Goodbye Dexter! A Libertarian (?) Serial Killer Sails Off Into the Gulf – and a Pre-Halloween Invite

For some reason characters named “Dexter” seem to be hot but problematic (think C.K. Dexter Haven in The Philadelphia Story).

Tonight is the series finale of the 8 season long show about a serial killer who practices the Non-Aggression Principle through butchery Dexter (dextrous?) Morgan (morgue in?).  It’s funny that the kind of (slow burn) hottie who plays Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) played the owner of a Morgue Inn (his TV family ran and owned and lived adjacent to a funeral home) in his previous premium channel hit Six Feet Under.

Dexter you see was trained by his policeman father to only kill other serial killers.  He’s never I suspect fit a real forensic psychiatrist profile of a serial killer.  He has a relationship with the wraith of his father, his living sister, a current girl friend, a murdered (by someone else) wife, and their son, all of whom he loves, misses, feels guilt towards, and worries about.  He does have a compulsion to brutal butchery, which he has educated to be used against only other, less ethical, serial killers.  Tonight he faces off against yet another one of those in a final showdown.

Interestingly, recent studies show that both highly successful people, and libertarians, rank very slightly higher on the “sociopathy” scale (libertarians only by a smidge) than the average person.  (I rank a smidge higher than even the average libertarian on Jonathan Haidt’s online test.  So you are welcome to come over after dark and watch the final episode of Dexter with me — it will be your last, after all.)
