In re: Dexter 5x06, "Everything Is Illumenated':
It was fantastic. Perfect viewing for an October 31 st evening. <grin>
I'm loving the Dexter-Lumen dynamic that is steadily being stitched together. It sort of evokes last season's Trinity-Dexter dynamic but that was in reverse (Dexter as student) and it wasn't anywhere as overt as the Dexter-Lumen relationship is becoming (also see 'spoiler' above).
Instead of Dex losing his humanity due to wife Rita's murder it is becoming apparent that the bit of humanity that has taken seed within Dexter cannot be expunged even though he does continue to purge (by killing serial killers) his 'Dark Passenger.'
Now that Dexter has recognized a dark passenger within Lumen, he sees a bit of himself reflected back at him and he, whether it breaks The Code of Harry or not, intends to help her purge her passenger-- if at possible. It may be wishful thinking or over-identification. Whatever 'it' is that is motivating Dexter to help Lumen it has gone beyond just protecting himself. I am so looking forward to more of the two of them--as well as the rest of the always pitch-perfect cast--doing what they do best.
