Rewatching Dexter - 4.10 "Lost Boys", 4.11 "Hello, Dexter Morgan", 4.12 "The Getaway"

2013-05-24T11:09:00.000-04:00

Rewatching Dexter by DexterDaily. A look back at the past seasons of 'Dexter' and our favorite serial killer's victims. Today, we're going to remember the final three episodes of the fourth season: 4.10 "Lost Boys", 4.11 "Hello, Dexter Morgan", 4.12 "The Getaway". Hit the 'read more' button for more!

Dexter finally believes he understands the beast known as Trinity. But when a ten-year old boy goes missing, Dexter is forced to question everything he's learned up to this point. It's a race against the clock. And with each step forward, Dexter has to confront the real possibility that he may have more in common with Trinity than he'd like to admit. Secrets abound — from Cody, who is forced to defend one of Dexter's lies, Masuka, who can't bring himself to confess what he witnessed at Thanksgiving, and Debra, whose recent discoveries force one of Miami's finest into making an impossible decision.

Dexter's victim: None

Dexter's worst fears have been realized. Because of Debra's unrelenting pursuit, Miami Metro is just one step away from discovering the identity of the Trinity Killer. And Dexter can't let that happen. Arthur's arrest would not only deprive Dexter of a satisfying kill, it would also expose the secret life Dexter's been leading in his pursuit of this monster. Dexter must take drastic action to buy himself time to deal with Trinity in his own fashion. Meanwhile, Rita decides to confide in Dexter, which doesn't go as well as she'd hoped. LaGuerta and Batista's breach of ethics paints them into a very tight corner. And Arthur, who still can't understand why Dexter didn't simply turn him in, begins his own bloody investigation into Kyle Butler.

Dexter's victim: Stan Beaudry. He bludgeoned a prostitute to death. Neck sawed out with power saw.

4.11 "Hello, Dexter Morgan". Original Air Date: December 6, 2009

As the noose tightens, Arthur warns Dexter to back off. But Dexter will do anything to stop Trinity from eluding him, even if that means putting himself on the wrong side of the law. Rita acknowledges the rocky relationship she and Dexter share, but reaffirms her support. Batista and LaGuerta face the consequences of their actions. Debra unearths a deeply-hidden truth, but not one she expected to find. And ultimately, Dexter and Arthur find themselves on a collision course, leading them to a confrontation that will change their lives forever.

Dexter's victim: Arthur Mitchell / The Trinity Killer. Beaten to death with his own hammer.

Major Character Death:

Rita Morgan. Killed by the Trinity Killer.

Yvonne Strahovski: "I Don't Know What Hannah's Fate Will Be - I'm Almost Too Scared to Ask"

2013-05-22T18:33:00.000-04:00

Dexter special guest star, Yvonne Strahovski talked on Yahoo! TV about her return to the eighth and final season of Dexter. She didn't reveal much, regarding when she first appears in Season 8, or how many episodes she'll appear in:

"Unfortunately, those are things I can't share, because the big question is for Hannah, because she got away … what has she been doing all this time?" Strahovski says."Is she going to pop back into Dexter's life, and if so, how's she going to do that exactly? What will be her intentions at the time? So that's really the exciting part of that." Read the rest after the jump.

Strahovski, who says it was a happy surprise when she was asked to return for the Emmy-winning drama's final season, also says she's so excited to see how the show, and her character's storyline, will wrap up that she avoided asking the writers about the ending.

"I kind of chose not to ask what was going to happen with [Hannah]. … I personally don't know what the character's fate will be. I think I'm almost too scared to ask," she said with a laugh. "Part of me doesn't want to spoil the surprise."

Rewatching Dexter - 4.07 "Slack Tide", 4.08 "Road Kill", 4.09 "Hungry Man"

2013-05-22T13:49:00.000-04:00

Rewatching Dexter by DexterDaily. A look back at the past seasons of 'Dexter' and our favorite serial killer's victims. Today, we're going to remember the episodes: 4.07 "Slack Tide", 4.08 "Road Kill", 4.09 "Hungry Man". Hit the 'read more' button for more!

