The 5th season premier of Dexter brought us back to the horrible scene we last saw as season 4 was coming to a close. Dexter's beautiful wife, Rita, was murdered by the man he had been hunting all season long. This season he must find a way to be a father to the three children his wife left behind, as well as make time for his favorite past time, killing.
Although the season premier was depressing, I feel like it was the perfect, and only, way to start off the season. I know I was shocked and upset when I saw Rita had been murdered, and although Dexter doesn't think he has the emotional capacity of "normal" people, he was obviously upset when he walked in on a scene of his dead wife. It took an hour worth of television for him to accept his anger and sadness, and to act on these feelings... although it led him to kill a random stranger, and ultimately breaking the kill code that his foster father Harry had taught him to follow.
This week was the 3rd episode to season 5, and I thought it was the best episode yet of the new season. He has a new "project" which seems creepy and promising. A man who works for the county sanitation company and murders women, then puts them into barrels and throws them into a swamp... like I said, creepy.
Although Dexter's "dark passenger's" needs are being met, his family is ripping apart at the seams. Astor and Cody, Rita's children from her former marriage are going to live with their grandparents. Although Cody wants to stay with Dexter, Astor wants nothing to do with him and blames Dexter for her mother's death. I have a feeling this isn't the last we'll be seeing these two, but this will give Dexter a lot more free time, and we all know what that means :)
That's all for now.. Stay tuned for more updates from your fave shows!
