This.

The show is obsessed with father-son relationships as shown in Harry's code. Trinity's father beat and blamed him for the daughter's death (and later the mother's) which turned him into a sociopath serial killer.

Harry made Dexter what he is today. In more ways than one, I think Harry's telling child Dexter that he was a monster ed him up so bad that psychiatrists wouldn't have a hope. Harry also gave him the code. In every possible way, Dexter is who he is today because of his father.

Even Deb is who she is because of her father. Harry ignored her as a child because he was focused on containing 'the monster' and now she has a thing for old father figure men.

Jonah just fits in every possible way. Could be dad doesn't even know that jonah knows and jonah did it to protect his dad. Either way though, I'll be upset if its not him. It's like a puzzle piece, it just fits so neatly. (neatness is also a theme of the show, Dexter is a 'neat killer')

That's pretty funny, Cuz after trying to figure out what will happen, that's precisely how I feel!!

...Actually, It's a bit of fun trying to foresee what will happen next or solve the odd mystery like the Lundy shooting, But it's way more fun to just sit back, enjoy the show, and let it happen.

You know she's "Tootie" from facts of life don't you?

.....Just kidding, I know she's not. But she sure looks like her.

We make puking sounds at my house when those two are making eyes at each other. When Batista makes those sexual comments to her we almost hurl.

Yeah, especially since Batista is such an ugly man. Gross.


And I'm really digging the Trinity's son theories. They actually make a lot of sense.

And why Trinity gave his son that sweet ride. Guess he made him earn it.

I bought that... for a micro second. Blew my mind.

What if Jonah was given the car for doing Lundy for his father?

[Phanuthier]

All caught up. Don't think it was Trinity 2.0, because Lundy seemed to recognize the shooter. The reporter is the obvious guess. I'm going to take a 2nd wild stab and make a darkhorse pick of Yuki; revenge on Deb when Deb wouldn't do anything about Quinn.

Yeah, my wife just gets this look on her face of pure disgust when they start to go down that road. As soon as she started 'letting her hair down', my wife started to swear (and I started to laugh).

I'm thinking reporter chick. Quinn will find out and must "punish" her...

But, yah, I think Quinn will somehow un-earth it in combination with something from Deb's interview.

Still confused with the coffin, though.

If it turns out to be the reporter there better be a damn good explanation or I'll never watch Dexter again. Random reporters don't just kill people for a story unless they are seriously crazy.

Laugh.

Your idle threats to "never watch Dexter again" are awesome.

So you wouldn't be mad if the Lundy's killer turned out to be Rita?

I think they are equally preposterous. I don't get why people are so up in arms about my "threats".

Any show that I watch, if it got absolutely ######ed, especially after being one of the best shows on television, would really piss me off.

Maybe in season 6 of the Sopranos Tony should have turned out to be a woman in drag the whole time! Or that Paulie was actually an undercover FBI agent. Or maybe Dr Melphi could have been part of a sting operation to catch Tony. Oh wait, those didn't happen because they are ######ED! Just like how if it turns out to be the reporter Dexter will be absolutely ######ed.

If you aren't worried about stupid plot twists and random, normal people turning out to be murderers so that they have story to write about then go ahead and enjoy it if it turns out to be the reporter.

Unless the writers have an AMAZING reason for the reporter to be the killer then it is just stupid. There is no other way to say it. Like I said, it would be equally preposterous if the killer turned out to be Quinn, Anton, Rita, Dexter's dad, Deb etc etc.

The important thing is that the explanation makes SENSE. If it is Trinity's son, which I think 99% that it is, then it would make sense because it would explain why Trinity gave him the car.

well it seemed that Lundy recognized the killer...how would he recognize Trinity's son?

[Clever_Iggy]

Holy cow flip... come off the ledge. I seriously enjoyed the "I'll never watch Dexter again"... kinda like how I laugh at I_H8_Crawford's constant prediction that the Flames will lost in GDTs. You have some serious issues.

I don't think the reporter is that far out of the realm of possibility. The secondary storyline in Dexter often intersects with the main storyline (similar to Lila's story line a couple seasons ago which intersected with Doakes near the end, or Deb's love affair with the Ice Truck Killer intersecting with the main storyline in the first season, or Miguel Prado's storyline intersecting with the main storyline of the Skinner (or vice versa)).

I could see Trinity's son being the shooter - his strange childhood caused him to be a sociopath and covers it up the same way his dad and Dexter do. I could also see it being the reporter as she has shown to be dirty and that really is one of the major secondary storylines the writers are exploring.

Either way, I'm sure the writers will work it in somehow... if not, I guess they run the risk of having one less viewer.

That does seem to pose a problem. However, people seem to assume that it must be one of like 3 people.

It is quite likely that Lundy's killer was totally unrelated to the Trinity case. It could be anyone that has it out for Lundy.

I'm not totally familiar with season 1 or 3. Is there anyone from Lundy's past that would want revenge?

I don't think that Trinity's son looks enough like him that Lundy would have recognized him. Also, don't forget that Deb claims that Lundy recognized the shooter. I'm not so sure that is the case, maybe he was just shocked that it was a young kid.

If Lundy did recognize the shooter I would be willing to bet that it was Trinity and that he was there with his son to supervise the shooting. Lundy recognized Trinity, who was standing with his son and the son did the shooting.

It seems weird that the son would go out on such an endeavor alone, especially considering how much of a control freak Trinity is. He would want to be there to make sure it was done right. However, the shooter seemed fairly accurate. How did the son get so proficient at shooting?

What ledge? Dude what are you talking about?

I don't know if maybe your original post was just a joke or what but I'm totally missing your point here.

You posted something and I responded, explaining why I posted that.

Is that a problem for you?

Maybe Trinity was standing there beside him showing him how to kill? Essentially the same way Harry did to Dexter?

[Clever_Iggy]

No problem Flip... I wasn't attacking you. I thought you were being intentionally over-the-top with the "I won't watch Dexter again threats" for effect. Obviously you weren't. Simple miscommunication.

The major problem I have with the theory that it's Trinity's son (which is further complicated the argument that Trinity trained him) is that Debra survived. And Debra survived a relatively superficial wound. If it was Trinity or Trinity's son trained by Trinity, I would think there would be little left to chance (no survivors).

The reporter, on the other hand, would be an amateur killer and perhaps wanted to keep Debra alive for the interview "hero" piece she's pursuing now?

Both are likely storylines, I just think it's the latter.

Yeah, it wasn't so much that I'm reiterating the Dexter threat to be overly dramatic, it is just that I REALLY like Dexter. There are only about 4 or 5 shows that I think are amazing (Dexter, Sopranos, Rome, Six Feet Under, Mad Men etc) and I would hate to see Dexter turn out to be silly.


I guess the reason I keep repeating that I won't watch ever again is more a testament to the fact that I think it is that unlikely that the reporter will turn out to be the killer (with no motive), than it is me threatening the show. To me the idea is so preposterous that making equally ridiculous claims seems justified because it just isn't going to happen.

Sorry about the confusion.