Dexter finds himself enjoying a brief moment of tranquility. He's finally managed to strike a balance between work, family... and other pursuits. But he's keenly aware that times like these aren't meant to last. When Miami Metro discovers a string of murders connected to a prominent photographer, Dexter sees an opportunity for a clean kill. However, his plans seem to be thwarted every step of the way. Quinn has taken a renewed interest in Dexter's nightlife. Dexter's plans to keep Astor and Cody distracted with new activities soon backfire. Even Harry disapproves of Dexter's choice of pastime, urging him instead to focus his efforts on the Trinity Killer. Meanwhile, Debra returns to work, frustrated to find everyone treating her with kid gloves. She decides to concentrate on her pursuit of the Trinity Killer as well as delving into her father's checkered past — investigations which Dexter fears might lead her to danger — or worse, the truth.

Dexter's victim: Jonathan Farrow. Photographer. (Not a killer). Decapitated.

4.07 "Slack Tide": Original Air Date: November 8th, 2009.

Dexter has always known his father's Code was meant to protect him from exposure. But after committing a serious mistake, he wonders if it could have been designed to protect him from something even more dangerous - human emotion. When he discovers that Trinity is planning an out-of-town trip, Dexter sees an opportunity to ride along and gain insight into the mind of a fellow monster. Even so, Dexter isn't prepared for the startling revelations Trinity makes along the way, revelations about his own past which only serve to convince Dexter of what he must do. Meanwhile, back at Miami Metro, Debra refuses to let a technicality keep her off the Trinity case. She works through others to ensure her voice is heard — that is, until she realizes that her single-minded pursuit of the Trinity Killer may have blinded her to the truth.

Dexter's victim: None.

For most people, Thanksgiving is a time for traditions and family. But for Dexter, it's an opportunity to get closer to his most dangerous adversary yet. As Dexter gains insight into Arthur's psychology by studying those closest to him, he finds himself drawn into a bizarre and twisted world. Meanwhile, Rita has her hands full preparing dinner for a packed house, including a few unexpected guests.

Rewatching Dexter by DexterDaily. A look back at the past seasons of 'Dexter' and our favorite serial killer's victims. Today, we're going to remember the episodes: 4.04 "Dex Takes a Holiday", 4.05 "Dirty Harry", 4.06 "If I Had a Hammer". Hit the 'read more' button for more!

Rita takes the kids out of town for the weekend, leaving Dexter time for some much needed R&R. And for him, that means stalking a new victim. He sets his sights on a woman accused of murdering her family — a fellow cop, no less. The more Dexter learns about this woman, the more he begins to question his own judgment. Can Dexter handle the pressures of family, or is he headed down a similar dark path? Meanwhile, LaGuerta and Batista argue over department protocol, which threatens their professional relationship. And Debra aids Lundy in his quest to find the Trinity Killer, neither of them realizing just how close Trinity is to achieving his goals.

Dexter's victim: Zoey Kruger. Policewoman who shot and killed her husband and daughter. Stabbed in the chest.

Recent events spur Dexter into his own investigation of the Trinity killer. His motivations are now personal, and the clock is ticking. But the closer Dexter gets, the more he realizes that Trinity is unlike any monster he's previously encountered. Meanwhile, Debra blames herself for events that were out of her control, and in so doing pushes away those closest to her. As LaGuerta and Batista close in on the Vacation Murderers, Batista realizes he can use Quinn's relationship with a certain reporter to his advantage. And when Rita discovers a secret Dexter's been keeping from her, she begins to realize just how little she knows about the man she married.

Dexter knows it's only a matter of time before Miami Metro discovers the Trinity Killer's latest handiwork. Therefore, he has to work doubly hard to stay one step ahead of their investigation. Dexter has begun to realize that the closer he gets to Trinity, the more he stands to learn from this very different beast. Trinity hides behind a well-kept mask, and getting behind that facade will require some extra prodding on Dexter's part. Meanwhile, Debra becomes frustrated when she finds herself shut out from her own case. She considers bending the rules in the name of justice, risking her career in the process. LaGuerta and Batista come to regret a major decision, and realize that by playing by the rules they may have painted themselves into a corner. And when the friction between Rita and Dexter comes to a head, Dexter gleans relationship advice from a most unlikely source.

Dexter Season 8 Trailer Analysis: 9 Things We Learned

2013-05-19T12:23:00.000-04:00

Check out after the jump, a short list with the nine things we learned from the official trailer for the eighth and final season of Dexter. Beware of spoilers!

