I am a huge fan of the show, but I agree that this season isn't as good as some in the past. Peter Weller is on the show still and he is interesting, but he, like others on the show is kind of a stereotype. He is a drunk cop who is in trouble and losing his career an thinks this might bring him back out of it.
I actually really liked the finale of Season 4. Dexter as a married guy wasn't going to work and this freed him up. I suppose having him keep the baby is just a tool to yank him around and show how hard it is for him to carry out his deeds now. This season started off good, but it seems to be lacking something and has some very far fetched moments. I know they have Michael C. Hall under contract for at least 2 more seasons so hopefully over those 2 seasons they will fashion a legit ending to this before it goes on too long and completely falls apart.
Still, an average episode of Dexter is better than just about every other show out there these days. They have four episodes left, I hope they pull it together in a solid way.
BTW I like Julia Stiles. She is hot and in those early episodes when she was still all beat up and being held captive she was pretty freaking good as well.
