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?

We have recently had a real-life Dexter wannabe in our neighborhood. His name is Mark Twitchell and his vanity plate says DRK JEDI - a reference to the Dark Passenger maybe?
He even has an IMDB enrty: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2671533/

Allegedly, he lured a man into his garage and killed him but the body was never found (is he just "good" or did the kill even happen?).
There was forensic evidence of some kind (cops are not disclosing too many details), enoigh to get him arrested but, so far, sketchy press details.

The cops are still looking for Twitchell's car: http://www.edmontonsun.com/News/Edmonton/2008/11/13/7403001.html

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

"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. :)

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.

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.
