Well, for this post I have decided to stick with my topic and write about the show Dexter. Season 4 was my favorite by far. In the whole season the Miami Metro police department were working on mysterious deaths that seem to lead to an old unsolved cold cases of brutal murders that happened about 30 years before. The trinity killer in my opinion was the best “evil” serial killer on that show. Played by Arthur Mitchell, Trinity’s character had to have a creepy, haunting , and scary vibe. Arthur Mitchell definitely captured that feeling from me. Not enough to keep me a wake up at night, but scary enough to make me want to lock my doors and keep a knife with me at all times when I'm home alone at night. His persona is evil but in the best way ever for Trinity’s character. Michael C. Hall of course is the best “good” serial Killer that is lovable, charming, and personal. Besides Michael’s “killer” looks, he makes killing fun and suspenseful. You always wonder what he is going to do next and when you hear his thoughts and what he says you can understand how he feels toward something or someone. For instance in season 4 Dexter had found out who Trinity was and that he had a double life. Dexter states in episode 5 Dirty Harry: “Trinity is a husband... a father. He's... like me.” in that episode Dexter’s sister Deb had been shot as well as another cop in the previous episode. His name was Lundy and he had been working on the Trinity case for years. Deb is recovering over Lundy’s death and thinks that Trinity had shot her and Lundy. So Dexter must find out how to kill Trinity and blame a different person as the Trinity killer. So he finds out were Trinity lives and tells him that his name is Kyle Butler. Dexter doesn’t want Trinity to find out who he is so that his family is safe and that he doesn’t get caught being with Trinity. He and Trinity hit it off, Dexter wants to make sure that this guy is really and truly the Trinity Killer so he tells him that he kills people. that’s when Dexter and Trinity start to spend quality time together and ruins Dexter’s life forever. I hated the fact that Dexter waited to long to kill Trinity, Dexter started to look up to trinity because he was the only person besides Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac killer to get away with all these murders and still have a normal family life. I think that it was hard for Dexter to kill trinity because Trinity understood what Dexter was going through. Just like Dexter Trinity had a troubling past that led him to kill people just like the way his family had died. I thought it was interesting how at the end of the season Dexter has set up the killing room for Trinity. He had played music and left pictures and a train set around for Trinity so that he was comfortable enough for Dexter to kill him. It was also sad because at the very end Dexter returns home and finds his baby boy Harrison on the floor of the bathroom covered in his mothers blood. Rita Dexter’s wife was murdered by Trinity or at least that’s what it seems because some of the females that were murdered that he had committed were the same way Rita was murdered in the bathtub in a pool of blood. This season had a very thrilling, suspenseful beginning and a shocking ending. It did make me cry when Rita was murdered but now Dexter can focus more on Killing and taking care of the kids. I realize that Dexter has many weaknesses and I think that’s what makes him human and I love every part of his character.
