4x05 - Dirty Harry

Recent events spur Dexter into his own investigation of the Trinity killer. His motivations are now personal, and the clock is ticking. But the closer Dexter gets, the more he realizes that Trinity is unlike any monster he?s previously encountered. Meanwhile, Debra blames herself for events that were out of her control, and in so doing pushes away those closest to her. As LaGuerta and Batista close in on the Vacation Murderers, Batista realizes he can use Quinn?s relationship with a certain reporter to his advantage. And when Rita discovers a secret Dexter?s been keeping from her, she begins to realize just how little she knows about the man she married.

4x06 - If I Had A Hammer

Dexter knows it?s only a matter of time before Miami Metro discovers the Trinity Killer?s latest handiwork. Therefore, he has to work doubly hard to stay one step ahead of their investigation. Dexter has begun to realize that the closer he gets to Trinity, the more he stands to learn from this very different beast. Trinity hides behind a well-kept mask, and getting behind that facade will require some extra prodding on Dexter?s part. Meanwhile, Debra becomes frustrated when she finds herself shut out from her own case. She considers bending the rules in the name of justice, risking her career in the process. LaGuerta and Batista come to regret a major decision, and realize that by playing by the rules they may have painted themselves into a corner. And when the friction between Rita and Dexter comes to a head, Dexter gleans relationship advice from a most unlikely source.

4x07 - Slack Tide

Dexter finds himself enjoying a brief moment of tranquility. He's finally managed to strike a balance between work, family... and other pursuits. But he's keenly aware that times like these aren't meant to last. When Miami Metro discovers a string of murders connected to a prominent photographer, Dexter sees an opportunity for a clean kill. However, his plans seem to be thwarted every step of the way. Quinn has taken a renewed interest in Dexter's nightlife. Dexter's plans to keep Astor and Cody distracted with new activities soon backfire. Even Harry disapproves of Dexter's choice of pastime, urging him instead to focus his efforts on the Trinity Killer. Meanwhile, Debra returns to work, frustrated to find everyone treating her with kid gloves. She decides to concentrate on her pursuit of the Trinity Killer as well as delving into her father's checkered past ? investigations which Dexter fears might lead her to danger ? or worse, the truth.

4x08 - Road Kill

Dexter has always known his father?s Code was meant to protect him from exposure. But after committing a serious mistake, he wonders if it could have been designed to protect him from something even more dangerous ? human emotion. When he discovers that Trinity is planning an out-of-town trip, Dexter sees an opportunity to ride along and gain insight into the mind of a fellow monster. Even so, Dexter isn?t prepared for the startling revelations Trinity makes along the way, revelations about his own past which only serve to convince Dexter of what he must do. Meanwhile, back at Miami Metro, Debra refuses to let a technicality keep her off the Trinity case. She works through others to ensure her voice is heard ? that is, until she realizes that her single-minded pursuit of the Trinity Killer may have blinded her to the truth.

4x09 - Hungry Man

For most people, Thanksgiving is a time for traditions and family. But for Dexter, it?s an opportunity to get closer to his most dangerous adversary yet. As Dexter gains insight into Arthur?s psychology by studying those closest to him, he finds himself drawn into a bizarre and twisted world. Meanwhile, Rita has her hands full preparing dinner for a packed house, including a few unexpected guests. Batista gets closure on an old case, while Debra uses the holiday to continue her investigation of the Trinity Killer, a pursuit which threatens her brother?s safety and brings to light surprising revelations about someone else close to her.

4x10 - Lost Boys

Dexter finally believes he understands the beast known as Trinity. But when a ten-year old boy goes missing, Dexter is forced to question everything he?s learned up to this point. It?s a race against the clock. And with each step forward, Dexter has to confront the real possibility that he may have more in common with Trinity than he?d like to admit. Secrets abound ? from Cody, who is forced to defend one of Dexter?s lies, Masuka, who can?t bring himself to confess what he witnessed at Thanksgiving, and Debra, whose recent discoveries force one of Miami?s finest into makIGNossible decision.

Oh my god, this episode was good. the ending caught me completely off guard :o

Me too! The most obvious answer is Anton did this, but I'm thinking the writers want us to think that. But I have a hard time believe the Trinity Killer shot them though, so maybe a random robbery?

And :woot: Dexter killing a cop. Total bad-ass Dex! I have to wonder if that comes back to bite him in the ass though. He's killed a DA and a cop now. No small fish.

She was shot in the hip, she's not going to die :(

Yeah, it seems that they are following the fourth novel a little with this. In the novel Deb is stabbed in that general area and in the show she's shot. Nice to see that they do sync with the novel on some subplots (even if they do vary the circumstances).

