DEXTER: The Best Show You’re Not Watching

[Spoiler Alert: This post talks about last night’s episode, so if you haven’t watched it, don’t read this!] Yet another ‘killer’ episode of DEXTER (will that joke ever get old?). This weeks episode featured Dexter being told that his biological father (or bio-dad as Deb so eloquently put it) just recently died. This of course came as a surprise to Dexter since his adoptive father Harry always told him that his Dad died thirty years ago. Needless to say the episode raised many fascinating questions and further sucked me into this highly addictive show.

How did the Ice Truck Killer (ITK) know about Dexter’s bio dad before he did? And more importantly, why did the ITK kill Dexter’s bio-dad? (There goes my theory that Dexter and ITK share the same father. They could of course still have the same mother!)

Why was Dexter’s bio-dad in prison for thirty years? I wonder if that’s how Harry met Dexter’s dad.

What is the ITK’s overall plan? He’s obviously obsessed with Dexter for some reason or other. What’s the connection? It definitely seems personal, and I’m going to guess they’re somehow related.

Finally, why is Paul still alive? Poor Rita, I seriously was hoping that Rita would kill drunken Paul with a baseball bat. Looks like Dexter will have to take the matter into his own hands.
