John Lithgow is back in black in 'Dexter'

Even though I just got done giving Dexter's webisodes a tongue lashing, I'm still head-over-heels for the Showtime program. It's my new Lost. I can't get enough of it. Sure, there are speed bumps here and there (bad acting, some terrible subplots), but it engages me every time I watch it. Goosebumps abound! And the writing can't be beat. Season four is no exception, with the entrance of seasoned actor John Lithgow, guest starring as the Trinity Killer, a psychopathic serial killer who murders in threes. I must say, it's great to see Lithgow playing the bad guy again (even though we have to endure his 60-plus-year-old bare bottom in the first episode). He was everybody's least favorite dad in Footloose, the demented psychiatrist in Raising Cain, and a mountain climber's worst nightmare in Cliffhanger. Now, he's a twisted murderer—possibly the best bad guy role of his career. I predict an Emmy nod for this role at some point.
