Dexter Season 4

Post by Alien Redrum »

I'm in the middle of this right now and really digging it.

The decision to use John Lithgow as Dexter's antagonist this year has so far proved to be very solid. Except the part of him running around naked all the time. :lol:

I really like when Dexter gets pissy with the new detective, and how he doesn't mix words with him. Nothing passive aggressive here. :lol:

I know you wrote this before the season started, and I'm wondering if you still feel the same way. Thus far, the baby has not been detrimental to the season at all, and has actually added to it (how the little bastard is fucking with Dexter's system is awesome).

The only thing I really didn't like about this season (so far) is the neighborhood vandal storyline. I liked the neighborhood watch aspect of it, making things difficult for Dexter, but I didn't like how it closed out. It was kind of lame.

Please, please, please use spoilers if talking about the ending, as I heard it's a doozy. :D

I actually have not watched an episode of S4 yet. The slow decay of the series from 1 to 3 really annoyed me and turned me off watching S4. After seeing all the praise it's getting I will definitely watch it eventually, but I am in no rush.

That was my impression going into it, I figured I'd watch the first episode anyway. For me it rivaled the intensity of the first season, and was all around stronger than seasons two or three.

It's about time they got a new cop to replace Doakes. The way they played out that storyline makes me think it'll probably be a big element next season. I hate that guy. :lol:

I am up to Episode 6 so far. It's an OK season. Better than I expected, but nothing "wow" yet.

Well you'll probably underwhelmed with it since the general public really liked the ending. :umm:

I was a bit underwhelmed by the ending to be honest...
Spoiler:
I like that they killed her off, and it was a nice twist to it. I was expecting someone to be killed off, but I thought it would be the sister. After she had told Dexter about finding out about his brother being the Ice Truck Killer she gave that little speech about Dexter making her who she is and that she loved him I immediately figured that Trinity was going to kill her. So Rita getting it took me by surprise somewhat (they made her such a cunt this season that I assumed she was going away eventually).

Lundy getting killed was the surprise of the season for me. I didn't expect that one at all.

As far as the ending goes, I didn't like the heavy handed parallel drawn between Dexter and his son. I thought it was overly cheesy.

Curious to see how they will handle the kids next season though.
Overall it was a decent season, some ups and downs but definitely on par with S2 in quality.
