It would be nice if they could find a way to bring back Beloved Character Actress Margo Martindale. Maybe she can be Dexter's new ghost conscience or something.

Have you been watching Your Honor? She's in that, which is a much much better show than Dexter.

Low bar, but still.

Hopefully Dexter's transformation to lumberjack is now so complete that he spends the season hunting and killing dangerous trees.

So here's the first look at Dexter.

What do you guys wanna bet he's not even going by an alias. Or if he is it's something like Dexter Moran.

damn i'm really in this bitch

1 episode of him being called something aggressively normal, like Joe, and having a girlfriend and a normal life, and he’s fighting the urge to be himself the entire episode, and then at the end of the episode when he has someone in the trunk of his car he either looks distraught or smiles at the camera so that the audience knows “heeeee’s baaaaaaack”

Odds for the first words in the script being "Tonight's the night" ?

Edit: New season will cover an alternate reality in which Dexter's parade daydream from the end of S1 actually happened.

Jennifer Carpenter will absolutely be back as Head Deb and probably take over the Head Harry role. Head Laguerta will also make an appearance.

Hopefully. I always felt like Lauren Velez would have been good value for money as a proper, slightly campy villain. Playing around as a vengeful ghost spirit might be a good fit for her.

She’ll always be presented as sitting on the bench and it will make it all worthwhile.

All of Head Deb's advice will be given while sitting on the Laguerta bench. It's like poetry since Deb killed her.

Ghost Harry was a mistake. Bring back the flashbacks, but this time with actual younger actors. Even if they do cost more than a cheap wig.

Odd choice of music. Did they lose the rights to the ritual intro theme? That was actually a good theme and will probably immediately draw the attention of anybody who recognizes it.

Edit: Just the first two bars would do it.

Nope please no more butchering of that season 1 soundtrack that they never assed themselves to update or add to. :negative:

Yeah, the soundtrack quality dropped after the first season, and fell off a cliff somewhere after season 2. Really lame.

The warped version of the intro when Dexter was dealing with the kids after Rita died was the last time the score work was interesting.

Huh, I didn't notice the plastic wrapped person struggling in the reflection, but as soon as you know they're there it's impossible to not see and hear them.

I hope they go with some different opening music. The opening credits for Dexter are some of the best of any show ever, they do such a good job of setting up what the show is, communicating how his entire ordinary life has this darkness hiding just beneath. With him being in a very different situation now and also being well aware that he can't "have it all" that doesn't fit.

Instead of fresh meat it'll be jerky. Instead of running it'll be chopping wood. Instead of eggs it'll be... still eggs. No floral shirt. Maybe floral socks.
