I didn't like it in the same way as the other episodes this season, but I still really enjoyed it. I liked the way some of the stories resolved themselves, or evolved into something else. I really enjoyed the relationship between Dexter and the Trinity Killer, with Dexter getting in with him and his group, how he has started to build a "friendship" with him while still investigating him and taunting him with his sister's ashes. I think that is a great twist on the usual "Dexter gets close to another killer" story that they've used in past seasons, and am looking forward to seeing how they develop it in the future.
While certain moments of the Dexter/Rita story were a bit annoying, I did like it overall, especially with the way that it ended.
Also, I enjoyed the whole thing with Deb, her trying to get them to punish that one woman she thought killed Lundy, and is now going after the Trinity Killer. I thought that the scene between Deb and that other woman was very well done.
Not the best episode this season, but still very good. 4 1/2 stars?
Hurley (listening to a radio transmission): You hear how clear that is? That's gotta be close, right?
Sayid: Radio waves at this frequency bounce off the ionosphere. They can travel thousands of miles. It could be coming from anywhere.
Hurley: Or any time... Just kidding, dude.
Ben: I was told a lot of things, too, that I was chosen, that I was special. I end up with a tumor on my spine and my daughter's blood all over my hands.
Locke: I'm sorry those things happened to you, Ben.
Ben: Those things had to happen to me. That was my destiny. But you'll understand soon enough that there are consequences to being chosen, because destiny, John, is a fickle bitch.
Sayid (about Ben): Forgive me, but the day I start trusting him is the day I would've sold my soul.
