What a great season. I watched the first two by renting the DVD and watching back-to-back-to-back episodes. I thought I would die having to wait a week between episodes, but it thoroughly enhanced the show for me.
This might be nit-picking and maybe I over-estimate the abilities of forensics because of CSI, but the skinner would remove patches of skin to torture his victims. I assume that Dexter strangled Miguel and then removed patches of skin in order to frame the skinner as the killer. Can't forensic pathologists tell whether a wound was pre or post-mortem? I assume there would be an autopsy to ensure Miguel's killing was correctly linked to the skinner rather than a copycat (due to Miguel's public stature).
I saw nothing in the second last episode to indicate that Dexter did the skinning while Miguel was unconscious (and that would be opposite of Dexter's MO - to torture rather than just kill).
Anyways, I love where this show is going... the creators definitely opened up some interesting avenues to pursue next season with Debra digging into Dexter's past a little. I wonder who will be set up to become Dexter's nemesis in season 4?
