Dexter & Trinity Interview - After Final Episode [Season 5 Discussion] SHOWTIME

[@aaoppe]

John Lithgow is a fantastic actor. The only other actor I can think of who can convey both goofy silliness and pure evil as well as he can is Bryan Cranston. It's like they went to the same school.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

James Spader too

[@ocifer]

Yeah, I thought of James Spader

[@tacticalpacklimbo129]

Just imagine John Lithgow comes back in a ‘third rock from the sun’ cameo 😂

Yes!! Both actors can play both roles incredibly well!

I was seriously hoping that the ending was just a nightmare he had, but when it ended completely I was devistated!

[@Desekratedd]

That's what I thought!

[@larrywuzhere3866]

Yes it was an abrupt shock- I was too emotionally attached to her. I don’t think I felt that much pain when I divorced my ex. It was hard going forward without Rita- Julie if you read this hmu

​@@larrywuzhere3866that comment made me laugh, damn your ex husband 😂

[@harveyatlaw]

When Lithgow is talking about how they took a "goofball" character and flipped him into an evil human being. All I could think of was Bryan Cranston's portrayal of Walter White in Breaking Bad. Lithgow as Dick Solomon flipped into the Trinity killer. Cranston as Hal in Malcolm in The Middle flipped into Heisenberg. Both portrayals are fucking legendary.

[@tyronewarren6662]

John Lithgow is a very talented actor. His acting as trinity is one for the books.

[@CaptChiggs]

He had lymphoma cancer during the time. The chemo caused the hair loss. you can actually see his Golden Globe 2010 speech where he is completely bald and wearing a beanie. But all is good. The cancer he had was very treatable.

[@sandragill9916]

Same, i am bingeing first 8 seasons then watching the new one

[@wraith1117]

I think as an actor, to play a part well enough that EVERYONE hates, is pure talent. I have to agree with those in the biz that voted for John to win an Emmy for his role as the Trinity killer. Man he was all that and a bag of chips.

[@kendallrivers1119]

John is da man that's for sure. Getting Emmys for both comedy and drama, and being convincing as both Dick Solomon and Trinity is amazing. John and Kelsey Grammar are among my top favorite actors.

[@sandragill9916]

Love these two sitting down talking , what a pair. Cried so many times in this season , wheered when dexter tackked Trinity in the kitchen at thanks giving

So cool that they felt comfortable enough to do this interview after everything they went through, still can't believe they were able to restart Arthur's heart long enough to do it. Truly amazing!

[@87in7]

The whole season built up to that moment. That last episode had a really big impact on me...

[@Laf92]

Rita and Trinity leaving in one episode was heartbreaking

[@cerena]

I HATE that she's gone. I loved Rita and Dexter together. Those will always be my favorite episodes. The writers said that Rita's representation in the show is as Dexter's tie to humanity. By having her killed, Dexter has now lost his humanity. . and its technically his fault that the one innocent part of his life has been merged with the dark part. I think it was an amazing season but I miss Rita!

[@mclovinlife4018]

Two amazing actors that both have an amazing voice.

Season 5 literally went like this: FBI: Did you kill Rita? Dexter: No. FBI: Story checks out. You're free to go.

[@Xehanort10]

And unlike Doakes who had good reasons to suspect Dexter before he eventually found him out Quinn's reasons amounted to "He wouldn't take my bribes to shut up about me stealing money from a crime scene."

Yep, I feel like a horrible person but she annoyed me. She was a sweet soul and didn’t deserve what happened, but as a character, I wasn’t fond of her.

[@notyetaladie]

I did exactly what John Lightgow said he thought people would do. I rewinded to the scene where Dexter kills trinity after I saw the scene with Rita's death to see if there were any hidden messages. It was really intriguing.

[@ninjamatic5000]

I have not watched any episode of dexter after season 4. From what I keep hearing, John Lithgow and the Trinity Killer have set the bar so high, that there's nowhere left to go. I keep hearing disappointing things about the next seasons. I'm kinda scared to watch any further.

[@cassandrafoster616]

I think you are correct, and if you didn't go on with the knowledge that it peaks at the end of season four, you would just end up being disillusioned. That being said, go on and watch the rest, because there is a lot of story that changes Dexter and Deb's relationship. So there are some awesomely shocking moments, but the show ends... they leave it open ended because they want the option for a movie. :P
