Trivia
The Ice Truck Killer is identified as Deb's boyfriend, Rudy. The name Rudy (short for Rudolph) means "Wolf." Also, when he is replying to Dexter's Craigslist ad, he uses the mouse with his left hand, perhaps indicating he is left-handed. The Latin term for left-handed is Sinister, and is also the opposite of Dexter. This opposition is also shown by the Ice Truck Killer in that he leaves his corpses blood free, whereas Dexter prefers blood. See more »Goofs
When Rudy reads Dexter's craigslist ad the e-mail to respond to is frozenbarbie@hotmail.web, but he replies to frozenbarbie@hotmail.com. See more »Quotes

I am re-watching Dexter after watching all five seasons recently and am now waiting for the sixth to start. I'll even subscribe to Showtime so that I don't have to miss an episode of the new season. I must say that I barely thought of Michael C. Hall as handsome or a better than average actor when I was watching "Six Feet Under," but on this show he is throughly present and I am blissfully aware he's unusually cute/handsome.
I find myself addicted to this show and would really love it if they had him do more shirt off/sex scenes....(I also love that kill shirt he wears) anyway, back to the episode. Wow, the writing's great, the acting's great. I was riveted all the way through. Really loved seeing "Ghosts" Tony Goldwyn in the epi, he did a fantastic job as the psychiatrist.
I really do love anytime Dexter has a breakthrough toward becoming more of an emotional human being and learning to understand and perhaps control his "dark passenger.' For me his humor balances out all the gore and blood. I just hope they can keep the premise from getting monotonous.
