Carboys Desire, I finally saw this episode, and wow, that was fantastic. Arthur/Trinity's sense of tradition is fascinatingly twisted. He's going to extremes to create/recreate the perfect family he had (or never had), yet he ends up abusing his son just like his father did. His guilt over his sister's death leads him to "protect" and lock his daughter in her room, but it only warps her sexual maturity. And to top it all off, he seems to have raised Christine to carry on and honor daddy's dark legacy.

I wonder about the daughter's hyper sexuality, could it be that Trinity is sexually abusing her? After all, he DID have a thing for staring at his dead
sister taking a shower. He called his daughter Vera.

I didn't pick up on any sign of sexual abuse so much, much more emotional abuse via for example locking her in a room decorated for a 6 year old.
And I didn't pick up on any hypersexuality either. She needs to get out and will use whatever she has available to do so. What was chilling was her mom's assumption that Dex had already done something to her and her larger worry not to "tell Arthur." Note how the reporter chick uses sex to get her way with Quinn.... |

Sheltered girls don't offer to trade sex with an adult to escape their home life.
The mother's assumption seemed to me to be based on what she sees as Arthur-style behavior. The vibe I got, is all the women in that family unit see the man's role, as abuser, as the default position. |

Dexter let down his guard far too much around Trinity. Too many people saw him with him. I feel like something BAD is going to happen by the end of the season
because of this.

Yep, I agree that Arthur has probably sexually abused his daughter and not just one daughter. If Christine really is his daughter, then I could see some sort
of sexual relationship there. The whole thing is just entirely creepy yet fantastic. One of the best episodes of Dexter ever this week.

I think Trinity is going to kill one of his family members. My guess would be one of the daughters, probably the reporter. His son destroyed Vera's ashes
and he needs more for his ritual

It used to have a light touch, with Cuban music playing and a code killing almost every week in addition to the overall arc and the domestic life. Now we have Dex killing an innocent and not much fun on the home front. I loved the Thanksgiving scene at the Trinity household, but was hoping for a Agatha Christie where the whole family took turns stabbing him. My only hope is that Rita will show her tits again and all the deus ex machina will be forgiven. |

So I was on IMDB looking up the name of the actress who plays Arthur's daughter and found something interesting.
Jonah and Arthur's last name is Mitchell - but Sally and Rebecca's last name is Simmons. I wonder why that is? |

Kirblar wrote:This is what I was worried about earlier in the season about Dexter getting so close & intimate with Trinity. However, I don't think Dexter has anything to worry about once he does in Trinity. First of all, Dexter could somehow make it look like an accidental death or set up Trinity & Slut Reporter as a murder/suicide, thereby leaving no reason to suspect anyone else. Secondly, since Trinity is a serial killer and Deb is getting closer to discovering his identity, if he "disappears" the police would believe he took off to elude capture. Once the shit hits the fan and Trinity is linked to all the murders over 30+ years, nobody is going to focus on the possibility that Trinity was killed by someone else, the focus is going to be on Trinity's crimes. |

Those preview clips have me very impatient for the next episode. What a great season this is turning out to be.
I am still leaning towards the 4th kill being a little boy to represent Trinity when he was a child. I cannot wait to find out who it's going to be. |

While I want Dexter to plunge that knife into Trinity's heart, a family vengeance plot would be a nice option.

I never get sick watching a show. From alcohol poisioning yes, tv no. But this series had me throw up after he broke that kid's fingers.
And blowing a dude to keep him in line, attract him whatever is not hypersexuality its just nutty but slutty. Men dig the BJ's... so women do it to keep them around and clearly she needs to do that as her cooking and her nutty stalking behavior is insufficient. The other two techniques that also keep men. (not that I know.. I use drugs!) |
