Good call on that one…you might be on to something there.
I’m really hoping the big twist isn’t:
That other guy Dexter thought was his dad wasn’t - it’s really Trinity!!!1111one!!1 Yawn. I don’t know which would be worse, that or the eventual revelation that Harry gave Dexter the code he’d created for himself. I’ve been waiting for the latter forever, but they haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Not a big twist but I thought the twist at the end of the season would be that Harry IS Dex’s dad…and not necessarily a twist but Deb finding out Dex’s backstory would also occur. They already showed that Dex’s mom was next on Deb’s list of former Harry CIs to interview. When she finds that that one is dead she’ll look into HOW and even though that clerk destroyed a lot of the paper trail (IIRC), its always conceivable that something was missed.
The problem with that was that Dexter’s dad was already established, by DNA, in Season 1.
Rigth - but this will confirm Dex’s mother and brother - I don’t doubt that Deb (who probably wont share the info) will have a major lightbulb moment.
Was it? I recall that Icetruck (Dex’s brother) had the body removed and burned before Dexter could get a DNA sample or am I misremembering?
Dexter took a blood sample from the body before it was burned and had it tested.
that I did not recall… ::kicks dirt::
We don’t know who Rudy/Brian’s bio dad is…
Now that I think about it Dexter did want to check the body again for injection marks or something but found it was burned before he could do that part of it.
Maybe that’s what’s confusing people they’re remembering the failed test and not the part where he did get the blood sample.
The blood sample part just sticks out in my mind because Deb was such a bitch about it. Actually chewing Dexter out for having it tested. Of course Dexter had every right to find out for sure.
So Christine is dead and Dexter pinned the Trinity crimes on another guy so he can kill Arthur. I am not convinced Dexter kills Arthur.
The reason I think Arthur might survive is
The final episode is called Getaway.
Okay, first off, another great episode
Second, I really had a hard time believing that Deb would have gone in to Christine’s apartment alone. I didn’t think she was gonna kill herself, but as soon as Deb said “She’s going to confess” I assumed she was going to try and kill Deb.
Third, I know they’ve got to build the drama, but when Aurthur walked into the station I figured the best course of action would have been for Dexter to yell for someone to arrest him, and then…I’m not sure. I want to say he could have brought out all the evidence he has against Aurthur, but as he wasn’t officially on the case I’m not sure that would have been a good idea…maybe he could have pulled Deb off to the side, and just told her “Don’t ask questions, just listen, here’s everything I know about him, just trust me on this and I’ll explain later” and she could have presented it as her evidence…maybe he could have come forward as the person who found the missing boy and said that he saw Aurthur’s van (or Aurthur himself) fleeing the scene (which is currently in the parking lot). I’d imagine that they would have put him in a cell long enough to get the kid over to the station to ID him.
Also, I have a hard time believing Dexter really didn’t notice that big cargo van following him around.
Arthur’s pretty damn smart, and if Dexter wasn’t always in such a hurry (way too much on his plate!), he’d have realized that Arthur was playing him – twice. Once to lure Dexter to the second Kyle Butler’s apartment and again to lure him to the arcade. Maybe he played him more than that – there was so much going on tonight, I probably missed something.
I really want Arthur to know that Christine killed herself rather than give him up. And as good a job as Jennifer Carpenter is doing this season, kudos also to Courtney Ford (Christine).
Did I say that Rita would tell Dexter about the kiss? If I didn’t, I meant to. She’s just that type of woman. Sorry, folks, but if it was innocent and if you regret it, keep it to yourself. Damn but I can’t stand that character. I liked her better when she was a real vampire instead of an emotional vampire.
Bijou Drains, I wouldn’t put much stock in that episode title. “Road Kill” involved a deer.
I can’t see Arthur surviving the season. As good as Lithgow is, I’m ready for Dexter to have a new adversary.
On preview, Joey P, that might have worked if Dexter hadn’t already set up the other guy to take the fall. Speaking of which, that’ll fall apart like a house of cards if anyone really looks into it. That truck driver would have had to be in all those towns on the dates of the murders, and truckers keep logs. I think Dexter goofed when he disposed of the guy’s body. If the truck driver is supposed to be Trinity, they’ll keep looking for him, which means talking to his friends, relatives, employers, etc.
Hmmm AP, I have to totally disagree that Arthur lured Dex to the second Kyle’s Apartment. In fact, I’m not even sure why you’d think that, I’m wondering if you missed something (or I missed something). The arcade on the other hand, yes, very much so. In fact, that whole scene was kinda weak for me. I mean, Dexter should have figured that out right away. It seems like the writers just needed a quick way to get the two of them within 50 feet of each other so Arthur could tail Dexter…but the cargo van, really, I’d think Dex would be too observant for that.
Yeah, I hadn’t finished that though, I knew it wouldn’t work, but usuallyDexter is pretty good at thinking on his feet and I figured if there was someway he could get Arthur in a cell, he could very quickly find a way to pin him as Trinty and wrap everything up, the next episode could be used for the family fallout (Deb: “Dex, I can’t believe you did all this behind my back, you knew this was my case, I didn’t need any help” etc)
Why did he goof getting rid of the body? If the cops find the body the DNA won’t match and they’ll have some questions but it’ll mostly be on a back burner, if they don’t have a body they have to keep looking, they keep wasting time until Dexter can do what he needs to do.
OTOH, I can’t believe he did this all in broad day light, in a parking lot, with his own car. If there’s any kind of cameras, Dex is royally fucked.
It’s complicated, and maybe I’m giving Arthur too much credit. I think it was a lure because Arthur killed the first Kyle. As soon as he saw that Kyle wasn’t the guy he was looking for, he knew that if he killed him, Dexter would find out and try to protect the second Kyle. He had no other way to find Dexter.
I don’t think they’d bother with a DNA match on Brodie’s body, not with all the other evidence.
The Kyle that Arthur knew wouldn’t have even heard about the first one being killed (unless these happened days apart, but Arthur went straight from Kyle 1 to Kyle 2 (or at least within a matter of hours), if he didn’t and the second Kyle was the right one he wouldn’t want him to know or he’d [Kyle] not be in the house waiting for it). Also I’m pretty sure that upon finding out the first Kyle was wrong, he assumed the second Kyle would be the right one. Also also he left when he saw the pictures on the desk…or so we’re led to believe.
Interesting, I wonder if they would check for that. I don’t know.
Another stellar crying performance by Jennifer Carpenter (Deb). She’s the most realistic cryer on television!!!
Does it really matter? Wouldn’t they assume that Trinity himself tried to set up the truck driver.
I think I was dozing off and didn’t see that Trinity used the arcade as a way to get close to and tail Dexter.
Was the scene at the second Kyle’s apartment a similar ploy? I didn’t understand why Trinity left so soon…did he see the pictures of Kyle and realize that wasn’t the guy he knew?
Not unless they first realized that the truck driver isn’t Trinity, they only way that’s going to happen is if they take a DNA sample from him and find it doesn’t match the DNA they found on the hair brush/toothpaste etc.
Yup.
