Debra finds out, if you read the novels she's the one who finds out and doesn't turn him in. Granted the series doesn't take from the novels (most of season 1 was) I think they will stay true and have her find out.

As much as I'd like to see Dexter with his kid, I still think he will be a baby next season. If anything, have him older in Season 5. They've stayed true to the timeline so far, seems odd that they would leave such a large gap. Dexter still needs to get used to having a family before being a father.

Haha, I knew it! I haven't read the books, although I did skim through the first one when I was in a book store a few months ago, and did notice it seemed the show (Season 1) was almost verbatim from the books.

I'm so excited for next season! I found this article with SPECULATIONS for Season 4. Discuss:

When was the last time you found yourself rooting for a serial killer? Dexter (Michael C. Hall) is easily one of the most disturbing character's I've seen on TV, yet I find myself dying to see what he'll do next. A Miami blood spatter analyst by day and murderer by night, Dexter is trying to make the world a better place – one homicide at a time. In the midst of all the slaughter, gore and body parts, he also manages to make up for his lack of emotion with professional support, guiding sister Debra (Jennifer Carpenter through crime scenes with a real insider’s view, while building a world where he can, in fact exist.

When Dexter ended its third season, it was on a somber yet oddly bloody note. With Miguel Prado out of his way, life is good for Dexter Morgan and it seems that things are about as normal as they can get for America’s favorite serial killer. All that stands before him now is his future with Rita and her kids, not to mention his impending fatherhood. While I would have loved to see a more suspenseful finale, it did offer a few cliffhangers that might serve as clues to what’s in store for the upcoming season.

The first is Rita’s secret. Dexter realized that Rita (Julie Benz) lied about being married twice before and doesn’t understand why she would conceal this. And while he does come to the conclusion that everyone has skeletons in their closet, it makes me wonder if this will be more significant next season seeing that there may be more to Rita than meets the eye.

Furthermore, the last scene of the season 3 finale focused on a few drops of blood leaking from Dexter’s cast (an injury he actually got from his encounter with The Skinner) onto Rita’s dress as they shared their first dance as husband and wife. This could be a minor plot point as Dexter heads into the fourth season but I can’t help but look forward to how Dexter will work his way out of this dilemma given that he lied about his broken arm.

I also think that season 4 will delve deeper into the mystery that is Quinn, while Batista (David Zayas) finds out some things about Barbara that might surprise him. As for Masuka, I expect that love might be in the cards for him.

Last but not the least, I think that the season 4 will focus on Debra trying to find out which C.I. Harry was messing around with. When last season came to a close, the picture of Dexter’s birth mother was already lying on top of Debra's desk so it’s only a matter of time before Debra learns that Harry was having an affair with Dexter's mother. And when she does, she may also connect the dots between Brian Moser the Ice Truck Killer and his brother Dexter. I’m not sure if this will all play out on the fourth season or even further down the road, but it’s interesting to see if Debra will choose to be good sister or good cop when she finds out about Dexter’s secrets. Bringing Deb down this path can only lead to either her death, or his exposure. If this happens, it might be the end of Dexter as we know it. But fans need not worry as Showtime has already picked up this Emmy-nominated drama for two additional seasons. This means, Dexter won’t be ending anytime soon.

All things considered, the challenge for the creative team behind Dexter will continue to be, as it’s always been, the evolution of Dexter as a human being. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned on Dexter, it’s only to expect the unexpected.

Dexter is expected to return with new episodes in the fall of 2009.

I think the blood drop is meaningless. Btw, we need to start a new thread soon. Rappy go find us some never before heard rumors :)

Yeah I think it was just kind of a visual and artistic thing. The dark red blood on the pristine white wedding dress and all that.

