I just watched the Last Show....State of shock they killed Rita,Yeah i thot she was a to goodie goodie alot but killer her?
I have to watch again to get my head around it...I love this show..like no other in my whole life...The writing most the time is fab. Micheal C. Hall is fantastic as Dexter, they get an Emmy for that pick for sure...Now I will wonder for 9 months "Dexter now Father of 3 alone???I bet the two older go to the Grandparents and Dexter some how raises the Baby with Deb's help??? It is so bizzare how a tv show and get a hold of you the way this one does...you think it's real at some level....Thank you so much keep up the good work all of you.....Portland, OR

When Rita's cell rang and the baby started crying, I knew. My heart started to race, I then saw the bathroom and was very upset that the writers could do such a thing. Now that I have cooled down after a few days I can say that there is some really good writers involved that make me love this show. I cannot wait for next season already to see what happens to Dexter, the kids, and everyone else connected to them.
Great job and thanks for the thrills!

After watching the season finale of Dexter, I could not get the last few minutes out of my head! I think it was a mistake to kill Rita off! She was demanding on Dexter, but she was a wife and mother, and that was how she was supposed to be. Dexter was starting to realize that he could possibly have a good life, and he was nothing like Trinity. I do think that at least Harrison has a chance of not ending up like Dexter because he was so much younger than Dexter was when his mother was killed in front of him. I have mixed emotions about watching the next season though, and just hope that they can deliver a good season that I hope does not end up with Dexter being caught.

I think killing off Rita is HORRIBLE! Dexter cannot be a single father! He needs Rita just as much rita needs him! He was just starting to realize he actually loved her and his kids! I think the start of season five should start by this all being a bad dream and dexter wakes up in the florida keys with rita laying next to him. She just cannot be killed off at this point. There are so many places this could go. Dexter hasn't even confronted her about her first husband. They JUST got married! She cannot just die like that!

I was so sad to see that ending. And I must say, it reminded me of the movie SEVEN. Not very original writers. I am really disappointed, I almost cried, and I'm contemplating giving up on watching any future Dexters. I LOVE Dexter's character, and I loved the arc he was experiencing. It's just really disappointing that this was all they could think up.

season 4 was great, the finale was intense, but i think the battle between trying to be a good father and husband and being a serial killer was very entertaining...i think rita added so much to the show and i was devastated to see her killed! and knowing that trinity is dead and he can't avenge her death makes me even more sad...i have no clue where the show will go from here, but i'm sad to see his wife murdered

Confused! Dexter. Serial Killer. Single Father of 3 kids. NOOOOOOO! What the hell?? I get Rita was sometimes annoying with badgering him but COME ON, Trinity killed her? What? Shocking. Yes. Heartbreaking. Yes. Julie Benz broke my heart in that scene, such a painful look in her eye, like her last moments were spend looking at poor little Harrison. But what's gonna happen next season? Dexter starts dating again. Dexter tries to avenge Rita's death... oh wait he already killed Trinity! Dexter tries to explain to Astor and Cody what happened? I'm not going to watch that sad convo. She could have found out the truth about Dexter or something creative like that but DEATH. Why do writers always think "I don't have any creative ideas, I know DEATH?!" How unoriginal half way through the episode I thought she would maybe die, but then I thought "No they won't be that stupid!" Well what do you know? They are!
Either it's creative genius and the show will be awesome next season.
Or it will

I was stunned by the season finale, and can't wait until season 5 starts. Normally shows start to go stale around the 4th season, but this was Dexter's best season yet.
I would like for there to be a season story arc, as well as smaller individual stories. This is what I have come to expect from Dexter. The season arc can just be Dexter vs. Dexter, and I would be satisfied with that.
I'm sorry to see Rita go, but it probably was inevitable. Dexter knew he would have to say good-bye one to his family one way or another, as Harry foreshadowed.
I still think there is more to Deb and Dexter, like it might turn out that Harry was actually Dexter's biological father. They touched on that briefly at one point. I wouldn't want Deb and Dexter to get together, that would just be weird.
I have enjoyed reading the books by Jeff Lindsay, but I think overall the show is much better, and brilliantly written.

My husband and I have been watching Dexter on Showtime since it debuted. The writing of the series is intelligent, witty and will keep you on the edge of your seat, leaving you wanting more, more, MORE! The character of Dexter is brilliant, as well as Michael C. Hall, who plays the character to a tee. You will not be disappointed with this purchase.

@Rob- it has already been confirmed that this was NOT all a bad dream, it was real, so sorry. And also, Dexter was never going to be normal. This season he had less kills, and as a result he was angrier, more impulsive (and not in a good way), lost his temper, and was generally on edge and tense. Obviously killing was how he let out his anger and bottled-up craziness.
I think next season should be the last. It should have Dexter slowly losing control, and Deb eventually finding out about him. I don't know where that would lead, but I think it would result in a satisfying end to the series one way or another.

NOOOOOOOOOO! I hope next season starts with Dexter waking up out of a bad dream! This is just too much! Rita was Dexter's last hope of being normal! This show hands down is the best thing on TV.

I also am a HUGE Dexter fan and was totally blown away by last night's ending. I can't it out of my head. Don't know how I can stand the wait till next season. I wonder if Deter will eventually end up with Deb - since they're not related by blood, it wouldn't be that taboo (remember Woody Allen).

I think the season was totally awesome. I wonder too what will happen to Dex, but I wonder if his son since going though what Dexter did as a baby will end up like his father. Like father like son.

I'm a HUGE fan of Dexter. Watching the last 3 minutes of the episode was shocking and it brought me to tears. I was a Rita and Dexter fan. Through the Paul story and Lila story lines, I've been rooting for them to pull thru and make it together. Not just for me, but for Dexter's character "look" to the world too. I just hope that next season, they don't make Dexter get sloppy (cause he is coping) and almost get caught.
Excellent writing. I'm most curious to see how every character will be next season. Especially Dexter and Deb.
I love this show, and hope it stays on for as long as it can!
Dexter : Don't be sorry your darkness is gone. I'll carry if for you - always. I'll keep it with mine,
