On its own, Season 5 was pretty good. It's just that it followed on the heels of Season 4, and there was no way it could compete with how awesome the Trinity Killer arc was!

Trinity killer season was the BEST, hands down.

No, it was awful becuase of a bland main story, too much focus on side characters' disconnected plotlines, zero followup on the storyline or consequences from the storyline of the previous season, plotlines that went nowhere, repeated use of cheap tactics for tension, easy and coincidental resolutions to episodes, and a forced love intrerest for Dexter inappropriately soon after Rita's death.
It didn't suck because it came after a great season. It sucked because it sucked.
I was reading trough most of this post thinking you were talking about season 4 and i was like "Whhhaaaaaaaaaaaattt???!"

I am watching Season 5 again with the Wife, and I think it's much better the second time round. It's still the weakest season though, but I will take that over most of the crap that is on TV.
I found that with season 3, enjoyed it more the second time watching it.
For me i'd rate them in this order..
#1 Season 4
#2 Season 2
#3 Season 1
#4 Season 3
#5 Season 5

Season 5 had a lot not going for it, but I loved The Group, and thought Chase was a fantastic character. If we could have gotten more time for them and less for Batista and Laguerta's relationship, I'd have been thrilled.
Lumen's character grew on me, since her first few episodes were really making me question her point.
And the scene where Dexter beats on Astor's friend's mom's boyfriend (that's a lot of apostrophes) is one of my favorite scenes in the show's run. I don't know why. Maybe because we've seen so many bad guys get killed, and seeing one just get a good old fashioned beat down is so satisfying.

Agreed!! I love Dexter's "hands on" anatomy lesson!
Yup pretty badass ..I always thought he would do something similar to Paul in Season 1 the first time i watched the show.
