I don't see why it would be so bad for Dexter to have a partner in crime. It adds complexity and an added suspense to Dexter's overall ordeal as a serial killer.

I'm calling that the vial of blood on Jordan Chase's necklace will be Rita's. We know that Trinity had at least one accomplice, his daughter Christine who shot Deb and killed Lundy. Anyone remember what Trinity said about Christine to Dexter? "She was weak." Meaning possibly that she couldn't 'TAKE IT'.

I also think trinity was too eager to get away and too smart to risk it. Chase bled Rita out copycat style.

My guess is that Trinity, who actually killed four not three, revealed after 30 years, possibly killed more outside of the series. I'm also going out on a limb and saying that Cole, Boyd and the 3 others teenagers (at the time) were photographed by Trinity on some kind of Religious Retreat where they were born in blood.
man that would be sick. even if youre wrong they should hire you to write for the show!

See, I hate it. It just doesn't feel right having someone in on his dark passenger and rituals. IDK, maybe I'm averse to change but I cringed when he handed her the slide, etc.

Rita s4 > Lumen > Rita s1-3

Stiles looks good at certain angles and meh at other angles.

Anywhere to see the previews for next weeks episode, not the 2 spoiler scenes they give you on SHO.com.

loved the kill scene in this episode, probably my favorite scene of the season...everything about it was great including Stiles and her reaction as Dexter is going through his routine

The supporting character stuff in this ep was way better than anything without Dexter in a long while. Sadly, it was the Dexter scenes that were bad this week.

Beyond the door stuff which was mentioned, I lol'd at Dexter's attempt to get the accomplices names from security dude. He tells Lumen that he can be very persuasive with his knife so I'm expecting some Jack Bauer action, but the guy refuses to give up the info so Dexter just kills him.

By the way, it seems that Dexter's dad has totally gone out of the picture now that he has Lumen to bounce his thoughts off. Which is interesting, cause it would seemingly signal that, in the minds' of the writers, his dad was more of a device to add dialogue to the stalking scenes than an integral part of the character/show.

I also noticed that Harry isnt around anymore, I figured it had something to do with Dexter departing farther and farther from the code.

I didn't love Rita but I don't think she ruined much.
I think I hated the kids more than Rita. In hindsight killing her and the kids off was essential for story progression. How many more marriage trivialities could we have taken?

Really enjoyed this scene, 'Do you want me to go' etc, 'Stay the night' then placing the do not disturb sign to set up the kill room might be one of the most twisted love scenes ever.

Also the photos are def of luggage going on to the boat.

Maybe he's taking his new girlfriend to stay at one of those underwater hotels I've been hearing so much about.

Do we think they're ever going to bring back "The Bay Harbour Butcher"?

Lumen at least, if she knows the story, should make the connection.

Robocop is still missing a bunch of pieces but it could be something that comes into the picture.

i have been really surprised that more people have not commented on his father fading out as Lumen came in

of course it could also be as simple as it's hard to talk out loud to your imaginary dead father with someone standing right there watching everything you are doing.

good point. i also dont get why dexter was so weak in his interrogation too when it was primed up earlier in the episode.

i wonder if they are going to diffuse robocop's evidence in the first part of the show (i consider this unlikely) or drag it through the rest of the season very slowly like they've done so far (much more likely). The longer it takes to settle though the more likely the problem spreads though and I dont know how dexter is going to solve it. Maybe this is the season he becomes a fugitive. Or goes to jail and starts ending fellow prison-mates from within prison. Itll be less work in terms of investigating his victims which will be replaced by efforts required for secret killing within the confines of jail life.

Lumen wont. She arrived in the area like two weeks before Rita's murder. Robocop might make that connection, but its possible he will just consider it a copycat situation.

Hard to say, we arent really sure exactly what Robocop is thinking right now or even how he will act on it.
11-17-2010 , 03:16 PM
i almost made that same post, Phill, but the bay harbor butcher was national news (I assume)
11-17-2010 , 03:18 PM
Yea, they found dozens of garbage bags filled with the remains of murdered humans. I'm pretty sure that would have gotten some Balloon Boy-esque national coverage.
11-17-2010 , 03:24 PM
Yeah, fair enough, change that to Lumen might but might not.

I have a friend who during the last world cup had to ask who Steven Gerrad was. Like one of the most famous footballers in the world and captain of our national team. Some people dont know much news.

But again, if she does she might just consider him a copycat, same with Robocop. If she makes the connection and researches the case she may see the MO with the cheek cut is the same, but its hard to say how much of that is made public. Dexter also has a slightly different dump method since he doesnt weight down the bags.

Unless they specifically bring it back up in the show i wouldnt speculate if they will reopen a story from 3 seasons ago. It would be nice if they did, but shows tend not to do so.

Spoiler:
From this clip from next week, it really looks like they are indeed shapin Jordan Chase into a villain on the same level as Dexter

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lyk2Up40_zM

But if they are, their pacing is horrible. When i think back on Rudy, they started building him up right from the very start, even though they only put a face to him about 9 episodes in. If Chase does turn out to be a serial killing mastermind, they've left it way too late in the series and spend too much time screwing around with other stuff to get to this point.

Wild theory: Jordan Chase captures Dexter, and Lumen rescues him。

Or Robocop captures Dexter and Lumen kills Robocop. Dexter kills Chase. Laguerta kills herself.

Okay the last one is just wishful thinking.

Why does lumen have to suck so hard and ruin every scene she's in?

This certainly seems possible, but I hope they don't do it, cause it's too similar to Lila killing Doakes.
