Hey Dan, Yeah, it is interesting. I still think that both of your readings of Dexter and Walt are very wrong, but I think it punches up just how much interpolation must be done by the viewer to make sense of the story. We see roughly the same evidence, but draw different conclusions, conclusions that I think might be indeterminate to the evidence. For example, I think an "inborn sense of morality" is antithetical to the spirit of the show (and Pirsig's philosophy for that matter), but it's a sense of the whole, not a little fact lying around that gives me that sense. And vice versa on your side of it. And for Walt, I don't think there's anything psychopathic about inadequacy or anger, nor do I think he was a "bad guy" waiting to happen. I think the extraordinary pressures of the situation, combined with the mounting consequences and demands of each successive choice, creates his course of evolution. But, there's still no evidential silver bullet.
