Can you guess what is the biggest challenge America’s favorite psychopath killer is facing? No, it’s not the dearth of criminals that need to be chopped. Neither is it the paucity of loopholes in judicial system of America. It’s not even sexy Rita waiting under sheets for Dexter to return home every night which is distracting him.
Bingo! You hit the nail right on the head. It’s the fatherhood which is overwhelming the cop-cum-serial-killer. He is shown taking the pressure while he tries to juggle fatherhood with his extra-curricular activities.
“It’s tough, there’s lot of sleep deprivation,” said actor Michael C. Hall in an interview at Comic Con. “I think the idea was one thing, but the reality, being a suburban family man, maintaining an allegiance to his dark passenger proves to be pretty daunting and at times overwhelming.”
No worries. I am sure no matter how many nappies Dexter has to change, he will always find time to stalk and kill the choicest criminals. I am sure there is nothing that can keep Dexter away from blood for long.
The question that is haunting the minds of all Dexter fans is whether Dexter’s baby is carrying the dark passenger inside him or if he has any future as a serial killer. Michael C. Hall explained, “He’s yet to show any demonstrable signs to show that he wants to kill.” Honestly, one serial killer in the family can be handled but two vigilantes would be too much.
Dexter is not only fathering his own bundle of joy but Rita’s kids as well. Show runner Sara Colleton tells, “Astor has a little bit more attitude, and she isn’t quite as happy just to be a kid. She’s flexing her young-woman muscles, and it perplexes Dexter.” She further adds, “There’s a very hip, cool, older kid in the neighborhood whom she develops a very big crush on.”
Rita’s son Cody is still innocent enough to remain blissful with “a swimming pool next door and all the food that he can eat.” He literally says, ‘I want to be just like Dexter.’
Uh-ho now that can be dangerous for health.
