Dexter Season 3
Yeah, not a disappointing episode in the lot. Maybe Dexter should come to the Heroes universe. He could teach both Sylar and HRG a thing or two.

A great episode in a great season.
Every episode so far was just enjoyable. The writers for Dexter seem to know what they are doing.
My only complaint might be: His final confrontations with both Miguel and the Skinner were too short. But maybe the writers did the right thing here. The real emotional impact of the relationships have been done before. And there was not much important about the Skinner to say - he was just a catalyst for Dexter becoming aware of his feelings for his son and his relationship with Rita.
The only thing that needed to be said to the Skinner was: "You know what, I totally know what your're doing. But do you? Do you accept that you're just a killer doing it because he needs to? I am. Now die, sucker."
The important scene was the scene with his imaginary conversation with his dad.

I think you've got a point. It would be great to see how Dexter handles a situation where his sense of control has bee taken away. It's been challenged before, but not actually stripped from him for any meaningful duration. Whereas fictional heroes seem to be constantly reacting to threats, Dexter is traditionally proactive, taking of problems before they develop into full-blown crises.
I liked the latest episode, but I felt the confrontation with The Skinner was a bit anti-climactic.
But that's just a quibble. Overall, high marks!
