Review - Dexter Season 4 Episode 10 Lost Boys

I enjoyed this episode much more than the previous few episodes. The action was ramped up, and there was less of the other people I don't enjoy watching (Angel, LaGuerta). This season has been better than the previous two, but I find myself hard pressed to be amazed by the same antics every year.

Trinity kidnapping the boy added another twists to the craziness that is Arthur Mitchell. Starting the cycle by killing himself showed acknowledgement that when his sister was died, the previous Arthur died along with her. But he can still play with trains first. John Lithgow did an incredible job as he does every week and continues to be creepy and imposing. I think he has been the highlight of the season which is great since it seems everyone except for me is totally ecstatic about the show and the season.

The relationship between Trinity and Christine became more clear. She was never in league with him, but saw he in the bathtub as a child, and finally put together the pieces. Maybe being a serial killer is genetic, because she shot Lundy and Deb without consulting Trinity. It's possible that seeing her father kill someone at a young age was similar trauma to the one he suffered as a child leading to her being able to shoot someone cold blood. It will be interesting to see how far gone Christine is an whether the police will be able to extract information out of her.

Masuka is having a hard time deciding what to do. He knows what he saw was wrong and Dexter should know, but is having a hard time getting it out of his mouth. The preferable choice would be if the images were erased from his mind, but since that can't happen, he'll have to make a decision sooner or later.

Score: 9.2/10
