Dexters screaming when he killed that guy is such top tier acting from Micheal C Hall as well as his speech at the funeral
The funeral speech from Dexter is one of the most memorable scenes on the series. It perfectly shows the emotional side of Dexter, great character development
I don’t remember if it was the first 5 episode or all of season 5 but Michael C Hall wore a wig because he was undergoing chemotherapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma. He also won a Golden Globe while wearing a cap to cover his hair loss from chemotherapy. Such an amazing actor!
God it was a gut punch when Dexter realized he did love Rita.
Shock and grief are a hell of a thing. It took me 6 months to cry when my dad passed. I think Dexter's reaction is totally reasonable even if he wasn't a psychopath... Or at least as reasonable as grief can be
I love Season 5. It has some really great guest actors and I think the storyline is really good.
I think the reason why Rita isnt in dexters subconscious is because she never knew the real dexter. She didn't know about the dark passenger so it wouldnt make sense to have her speak to him.
Dexter at the funeral home reminded me of the HBO show "Six Feet Under" which is another great series that Michael C Hall was in.
Bro watching Dexter scream like that makes me cry
