter has even purposefully messed up evidence so that killers could slip through the justice system so that he could kill them. The thought of Dexter finding a killer and then calling the police before killing them is crazy. He'd probably even prefer if the police didn't get to a person first because then he has less to cover up. | ||

I think whats going on now is they're trying to show that Dexter needs to constantly go after harder higher profile targets to satisfy himself. | ||

I think whats going on now is they're trying to show that Dexter needs to constantly go after harder higher profile targets to satisfy himself. as someone else said already, its because he enjoys killing them, he's always had a need to kill, especially in the case of trinity, he's like the granddaddy of all serial killers and dexter will take a lot of pleasure in it. most of the time he picks ppl who have slipped through the justice system, but the special ones stumble into his view and he won't hesitate to lead the police the wrong way if they are also on the trail. so yeah i think it fits with his character very well, he is a serial killer, he enjoys killing bad/evil guys as much as he cares about his code, and part of his code is not getting caught which might happen to include misleading the police, plus it might be boring without some conflict between him and the law. but if you've watched the series he starts realizing that sometimes Harry's code has to be bent. | ||

In season 4 he has to swap between a lot of more roles, and the one he decided to take on while in the arcade - the loving, caring brother - wasn't the right choice in order to notice and evade Trinity. Dexter has obviously changed during the four seasons, and it is starting to affect him. In short, caring and thoughtful brother Dexter could never have spotted Trinity in the first place, while it would have looked otherwise if he still had his "gameface" on. I am a bit disappointed by the episode - even though it had its moments, I was somehow expecting more (Hungry Man is still fresh in my memory). The next episodes name gives quite a hint of what is happening, but I am still unsure how the writers will bring all of the storylines to an (satisfying) end. | ||

Why on earth is Maria Laguerta a needle in your eye though. Because she's a woman? I can't see much reason to dislike her character. Anyways, this episode was exciting but I get the feeling that the last couple of episodes have been rushed, and too much weird stuff is happening. Someone else notice that Dexter seems closer and closer to a nervous breakdown? He's been really stressed out lately by everything and it's noticeable. | ||

V - (text also contains spoiler from the first book) + Show Spoiler + I cant put my finger on it but its something about her character that just infuriates me, she should have died like in the book... And I don't think its because she is a she, If it where, I believe I would have problem with more people in the show | ||
