Dexter's dark passengers, what did you think of last episode?

[yurbud]

My take: it was great when Lundy bumped into Trinity, but he WASN'T the one who shot Deb and Lundy. It wasn't careful and ritualistic enough. Also, they didn't show the killers face, so it could have been someone else, like Anton. So Dexter will find this out as he's about to dispatch trinity and realizes he didn't do it, or if he did it, anton will be falsely accused because of jealosy motive.

1. Poor Dexter.. that annoying older sister of his never leaves him alone!

5. she's his younger sister

2. My thoughts are

it was indeed Trinity. In fact when Lundy left that message on Dex's answering machine I thought for sure Lundy would end up being vic #3 bludgeoned to death. However - when they bumped into each other earlier in the ep, I think Trinity took something from Lundy - or planted something on him which would allow him to find Lundy later. Anton will probably be used as a red herring as will the vacation killer. The look on Lundy's face - not the creepy one when he fell, but right before the shots rang out looked to me like Lundy being kind of shocked as in "Oh shit, you really are Trinity". He recorded some notes or possibly left the info on Dex's answering machine about what Trinity looks like (I forget) which I'm sure will come into play in the next ep. Right now there seem to be 3 logical suspects - the vacation killer who shot at Angel and LaGuerda earlier, Anton, and Trinity. My money is on Trinity - will make it personal for Dex to track him down if that's the case and you don't wanna mess with Dex when he's angry! :evilgrin:

6. I thought of Lundy being the bludgeon victim before the episode...

that's a pretty straight line if it is Trinity, so the story would need a red herring as an obstacle to Trinity being caught.

[slay]

9. Trinity is obviously very good

To have been at it for soooo many years and not only not get caught, but have basically nobody in the FBI seeing the pattern but Lundy and him being unable to even convince them. I think Trinity sees not getting caught as a challenge - and Lundy as a threat so he took him out using the vacation killer as cover. We shall see. :popcorn:

3. I thought the same thing about it not ....

being ritualistic enough. However, he could possible have a different plan for and end game. He said "I'm caught." so that could have changed things up a bit. As much as Deborah annoys the fuck out of me I don't want to see her die. Of course, Anton was a criminal so no matter what I'm sure he'll be looked at. Now, about Trinity bumping into Lundy. Lundy should have been more on guard. He was suspicious enough to record the description. Also, I think Lundy reads something in Dexter, more that he lets on. On to Quinn, he is an idiot and I'm not buying into the relationship with the reporter. I hope the writing of the sub-plots gets better.

4. I don't know what to think. Anton and jealousy would seem

too obvious, but it doesn't seem ritualistic enough to be Trinity except, as someone else mentioned, Trinity might have gotten paranoid since Lundy was so close. Also, I agree what someone else said about Lundy seeing more into Dexter. I love this show. I agree that the reporter & Quinn thing is irritating and they could work on the sub plots.

[yurbud]

7. maybe the reporter looks into Quinn and finds what Yuki couldn't then blackmails

him to be her source--or finds some really nasty secret other than skimming cash from crime scenes.

I did think Lundy was way too obvious in following Trinity--he might as well have grabbed on to his coattail.

[Mollis]

8. Didn't seem like Trinity to me

seemed like...a robbery. Whoever shot them just took Lundy's wallet and took off.

[LeftyMom]

11. Was that the wallet? I thought he took the voice recorder

that Lundy had used earlier to record Trinity's description after seeing him and getting suspicious.

Okay, I checked and you can't tell what the shooter gets out of Lundy's back pocket, the camera cuts away, and then cuts back to him taking his watch. Since we're kept from seeing the thing removed and the wallet is the obvious thing since the watched being removed next makes it look like a robbery I'm still going to go with the voice recorder.

BTW, I think the scene where Lundy sees Trinity is quite misleading as well. Trinity sees Lundy taking notes into the voice recorder, stops and retreats behind the column, rolls his eyes in an almost orgasmic way and then says "I'm found" in a voice that suggests anticipation and excitement, not terror. Then, rather than retreating into the building or going another way, he intentionally bumps into Lundy, and plays up his nervousness and need to hide, dropping his keys, stammering, adopting a wild-eyed, pursued look. We've seen enough of Trinity's usual demeanor to assume this is deliberate and he's got something in mind other than evading Lundy.

[yurbud]

13. good analysis!

[slay]

15. Also, when Trinity bumps into Lundy

it looked like he may have possibly reached inside Lundy's jacket. Hard to tell if he was maybe planting something on him - GPS maybe - that he then removed at the shooting. Hrmmm...

[yurbud]

16. oh...that might be the deal with pre-murder chats with victims

[yurbud]

12. that's an odd form of robbery--if it was Anton, it would be an amateurish way to make it look

like a robbery.

[wickerwoman]

10. I think Trinity already got his third kill

(the guy at the bar who he baited into kicking and punching him).

So since he was freed from the necessity to kill in a ritualistic way for this cycle, he was able to shoot at Deb and Lundy out of simple self-preservation.

[slay]

14. Possible

but I dunno if he killed that guy or not. But I do agree it was probably Trinity who gunned down Deb and Lundy. Not Lundy NOOOOOO! :(
