(Book spoiler alert) Dexter will discover Astor and Cody may have a Dark Passenger. I'm guessing as this happens is the third book, Dexter in the dark. 3  out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?

I haven't read the books. Good to know. I guess their dark passenger comes from their real Dad?

The genetic structure is the recipient and thus molds the person, not the energy.
We all have our dark side but how we pour it out it depends on the nature of our vessel. Rita is good and kind and all-suffering, the kid's dad was a low-life. The kids needed the exposure to help them deal with their reality.

Dex is ideally suited to help them decrease the polarization and make it easier for them to channel and use what is within.

well said! I agree we all have our demons. I use my strong in charge side when riding difficult horses or shooting coyotes, the rest of me is mush. I don't really understand where rita's kids would have a seriously dangeropus dark side to deal with. Even their Dad was a soft core low life. But, as far as setting a teenager on the right road, Dex could help trouble shoot hormonal agressions especially seen in boys.

what does any of this have to do with season 4?

my dad was abusive to me as a kid and i have darker tendencies. seeing the kind of home violence that astor and cody did, when the dad abused the mother, is what changed them. the book indicates that the kids witnessed the violence, and as for the tv show we can only assume as the book does not describe the father at all really.
Do you find this valuable?

Honestly, the Astor - Cody serial killer option would be tragic. Good grief. Serial killer children. That's just repugnant. Count me out if this is the way it turns. I read the first Dexter book. My impression was that the author was writing gratuitously for sickos. Violent, serial killer pornography. There was no redeeming quality, conclusion, anything. I will not read another Dexter book. The only reason the TV show works is because Dexter has a code. This code appeals to the vigilante in all of us. Dexter works because he interjects justice when the legal system fails. But if he were just killing to kill, then the show might as well be about Richard Ramirez. 6  out of 9 found this valuable. Do you?

The key IS that the show is about Dex killing to satisfy his urge (the dark passenger being a residue that taints his actions and colors his vision. He once explained that his "victims" were not missed by anyone so they were ideal.....not meritorious.
The DNA is the landing strip for the incoming plane. The kids picked their low-life father to match up with their inherent latent tendencies. Dex would have a field day spotting and dealing with their proclivities. This show has depth....so there has to be room to maneuver..

I agree that it may not be taken well by most people, but I think they could pull it off. Dexter didn't kill anyone till he was much older and neither would the kids. He would just be teaching the children the importance of acting normal so they don't stick out. In the book it happened much earlier, Rita didn't take the neighbor's dog to her friend, it just disappeared. 0  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

They say those kids beaten become beaters. Sins of the father going three generations. I say, it depends on the education of the generations. If the kid is better educated than the fater, he should be able to resist urges. Astor and cody should only need to be shown kindness and turning of cheek on their path to adulthood. Dexter could help with that. It may not be a bloodshed relationship between them, just a parenting one.

I think the original premise fo the show should be adhered to. Dexter appears normal but jkills in his spare time while trying to learn more about acting and looking well adjusted. That IS the show! Right?

It is the archetypal struggle between good and evil, the darkness and the light. The struggle is to realize that there can be no separation, only integrity. Integrating means to combine and consider as one. As and when Dex realizes that his dark passenger is a real and necessary part of his being, he will then be able to make use of him without suffering adverse consequences.
A classic dilemma.

It is only ever as good as the statement that you made to engender my response.
Dex is a dichotomy and he is desperate to join his two halves in the classic Jeckle and Hyde meme. This is where Rita may play here greatest role and be of service to Dex through the intimacy that they have together. We are only as good as the people that we share with so kudos to you!

You are my mirror.

I predict a lighter side to Dexters' persona since his recent marriage to "sister Deb aka Jennifer" has been publicized. So, I predict a fun season of laughing, loving, and, killing for the "Dex Master", and of course hsi loved ones. 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

If the show runs short of material they can access info about Charlie Bartlett, I think that was his name, whom was a Florida serial killer. He liked to decapitate and some victims had their hearts removed. I think he worked down in the Florida Keyes before getting caught. He liked to boat and fish and was a friendly family type man, just like our Dexter. He went on for years without anyone having a clue as to hsi identity. Scary, huh? Do you find this valuable?

"Remembering the finally of season 3, how will season four begin? How will it proceed? How will it all end? What do expect will happen in season 4?"
Season 4: What we know-Dex is married, family man with 2 children who adore him-Rita is finally glad that she got Dex to marry her (what a bummer!). The confines of married life will get to Dex. Because he will definitely have to alter his lifestyle. The bottomline-Dex is a serial killer who has killer urges, so he goes by a code and picks his victims carefully, being in forensics really helps cover the tracks. But in my opinion, the LaGuerta (Sp?) will not forget about Doakes' being branded the Bay Harbor Butcher - new evidence might show up. Also the killing of her lawyer friend might get her to wondering how come Dex knew so much.

There are so many avenues to approach in Season 4 - but to me - it has to be Dex's adjustment to married life, et al. Somehow, Rita will start wondering about his night excursions. She is extremely nosy and demanding. It's one avenue for the show to take-maybe it's too obvious of a path.

The hardest thing for Dex that I forsee is that Rita is a strong willed girl and although she gives Dex a long leash, she won't be put off for answers if she developes questions. There will marital conflict due to that issue no doubt. Althlugh, the distraction of the new baby will quiet Ritas' inquisitive side a bit, at least, for a time.
