It's so interesting because what you describe is how I see it is supposed to work... it makes total sense that Dexter needs to evolve. And yet, as he has I have found the show less and less interesting. I am in a minority there I think but it's just become more and more unbelievable to me. I think it's not just that he has changed but the *way* that he has changed that I've found a stretch. But then I was never attached to him the way other people were... so I would have been quite comfortable continuing on without seeing more human reactions from him.
You're totally right about Rita. I think her death was very fitting in a way--she was always totally blind, but that didn't mean she wasn't a victim. She died 'pure' in the sense of being so trusting of Dexter and never knowing the truth, but her unknowingness also opened the door for her to be the ultimate victim.
