::::Spoiler::::
If you attest to fill out the timeframe of the ritual sociopathic killings of: Mike Donovan, 11:24pm, October 1, 2006; and James Jaworski, 10:21pm, October 4, 2006. timeframes can be found here: 'http://www.sho.com/site/dexter/special_features.do' under: 'investigate now.' If you take into account Jaya's death on a friday, these events unravel since: October 1, 2006 is a Sunday - October 4 is a Wednesday. I gather the killing, which marks on the 3rd of October, has to be in 2003 or 2008 to make it a Friday. It is said, i didn't chance to write the episode down, that Dex was locked in the shipping container in 1973, he was 3 years of age. 2003 would make it concrete, under Harry's death that, 10 years after the fact, it is noted in the Season 1 episode 1-ish. The last convergence is set to Dexters age, which is 35 or 38 at the start of the series. ::::End Spoiler::::

Interesting that when Dexter kills, he uses a blitz attack and a incapacitating sedative on his victims. As a skilled martial artist, both the blitz attack and sedative are not necessary for him to kill. Only when his victim is bound, drugged, and therefore helpless will he kill. His complete control over his victim and the victim's complete powerlessness are part of his ritual. Despite his outward display of confidence, he needs his victims to be as helpless as he felt when his mother was murdered in order for him to kill. The mask that he is forced to wear in an attempt to feel normal makes him feel powerless and so long as Dexter feels powerless, he will continue to kill others in an attempt to regain his feeling of control over the world.

OK, maybe someone has already covered this, but does Dexter wear the same outfit when he kills? He always seems to have the same tight sand colored shirt and chinos on.
Also, what did he have on over that, but under the apron when he killed Jimenez?

dexter éprouve des choses quand il réalise que Harry lui a peut-être menti au sujet du code. Il éprouve également de la colère lorsqu'il subit le chantage de sa marraine. Ce sont des moments intimes dont il parle et le fait d'éprouver ces émotions contradictoires vis-à vis de harry ou de son frère biologique lui permet de passer outre et finalement de s'affranchir de cette relation infantile qu'il entretenait avec le code... Good luck to translate this but it was to hard for me to explain that in a good american language... Dexter Moser

There is something wrong with the picture in this block. The "Blood Splatter Pattern" is all wrong. When I first looked at it, my eyes played tricks on me... It looked like a bloody grasshopper... What would Dexter say about the blood splatter?

"Rituals" is an inappropriate and incorrect term. His use of black plastic bags to dispose of his victims, and covering the murder scene with tarp would be considered "method of operation." His collecting their blood for his collection would be considered a "signature."
The differences being, of course, the "MO" being what he does in order to commit the crime and attempt to evade capture, while the "signature" being what he does to get fulfillment out of the crime. Other than being very basic, this is a good site. There's much more ... depth ... to the average psychopath than this site enumerates. :)

When I watched the first episode of Dexter, I said to myself, that is me to a "T" without the killing. I can relate to Dexter down to the most minute detail. He suffered trauma as an infant and so did I. I can see how Dexter manages to live in a world that is totally foreign to him. You become an actor, probably one of the best there is. You learn to watch people and then act like they do, if they are showing sorrow, you do the same, if they laugh, you laugh, you guage everything you do by what others are doing so you fit in. You also learn to charm people and can size people up very quickly to understand how to get to them and get them to like you. Dexter got a girlfriend to fit in...I got married even though I could care less about doing so and had no feelings for my future wife. You have to go to extremes to be able to feel and actually the only thing that you can really feel is pain or pushing things to the edge that most people would be scared to death, it just makes you feel alive...
I love this show, it is nice to hear, even from a fictional character, what I am experiencing. I wonder if the writers are also Sociopaths, if not they have done some awesome research.... I hope the show continues....

I would pose that Dexter Morgan as a young child endured a depth of psychological trauma that has sent many a hardened soldiers and law enforcement officer permanently into mental institutions or driven them to suicide in an effort to end their emotional impact. What the brain of Dexter the child did was to wisely block it's ability to receive or interpret emotional signals there by protecting the rest of Dexters faculties and allowing him to function. However, emotion is a basic and essential component for humans beings and Dexter felt a growing and unrelenting urge to fill that need in his life. Dexter as a young developing man, once again found a way to cope with his damaged psyche. Dexter's brain was blocking most of Dexter's emotional stimuli yet he found that if he went to the extremes; torturing and killing, he could finally get a small exquisite moment of "feeling". Unfeeling beings are literally inanimate objects, not "beings" at all. When he is not reaching those extremes it is that sense of being "inanimate" that fills Dexter. I believe that self-awareness with continued small but meaningful emotional connections with people will help bring Dexter to a place where he can fill his emotional needs without going to extremes. However, it's very deep seeded ( I do find fault with his father for not getting young Dexter psychological help early on though I understand his fear of doing so) and while I do long for Dexter to find happiness, I also want the books and TV Series to continue for many years to come!

Its simple, think, when you get home from work and put on the news what do you see? Murder, rape, kidnapping, suicide bombers, arson, armed robbery, death, violence, destruction. It makes you sad, scared, and depressed, but most of all angry. Now i want you to imagine yourself Numb in your soul. No sadness no depresion only that urge to make things right. Dextor Morgan is you, only Jiminey Cricket for got about him. So he stayed numb had to figure out how to become a real boy on his own, No fairy godmother, only Harry, and his numb soul. When he takes another life, he is alive, he's not killing just to kill, he's killing to live. Now he's not a puppet to his urges any more but he's not exactly a real boy either. But no matter which way you spin it, he's human, but not quite humane.

For callous/lack of empathy: he is a vigilante, and one who kills people to satisfy an internal impulse to kill as well as a code that acts as a conscience for him, but is not an internal sense of right and wrong. Even though he saves innocent people by killing the bad ones, and that makes him a hero on one level, on another level his reason for killing isn't primarily to save the innocent, but seems to be motivated by his urges to kill, Harry's code and a certain amount of self-loathing. Also, though many of us here might secretly or openly approve of his actions, few people could actually do what he does, and even fewer would do it with his motives. My opinion might be influenced by the books, however, because there's more of an emphasis on how severe his defecit of empathy is in the books than there is in the series.

Overall analysis not bad but I diagree on a couple of points. First, Dexter did not KILL the kid's father, he put him behind bars, and he did that to protect Rita and the kids - I see this as a positive example of empathy - not negative. Second, I have never seen him sexually aroused by thougts/scenes of killing, but we have seen him in later episodes respond sexually to Rita - even initiating sex with her. Also, in my subjective opinion he does not have a grandiose sense of self worth. He is right to think that some people (maybe me) might secretly think he's a hero if they were to know. But he is very lonely, as he knows that society would condemn him and his friends would likely not accept the "real" Dexter.
