    I thought this was a great episode and bringing a religous element to the show is interesting to me, not that Dexter will ever be a christian but interesting as to how he feels about it and his sons future.

    Awesome episode... welcome back Dexter!

    Edward James Olmos mentoring Colin Hanks looks to be brilliant this season!

    The religious element will be a fun twist to the series since it is something so foreign to Dexter.

    Mostly I'm just happy to have a heavyweight "Big bad" again!

    Edward James Olmos is so creepy in this, great start to the season. Also it warmed my heart that someone was kind to Dexter at High School

    It looked really promising. It's no secret that I wasn't exactly happy with season 5, but this season premiere makes me hopeful this season will be better. Olmos & Hanks were great in the few scenes they had, their kill looked really interesting and I can't wait to find out what their motive is. Looked like something "divine". Speaking of divine, that seems to be some kind of theme this season since Dexter dealt a lot with religion this episode and considering the promos there will be much more to that.
    And I'm really looking forward to seeing Mos Def in action after all the praise he got beforehand.

    It also was kind of funny. Dexter is often a bit awkward to watch when he is forced into social gatherings. The reunion was no different, but it also had a lot of quite funny moments. Nevertheless the show managed to keep its dark tone.

    Great start to the new season!

    After last season's predictability this season is a very well needed breath of air!  Going to be interesting how they mix Dexter's world with the implied religious aspect.

    Is it possible that Edward James Olmos is Colin Hanks.... Dark Passenger? Or someone like "dead Harry" for Dexter? I've got this strange feeling... :)))

    Interesting thought, don't think I saw Olmos touch anything. But I doubt it. The press release back when he was casted said Olmos will play a brilliant, charismatic professor of religious studies.

    Solid Start to this season. I loved how Dexter got the opportunity to lure his victim into his trap. lol
    And I'm intrigued how EJO and Con Hank's characters will play into the story.

    This was my first thought after watching the episode last week ;)

    comparing to typical Dexter episodes - poor.
    in general - OK
    what happened with Dexter's father? was that a joke? him advising Dexter to chill out? no dark passenger this episode. just a serial killer looking for his victims.
    however there is huge possibility that the next episodes will be great (the whole religious case is kind of interesting)

    My thoughts which I also wrote in the forum:

    Really enjoyed the episode! (This is the first time I watched it when it aired!)

    What I like about the episode was the way we get into everything. The writers have been pretty hands off with allowing Dexter to more fully explore his identity via really thinking about his own beliefs. We have had brief swipes with "Harry" in which so far "Harry" has been accepting and forgiving of Dexter, but this is what keeps Dexter from having to ask himself, "why?"

    I think it will be an interesting season to see both the good and the bad of spirituality and how Dexter may try to grapple with his own existential viewpoint, as he realizes that it never has really surficed, because he has longed himself for some sense of normalcy and his son is the meal ticket to finding out whom he, himself is.

    Season 5's ending with Harrison's birthday tied back to season one with Aster's birthday party and it is this LIE Dexter tells himself, "Wishes are only for kids" is going to be the thing he comes to realize, because he does...this is why he was with Rita and why Deb was with Lundy --they were the 'perfect' parents that both Dexter and Deb needed, but never had, in order to move on from their childhoods..So to now start the episode off with Quinn trying to purpose (which thinking about the Ice truck Killer and what Deb knows now might not go so well--especially since TIME doesn't seem to be on their side) and that Dexter's first victim was a person he knew in high school kind of puts Dexter at a point in time where he might have emotionally never evolved and now he can...

    They writers keep having the characters use the phrase, "Tic-Toc" and it just makes me think that somewhere down the road "time" (or reality might change --alternate reality) might become something really important...we might get to see another sanario, especially thinking about the name of the first book the series is based, "Darkly DREAMING Dexter" (dreams like wishes are sometimes reflective not only to our struggles, but our HOPES)

    "Red Moon", for instance, is one part of a continues text game called "Time and Magik"...some other parts of the game, like "Time Lords" has the modern hero time travel to different eras...

    (Wishes are hopes to be able to change)

    Red moons are said to sometimes to be seen when there is an eclipse. The moon itself has established much mythology in many cultures through out history in which "change of behavior" or "change in time" is usually associated and thus is a symbol of hidden identities and secret truths...which plays nicely on Dexter himself.

    I think this is the season to "test" everything Dexter has been through and explore faith in it's most basic meaning, "belief" ---As Batista said, "It's a feeling." --what we feel is belief--and I am sure this season is going present the controversy in that...the idea that life might be about fighting for it, especially when there are others who believe in taking life away.

    Great thought! That would be a great idea, especially if the boy is his son! --simultamiously the viewers would be forced to ask themselves more specifically about Harry (a delusion, the spirit of, ect ---any way you slice it though --Harry is still an extension of Dexter---and "life extension" and/or immortality and transformation is the hallmark of most Theologies and/or some philosophies - father, son, and holy ghost = eternal time)

    Finally got around to it. This episode rocked. I had completly forgotten how cool this show is. Think Edward James Olmos and Colin Hanks is going to be really good, and the religious aspect really interesting

    This was a solid start to the new season.  Except for Quinn's impending attempt to marry Deb, I can't say there was anything I disliked about the premiere or the storylines it's setting up.

     - I like Batista's sister but she's perky and upbeat.  Therefore, I fully expect her to witness something gruesome before the end of the season.  That should curb the bubbly personality a bit.

      - LaGuerta is up to her old conniving, ladder-climbing self, like she was at the beginning of the series.  This is a good thing.

     - Olmos and Hanks already make my skin crawl so they're doing a good job.

     - I was very surprised to see Kristin Miller from Comedy Central's short-lived "That's My Bush."  She still looks fantastic.
