I STOPPED WATCHING DEXTER AFTER SHE DIED. So pissed off at the writer's for KILLING her character. I can understand that to make the show move forward they needed to do something drastic in Dex's personal life...this, IMO, is too much. The show went completely downhill after Rita's departure. And not only that, but it makes you look at Dexter like he's a complete idiot, not just a man who can't help himself, since her death is ultimately his fault (he needed to LEARN from the Trinity killer instead of killing him early on like he should have....every time he doesn't listen to Harry about a suspect something bad happens) He had several occasions where he could have either killed or told someone at the station about Trinity, yet he did not. To me, the blame for Rita's death get placed squarely on the shoulders of Dexter, something that makes me HATE his character. Not only that, Rita was the piece of Dex that kept him human....so many unanswered questions by killing her off too....would she have found out the truth? How was she going to react? Would she leave Dex? (what I thought would happen). IMO without Rita's Yin to Dexter's Yang the show has a very short shelf life. I feel like the writer's were just trying to get shock and awe value by doing this...and I know many fans hated the Rita character, thinking she held Dex back, but IMO they should have and could have thought of the people who loved her character, and found a much better way of moving her out of the picture. After Season 4 I lost all respect for Dexter and no longer care about him or the kids. If you think about it....Rita is dead because Dex had to confront that driver and the cops who were snooping around his car after he had the hit and run. He lost his cool in such a mundane situation, which, in the end, ends up killing his wife. I think the circumstances surrounding her death could have been written so much better. I thought that the season 4 ender was definitely written as a dream too. I told myself...there's NO WAY the writers would do that to her. Lost all respect for the entire show. Miss ya Rita. I WILL NEVER WATCH DEXTER AGAIN.