1. A bench is dedicated to the memory of LaGuerta.

2. Deb's dealing with killing LaGuerta by taking drugs. She is in a relationship with the guy played by Rhys Coiro.

3. We see Dexter, Quinn and Lt. Batista on a crime scene for Season 8's new case 'Brain Surgeon Murders'. The newest killer on the loose in Miami likes to remove the back of victim's cranium.

4. Tom Matthews brings in a neuropsychiatrist Evelyn Vogel. She's a writer of a series of books about the brains of psychopaths. Dexter looks kind of upset during her speech at Miami Metro.

5. Dr. Vogel asks Dexter what the Bay Harbor Butcher was like. What will be Dexter's answer?!

6. Dexter calls out for Harrison. Will someone snatch him?

7. An angry Dexter confronts Dr. Vogel. She asks her what she wants from him.

8. New kill room, new victim. We see Dexter ready to kill a man wrapped in plastic.

9. At the end of the trailer we see Deb walks into Miami Metro looking drunk and high and tells Quinn that she wants to make an official statement. Is she going to admit that she's the one who killed LaGuerta, in order to protect her brother?!

Plus: Who's that injured woman? At first sight she looks like Lumen, but she's not.

In the official trailer we don't see Jamie, Hannah and Sean Patrick Flanery's character, Jacob Elroy.

Rewatching Dexter by DexterDaily. A look back at the past seasons of 'Dexter' and our favorite serial killer's victims. Today, we're going to remember the first three episodes of the fourth season: 4.01 "Living the Dream", 4.02 "Remains to Be Seen", 4.03 "Blinded by the Light". Hit the 'read more' button for more!

Dexter has always managed to get himself out of tough situations. But he suddenly finds himself in unfamiliar territory — life in suburbia. Now a husband and father of three, Dexter struggles to balance his family's needs with his ongoing duties as a blood spatter analyst for Miami Metro Homicide. The exhaustion is taking its toll, and as sleepless nights start to threaten his job performance, Dexter wonders if maybe he's taken on more than he can handle. And he'll need to stay sharp — the department is busier than ever, with two new murders on their hands. The detectives, Debra included, are surprised when Special Agent Frank Lundy returns to share his theories on the case. Lundy believes they're dealing with a serial killer he's been chasing for years, whom he's dubbed "the Trinity Killer". Meanwhile, Dexter's Dark Passenger drives him to seek out a fresh victim. But with so much already on his plate, is Dexter up to the task?

Dexter's victim: Benny Gomez. Former boxer who beat people to death. Stabbed in the chest.

The pressures of fatherhood threaten to bring Dexter's world crashing down. In his carelessness, Dexter realizes that he's misplaced crucial evidence, something that could expose his dark side to the world. But his search will have to wait, as Miami Metro's two simultaneous murder cases continue to escalate. Their top priority is to solve 'The Vacation Murders', a series of robberies gone bad that threaten Miami's lucrative tourist industry. Lundy, however, remains convinced that the bigger problem is dealing with the Trinity Killer, who unbeknownst to them is already stalking his next victim. Dexter has to weave a web of lies to extract himself from his duties, hoping to bury his secret before someone else finds it first.

It's hard enough for Dexter to fake one-on-one relationships. Now he finds himself at the center of a bustling suburban community. When a local vandal begins stirring up trouble, the neighborhood becomes vigilant and wary, two things Dexter certainly doesn't need. His mobility is also hampered by Rita, who insists on driving him around after his incident. Dexter's not the only one feeling trapped — Debra is less than thrilled when Anton announces he's taken a local job to spend more time with her. Meanwhile, the Trinity Killer dispatches his next victim. Debra becomes drawn to Lundy's theories about Trinity, while Dexter finds himself in awe of Trinity's masterful killing technique. Despite their enthusiasm, LaGuerta threatens to shut down the investigation, instead focused on bringing the Vacation Murderers to justice.

Ray Stevenson Talks Dexter, Isaak and More: "I Was Very Happy Not to End Up on Dexter's Table"

2013-05-17T11:55:00.000-04:00

Dexter alum Ray Stevenson gave a new interview exclusively on collider.com. He talked about Dexter, how he got involved will the show, Thor, his new film 'Divergent' and more:

Collider: How did you come to be a part of Dexter?
Ray: Scott Buck, who’s the showrunner, had worked with Bruno Heller on the series Rome, that I did, and the call came out of the blue. I knew that it was a very privileged thing to get offered this nine episode lead baddie, as such. When he started telling me about it, and said he was this Ukrainian mob boss whose business associate friend gets killed and that he’s worst than any other hit man, I was like, “Yeah, okay.” But then, when he told me the reveal, I went, “Oh, god, Scott, I’m in!”

