In the hope of being proven wrong very soon, that's a pretty big plot line they haven't touched on this season.

They said at Comicon that if/when(they remained dubious) they touch or plan to touch on it to the point of Debra figuring more and more out, they want to be sure they execute it perfectly because it's such a game-changer. So basicly that means they will try to write it at some point (might be this season, spoilers remain very well hidden for Dexter), but if they don't get it good they might never do it. Would suck if they never do it obv. But I think MCHall at least sees that it is necessary to go there someday.

At what point do they consider ending the show? I thought it would've been great if they had ended the series with this season being the last -- and focusing that on Dexter finally getting caught. If it were executed correctly, it would've ended the series on such a high note.

At the end of S3 they signed for 2 more seasons

Though I remember them saying at Comiccon there would be " a lot more seasons ", now I think about it that could actually be a level by them
Would be sick if true .

My theory is that it was actually the neighbor guy that killed Rita, and just made it look like trinity.

Trinity killed RIta. Maybe others were involved but Trinity bled her out.

I can't remember but how did Dexter first find Trinity in that hotel?

This is stupid, unless you're kidding, in which case it's merely a stupid joke.

Does nobody remember Trinity on Dexter's table essentially confessing to Rita's murder before Dexter even knew about it? He says something like "it's already done" or whatever. How do people watch the show and come to any conclusion other than Trinity killed Rita? Do you people watch Friends and assume Ross and Phoebe are figment's of Chandler's imagination? Do you have arguments after The Sixth Sense over whether or not Bruce Willis was really dead? Some things are not up to your interpretation. Some are, but this isn't. Trinity killed Rita.

Trinity said "It's already over" many times in the season, usually before killing his victim (in response to their attempts to resist). It was something of a "catchphrase" of his, not at all a confession that he killed Rita. My best guess is that he was always referring to how the impending murder is preordained; something he must do, something that is a foregone conclusion and impossible to stop.

I agree that he killed Rita, but you picked a pretty bad example to try and prove your point. The fact that you did this (butchering the phrase mind you), and then went on a mini-rant about how dumb other people are who watch TV is pretty LOLtastic.

I don't see how you think it isn't up for interpretation. I think you're forgetting this is a show with unbelievably crazy plot twists. Oh and btw, that ******ed comparison you tried making with Friends and The Sixth Sense was a bit ridic.

SPOILER TAGS MUCH?

In the post-season interview Lithgow and Hall confirmed that Trinity killed Rita.

The 'Ice Truck Killer is my brother and we both know it' reveal was a bit cast-offish. For all the build up of Deb searching Harry's records and meeting his old contacts I was hoping for more than what they gave us.

Film's been out 12 years already. Also, Rosebud is his sled.

I do love it when people overthink stuff.

Here is a clue, Dexter has never had a multi season "twist". It is stated it was Trinity just slightly short of showing the guy. Unless something special happens please stop posting these theories on how it was actually the neighbour (who had zero ****ing motive) or how Trinity worked with Cole (yeah, seriously, im calling you ******ed again for that theory).

Its like how people watched Inception and they were desperate to find the hidden truth so they assumed that Cane was doing an inception on Leo and hiredJGL and Page to do it in some ridiculously complicated theory. Some things are not that complex, sometimes the butler did it alone and sometimes it is the terrorists who bring down the towers.

I disagree. The example was fine.

I don't think you understand what "butchering" means.

Agreed!

No it wasnt. Again, here's why (hint- try to read it this time):

I understand what you wrote. I just disagree; I think he was subtly telling Dexter he killed Rita, because he used his "catch phrase" in that context. But we can agree to disagree.

Anyway, my larger point was that there are some obvious, key big picture things that a viewer has to catch -- and one of those things is that Trinity killed Rita. You and I both understand that, and madden90 doesn't. That's all I was saying. Carry on.

If anybody else but Trinity killed Rita that would be so absurd I'd stop watching the show immediately.

It's actually pretty likely Dexter killed Rita but just cannot remember because he has such a busy work load.

haha

+1, did you guys even hear the 911 call? Come on.

It was Dexter. It baffles me that people don't think this is obvious. He even said "It was me." during the 1st episode of the season, clearly a tiny moment of honesty from his subconscious.

Is there a new episode this week?

Oh I get it now. Dexter killed Rita and used her blood to bathe his child in her blood in the hopes (subconsciously of course) that his child becomes a serial killer like him. Hence, the cycle of the serial killer family continues. Now that we've established this important plot, the only way to further develop any storyline would be to flash forward 20 years in time where Harrison ends up exposing Dexter for the killer that he is and kills Dexter in the same manner that Dexter kills his victims! Ironic yet genius.
