I did not know that! Kind of makes me want to rewatch them and watch their interactions, see if it feels more genuine knowing that really DO love each other.

I know right? What bugs me most is how out of the blue it came. They introduced that thread even before you know he was broken up with other lady cop girlfriend person. I wish they had stayed together. Would have allowed for another interesting character to develop, but instead they just stuck Angel and LaGuerta together. Meh. It seemed rushed. Hm, I wonder if maybe the other gf actress had issues and couldn't be on the show anymore? maybe that was why they pushed her out so suddenly? Anyone know?

I'm also with the "glad Rita's gone" folks... She was so clingy and needy and just UGH. I mean, you can't get the baby to take a nap so you call your husband in the middle of the day? Seriously?? I liked her in the first season but her character went quickly downhill for me.
I go back and forth on Deb... Sometimes I like her storylines, sometimes I think they are trite and obnoxious. I don't mind her so much I guess, but I wish she had some storylines that were independent of her relationships with men. Everything about her is either her and Dexter, her and her dad, or her and her string of boyfriends. Let's have a strong female character who is continually compromised by her weakness for men! Great idea!
I guess my only concern for season 5 is that now with Rita gone, Dexter will have 3 kids of his own. He had trouble maintaining the serial killer life when he had help with the kids, and now she's gone. And surely they can't kill off the kids... and Paul's gone and can't come back to take them... So... I don't know, it almost feels like they're going to have trouble writing Dexter's life believably. What's he going to do, hire a babysitter every time he needs to stalk someone and satiate the dark passenger? That's unrealistic. And he surely can't leave them alone at night. My guess is the show is going to show him evolving away from the need to kill, show him getting over his past trauma and becoming a kind of normal person. Which makes me sad, because I like how messed up he is!
Ok, enough of that
