While this season has been good, there's no topping John Lithgow and the whole "Trinity" season last year.

I stopped watching after the 5th episode. I've read the books and loved every single one, but showtime took a different direction & that's probably why I've been hating "I have emotions" Dexter. This season sounds interesting though. So, I need to catch up.

Unlike most fans, I've been digging this season. The whole Dexter befriends a big public and charismatic figure was already done back in season 3 with Miguel Prado, but this one is different.

Last night was good. The whole thing with Libby is the part that has me on edge, even more so than the Jordan Chase thing at times...

I like both, but have to say I thought the 3rd book was trash (thought he was back on track with the 4th one tho).

I'm waiting for this season to hit iTunes so that I can take a week out of life to watch it.

the books are good. you got the names, and can amazon them, but, and now i forget what the book was (read maybe 3 of them), but it got way, way, way too much into the "dark passenger" and some more mystic ****.

you never want to snub the die-hard book fans, but there are many elements of the books that you just cant do on a tv show. (also, does anyone think they should have shown the brutality of sgt dokes? i mean, friggin, cmon... that was just BRUTAL in the books).

if you hate season 5, just remember its dexter, and that its amazing. watch it. julia styles acts circles around julie benz. she is just so ****ing good.

TWO MORE! HERES TO A PANTS CRAPPINGLY GOOD FINALE!

Yeah,...I couldn't stop thinking about that for a good three or four days. What if Dexter had let Trinity kill himself, or killed him earlier,...what if Rita hadn't gone back to the house to get her,..passport/whatever she forgot (dumb b****). But I guess it's all setup for season 5 however (I'm somewhat appraised of the situation thanks to wiki).

Is it just the Season Finale,...or Series Finale?

ahhhhh! the interweb wont tell me if its been renewed for a 6th season. i can see it both ways. i mean, its not season 1 dexter, but season one didnt know itd have a chance to make the characters real.

also... i mean, how long can he kep it from deb? she killed without remorse... umm... common talking point anyone? if they do or do not do a 6th season, i wont be surprised either way. i just dont see him and lumen bonin after stabbing and vutting up corpses. its just... odd...

Agreed. John Lithgow as Trinity was the best.

This season is hard for me to watch because of the rape and torture. I have an extremely hard time with it.

And it bugs me that the audio from the DVDs do not properly represent how horrible the whole thing was.
