Something I've always noticed with this season is every kill done by Dexter seems to have a consequence. I don't know if it was meant that way or not. But Something bad always happens after every kill and I've always thought it was some kind of message. Might just be me though lol. Great review.

After seeing John Lithgow in movies such as “Blow Out”, Ricochet, Cliffhanger and Raising Cain, I definitely knew that he was going to be the next perfect adversary to Dexter, since his brother Brian. John Lithgow was always great at playing very sinister villains.

9:37 I always found Quinn's reasons for suspecting Dexter stupid. "He doesn't want anything to keep quiet about me taking money from a crime scene so there's something strange about him." At least with Doakes he could tell Dexter was off having seen killers like him in both the Special Forces and as a cop, found out Dexter knew that Brian had been the one to try to kill Batista and kept it from Miami Metro, Dexter getting excited at murder scenes and too into describing them, he looked into Dexter's past and found out about Harry's suicide and Matthews covering it up and so on.

5:04 At first you think he's a guy obsessively compelled to re enact the death of his family then it later turns out that him wanting to kill himself wasn't guilt for his murders but self pity about being responsible for the deaths of his mother and sister and killing his abusive father. With the family man, deacon and home builder all being acts so no one will suspect him of being a serial killer.

I just finished rewatching this season (after watching live back in the day) and my biggest “WTF Dexter” moment has to be the part in the finale where he finally gets Trinity, after taking that guy’s side-view mirror off… and instead of just driving Arthur to the kill-room using Arthur’s van… he deals with the cops. Idiotic, and Harry lets him know it. As a consequence, spoiler spoiler spoiler. That said, the complete lapse of reason did help to illuminate and complement other bad decisions by Dexter, e.g. “that scene” in the New Blood finale. Dexter’s been a fuck-up since at least S3. S1 is the only one where he pulled it all off. I don’t want to call it “idiot plot” when Dexter messes up, it’s not like what he’s doing is easy.

I truly enjoyed this easy and it is probably my favorite of the series. I feel like 1, 2, 4, and 5 are the most solid and the ones I don't typically get tired of and can binge all the time. The end was unfortunately spoiled for me, but seeing my husband's face when we watched it was pretty fun, lol. We were lucky that we got into Dexter after season 5 so we were binging the summer before Season 6 started. We didn't have to wait, but I can imagine how agonizing that was. Also, gotta love that you are encouraging work truancy, haha. I do think my husband and I played hookie to finish this season if I'm not mistaken. Or I did. One of us for sure called out because we finished this at 3am. I remember that.

Yeah.... that’s one of the things I thought was lazy writing. Dexter is so meticulous and methodical.....BUT all of a sudden he’s none of these. Doesn’t make sense that in earlier seasons he’d do his “homework”, bide his time, plan every move out and have multiple exits ready in case to bail, etc. Also, the Dex has trouble with romantic relationships but all of a sudden becomes a total simp in the last season. I mean come on, man!

I'm gonna say it...I think season 4 is kind of over-rated. I like season 5 better. For one think, I think Trinity's daughter is a plot contrivance that does not work. - Where does she come from? Was Trinity a family man once before? Why does he hate her so much? She is an aspect of Trinity's personality that is never explained and just comes out of no where. - Why does she kill Lundy? There are 1,000s of women with daddy issues that don't try to get attention by killing someone. It makes no sense.
@Xehanort102 жыл бұрын
Arthur mentions to Dexter that before he met and married Sally he was with a woman called Lorraine Hill who he had Christine with but the relationship fell apart. I think he hated her because her existence threatened the "perfect family man" cover he had to hide him being a serial killer. And she killed Lundy because she was afraid he was getting too close to realising Arthur was Trinity.

For the Superman movies, the scratch poster says "1978, 2003, 2003, 2003, 2003, 2003." Not only were 5 Superman movies not released in 2003, but exactly 0 Superman movies were released in 2003. And that's just for one of the movies on the poster. These posters are awful. Not your fault, Cody, but people should not spend money on these

Definitely one of the greatest tv seasons in tv history season 4 of “Dexter” John Lithgow as Trinity -Arthur Miller was a master stroke having him as the villain, he was superb in movies like “Blow out” “Raising in Cain” & “Cliffhanger” as the bad guy but in “Dexter” he was the devil in disguise. My all fav scene in the series “Hello Dexter Morgan” in the police station, John Lithgow was made to look 8 ft tall & a beast, DAMN great scene & just when things were back to normal in Dexter’s life towards the end of the season, then the final scene WTF 😳😱🤬

The X-Files term was actually called “Monster of the Week” episodes, and the X-Files being a supernatural show, the term works. But since Dexter deals exclusively with human monsters, probably “Freak of the Week” is the better phrasing for this show.

Fun Fact: in the first Dexter book, Brian killed Laguerta. Also in the books Rita doesn't die until way later like in the 7th book. After the first season, (which was similar to the fist book)the show stopped following the books and went in its own completely different direction. I recommend reading all 8 Dexter books.
