The first episode couldn't be great after the way the last season ended. They had to lead it into something so that he can get into his old ways .. which is gonna start happening hopefully next episode.

Still the best show on tv.

They could have made a great episode after the last season's ending.

Something like when he runs off he falls into a nest of dickheads like a child porn ring and fucking obliterates them.

Season finale of Spartacus meets season finale of Dexter. Bloodlust.
 
The mom comes back somehow, at least that's what the producers were saying at the beginning of the summer. Thought season 4's ending was lazy as fuck. Can anyone please tell me how he killed her? It makes no sense and it's just...lazy.
 
the flashback of Dexter and Rita's first date and him asking her out for the 2nd one wasn't even in the realm of believability. He was a total chode on their date and he fucking ditches her at the restaurant. Then she's all zomg I feel so good when I'm with you? Fucking weak ass sauce. But whatever I'm glad that bitch is dead. She was annoying. Hopefully next week will be better.

Clearly you didn't see season 4's ending because Dexter didn't kill her.

Well, in defense of the writing, Rita was seriously broken. I don't find it far fetching that she would grasp at anything she had a chance to get, considering the abuse and all. People who get abused tend to go into other abusive relationships.

I thought the episode was a bit slow, but I also understood it kinda had to be a different episode with the way it was going right from end of season 4 to beginning of season 5. I have a feeling this will pick up speed quickly.

PS Not having an Arthur Mitchell is going to hurt. :bowdown:John Lithgow.
 
It had its yawn moments but I felt it was unavoidable with what they're trying to do. It was meant to be showing dexters realisation that he's developed emotions with his family so it was bound to be long and drawn out. Even typing it makes me want to yawn but you know how they are with character development and somehow thinking its necessary.
My guess would be Rita comes back as a hallucination like his dad, if at all.

Now how's he going to manage all this serial killing being a single dad?
 
I wasn't crazy about the first episode, but give it some time. If this season is anything like the books (I haven't read the books, but heard a bit too much), this season will be pretty wicked. Especially when the cult starts getting involved (no spoiler- this was previewed at the end of episode 1).

Just remember Julia Styles is in this season, and we have a good chance at seeing boobies.
 
Are they still running from the books? I thought they'd given that up during season one. The ending was completely different and subsequently changed the entire second season. They couldn't have made the second season from the second book with how season 1 ended.

They take what they want from the books and spice other parts up (from my understanding anyway). From what I have been told, Rita's death was in the books. Let's just say Dexter's relationship with Rita's kids will become very interesting :)

I imagine while Dexter was stealing the part from Trinity's car is when he killed Rita.. it had to be early in the morning because she turned around from going to the airport to get something she forgot and then got killed.. then Trinity goes to get his car -- Dexter follows.. and all that time Rita is dead.

So she turned around, decided to take a bath, he came in and slit her throat? Still makes no sense, but I think I've made my point. It was really rushed and sloppy, that's the OBVIOUS thing Lithgow's character would do to get back, but it still doesn't make sense that it actually happened.

I think the writers are back pedaling on that decision and are going to work her back into the show, at least that's what I read in the interviews.
 
I didnt really have a problem with the episode at all. I guess my expectations were not that high, seeing as they were going to have to ease into the season and try and simply explain a few things.

The thing that blows my mind is I have also heard rumors about Rita coming back somehow. I'm not sure how I feel about that...and if it happens is it going to be Harry and Rita battling it out each one on one of Dexter's shoulders giving him advice, or what?

Personally, I just want the show to skip ahead 15 years so we can watch Dexter train Harrison to be a bad ass serial killer as well.

That's gonna suck. Nothing is ever as good as the original.

Then it'll spin off into some shitty Dexter Jr. on Nickelodeon or something, egh.

I just want to keep seeing Dexter kill people, that's it. I'm easy to please.

Good point. But for now I will give the writers a bit of credit, and can at least hope they make it quality...and not Nickelpodeon/pedobear type shit.

Yeah, I'm assuming she can only come back as a hallucination. Otherwise it would have to be something really stupid like, "zomg Trinity is actually a master plastic surgeon and the dead-Rita in the tub was just an imposter; the actual Rita is chained up in a dungeon somewhere."

I'm interested to see if they follow the Astor/Cody story line from the books to some extent (I've just read the synopses). I thought Astor running out crying and then subsequently yelling at Dexter was forced and artificial, but maybe that was on purpose. Astor sees that Dexter has completely flat affect, and she's upset not because of that, but because she herself doesn't really care, and that troubles her. Serial killer trio - Astor and Cody kill Trinity in the season finale, after Dexter preps him, of course. In that case it would make some sense for Rita to come back ala Harry because those are her children that are becoming like Dexter.