When you’ve got gangsters who are homosexual, it always has to be something deviant to them. This guy was a stone cold killer, but there always has to be some perverse deviance about a gay gangster guy. This guy didn’t have that. His heart was ripped out. His heart had been broken and that’s why he went after Dexter. So I said, “Okay, Scott, now you’ve got my attention. Yes, I want to do it!”

I was delighted at the chance. It was courageous of them to go for it, and I was very happy not to end up on Dexter’s table. At one point, I said, “What if I got Dexter on his table and put the knife across his lips, and then go, ‘You’re too pretty to kill’?” And then, you could just see me leave on my G4 and not know where he’s going. But, it was a beautiful ending. Working with Michael [C. Hall] was just brilliant. He’s the real deal. Everybody is. It’s an amazing crew and cast. Read more after the jump.

Was the unexpectedness of the character what ultimately appealed to you most?
STEVENSON: It was really lovely, the way they went for it and allowed Dexter’s character to find somebody, in the weirdest place, that he could actually talk to about the detachment of being a cold serial murderer, but who is really scared about being emotionless in other aspects of his life. They took some bold choices, which is a testament to the series itself.

Had you been aware of how important the villains are to each season of Dexter?
STEVENSON: I don’t get a chance to follow TV. I try to catch whatever series is out there, every now and then. So, they opened me up to this, and then I realized how important it was to have this nine episodic piece. The character played such a pivotal role in that season. He wasn’t just in for one episode, or two or three episodes, as a villain-of-the-week sort of thing. That’s when it dawned on me. It was a tremendous opportunity. I just loved it, and I loved working on it.

What’s it like to work on a show that’s so secretive that they really do tell you as little as possible?
STEVENSON: Literally, from one episode to the next, I had no idea what was coming up. We wouldn’t until they would deliver the scripts for the table read. I had no idea. I think they allow themselves that leeway to start seeing the character and seeing their place on screen. It’s great confidence that they have in their process and the people involved. They allow that to grow and develop with a writing team, as it’s running, and don’t have that all completely locked in. There are unexpected relationships that happen on screen and, rather than just being left alone, they can allow it to grow itself. They probably have some overall arc. I haven’t asked them, but initially I probably would have ended up on Dexter’s table. I have no idea. I can’t second guess them. It was just wonderful. It was a great job. It’s Season 7, so I did have a little feeling going into it of, “Are they all going to be a bit overtired and jaded?” But, the opposite was true. This cast and crew, and the production team, have engendered a feeling of a collective ownership.

Everybody on that show makes Dexter happen, with such pride and responsibility. They’re such a real family. Scott has been there for eight years, and they were still thrilled to see where it was going. That was what broad-sided me. I thought, “Wow, this could have been Season 1.” To be a part of something that’s so established and so well loved, worldwide, and getting to work with this caliber of people, it’s one of those rare things that come along. It’s only in hindsight that you go, “Did that really just happen? That was so good.” You really get the feeling that everyone involved loves what they do and has a voice. Everyone can have a say and chip in, and they’re genuinely very happy at work. That’s rare.

Because the cat-and-mouse game with Dexter was so personal, do you think that’s what made your character such an unpredictable and formidable opponent for him?
STEVENSON: I think so. Dexter wasn’t just taking out the bad guys. He actually hurt somebody. He took somebody’s love. It could have been a wife, or anything. Victor was probably as much of a partner as any married couple. There was a real genuine, deep love that they had to shield from their world, as much as anything else. And then, Dexter had to deal with this stone cold killer who he knew was a formidable enemy that was more than capable of taking him out, but he had ripped this guy’s heart out. He’s not there out of vengeance. He’s there because his heart had been broken and he zeroed in on this. That gives a definite impetus. This was personal. And Isaak wouldn’t stop. There was no way that he was going to stop until this is resolved, in some way. Their partnering up was the strangest thing, but it gave access to Dexter to understand that he hurt this man. He’s as much of a stone cold killer as Isaak.
