Dexter (Season 4) - Page 2

I am afraid the team is very good at writing themselves into corners. Everytime the build-up is gripping, very intense, but the resolution is pretty stupid (to various degrees though). I'll still watch the 4th season for sure.

The problem with the show is that it's too well written for the TV format. The climax occurs sometime around episode 9-10 out of 12 total and then the rest of the season is 'falling action' like how a novel would be written.

Either Deb or Rita need to find out about him this season.

Just to discuss some clarification on the subject of last season... The only person who ever knew Dexter and his brother were related was the archive employee who died from lung cancer. And she destroyed the records saying that Dexter was a Moser son. Thus, even if Deb reads the personel files, all she could find out is that her dad was fucking the Ice Truck Killer's mother... which, I guess might cause some drama, as she fucked the ice truck killer...

Right?

I'd prefer Rita find out so that he can finally kill her. Can't stand her character.

Rarely do I get excited about anything, but Dexter is one of those things I just love. Been anxiously awaiting the new season.

Deb will eventually find out about him. It has been foreshadowed a great deal. I can't imagine how it will resolve, but it will be AWESOME.

Lost Ranger · 05-31-2009, 01:23 PM

I just don't see how that can happen unless it's a series finale. No way Deb/Rita just let him go and Dexter can't/won't kill them because of the code. I can see Deb getting close, maybe even Doakes style close but finding him out can't happen until the very end.

The only major difference between the first book and the first season was Deb didn't find out. In the book she wakes up in the basement on the table with Dexter and his brother and hears their entire conversation iirc.

I'm surprised they've gone this far in the TV show without her knowing. I don't think it's far fetched at all that she will.

Right?

We only have her word for it that she destroyed the records though. There might have been copies that she wasn't aware of, or that she herself secreted them away for whatever reason.

Besides, if all else fails, there's always the DNA that links Dexter to Brian, though it would be quite a story twist to produce an event where the DNA comparison between the two could come up.

Nice Keith Carradine is back and John Lithgow. Seriously good actors on this show every season!

Wow, wasn't expecting Lundy back. This should make for an interesting twist for Deb.
