In that sense, I agree. I did enjoy the few episodes where Dexter was trying to pursue that big Mexican gangster and just couldn't seem to get a kill. He went x number of days without being able to "feed the urge" and it was wearing on him. Perhaps the writers felt they had sufficiently explored that storyline?
I see Dexter and paralleling The Sopranos. The first couple seasons were awesome because every kill/action sequence/storyline was fresh and exciting. But then, starting in season 3-4, the writers/producers felt that they needed to get away from that and focus more on the inner turmoil that the main character (Dexter and Tony) has. This means less of what made the first two seasons great and more deep exploration of issues and slower moving story-lines.
One thing Dexter, the series, hasn't done yet is a major cliff-hanger. I'm not a fan, but I'm almost expecting it this year.
