Above: Sorry Screen caps I made are crap; promo photos issued by Showtime are OK.
So you're digging Julia Stiles as Lumen? Especially she and Michael C. Hall together? Hmph. About time! I said it once before but it bears repeating: the Lumen character worked.
We've seen a Dexter that had never been exposed before because he'd not yet met Lumen. She has forever changed him. I hope against hope for a not-sad ending for these two.
I never thought, even for a second, that season 5 directly on the heels of the season 4 murder of Dexter's wife Rita, funeral and all, turned out out the way it has. Another cool thing is the show feels fresh--much as it did with last year's balls-out effort with John Lithgow as the 'Trinity Killer', who killed or was responsible for most of Dexter's family getting either shot or killed (Deb in the mid-section to the side area, next to her, together on the ground of the motel parking lot a dying former Agent and current paramour Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine) by Trinity's adult daughter/ Joey Quinn's squeeze. Then there was Rita of course, by Trinity).
I hope Lumen (Julia Stiles) survives because I :heart: Lumen, as she's been such a nice 'partner' for Dexter. Certainly, each was the other's after-horrible-life-trauma savior.
'Terrible Curse' Dexter Tries To Bargain w/ Jordan Chase - JC, with Lumen in his trunk, tries to 'eff with Dexter's head while Dexter, driving frantically, desperately tries to find and save Lumen before Chase kills her.
Dexter - 5.12 "The Big One" Season Finale
''Surprise'
In the season finale, Dexter's situation grows more desperate when he discovers that Lumen's been set up. Despite knowing he's being baited into a trap, Dexter risks everything to make sure he doesn't fall into the same mistake again. In the Barrel Girls case, Debra lets her personal feelings lead her instincts once she concludes that vigilantes are more than just a theory. Quinn finds himself in a troublesome situation in which only Dexter can help him.
Julia Stiles' TV Guide Interviews:
Dexter's 'Lumen,' - Julia Stiles on her character
"Lumen is the only person alive who sees Dexter's true self and accepts him. There's something oddly romantic about that, and also very intimate," Stiles tells TVGuide.com. "The reverse is true for Lumen. The experience she had before was so traumatic, and had an element of shame, where she couldn't go back and see her family. There's something very isolating about that, and the fact that Dexter knows about it and also embraces her is very sweet amidst all this weirdness."
'Life has been twisted, dark and miserable lately for Lumen Pierce (Julia Stiles), which makes her an absolutely perfect fit for Dexter this season. She's been raped, exploited and whipped so badly even Stiles felt the pain. As the actress known for her work in the Bourne movies says, "I forgot to take off my prosthetic slash marks one night and I suddenly went, 'Wait. What happened to me?'" The bigger question is what's happening to Lumen? Ever since Dexter (Michael C. Hall) rescued her from that serial killer's creepy lockup, Lumen's been a bit of a Dexter wannabe. She wants to kill the people who've brutalized her, which in turn puts Dexter in the odd position of trying to stop murders.
"Lumen walks that fine line that's so cool on this show, between doing the right thing and doing the right thing that's sorta the wrong thing," says Stiles, who adds she feels the thrall of the Dexter "community" after only a few guest appearances. "My friends who are crazy about the show are really crazy about the show," she laughs.
Here's what's really crazy: how much we've enjoyed watching Stiles play a pawn in a human-trafficking scheme. Which side wins? The actress isn't telling: "I think we'll see a dramatic ending." Dexter airs Sundays at 9/8c on Showtime. -Julia Stiles' TV Guide Interview
