@mpnl2110 жыл бұрын
I don't remember exactly, but Trinity had a pattern in the way he did the murders, ending every "cycle" with an older man being bludgeoned with a hammer, and Dexter killed him with a hammer in his table, not his usual knife. Then, when Dexter gets home we find that he had killed Rita in the bathtub before and had also kidnapped a little boy a few days prior to that, so it was like he was doing another cycle and Dexter ended it the same way Trinity did everytime, with an older man beaten with a hammer... Idk, I just remember thinking it was poetic at the time, haha
@SuperSaiyanLink09310 жыл бұрын
mpnl21 Dexter wasn't really completing it. I mean, you are conveniently missing the "mother" figure that jumps off the building. It is true however that Trinity killing Rita was meant to be a twisted continuation (not a young girl) of his already messed up cycle (since Dexter saved the little boy), and it stopped halfway only because he was murdered.
@mpnl2110 жыл бұрын
LinkSword I don't really remember it, I saw it long ago, but there WAS a suicide (forget all the details) the reporter that was his daughter and was dating Quinn shot herself and before that the boy was kidnapped (though he didn't die). Then Dexter bludgeoned an "older man" with a hammer, and we find out after that Trinity had killed Rita in the bathtub. Even though it isn't the pattern exactly you have to admit that was what they were aiming for, Dexter DID end the cycle with the hammer, that's all I was saying (kidnapping - suicide - bleeding out in a bathtub - bludgeoning with a hammer)!!

Go back even further, to De Palma's films: Obsession and Blow Out. He's terrific in both. Then, mix it up a little bit to around 1982 with The World According To Garp, where he plays Roberta Muldoon, former tight-end for the Philadelphia Eagles. He is just wonderful and completely the opposite of his evil characters.

@@Bundy72 The death of his wife leaving his son sitting on blood (like he used to) was the perfect full-circle ending to Dexter. Unfortunately the show was sooo good they had to continue and I don’t blame them for that. Only it just went downhill (obviously it became difficult for him to keep hiding as his wife had been directly targeted by the main killer Miami Metro was investigating on). Anyways, how to top such a climax? The following relationships he had with other women like Lumen and Hannah just felt blend and forced at this point. Dexter New Blood was a brilliant idea to bring him back in a Fargo-like setup. But the season was way too short (and therefore rushed). I wished the show would go and on for many decades as we desperately NEED Michael C. Hall in our lives. Big fan from 🇫🇷

The grandiose narcissism, glibness, superficial charm, selfishness, lack of remorse and empathy, the manipulation e.t.c His ability to change mask from nice family christian man to a blood thirsty serial killer was just fantastic. Thoroughly deserved to win the Emmy for sure.

The greatest part about Lithgow is that because he is an immensely spectacular actor, he carries a little piece of each character that he plays in his own mannerisms.
