Interesting about Anton. Never thought of it that way but I think its starting to make more sense instead of Trinity.

I'm starting to think Dex is going to hold back on killing Trinity until EP 11 or 12. He's going to try to befriend him to leach as much information out of him as he can. He did the same thing in S01, S02 and more memorably with Miguel. He'd been using Miguel's own lines with Rita. And now he's using Trinity's when he's in therapy. He talks about himself being the lone wolf who has to hide and survive. He's only going to learn from others. So I think he's going to leave Trinity be for a while.

^ Agreed. I still think he will have to kill him as he kills innocents. Just because he has his reasons doesn't make it acceptable. Notice how Dexter hasn't fallen back on Harry's advice. No visions. That episode was relieving even for me :) It was nice to see him find a way to keep his secret out in the open. Bitchy Rita was getting on my nerves. I really like watching him interact with Trinity. Similar to how his brother acted around him in Season 1. I wonder if Debra finds out about Dexter's mother. I'm guessing Harry slept with several of them so she might give up early. Or if she even finds out it was Anton. After the last episode I'm completely convinced it wasn't Trinity who shot them. His ritual is even more deep than Dexter's. He wouldn't impulsively kill him.

If Anton shot Deb and killed Lundy, does this mean Dex will have to kill Anton? I'd hate to work for that show. Great paychecks .... until you disappear! Would suck to get fired.

I doubt that the paycheques are that great either, since it a Showtime production. Well atleast the mortality rate is nowhere near as ridiculous as in 24.

It's interesting :\ I didn't think Trinity killed Lundy even when they first said it. I believed it was Anton, I'm not sure though. It might not have been Anton. How would he know that she would survive? She was pretty messed up wasn't she?

I'm getting really sick of Rita though >.< every time she appears it's like Oh no, she just never shuts up and she has a really irritating voice :p

It doesn't fit for it to be anyone but Anton. Quinn has no reason to do so, Trinity the same. Anton is the only one with a reason. Jealously. If it isn't than it's someone I would have never expected.

it's Doakes :shifty:

So Dexter doesn't kill Trinity with the axe I'm guessing since that red was just the paint on the axe, not blood. I can't say I blame Dex for keeping him alive since he can learn so much from him.

I'm really starting to like John Lithgow's performance more and more, seeing the two dynamics to his character.

Not to mention Dex doesn't kill anyone that's not wrapped in plastic.

I think Dex's new hideout is just waiting to be broken into...probably not this season, but it's begging to expose him.

I never really thought Anton shot Deb/Lundy but I certainly don't think its Trinity

Why not? I mean, he clearly was aware of who Lundy was and even got to see him face to face, hovering around his next kill spot. If anything, having a hotshot serial killer detective hanging around the place where you plan to make your next move would certainly be disastrous.

Lundy was an obstacle. Considering that Trinity's a "family man", he cannot risk having his identity exposed, for his own sake and his family's especially. I don't think he ever meant to really hit Debra, so his lack of concern for seeing to it that she was dead seems fitting. Besides, he probably wasn't even aware that Debra was a cop anyway, considering he only knew about Lundy when he saw his face sitting in the paper. Didn't he rob Lundy as well? A sloppy murder and robbery certainly covers the trail well, hiding any trace of a professional or someone with a real motive beyond cash.

I don't really see Anton being that passionate towards Debra either, much less someone able to hold up such an incredible poker face when he goes to see her in the hospital. Besides, she's already had one murderous boyfriend. Two would just seem overkill.

just seemed obvious and the great thing about this show is the obvious never happens

Right, and Trinity going out of his way beyond his "ritual" to gun down an obstacle really strikes me, as he isn't bound by any sense of morality like Dexter is, despite how much they both have in common. There aren't any rules for him at all, so long as he and his family are protected. That certainly makes him all the more dangerous as an opponent, and even less predictable I would argue.

"Dexter" is becoming Showtime's "True Blood."

Like HBO's dark hit this summer, "Dexter" keeps growing with nearly each episode, hitting another series high Sunday night -- 1.9 million viewers for its first airing.

The series has gained more than 600,000 viewers over the past three weeks. Compare that to Sunday's "Mad Men" (which matched its season average of 1.8 million) and AMC has roughly quadruple the potential audience over Showtime.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
