I thought he (Michael C. Hall) beat /
avoided the most serious bout of his cancer. (not entirely a "scare", but it was identified, and he underwent treatment to put it into remission; now that I look it up, yeah, he's supposedly cancer-free now.) I'm not sure of the timetable between his treatment and the actual next filming of this season's episodes, but you might be right in why there is a noticable difference in appearance, both between him and Deb (his real-life wife).
Still doesn't quite explain why the actor that plays Quinn now looks like an awkward teenager. Not sure if it's a weight loss issue, workout physique or there's just something I'm remembering wrong, but it looks as though if there was ever an in-real-life case of
horizontal minimalization (think of squeezing a banana / marshmallow in your hand) then Quinn could be a good modern-day representative of such a ridiculous occurrence. I'm not sure why I'm dwelling on this, but it is quite a bit distracting to the guy that notices these minute differences ('that guy' is me, and I'm paid to notice things, so maybe that's my gripe).
And I was
almost excited to see Dexter leave his family, career, life behind to start anew, and "on the lam" (sp?). Wouldn't have been as fun or engaging, but it could have been an interesting path for this arc to take, whereas Dexter is missing, and the FBI, his friends and co-workers are left to track him, possibly uncovering what has been alongside them (though hidden) all along - who Dexter
truly is.
