best season of Dexter imo, what a sick sick sick ending.
This beats S3 by far, and I thought that one was very good.

Didn't like the final. Don't like such "oh but hey it just happened so". Rita died just because of bad luck. Doaks died jsut because of incredible bad luck. It's not like Dexter already have enough troubles, The killer was hanging out in the head quarter for quite a long time, Batista saw him and dexter talk...


My prediction for the future season
+ Show Spoiler +

I have the very strange feeling that they will just wipe out all this mess and magically start from nothing.
Like they did with Doakes.
It will be just a bad compromise to get the routine back and stay in the same crew.
Good move would be to change city, get rid of the kids maybe just keeping his baby. (like sending them to their grandparents or something).

But yeah I think like the previous prediction.
Dexter has totally been set up as a bad husband who killed his wife and tried to disguise it as a suicide. Quinn will be the next Doakes. I'm really not exited about the coming season... Hope Ill catch on, ive been a huge fan till now



The cops already know that Trinity is Arthur so if he did just call the cops then he would just look like another victim in the cycle. I dont see how the cops finding Rita will make them think Dexter did it. Personally, I did not like the ending...
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Ugh... you're right... Batista did see Dexter talking to Arthur Miller... did Batista not recognize him when they posted his picture on the crime wall? Wasn't he like "Yo, that guy was just here talking to Dexter omg wtf." Maybe it's a plot hole they won't address in Season 5.

IMO this season was the best since season 1... but I think the show has run its course... I'll probably still watch it... the producers have shown they can rebound from two crappy seasons... maybe they'll make Season 5 as good as season 1 was... but I doubt it... Jon Lithgow made this season.

I liked that Dexter found a friend for the first time, one he trusted, one who betrayed him in the end, i liked how everything unraveled. Although the finale sucked, it was still a great season imo.

Dexter got what's coming to him though. As some one who kills people it's only fair he loses his own

Of course I think S1 >> S3, no doubt, but S3 >> S2 for sure. I hated the way hairy situation (in S2) got solved by illogical actions. That's all I'm saying.

The people complaining that Dexter didn't kill enough people this season will be super upset if he is a single parent next season. Having to deal with Rita will be nothing compared to having to raise two children by himself. Hopefully the kids will go to Rita's parent's place to give Dexter plenty of alone time.

he can just say that he said that he was a visitor and lost or some shit like this and that they talked about the weather and football and whatno



Dexter is so awesome because they always find new interesting plots

first season: nvm you can do what you want in this
second season: caught or not caught? caught or not caught?
third season: jipeeehh...I got a friend....or not
fourth season: I now have children and a wife...I gotta be responsible and bettermyself
fifth season: teaching the children the code...or sth. like that there are 1000 possibilities


Quote of the show:

trinity: you are like a child
dexter: a child with a big knife

Next season will be interesting. It'll probably time jump a few years to where Dexter's son will start to show his own dark side. The other two kids will end up being like Deb (who will end up having a special interest in them). I predict the end of the series will have Dexter killed and have a voice over done by his son, in a Mighty Max it all starts over again thing.

Just thought I should drop my lil comment about the Dexter series since it has been such a refreshing watch on the TV. I really loved season 1, every episode was like a movie in itself and you were almost satisfied after watching one of the episodes - yet you couldn't bare with waiting for the sequel, the next episode. Seasons 2 and 3 didn't really had that great of an impact on me and I thought they were more dragged out and not as carefully written. This current final season 4 on the other hand was and is much better. Just the first episode (0401) made it seem like it was almost a new show! I think the reason I loved season 1 and 4 was because of the main story that both of them held, also the characters stories were more interesting to follow. I can't wait what season 5 has got in store for us... + Show Spoiler +

I started watching Dexter when we had a free trial of Showtime On-Demand. I was lucky to have the whole first season at my thumb, and I subsequently spent most of my waking life devouring the first season (it was Christmas holidays). I was drawn to the show because of the moral premise -- is it okay for a person to be a serial killer of other murderers? And I kept watching because the show had some psychological depth to it... revealing plausible reasons for why Dexter became the monstrous contradiction that he is. Each episode was like a good movie; the show was truly original.

In a perfect world, the show would've ended there. Now Dexter is still a good show, don't get me wrong, but it changed its tone. A previous poster said it well, the series is now about Dexter navigating the social world -- season 2 he found a lover, season 3 he found a friend, season 4 he got married, found another friend, and became a father to some kids.

So, I guess, for me, season one set the bar too high, and everything that followed hasn't lived up to that incredibly high standard. I guess I'm evaluating the Dexter series as a whole, comparing it to other great television shows whose whole series was outstanding. To get a little off topic: The Sopranos had, arguably, two weak seasons -- the one that focused on Tony and Carmella's marriage, and the one with Steve Buscemi. The Wire had no weak seasons (and is my favorite TV series so far). I'm currently watching Six Feet Under, and so far after two seasons I'm still impressed (it's like two seasons of deep character development set against the constant spectre of death). Christ, I watch too much television.

Explain me few thing.
How trinity found where Dexter Actually lived?
The end was like Born In Blood. Like the killer knew dexter's childhood.
The "Father" voices getting more and more like "kill kill kill" voice "you muuuust kill like I said"
--
Of course it's quite impossible that Dexter killed Rita.
But the message they are sending is that it might as well been him (at a subconcious level), would have been the same.
Of course, they could never have done that because dexter would become very unlikable. Bad thing for a main character.
This is what Trinity said in the end about path written by god destiny blablabla...
--
Don't know about you but I had really no joy from him killing Trinity. He was just that sad little guy who is waiting for God to stop him or whatever, can't finish the deer he ran over.
On the opposite, loved season three when he killed Miguel, such a pleasure as that guy was so arrogant.

You really only asked one question here :D
+ Show Spoiler +
Trinity found Dexter using white pages reverse look up. Remember he found debs house first? He probably just went to the next "D Morgan" in the book. And yes, I believe it is meant to show how Dexter is responsible for Rita's demise and how he probably just turned his son into prima version of himself by allowing Rita to die in front of him in a similar fashion to how his mother died in front of him. Dexter is going to end up being like harry, he didn't want this life for his son, but since it will become unavoidable, Dexter will help him embrace his fathers legacy in a way he could never do for harry


Next season should be SICK.

Agree with 0x64, it was a blast when he finally killed Migel. Not so with Trinity. I wonder if it really was Trinity who killed Rita. Then again, if he didn't, why did he act surprised when Dex talked about family?
Can't believe Rita is gone, even though at times annoying, she developed into an important role in Dexter's life. In the end he even had FEELINGS (felt bad for disappointing her) for/because of her. Now she's gone, wow.

I dont remember Trinity discovering Dexter has a family, so if Trinity didn't go to his house, it would also be a surprise anyway... But yeah. sadly he did
