Dexter Franchise - Tonight's the night

I want to relitigate this issue with Praters serial killer goon room, and a wider issue with the shows writing in general. I did err in rushing to criticise how Prater knew about Trinity, but in the universe Trinity is still considered to be alive. Only Jonah, Deb, Isaac Sirko and Harrison know Trinity is dead, yet Prater speaks of him in the past tense.



This tour was structured entirely for Dexter, not Red, which would indicate Prater knows who he is, but I think the writers are just soggy for Dexter and can't get past it. Brian Moser gets an ironic "if only he wasn't alone he wouldn't have killed himself" wink wink nudge nudge. The blood slides are casually passed off as being acquired from an FBI agent with a gambling addiction. No mention of Doakes and seemingly no plaque.

Also can we agree that this little bearded thumb Tyrion being a swanky billionaire Entrepeneur is the most unbelievable horseshit of this entire franchise? Peter Dinklage is probably the richest dwarf on the planet and he's worth 20 million tops, earned entirely from playing a fucking dwarf. Vern Troyer and Wee Man probably earned a few mill, as would Hasbulla, but you see my point.

I just wish that they lampshaded it with a throwaway line of "after I turned 18, I discovered a trust fund set aside by my biological parents, which I invested and doubled before I was 20. I kept snowballing it from there". You'll notice there was never any mention of Prater's dwarfism, or at least not explicitly. Closest I can recall it coming up was when Dex asked Prater why he isn't a serial killer if he loves them so much, as Dinklage's body language seemed so be saying "because I'm a fucking midget, you retard". But that was just my interpretation, and as you can see by my previous comments here, my interpretations have been wrong plenty.

That's something I've been really annoyed by with Dinklage since Game of Thrones. He's been stamping his tiny little feet that he doesn't want to be the 'most famous dwarf actor', he wants to just be an actor, so all his rolls since have been very conspicuous in pretending he isn't like 3 feet tall. I did find it funny how in Avengers he played a space dwarf, but he was like 12 feet tall. But, he was the sole survivor, so he denied other dwarf actors in having gigs, yet again.
