ya but even dvdrips/screeners look kinda sucky on a computer monitor (unless you have a really low res monitor)
They do look good (like normal tv shows) if i use the tv out and watch on the tv instead but i still prefer to watch 720p/1080p my computer. ^_^

Holy crap I didn't see THAT coming! I knew something was up with the reporter but I wouldn't have guessed she was linked that tightly to Trinity. I guess the question is does she know and help him cover it up?
Just watched the season finale, and just wow. The ending had me baffled. I did not see that coming.
The episode itself was like other finales. Police closing in on the prey, Dexter has to race to get to him first, facing obstacles on his way and so forth. The standard finale layout. But i could never have predicted that ending.
I just remembered how I came across this show, and I think it was thanks to this thread a few years ago (judging from the front page). So... thank you guys, it's a great show. ;_;
Anyways, this season was pretty good. I was worried the writers were taking a step in the wrong direction after a mediocre season 3, but this proved me wrong. Interesting nemesis + bringing back cool killing methods for Dex (the buzzsaw from Season 1 on the trucker, plus Trinity's death :O), and of course a pretty good cliffhanger ending. My favorite is still season 2 though for some reason, Doakes vs Dexter in hand to hand combat was just badass... unlike wussy Quinn just falling over like a chump.
2>1>4>>>>>>>3... We'll see how season 5 fares.
Just watched the season, and I thought it was a really good one. I wonder how the ending, which caught me by surprise, but kinda thought something was going to go wrong once Dexter entered the house... I particularly thought that someone had witnessed Dexter doing something wrong and it was going to be revealed then. Maybe Quinn showing up...
Anyways, I think Debra and Dexter are going to move in together. It also won't surprise me if a new family member shows up and tries to take custody of the kids.
As an admin, I'm going to invoke the double posting rule breaking provison for a moment.
What do you guys think of some of this ideas (some not mine):
1. We haven't seen the last of Rita. She'll appear like Dexter's dad... she like the anti-Dark Passanger.
2. Already mentioned above the probable custody battle.
3. Rita's death not being due to Trinity, but some sort of copy cat. Maybe the neighbor? Maybe one of Ritas ex's we don't know about (I think it was mentioned she had been in 2 or 3 previous really bad relationships)? Quinn? An unknown friend/acquientance of Trinity?
4. Rita mentioned she used to be a wild party girl, so Dexter realizes he didn't know much about her as he thought he did (kinda like his dad), as he goes through Rita's past to find her killer.
I don't know, plenty of good theories I've seen around. Quite excited for next season, can't wait for it.
I'll just focus on these two because they're the most interesting (IMO).Originally Posted by Munsu
I actually hope we do see the first one, because after this, Harry (really the Dark Passenger itself I think) is going to be on Dexter's case non-stop. Lots of Dexter self-doubting himself and the life he had chosen through "I told you so," and other phrases like that. She can show up and try to keep Dexter on his path of balancing everything. He was getting pretty good at it, but so much went wrong at the end with Trinity because he got too hasty and panicked after he got found out, and Deb finding out about his mother and his connection to the Ice Truck Killer didn't help any. A phantom Rita could help convince him that one mistake doesn't mean that his plan was completely wrong.
I like the possibility, but I really think that Trinity did it, though there is certainly room for interpretation either way, but I think the case for Trinity doing it is stronger.
Trinity definitely found the Deb's apartment first, but instead of murdering her (which would make Dexter and he have a similar past) he left pretty quickly and had more than enough time to find Rita back at the house having forgotten what ever it was. There was also the line Trinity gave Dexter when Dexter was about to do the deed, "You've already lost it." It seemed like he was just mocking Dexter and his naive plan to have it all, but once you heard the phone message and Rita's phone ring inside the house, it took on a very different light immediately.
That said, the way that Harrison was just sitting there, exactly the same as little Dexter almost implies that someone may indeed have known exactly what happened to Dexter when he was young...or perhaps Trinity didn't leave Deb's place as quickly as we thought and read through all the papers she had just recently found in order to break the news to Dexter. The bathtub fits Trinity's usual pattern, but he wanted to make Dexter suffer uniquely for what Dexter had done to him.
Someone else could have done it, but in the final hours, Trinity had enough time and was in the right places to learn everything he needed to know to make Dexter suffer that much more.
But if Trinity had Christine, who is to say that he didn't have more random children that are about her age?
Considering that Dexter just about has solved all the important mysteries of his life, I would think that a search for the real killer of Rita, and as a consequence he solving some mystery about Rita's past is on the cards. He already found his mom's killer. He already found his bro. He already found out about Harry's past, and is still questioning his code.
So, I think a search for Rita's real killer is in the cards as a mystery for Dexter to solve. He already had a friend, been persuited as the Bay Harbor Butcher, and he just experienced the mother of all serial killers, so what's next really?
I actually think the case for someone else killing Rita is stronger than the case for Trinity killing her. Rita was dead in a pool of blood, and the baby was kind of just there in the bathroom. This series kind of focuses on the ritualistic nature of the murders that serial killers do. I don't think trinity would've killed Rita in that fashion just to get back at Dexter. He would've used another method; he needs to keep the ritual sacred. As far as I saw, he didn't have a chance to bury a little boy, so the woman in the tub couldn't have come yet.
That's not to say that trinity couldn't have been the killer, but I think the ritual is more important than those words. I admit that the things that the "It's already over..." thing Trinity said is suspicious, but until this point in the series, I haven't seen a serial murderer deviate from the ritual. It's always done completely, or not at all.
Now, if I'm right and the killer is not Trinity, then I think the killer is very likely to be someone who knows about Dexter, as has already been mentioned. The murder does look like a frame up of Trinity, and the baby actually sitting in all that blood just seems like too much coinkidink. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if it was someone Dexter knew. I'm gonna go ahead and call this one. Masuka did it.
Wow, Masuka... he certainly was more than wierd towards the end. And he seemed to take Rita kissing the neighbor quite hard. Good call there.
While I can respect the joy of wild mass guessing I feel you all should know that the identity of Rita's killer was revealed in an interview with one of the executive producers. I won't spoil it for those who still want to speculate but unless they go back on what they have publicly stated the question of who killed Rita has already been officially answered (perhaps a poor decision considering how debatable the ending left the question).

Those are lies! They won't fool me.
Well, in any case, Dexter season 5 needs to start now.
Michael C Hall (aka Dexter) has Cancer?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100113/...michael_c_hall
It's in remission it seems, but still...
Dexter season 5, Deb and Dex team up to kill or be killed by a psycho. A monster the likes of which Dexter can't even imagine. A ggggghhhhooooossst pirate!
Can't start soon enough.
Sigh, so sad Darla is dead. =(
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
Looks like Julia Stiles is signing up for Dexter:
http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2010/05/...-julia-stiles/
OH YEAH!
Love Julia Stiles. Sad to see her going to television though. Think her talents is to good for television. But whatever. Good to see her join Dexter of all shows. Wonder what role she will get. Like the article said, it seems to soon after Rita's death for her to be a love interest. So maybe a investigative reporter? Or maybe she just get some housewife/random non-threatening female lead that will become a love interest further down the line (yea i really want to see some romance involving Julia)?

I hope this season can keep up with or even up the ante on last season. I think the elements they showed in the trailer could come together into something excellent. My biggest concern would be that Quinn doesn't just end up being Doakes 2.0 without much new to bring to the table. Then again, we could get a rehash of season two with more emphasis on Dexter's mental state deteriorating and perhaps an even more spectacularly messed up climax and I wouldn't find that all bad.
