Also, argh, go and break my heart by reminding me of when Cody said that, why don't you... I really hope that in S5 they don't just have Dexter ditch the older kids off with Paul's parents or something. On the one hand, I can see him deciding that this is the message that he can't have a family, but equally, if he ditches them, that...removes the central interesting conflict of the show. The fact that Dexter still wants these things.
I want to see him struggle as a single father. Actually, what would be hilarious, if we're allowed to have things be hilarious when Rita's so awfully dead (and yes, I completely agree that they wanted Harrison to experience what Dexter experienced, though hopefully he's young enough it won't scar him for life), is if Deb moves in and tries to help him out and they form a new, weird family unit with Deb teaching Cody and Astor how to swear.
But, still, I come back to ARGH. I'm really nervous about S5. I can see ways they'd go with it that would keep me watching, but I can also see them going in directions that cause me to lose interest...
