Also, someone mentioned season 1 but if you think about it we also have shades of Season 2 with Quinn = Doakes and Next door neighbor guy = Rita's Lila. I have to wonder if all the symmetry isn't on purpose but I haven't figured out why yet.

If this symmetry is going somewhere, like the doe-eyes between La Guerta/Bautista, it's running out of episodes to hit a punchline. Everything's been throw-away implications until now and a maelstrom of revelations is going to feel rushed. In theory they might be building up to a set of cliff-hangers for next season, but at the moment it's just getting messy. FfffFff.

Wife and I just finished Season 2.
Also, are we the only ones that wish Dexter's sister would just die or go away forever? I can't stand her character at all, she's like a bitchy whiny child but more annoying.

In the spirit of jumping the shark, many called this "blowing up the shed". At least we got a final "motherfucker".

It was pretty obvious a mile off what was going to happen, for exactly that reason. If anything else had happened it'd have been the series finale.

Ummm...wow. That series finale was a game changer in some ways and left me with so many questions about how they'll do things next season.

I imagine it will go the direction that the books have. If you would like spoilers from next season head here.

If you don't want spoilars I'd suggest not reading this thread any more.
Saw the ending of the finale coming from about 15 minutes in, didn't reduce the impact too much though.

I saw it coming a few weeks ago, was kind of surprised it happened though. The impact is going to be.... sigh.

I have a peculiar ability not to make connections or draw conclusions when I watch or read fiction, even obvious things I otherwise have no issues with. It's a kind of blissful ignorance to be honest because things like these take me by pleasant surprise and have me smiling for hours.
That said, this season was absolutely sublime. In my opinion the best season yet because of its exceptionally high and even quality.

Woah. Well, this season definitely makes up for the throwaway disaster that was the previous season.

...anyway, yes. Better by far than the previous two seasons. I hope they're turning Quinn into another Doakes.

This season really did end up better than the last two. I liked it as much as the first season, primarily because of John Lithgow's character.

Bumping for good news: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/dailydish/detail?entry_id=62165Actor Michael C. Hall has beaten cancer, according to his "Dexter" co-star and real-life wife Jennifer Carpenter.
Hall announced he was battling Hodgkin's lymphoma in January, but Carpenter tells the Associated Press her "incredibly brave" husband has returned to work and has been given the all-clear.
She says, "(He is) fully recovered."

No idea who she is. I'm pretty sure I saw at least one of the Bourne films and I almost remember her face, but I guess she didn't really stand out for me. She reminds me of one of those Brady Bunch girls.

I'm 99% sure that after the last episode of last season that this show is over for all intents and purposes, and there's nothing that hot chick can do to change that. Not even tits. Well. Maybe tits.

After how bad Season 3 and most of 4 was I'd say the end of the most recent season was the only way to actually save the show.

What? Season 4 was bad?!?
You are honestly the first person who has said that to me.

"Mostly" being key though.... I'm polluted by too much book knowledge so when I see them pulling punches it weighs on me.
Season 4 wasn't "bad" in total, it just had early shades of being lame. Don't get me wrong it straightened up pretty quick and turned into a better season than I ever would have guessed. I agree Lithgow was great.... I think Season 4 fixes alot of things I was not liking. I think it's fairly reasonable to say it still wasn't as "tight" as 1 and 2 though. It's just fault by comparison.
