[TV] Dexter - Page 52

WHAT THE FUCK COME ON HOW COULD THEY KILL HER... please let that have been a hallucination

Wow at finale... I don't think any of the finales can even touch that... Holy shit... thats just fucking mind boggling. Now we gotta wait forever for the next season, what is going to happen wtf dude Rita has been in the series since the start, this is just fucking nuts.

How the fuck do you kill yourself and get blood EVERYWHERE?
And who the fuck kills themselves in front of their kid? Well I guess just in case the suicide itself wasn't traumatic enough, right?

I could see Dexter getting accused for rita's death.

Intent
1st. Quinn already had suspicions that Dexter was cheating on Rita. Police may think that Dexter just wanted to get Rita out of the picture.
2nd. The police can probably easily find out that they were seeing a marriage counselor and guess that there were problems going on in the marriage.
3rd. Elliot, the next door neighbor, can say that he kissed Rita and Dexter found out and punched him for it. Police can conclude that Dexter may have killed Rita out of jealousy.

Opportunity
1st. Dexter knows everything Trinity's MO. It would be easy for him to stage a crime scene.
2nd. Depending on when they determine the time of death, Dexter could potentially not have an alibi.

The series of events as I remember it goes like this.
1. Trinity goes to his house to take anything valuable.
2. Rita leaves and Dexter goes to Trinity's house.
3.Trinity's house gets raided by the police.
4.Dexter sees the windshield in the garage and realizes that the car is at the repair shop.
5.(Not showed in the show but we can assume) Dexter gets to the repair shop and removes the gas cap and then waits for Trinity.
6. Trinity picks up his car and drives away while Dexter follows him until the car breaks down.

This means that trinity must have killed Rita anywhere between Trinity taking the valuable stuff from his own house and Trinity picking up his car at the repair shop. So it leaves Dexter with quite a lot of time alone and with no alibi.

Idk, I can't wait for next season though.

There was a little commentary afterward between the actors who play dexter and trinity (hall and lithgow). Lithgow was saying how genius the writing was for the dexter killing trinity scene because how we were almost building a sympathy for him while deep in his words have a completely different intention. I don't remember verbatim but it pretty much said that Trin did kill Rita, so I don't think that is in question. Unless they really want to throw us off for next season.

I couldn't beleive this... just finished watching. Thank god I had the self-control not to click on the spoilers. Blows my mind. This show just got more awesome in my mind. I don't know how he's gonna handle this. Being a single dad of 3, working a fulltime job and killing in his offtime. Jesus.

No way can Dexter be a single parent + serial killer. A friend of mine was reading one of the books and she said that in one the book Cody was showing signs of being a sociopath and Dexter was going to teach him the code. I can see that unfolding now but overall I thought Rita was a staple to the show. Her dying without his ultimate confession is also trash to me. I really really wanted to see her reaction The whole Deb thing is ya, what a dumbass.

he was in the kitchen and i told my friend "i'm waiting for the huge mind fuck" and he's like "there's no mind fuck coming" and then he calls her cell and it rings and i was like OOOOOOOOOOH SHIT

fucking RIDICULOUS
it was good as fuck for the show but i miss rita she was hawt and nice and they never even went on their honey moon

Really like the evidence you compiled, but there are a few more things too that I noticed:

a.) Dexter drove recklessly, fled the scene of a crime (hitting someone's car), and had to be restrained and arrested by police officers, further indications that he's unbalanced.
b.) All of trinity's killings of women in bathtubs were young, and apparently single. They represented his 16 year old sister who died. Conversely, the women who he had commit suicides were mothers. Rita doesn't fit the profile of Trinity's victims - she's young, yes, but also a mother of 3 and a wife.

Also Dexter found his baby at the scene of the crime - something the trinity killer didn't do at any of the other crime scenes.

Police also knew Dexter worked the Trinity case and probably knows its details. Problem is, Rita's killing doesn't match Trinity's MO enough: It'll look like Dexter tried to cover up killing her by pretending it was Trinity.

Plus Dexter punched Quinn - another sign of imbalance.
Plus we've never seen Dexter cry (at least, I don't think we have). Police and relatives will expect Dexter to definitely be sobbing, but I doubt he'll be doing that - people will misconstrue his reaction and assume he isn't taking Rita's death too hard.

yea it was awesome for the show, but I am still recovering from the shock, I'm gonna miss Rita.

ANyways, I've never seen a more unpredictable season, like the fifth season is gonna be. We have no clue whats gonna happen (only thing we might assume for sure is Debora finding out who Dexter really is, but what's gonna happen next after Rita's death we have no clue)

The finale surely was... baffling
