I liked it overall, but what they did to the wife’s character...I just don’t know...They may be working on some sort of overarching plotline, making Dexter more free to deal with the “dark passenger”, but I tyhought she was a good balancing character that helped “humanize” Dexter. I guess I’ll just have to wait to see how it develops next season, but I am dubious as to whetther it was a good thing for the continuum of the Dexter narrative.

Well. I don't know anything beyond having a season 5. My wife picked up on Rita being dead before Rita was shown. Said the clues were in Trinity's reactions while listening to Dexter prior to Dexter killing him.

I certainly hope the writers are up to the task. He most certainly is in for a wild ride.
