"... both Angel and Masuka get steady girlfriends!"

"I think we will see a journalist who comes looking for the Bay Harbor Butcher's story to make a book/movie..."

"If its mainly from the records lady, Doris..."

"That was me--thanks for actually paying attention to my posts! I agree taht Camilla has a LOT more of a part to play next season. Fine, we can have a female journalist, but she'd better not be a barracuda...but only if Lundy can come back out to play!"

"I, being a male, think the journalist should be a female. You've had your Lundy. What we got was Lila - God - we deserve better."

"The sky's the limit, as long as Lundy comes back...!"

"I think we will see a journalist who comes looking for the Bay Harbor Butcher's story to make a book/movie and finds out that Dexter caught the Butcher's interest and that before Debra did the Ice Truck Killer's. So this journalist decides to forget about Butcher and focus on the:

The Morgan's... Their mother lost due to cancer and their father due to Heart disease now the siblings have naught but each other to hold onto. Both enter the law enforcement profession to honor their father, one as a forensics expert the other a beat cop, two sides of the same coin of justice. All the while, they are assailed at every turn by Serial Killers wanting to bring them down and tear them apart.

Makes for a better pitch doesn't it?

Of course, this journalist has to dig into the past of the entire Morgan family. This endangers not only Dexter and his past but there are certain things that he would like to shield Debra from Harry's past like the affair or his suicide.

Tension with a different plotline and maybe we could find out more about Harry or Debra's mother. Like, did she know about the affair? Was she perhaps suspicious about Dexter's true parentage? It would make her a lot more interesting then the big nothing we have now."
