Funny how arthur turned out to be fearless once on the table. He always wanted it all to end he manipulated dexter so in a way dexter never managed to do anything to him. Even the pain was something trinity liked to feel before his kills.
OMG! I was holding the remote control, adjusting the sound levels when this scene took off. I literally threw it up in the air I was so surprised, lmao! I laughed for days after. What great acting.
@jimmy2k4o YES!!! actually thats a wicked good call! and the scene where that car dealer keeps lying and dexter has this maniacal laugh, he woulda been perfect
his face when he says "i should have fucking killed you when i had the chance" was terrifying! Michael C. Hall, that golden globe you won was well deserved. :)
I've made an RE-ENACTMENT of this scene! Watch it out guys, it's VERY GOOD too! If you don't like it I swear I'll be your slave :) Subscribe too because I'm gonna make more! :D
Oh, I'm dying for the season 5 premiere! Dexter can't exactly get "revenge" now, can he? How does he handle what Arthur did to Rita? And did Arthur tell Rita the whole story about Dexter? So many questions.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He dosnt care about rita cuz he dosnt have any feelings for anyyone. He just had rita for a discise. He will probabley put harrison up for adoption and the kids will go to his grandmother. Remember he never actualy cared about rita
He actually discovered his real feelings for Rita In season 4... he was catching feelings for her in some sort of way. she was the only one to bring him at peace.
and so i'm really trying to think --- is dexter the more powerful monster? They're both gruesome, true, but in this scene, and in later ones, dexter always proves himself to be the physical superior to arthur mitchell.
its kinda like arthur was hyped up throughout the entire series to be this frightening age-old serial killer that would be a good match for Dexter, and it would keep dexter on his toes, but when they square off, dexter just beats the crap out of him with ease, ie hitting him on the head with a shovel, garroting him with a belt, etc.
and when they square off arthur looks like a wimp.
it wasnt a physical challenge for dexter it was all mental...dexter wanted to learn from him...plus he couldnt just kill him so easily..arthurs whole family knew who "kyle" was...knew what he looked like.
You know thats a good question really, WE NEVER really see them square off when you think of it. Not saying Dexter would lose, but he is more tactical as while Arthur is more brute force
The look of fear in Arthur's eyes makes me quiver with joy every time I see it. I'm going to savour every second when Dexter finally cuts that cunt up.
@reduxplus John Lithgow said the same thing in the interview. He was saying that it was really the first time you see Trinity actually terrified, but at the same time, he looks into Dexter's eyes and instantly recognizes that similarity between them.
@reduxplus i agree completely...by chance could you post the vid of Dexter in jail in the last episode of s4? I think i almost like him saying "I have to kill him!" more than "I should have fucking killed you when i had the chance!" i can't find it anywhere though.
The oddest part about this scene is how Dexter just leaves after this, and no one cares, as if the family is somehow safe now, and no one cares that "Kyle" is a sociopath.
I feel like I would do the same thing if I would witness a father choking his own son(who's a real sociopath?). I don't mean kill him, but scare the hell out of him.
Honestly, I wouldn't be able to do so since I'm not as strong as Dexter is, but I would try.
And it's really hard to care about anything after having such poverful shoking panic attack like Trintty's family had in that moment. So I see no "flaws" in charackters and they feel very real to me.
I don't think he left because "The Family was safe now" It was more he let the Dark Passenger take control of him that split moment. And come on, Do you really think he would have killed him in front of his traumatized family? Remember, he uses them as shields, even if it means being behind two, One in which he called a cunt, and the other he tossed to the floor.
Yes, it's funny because he's like the same character as in Footloose, only this time he's a serial killer and wife beater (or perhaps he was before also?).
Haha, I almost shit my pants when I saw this seen. When you piss Dex off, you'd best be prepared for a brutal death (like how he strangled the guy who was stalking his kids in a earlier season).
Looks like Arthur has something else, other then getting caught by the feds, to worry about now.
I was literally shaking when the whole dinner started to get awkward..and then from there on...HOLY FUCKING SHIT......this show deserves fucking oscars and golden globes....this is so fucking deep...deeper than six feet under...michael C. hall has the perfect acting skills and charisma to act on the big screen and win hundreds of oscars..cuz I'd give him every fucking oscar on the planet if I could...rita's a cunt, she's a hot bitch..but an annoying cunt..kill her
and it sets up really well for season 5..because im sure his sister and his whole department will ask him "does anyone hate?" "what did you do to piss off your wife's killer?"
in a way, i want his hot sister to discover his other side and for him to admit it, do that they can keep it under the table to get even more heat on dexter but the other part of me wants dexter to not be discovered because it would jeopardize his role as a father and awesome criminal hunter
i love this scene, but in my opinion it sounds better in german because he sounds more angry :)
