I have just finished all seasonsof Dexter. Just wow I actually feel like im going to have withdrawal symptoms. No spoilers for anyone but my god James Bond eat your heart out when it comes to villains and lovers. For me Issac the best baddie and Hannah for the love chemistry.

Were you asleep during Season 4 ?
No I loved Trinity also. But for on screen charisma and general badness I loved watching Issac. His scenes with Dexter were fantastic.
Disliked Lila intensely, and hope Hannah ends up on his slab very soon. Rita was a whining bore, so although her exit was the shock of the whole series, I was glad she went.
Luman definately a nicer person than Hannah and yes I hope she ends up on the table. Just thought they sizzled together more than anyone else.
I thought they had the least chemistry of any of his lovers (even the hated Lila) I genuinely couldn't buy that they were in love so that whole storyline made the last season a let down
Issac and Dexter on screen together was fantastic - its a shame they bumped him off when they did
Personally, I think Rita was Dexters best partner/lover.
She grounded the show and brought a warmth and humanity to a series that can become VERY OTT and almost cartoonish.
I liked that one minute Dexter would be butchering someone, then the next he would have to be home with Rita and the kids.
A lot of people found her (and the relationship) annoying, but for me, Rita and Dexters domestic set up/problems made the show more real.
I agree, I found Lumen & Hannah to be be typical drama fodder with no personality. They were simply bland. I found it fascinating how the relationship between Rita and Dexter grew and the contrast between Dexter the family man and his "activities"
It felt like Hannah and Lumen were wheeled on and wheeled off without any substance to their relationships with Dexter.
As for Trinity, I did not think they could better the Ice Truck Killer, but they did......
For me the show took a turn for the worst post season 4 (even though season 3 was poor)...
What was an exciting, engaging story with superb direction, production, writing etc etc kind of turned into what I would call your standard US thriller/drama (still entertaining etc, but not the show it was in the earlier seasons) although I appreciate this is subjective.
I agree i know she could be a bit annoying but to me that relationship grounded the series making it not so farcical at times, i also liked Lumen the closest it came after Rita going.
Best villain for me was Isaac would have loved to have seen more of him tho
I think it starts on FX next month? Can't wait.:D
Well, I think its widely acknowlaged that Season's 5 and 6 haven't matched Season 4 (no idea bout Season 7)
It may very well be that Season 4 will turn out to be Dexters Peak. The same way that The Empire Strikes Back is widely ackowlaged to be the peak of Star Wars. We won't know until the whole thing is finished next year and we can see all 8 seasons as a complete work.
Starts on Fox / FX on Sunday 24th February @ 9PM
Luman
Rita is still my favourite love interest. I liked her and Dexter's relationship in the first couple of seasons especially, I found it sweet. Sure, she did get a bit too naggy as time went on but at least their relationship felt properly developed, over time. Dexter's sudden love for Lumen and then Hannah were too rushed for me and Lila was just irritating.
