DEXTER: Season 5 (Lumen)

Lumen (Julia Stiles) was the best way for Dexter (Michael C. Hall) to find the thrill to kill again and not be stressed about his new "family" life... To get over Rita (Julie Benz), accept again his dark passenger and separate the "different" parts of his life. Yes, she (Lumen)left, and yes we hated her at first for being there and then hated her for leaving... but she had to leave, her character made us hate her and love her and then be sad and happy about it; It made us believe in a "normal", caring Dexter with a dark twist, which is not what Dexter is all about... (it would've end up with the "Rita love business" all over again) ...But it couldn't work because he was her crutch but she does not have a dark passenger, and the writers can't get us used to Dexter the "loving man"... they need to get us back to basics, to this unusual feeling of enjoying the work of a "good" serial killer... like when he was dating Rita but wasn't so involve. Maybe she'll be back, and maybe in a twisted way, or maybe not... but not for now. Props to the writers, because they always know how to make us be surprised at the end of the seasons, even though for a bit there we almost lost it around season 4, but hey I guess we're back on!
