Belated comment here -- I just finished watching the season finale, and am now going back through all your excellent commentaries. This one in particular knocked me out; I *love* your insights in the paragraph about Harry's role in setting all three of them--Dexter, Deb, and Brian--on their various courses. Thanks so much for writing up and posting your thoughts (and for tagging the entries so that I could track them down--god, LJ's lack of a decent search function makes me want to throw things).