    • My father still uses a programme written in dbase3. Still manages to work with a little help from dosbox. 
    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC by Sayan Sen Windows enthusiasts often look for ways to extract as much performance out of their systems as possible, and it's often the case that they try and do so while trying to minimize the heat and power consumption. This is especially relevant in the case of mobile Windows PCs since laptops and notebooks tend to get hot and management of that heat and power is harder in such a form factor. As such users often turn to techniques like under-volting which can be used to squeeze out the maximum capabilities of a chip while also maintaining lowered power levels. There are official apps from AMD and Intel with the likes of Ryzen Master and XTU (Extreme Tuning Utility). While these are quite handy, most enthusiasts probably prefer to dig into the BIOS and play around with settings there like Curve Optimizer on Ryzen, which lets users set various frequency-voltage scaling values. These are essentially called P-States. If you are not familiar with them, Processor Power Management is done through Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) P-states and C-states. While P-states or performance pwoer states handle CPU voltage-frequency scaling, C-states deal with CPU sleep states so that some of the CPU functions, which are not necessary at that moment, can be disabled. The P-states and C-states work together to make the processor run more efficiently. It helps the OS and apps determine which cores can be parked and which should be boosted. Of course not every user is an enthusiast or knows the technicalities and integrities of how things like overclocking or undervolting work. Thankfully for them Windows itself offers something pretty cool, though it is hidden by default on all systems. By default, Windows only has two P-States, "Minimum Processor State" and "Maximum Processor State." However, this can be changed with a Registry trick to expand the options under a secret "Processor performance boost mode" dropdown. This essentially enables the HWP or hardware P-States available on a device, and these are not controlled just by the OS itself as the underlying hardware gets involved too. In total there are five Processor Performance Boost Mode profiles that control how Windows requests and allows CPU turbo/boost behavior under the different power policies. They are: Disabled: In this mode, processor boosting is effectively turned off. The CPU will avoid entering turbo or boost frequencies and instead operate closer to its base frequency ceiling. This can significantly reduce power consumption and heat output, but at the cost of reduced burst performance and responsiveness in short workloads. Enabled: This is the standard behavior where boost functionality is allowed under normal conditions. The processor can opportunistically increase frequency when workload demands it, balancing performance gains with power and thermal constraints as managed by the system. Aggressive: Aggressive mode favors performance more heavily, allowing the CPU to enter higher boost states more readily and sustain them longer. This should in theory improve responsiveness under bursty or heavy workloads but increases power draw and thermal output compared to the default enabled behavior. Efficient Enabled: This mode still allows boosting, but with a stronger bias toward energy efficiency. The system attempts to use boost more selectively, avoiding unnecessary frequency spikes when the performance gain is marginal. Efficient Aggressive: This is a hybrid approach where boost is still performance-responsive, but the system continuously weighs efficiency more heavily than in Aggressive mode. It aims to deliver noticeable performance improvements while reducing wasted power in less demanding scenarios. Here's how to enable the Processor performance boost mode: Open Registry Editor: Press Win+R, type regedit, and click OK. Go to: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7 (where HKLM stands for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_) Modify the value of Attributes from 1 to 2 (you can find modify option by right-clicking) After that, exit Registry, you should now be able to see the new "Processor performance boost mode" dropdown menu: As you can see there are now five new P-States or CPPC states or power profile available that help define the boost mode processor setting on your PC. Wrapping it up here's a quick run-down of the settings as defined by Microsoft itself. Setting Description Disabled The corresponding P-state-based behaviour is disabled. Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC) behaviour is disabled. Enabled The corresponding P-state-based behaviour is enabled. CPPC behaviour is Efficient Enabled. Aggressive The corresponding P-state-based behaviour is enabled. CPPC behaviour is Aggressive. Efficient Enabled The corresponding P-state-based behaviour is Efficient. CPPC behaviour is Efficient Enabled. Efficient Aggressive The corresponding P-state-based behaviour is Efficient. CPPC behaviour is Aggressive. Aggressive At Guaranteed Windows calculates the desired extra performance above the guaranteed performance level, and asks the processor to deliver that specific performance level. Efficient Aggressive At Guaranteed Windows always asks the processor to deliver the highest possible performance above the guaranteed performance level. In the next part we shall be comparing these settings to explore how much of a benefit or regression they can provide in terms of performance and power efficiency. If you decide to change the values on your system and are experiencing problems like crashes or an overheating PC, make sure to revert the steps back to the original state.
