Remove this ad I've always wanted to go there about Harry, but the step brother's own issues and Dexter describing his desire to kill as an urge almost exonerates Harry as being responsible for Dexter's need to kill. Harry's role, as described in the first season, was to train Dexter to not kill innocent people. I go back and forth about Harry being wrong about Dexter, but it doesn't seem like he was. He saw Dexter's anti social or psychotic behavior and tried to deal with it, I guess.

There was a kid in Toronto who committed three robberies and felony assaults and admitted he planned and led a gang rape of a 14 or 15 year old girl. He was 11 then. He couldn't even be charged as he was under 12. The media had a field day with the case, he can't be named or identified. I heard he has committed a series ofmore extreme crimes since then. There were two cousins who murdered a pair of sisters and another person. A really good friend of mine and every other cop in their neighbourhoods knew they were destined to be murderers, as far back as when they were 13 and 14, everyone knew it. Short of summarily executing these bastards at 3am and Dexterizing them, I don't believe psychiatry or the law can do squat for a sociopath who has an appetite for victimizing people.

Dexter's dad who is also a great actor and those scenes between the "dad in his head" and his own "voice in his head" are some seriously tough shit to watch. Why this man is not being respected as an actor along the lines of Jon Hamm who steps up to the plate on Mad Men has to be because Dexter is serial killer than serial fucker.

Well, watching her get chopped up by a chainsaw, and being stuck in a dark container in her blood for days might be a little more damaging than your normal murder witnessing. Also explains his brother more than genetics (which would be really silly) Didn't help that his foster father basically said, "well, nothing we can do but train you to be a serial killer ". Harry probably fucked up Dex as much as his mother's murder. Yes, this is what I thought. Dexter blocked out what he saw as a very, very young child. It no doubt affected him, but I feel that Harry had much more to do with Dexter's current lifestyle than anything else. I almost feel like Harry used Dexter and specifically trained him to be a serial killer to exact some Dirty Harry revenge. Then, when he witnessed Dexter in the act, he realized the monster he created. Poor Dexter. The brother is easily explained as being older when witnessing the horror that went on in that storage container and then abandoned with his only known family (Dexter) being taken from him, and then being bounced around in the foster system & juvenile homes, etc. I am not buying the genetic theory at all.

Or "I don't like where this joke is heading" or something. That whole scene was just freaky. "Choose your weapon." I couldn't tell if Trinity was going to fight Dexter or what. What I don't understand is why Dexter thinks it is a good idea to get so close to a psycho serial killer and try to learn from him. If the shoe was on the other foot and someone was trying to get all up in Dexter's business, Dexter would take him out. Dexter would be suspicious of that person and would find out what he could about the person trying to force his way into his life and Dexter would kill him if he fit his code. Thus, Dexter should assume that Trinity would also be looking into "Kyle" and would be suspicious of this Kyle who is annoying and clingy and has the nerve to get into his sister's ashes. Dexter should assume that Trinity is going to attempt to kill "Kyle" and this whole ruse is stupid. Of course, it does make for suspenseful television viewing. I actually disagree with this. First of all, Dexter is not Trinity. Trinity is apparently even less of a loner than Dexter and is used to integrating with people. Even if they were precisely the same, Dexter got very close with Miguel Prado. Also, I think they're really trying to add a greater sense of hubris to Dexter's character. It's a logical progression. He's gotten progressively more arrogant to the point where he almost acts as if he's invincible. He's been doing this ever since he escaped the whole Bay Harbor Butcher investigation.

Spoiler [+] From E Online Well, we have one to share, but we should warn you: It's something that is apparently so spoilery and so hush-hush that resident Dexter housewife Julie Benz freaked out when she heard that one of her costars told us about it. Julie's reaction? "He said that?!" Followed by a quick: "They'll kill me if I say anything!" So what is the big secret, who spilled the beans, and what else did we guess about Rita that made Julie's jaw drop? The man who spilled the top-secret twist is none other than James Remar (Harry Morgan), who clearly isn't so concerned about being killed off given that, well, he's already dead. "There's an element to the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow) that has as yet gone undetected," James told us at Tuesday's TV Guide Hot List party. Meaning? "'Trinity' is inaccurate about the pattern of his kills." Whoa! So Trinity isn't really the serial-killing, three-person-template-following sociopath we've been led to believe? Did Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine) die in vain? Is "Trinity" even the right title to give the man?! "It may not be," James told us. "That's going to come out really toward the end of the season." Julie, the good little spoiler-protecting soldier, tried to brush off what James told us. "You never know! There could be some truth to that; there could not be some truth to that. Sometimes James…runs a lot and gets light-headed." Trinity obsession aside, Dex (Michael C. Hall) and Rita are headed for rocky ground once more. "We see some cracks in Rita's veneer," Julie told us, which lead us to ask her about this theory: that Rita be looking for comfort in the arms of their too-friendly-and suddenly single-neighbor. "I plead the Fifth," Julie denied, with a grin that clearly said we were on to something big. "Rita's not as perfect as people think she thinks she is."

Perhaps the fourth kill is a male in his thirties and because the person is buried alive the police (and Lundy) have never known there was a fourth. I think Dexter thinks he has Trinity not really figured out but close enough to where Dexter feels comfortable in his knowledge and his guard is down. Young woman, older woman, older man, ..... younger man? As long as it isn't a kid. Or - maybe Trinity has a ritual with a coffin where he sleeps in one to be reborn and forgiven for his actions. He spends the night and arises cleansed and ready to go again.
