YES! More Jack Huston...he plays the role so creepily, its amazing to watch every Sunday
dexter is a great show but this season was a little bit of track if they had a steady showrunner instead of changing them every season it could be the best show out there it need continuity
Hopefully Scott does a good job but he has been there a while so I think he probably will.
And isn't The Wedding Band BAG's third series in the last couple of year? The fact that he is always available shows how much his roles suck .
Sad to hear Chip has left DEXTER but since Scott has been there almost since the start I have faith that the show will continue to thrive.
