I'm taking Dexter from the end of season two, just for reference. So this is going to reflect that and I'll essay again when he updates after season 3 is finished
( Read more... )
I just woke up so this may not be coherent but I'll try |D
1) It is very important, yes. Something I didn't mention here because we haven't worked out the details yet is that Biz and I are discussing some kind of thing where the Director gives him actual NPC people to kill offscreen every now and then (obviously killers though), so that he is actually properly killing people. I want to watch season two again to make sure he actually needs that though, since the whole season is about him getting over his addiction. But being given people to kill isn't the same as stalking them himself, and I think he's going to want to do that as well. Either way, he's going to know about the moogles and coming back to life before he kills anyone, and he's going to be prepared for it. It's about power, and even though it's not quite as ultimate a power as he was exercising before, there is still something in the ritual of it, taking someone out of their life and making them helpless like that.
2) He researches into peoples' pasts before they came to Miami if he thinks they comitted their crimes somewhere else under a different name or whatever, like the guy who kept hitting people in his car. So once he realises that the people here are people from fiction, that's where their pasts are, and though they're fictional in this world they're real to those people. If he thinks they've been murdering people in camp, then he'll look for evidence in camp. If the canon is ambiguous on the matter, then he'll find another way to confirm it or won't go after them. I think he probably will tend towards people who've actually killed people in camp since he can verify them by hand, but it's seeming hard enough to find people he could and would theoretically kill even without that restriction.
Oh, definitely. I wouldn't dream of having him kill someone's character without working with them every step of the way to make sure they're totally comfortable with how it happens. There's always creative solutions, this was just a very general idea of how I think it might work.