How different are the characters in the novel? Do they have pretty much the same attitude and outlook? I'd like to read the books but hearing book two and on are different from the show I was wondering if they kept the feel of the characters and the humour the same.

I absolutely loved episode four. It was really well done and it had a great ending. As far as disliking Deb, I actually like her. Rita on the other hand...Why is Dex the only one getting up at night to tend to their kid?

Also, I really kind of hope it wasn't Trinity who killed Lundy and shot Deb only because a lot of serial killers *like* knowing someone is hunting them as they're arrogant in the sense they feel they can't be caught and that it adds a little something to their "career". Of course not all are the same and I wouldn't be disappointed if the shooter was the Trinity killer. The writers of the show always have a way to make it seem unique and fitting.

I really enjoy the books more than the show to be honest. Don't get me wrong, I still love the show, but love the novels more.

Dexter is very different IMO in some ways and exactly the same in others. Like, for example, I think Dexter in the show is more human than he is in the novels. In the show there is a lot of sexuality that isn't in the novels at all. Dexter is, for all tense and purposes, completely oblivious to the point of sex other than creating offspring. Another big point is the "Dark Passenger" is very much made a separate entity in the novels, a spirit if you will, that controls Dexter's underlying need to hunt and kill, whereas the show makes the Dark Passenger just a name for Dexter's erg to kill.

Rita is fairly the same and Deb is totally the same. I don't think there's any difference in her whatsoever.

The books are so much better and there is a lot more humor in them than the show I think. The show is a little more serious than the novels. The novels are also a lot MORE graphic too.

That's actually not a realistic portrait of a serial killer. If a serial killer thinks he's about to get caught, as the Trinity Killer clearly states, "I'm found," then he may take drastic measures to so that he isn't caught. Trinity realized that only Lundy saw him there and Deb obviously didn't see him, only has what Lundy told him (that is if they ever got around to talking about that), so it is very possible that it is Trinity.

Serial killers aren't arrogant. They are intelligent and everything is planned out. Mass killers are, however, arrogant. There's a HUGE difference in the two.

But up until that point where they're about to get caught they do like knowing they've stirred up that kind of commotion don't they? I always thought quite a few serial killers were arrogant in that sense. I feel lame being wrong lol.

Thanks by the way for the description of the novels. More humour is always nice as I love the type of humour they do have on the show. I may just go to Barnes & Noble and pick up book one tonight. Or I might wait until I can get to Powell's and pay a lot less for it.

Don't feel lame. I have to be honest, I'm a serial killer nerd. Of course, I'm a self-proclaimed psychopath too :p I've actually considered going into the criminal justice system, I know so much about psychology and figuring out puzzles.

I can't say that what you're saying isn't true for all serial killers though. I should have clarified my position. Some serial killers do enjoy the hunt more than the kill itself. But I'd say those people started out something completely different than a serial killer. They probably started out as a serial rapist and then when that didn't satisfy them sexually, they started killing.

The FBI estimates that there are 70 active serial killers in the US at any given time. Technically, to be classified as a serial killer, all you need to do is kill more than three with a grace period in between the kills, so it isn't difficult to became a serial killer, and thus there's a lot of different elements that go into profiling them.

So I apologize for saying you were wrong, you aren't and you are. From my own personal studies, I've found that the most notorious serial killers don't get off on letting the victims know they're hunting them. If anything, that would typically scare them away because they don't want to get caught and their victims knowing more than they should could easily allow them to get caught.

That's why I feel lame, I thought I was one as well. Of course there's so many different serial killers over the course of history some are bound to have their quirks and peculiarities individual to themselves. I mean, aside from the obvious ones of killing. I was actually thinking more of rapists who become serial killers for not only control but sexual gratification. I should have likely specified that as well. I swear I'm not saying that to make myself sound less wrong - honest. And hey, it's better to be a self-proclaimed psychopath than one given the label by a shrink right?

Because she takes care of all of them during day.

Dont see Anton as a killer, more like Trinity gimping an investigation.

also,

I thought she got a job in season three, my mistake. And yeah, I don't see Anton as one as well and the more I think about it, I like Trinity being the guy pegged to that crime. It can really work well in the hands of good writers, which this show definitely has.

I like her...her potty mouth is a cool addition to the already amazing show :p

Yeah that's how I felt during season 1 and then she just got incredibly tedious to watch! And imagine if she does get murdered? Imagine the almighty death storm Dex will bring down when he finds out :D

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more.

Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance.

Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer.

It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more.

Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers.
