I was bored and watched all three episodes that have been aired so far on OnDemand. I actually think the show is pretty damn good so far, I like the character a lot. [Reply]
After two episodes this season, I was convinced Dexter had jumped the shark. Now the show is as good as ever. Well, maybe not as good as season 2 when Doakes figured out that Dexter was the Bay Harbor Butcher, but still pretty doggone good.
I especially liked the part where Dexter's imaginary ghost stepdad told him that he was proud of him, and if he had known Dexter had that ability to put himself out there for other people, he'd had have taken him down a different path and not turned him into a monster.
I also think the writers did the right thing by turning LaGuerta back into a scheming bitch. I absolutely hate the subplot where she and Batista suddenly fell in love with each other and abruptly got married. That was a f*cking stupid thing on an otherwise great show. [Reply]

I think they're setting up for him to quit. I'm not sure I like that. [Reply]

I have mixed feelings about that. I would hate to see the series end. However, I remember how much I was rooting for Dexter last season to stop being a serial killer and live happily ever after with Rita and the kids. When Dexter found Rita's dead body in the finale, I was shocked and saddened.
I think that shows the genius of the writers and Michael C. Hall himself. They've got us so heavily invested in the Dexter character and rooting for the serial killer so much that we want him to be happy even if it means the end of the series. [Reply]

That's two seriously messed up couples. Looking forward to their double date. Could this need to spill into another season? Wrap up the Quinn stuff and close the barrel girls case a second time with 4 dead/missing suspects, but leave a dna cleared Jordan and the blood in pendant girl for next season. Seems we've only just begun with them.
It's easy to see that Julia Styles will get pinned with murders, but after Jordan "Zero Cool" Chase kills her when she tries to do it solo. Which would leave Dexter alone again dealing with family and " dark passenger" issues once more

That's a possibility, but these writers aren't exactly predictable, save for the third season. Besides, that's what they want you to think. She may be the fall person, they may both get off, or Dexter, due to the numerous mistakes he's made this season, may finally feel the noose begin to tighten in season 6
