I like how this topic is more about how to watch the show illegally than actual discussion.
Guess I'll start then. There will be spoilers (as they occur) from this point forward, obviously, though I generally don't watch the previews for next week's episodes.
...So yeah.
The premiere, like many have said, felt more like a conclusion to season 4 than an actual premiere. It's to be expected, but it was still a good episode. Extremely depressing to watch, especially with Rita's innocence highlighted in the flashbacks.
Which were great, by the way. I like how they emphasized (with a sad sort of hilarity) how awkward Dexter was before he met her, though the way he acted I find it really odd Rita even bothered calling him back. "You make me feel...good" seemed a little out-of-place though, considering she barely knew him.
Uh...Dexter's way of telling the kids what happened also somehow blended hilarity with sorrow. "I'm sorry for your loss", while wearing the Mickey Mouse hat, was great.
