see...that's what i thought, too. not sure if it was chemo,
though, as harry had a heart condition, didn't he, and not
cancer? but i thought it was entirely possible it was med-related,
and dex just jumped to conclusions. so, i just keep that doubt
alive in the back of my mind. who knows, though?
> Where's he been this season, anyways?
good question.

Ah, yes. I forgot about Harry catching Dex and then yacking. I guess I assumed Harry was yacking from the chemo he was going through. I had also thought something was fishy with the captain and that technicality bit. Where's he been this season, anyways?
Thanks for clearing some of that up, Barb!

I guess Dexter is following his own code now, even though it's not clear what that is, exactly. The very first person he killed in the pilot episode was, in fact, a murderer, and his victims were young boys, but I don't think he was a priest, since he had a wife. Yes, the Cap told Dex that Harry killed himself. The wigging out was when Cap told Harry that one of their murder suspects got off on a technicality. Subsequently, Dex, thinking he was doing the right thing, went out and eliminated said suspect. Harry walked in on the kill scene, and lost his lunch. Dex concluded that Harry offed himself after witnessing, first hand, the monster in Dex that he, himself, nurtured. We don't know that this is really the reason, it's just what Dex surmised. That was the big reveal at the end of last season... that Harry was so repulsed by what he saw in Dexter, that he couldn't live with himself. Hence, off with the code. I feel there's more to it than that. Not that there is any evidence to the contrary, but I'm staying open to the possibility that Dexter read that all wrong. Isn't it possible that Harry was just becoming more seriously ill, and decided to end his life on his own terms? It would be quite the twist to eventually discover that Harry really was able to accept Dexter for what he was, and his suicide had nothing to do with it. If it really was suicide, that is.

Heh! Loved the bit with the milk. And what's this about "going against his code"? The very first person he killed in the very first show was a child molester, wasn't it? A priest, maybe?
What was it towards the end of last season that was going on with the Captain? Some old case Dex remembered the Cap'n coming over to the house and Harry wigging out. Didn't the Cap'n tell Dex that Harry killed himself? It's been so long I can't remember the specifics but I want it brought up again!

yes, freebo's blood. it wasn't dexter's knife. but it was the same
knife that dexter used to kill oscar. the knife belonged to prado's (jimmy
smits) father, who gave it to oscar... prado's brother,
the one who dexter stabbed in the first episode.
to prado, this helped cinch the fact that freebo killed oscar,
even though, in fact, it was dexter. see? clear as mud.

I don't know, Barbaloo. Since I missed the last few secs I dunno whose blood it even is! Is it safe to assume Freebo's? I didn't know Jimmy Smits had Dex's knife, either. (Can't member his name on the show, so he'll be referred to Jimmy Smits until a few more epis.) I need to see the rerun, apparently. Gah!

it was a little anvilicious. but could end up being nothing. for one thing, there won't be a body. everyone will believe freebo is still alive. prado's got the murder weapon with dex's fingerprints on it. but he can't turn dex in, without exposing himself, too. and he's really glad freebo's dead, and probably really glad he didn't have to do it himself. so, i guess they'll keep it covered up, until, you know, something happens to reveal that it did happen. maybe a body part drifts back to shore, or shows up inside the belly of a shark, or the blood stain on the shirt ends up in the wrong hands. but obviously, they're going to be BFFs for a while.
could get interesting.
how do you see it playing out?

looking at the body at the end. quick thinking, there, dex!
you still got it, old boy.

Good epi, all together. The last few minutes did have me on the edge of my seat. Question...at the end of the last scene, the camera panned to what looked like something behind Jimmy Smits' back...what was it? I missed it.

ahhhh! okay. then the writers just came up with it on their own.
they must have felt that having all those other challenges in his life
just weren't quite enough.

so, through osmosis, or just through proximity to a real live serial
killer, astor and cody develop tendencies of their own? you have
got to be kidding me. well, i hope it reads better than how it's playing
in my head, cause that doesn't sound so good. no wonder they aren't following that plot from the book. i wonder how that would have played out on television? well, let's see what happens with the baby storyline. maybe it won't be so bad, and maybe (hopefully) it will bring some complex challenges, and (really hopefully) a lot of humor to this season. any season without lila is a good season. i don't miss doakes. well, sort of. but not really. i would have liked him a whole lot more if another actor played him. i just could not get past EK's sourpuss, pursed lipped, cartoonish portrayal. kinda ruined it for me. although i did like him much, much more toward the end, when he starting acting a bit more, oh, i don't know... human.
