I like to think he does care about the people whose murders he tries to solves. Rewatching season 2 and he seemed dead set on figuring out the identity of the first Jane Doe so she wouldn't have an anonymous burial.

That was the point. Wallace knew something the other boys didn't, showing the viewer that he's a bright young'un

On the drive home, I had a random thought. Prop Joe infuriated me during season 5. He went out of his way to become disposable, how did he not see that? The guy was the only connect to a consistent flow of narcotics and after all those seasons, he decided to give it up to some young punk. I don't get it.

Slim knew his strengths and politicking wasn't it. He's like Wee-Bay and Chris, the general who oversaw the army.

Chris has his family that he seemed to enjoy being around. He was worried that Omar would go after them. He's a stone cold killer, but not completely dead inside.

Brother Mouzone and Wee-Bey get dropped on by Omar, too. No shame in that.

I think a lot of those "real" stories boil down to all of them being in the wrong zipcode, like the Junebug murders.

To be fair, Carcetti doesn't murder people on a whim.

There are bits of Stalinism as well. He's the big brother on the streets, always watching. Complete with near mythical secret police in Snoop and Chris. If you cross him, he'll literally make you disappear. Since it's folks from the wrong zip code, it's like you never existed at all.

It seems to me more like Slim, Wee-Bay, Chris all knew what they were doing was some evil poo poo and accepted it as a job. They are killers and they make no qualms about it.

Snoop, who may be a part of the newer generation, didn't see it as such. She doesn't empathize like the others do. She doesn't see a problem with killing. Hell, if given the word, she would probably try to murder Clay Davis. She wouldn't see the difference in murder and assassination.

Remember that scene when she and Chris were hiding out from Omar? Chris is distraught, worried about his family. Snoop didn't understand why Chris was so upset and mentioned that they should bring gifts to his kids. Chris had to explain why he couldn't see his family.

Edit: also, Chris beat Bug's dad to death, not Dukie's

Dexter sucks but season 4 is amazing. I recommend watching that season alone. John Lithgow is amazing.
