"Dexter's" panel at Comic-Con was as lively (sorry) as usual, and stars Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter shared some major scoop about Season 7 -- with a little help from their new guest star Yvonne Strahovski ("Chuck").
"New" Big Bad: Another Trinity killer is on the loose! Not exactly. In Season 7, Dexter is stalking a killer who "ritually murders on New Year's Eve." Whatever happened to resolutions like joining the gym?
A Little Help From a Friend: Strahovski is guesting as Hannah McKay, "a woman of mystery with a dark past," explained the beautiful Aussie actress explained. "She meets Dexter and helps him with an investigation in an old murder mystery" -- presumably the NYE killer. "She's not working with the police," Strahovski clarified to Zap2it at a Showtime party following the panel. "This is why the role was so enticing to me. The last five years I've played a CIA agent on 'Chuck -- it's the complete opposite."
No Seconds Wasted: Season 7 picks up immediately from last year's shocking finale: Deb discovering her brother murdering Travis (Colin Hanks). Dexter tries to justify it as an act of self-defense, but considering Travis is "wrapped in plastic on an altar," he has some splaining to do to his incredulous sister.
Incest Is Best: [Why!!!!!!] Sorry, it doesn't look like "Dexter" producers have any plans to course-correct the show's new controversial storyline: Deb realizing she has romantic feelings for Dexter. "There was certainly a fascination that I thought Deb had with Dexter, so it didn't feel like it was so bizarre to play that last season," Carpenter reasoned, before adding, "I think him stabbing somebody trumps those thoughts." [I hope so].
Daddy Dearest: Dexter's son, Harrison, is still "in the picture" this season, Hall confirmed. (And "very cute," Carpenter piped in.) Being a serial killer parent to a growing boy "becomes a dicier proposition every day," said Hall. "As someone who is also Harrison's guardian, Deb now has a sense of what she's dealing with her brother that changes things as well. He has someone encouraging him to face what he is trying to pull off as a parent.
"Dexter's powers of denial are pretty strong, but he would be hard pressed to really argue that being a serial killer is an ideal hobby for a parent," Hall concluded drily.
"Dexter" returns Sunday, Sept. 30 on Showtime.

so unrealistic but idec
I know I may be stretching but I feel like this is an insult to adoptive families out there that believe adopted children and siblings are REAL siblings.
Also, what is going to happen with that creepy computer programmer guy from last season? Is he just going to disappear, or become the new threat to Dexter?
:\ I've been wondering what Jen thought of that whole thing for a while now...doesn't really sound like she's completely hft, to me. I just don't at all buy that the writers have been planning this for ages; it just feels totally pulled out of their asses. I wouldn't mind the pseudo-incest--hell, I probably wouldn't even mind real incest--if it felt logical and in keeping w/ the characters' personalities, but it just doesn't. Alas.
Harrison is cute as fuck, though. One of the few TV children I don't hate. But...ritually murders on New Year's? How long is this season gonna span??
I hope to see some videos from the panel later
