      It really was the peak of what i remember from the show. It does having an intriguing consequence that Dexter starts to be concerned his son will have the same reaction that Dexter did to witnessing his mother’s death and starts monitoring him for signs. If I remember correctly, he’s both concerned that his son will be cursed to be like him, but also excited by the idea of having a bond and mentorship with him through it. But even that gets a bit hamfisted as I recall and ultimately goes nowhere. The show really whimpered out in later seasons.

      I rewatched about a year ago, and the only episode I skipped was the series finale, the final episode. As far as I’m concerned my head canon is the real ending.

      I was very happy to see both Original Sin, and Resurrection. No, he couldn’t have survived a close-range hunting rifle shot to the chest, but I don’t care. I was just happy to have more Dexter.

        Yeah when I first heard about Resurrection I went all Annie Wilkes for about ten seconds but then I was just stoked for more Dexter. I liked the first season but I felt bad for poor Batista.
