With the vampire craze still in full swing, there are plenty of blood-hungry characters in pop-culture, but for me, superpowers aside, none of them are a match for Dexter.

Sure, Dexter’s not a vampire but his thirst for blood is no less vital to his existence. Such is the life for a serial killer.

This preview doesn’t contain any majorly episode-ruining spoilers, however if you’re not caught up on Season 4 yet (particularly the last episode of last season), stop reading now (and go watch Season 4 because it’s amazing).

Moving on, Season 5 looks to be pretty fantastic as Dexter deals with the grief from losing Rita and the guilt associated with his involvement in her death. Below is Showtime’s description for the season premiere and further down are a couple of clips from the episode. Fans of Michael C. Hall during his Six Feet Under days will appreciate the scene that has Dexter pondering over funeral home directors. There's also a video from Comic Con of fans speculating over the new season.

“In the aftermath of last season’s chilling finale, Rita’s death has left Dexter feeling responsible, possibly even…guilty. Unable to deal with the trauma, Dexter makes a drastic decision that will impact everyone around him. Quinn stirs up trouble at the station when he notes that Rita’s murder, which is being pinned on the Trinity Killer, doesn’t fit his normal murder profile. Things get even more heated when Quinn suggests to LaGuerta that they look at the husband: Dexter Morgan. Meanwhile, Quinn offers Debra much needed support, causing her to see Quinn in a new light.
