Jimmy Smits being added to the cast was absolutely brilliant. His character has added a new dimension to Dexter. He's a different kind of villain, something different from Ice Truck, Doakes, or even that insane brit Lila. Dex never trusted any of them. When he Spoiler: flipped out last week after realizing that it was cow blood on the shirt I feel like the Dexter character really evolved: he felt something.
Does anyone else thing that the series is about Spoiler: Dexter becoming human? It feels like he is less and less a victim of his sickness and more and more is becoming normal. He started out alone and a complete slave to the hunger, but then found sexuality with Rita. He learned to appreciate her and her children. He learned about his biological mother, and her relationship with Harry. He learned how deeply he appreciated Camilla, who was a surrogate mother for him in many ways. And now he actually felt anger towards Miguel Prado... that's a big deal. And now marriage and a child? I wonder if the end of the series will be Dexter departing from the influence of the dark passenger for good. It would be an interesting way to take it.
