Re: What you can deduce from these spoilers on the Dexter Season 4 fin
I'm hoping that season 5's "bad guy" is Deb, she starts to see how odd things are with Dexter. Why did Trinity pick Rita? Trinity's family will see "Ryan" aka Dexter sometime, questions will be asked, people will be searching Dexter's house. I'm hoping that Deb finds out in the season 5 finale leading to a kick ass finale season.
I didn't even think of this....

People didn't pay attention.
She comments that the moon is going to be beautiful that night, not that it was in the present tense. She just knew that it was going to be full that night. It's still contrived for the emotional moment, but there is not a time paradox.
So how do you guys see season 5 starting?
is Dex going to dump rita in the stream....call the police/Deb....what?

Poor Dexter.
I did think the ending was a tad predictable but it does set up some interesting stuff for the next season.
I can see two ways Dexter can respond to this- he can either go off the deep end, or he can try to reign in the dark passenger in the spirit of what Rita might have wanted.
If the show follows it's past formula, this will be more or less glossed over in favor of new events. Assuming that Trinity left behind DNA or fingerprints it should be pretty easy to eliminate Dexter as a suspect. I imagine Deb will be suspicious of whatever story Dexter comes up with however.

Re: What you can deduce from these spoilers on the Dexter Season 4 fin
I thought the ending was clever enough. I don't read spoilers, so I didn't know that something supposedly shocking was on the way. I didn't realize what was going on until I heard the message about going back to the house. Then it all clicked as far as how Dexter managed to win the race to the Mustang. I thought it was all pretty effective.
Random side note... does anyone else here use "I have a dark passenger" as code for "I have to go number 2?"

Re: What you can deduce from these spoilers on the Dexter Season 4 fin
There was talk in the writers room abut letting one major character find out about Dexter's secret and live
but they decided against this...
and its best left for a final season too
Also as Ausselio pointed out, the viewers are wrong about any bad writing for Trinity killing Rita
Loved it

I'm shocked they actually killed Rita, but having Harrison sitting there in the blood was a nice touch.

Re: What you can deduce from these spoilers on the Dexter Season 4 fin
I was worried that the season would end without a dramatic shocker or curveball. It seemed as if everything was going to get tied up with a nice little bow on it - Trinity dies, Dexter wins. The end. Dull. Boring. The writers needed to shake things up. They needed to do something really big like this. And although Rita's demise had been rumored for a few weeks, the scene was very well done. I think it's going to serve as a really good springboard for season 5.

Re: What you can deduce from these spoilers on the Dexter Season 4 fin
Someone by the end of next season, which I do not believe will be the last, will find out about Dexter. This whole season and Rita's death just makes that clear. Dexter made too many mistakes and Deb isn't stupid, and I think it will come out by the end of season 5 and lead to the best finale season, season 6, ever!

Heheh. I guess that is a bit of leap. Did you see that look she gave him when she found him in Trinity's garage though? It was her "don't quite trust you" look.
I don't think she entirely bought the flak jacket excuse either.
IDK, just seems like a place the writers might take it next season.

Re: What you can deduce from these spoilers on the Dexter Season 4 fin
Nah, I think she was just in shock by everything she had learned and was simply surprised to run into Dexter so soon (and thus have to tell him what she learned). Like she said, he's the constant in her life. She wouldn't have had a heartfelt like that if she was suspicious of his motives.Heheh. I guess that is a bit of leap.

Re: What you can deduce from these spoilers on the Dexter Season 4 fin
Not sure if Deb suspects anything of Dexter yet, but Quinn seems to be setting into the Doakes role this season (not very successfully, thus far) so he'll definately be onto him. Especially after the confrontation with him in the finale. I mean, here, Dexter has a possibly motive (the almost affair, which Masuka is aware of), and he doesn't have an alibi as to where he was when she was murdered since he was off making Trinity fish food. Since he's part of the department, he also knows how Trinity's kills look like, so he could have faked it. Not that there's nearly enough to turn Deb against him, necessarily, but that doesn't mean others won't decide to look at his affairs more closely.
Of course, this is all moot if Trinity wasn't careful and he left evidence behind. But even then, there's the little matter of finding out why he killed someone who isn't part of his normal pattern (ie, not a mother of two).

Chicky Hines.
Really, I was pretty shocked that they actually went there. I liked Rita in the first 3 seasons, but at the beginning of this one I was starting to find her very annoying. The last couple of episodes had me warming back up to her and then BLAMMO!
I'm interested to see if next season can possibly top this one.
This show. This fucking show.

Re: What you can deduce from these spoilers on the Dexter Season 4 fin
Any season 6 would depend on Michael C Hall since Showtime would have to renegotiate his contract. I personally want the show to end after 5 because the quality can't last forever and its been so so good so far its almost unreal. I would want a huge 2 part finale with Deb finding out his secret in Episode 11 and 12 being some sort of endgame...
The question is how can they really wrap up Dexter ?

Dexter strapped to a table. A lethal injection table.

Exactly.
There are so many ways to end the show, you will piss someone off but oh well.
Also the show really doesn't feel like it's getting close to an end. I'm sure they can get everyone back for a 6th season if they really wanted. Michael C. Halldoesn't seem to be an ass like Jonathan Rhys is.

Re: What you can deduce from these spoilers on the Dexter Season 4 fin
Harrison sitting in all that blood was clearly supposed to mirror Dexters own trauma, and it looked too staged to be a coincidence.
But how did Trinity know about that?
As for Ritas death...
Saw it coming a mile away. Rita accepts Dexter, knowing that he has a dark side (though she didn't know the full extend of it), they are happy and make out.
On TV that usually is the point where things get really horrible.
Which is the one thing that doesn't quite click with me.
