In just a few minutes here on the east coast, the long awaited season finale of Dexter's fourth season arrives. This show, already amazing, has been absolutely brilliant this year with Dexter's interest in 39-year serial killer Trinity, played to perfection by John Lithgow. So, in a show full of twists and turns, what can we expect? My guesses:

- Dexter will kill Trinity.

- Dexter will kill Trinity, but in such a way as to set things up for an uncomfortable 5th season such as, say, stabbing him to death on the table during the morning meeting at the precinct.

- Dexter will try to kill Trinity and then discover, to his shock, that Trinity is, in reality, former president Warren G. Harding.

- Dexter will try to kill Trinity and fail, only to have

OK, these are just cool.

I was wandering around the Showtime store — just yesterday I broke down and ordered my first premium cable channel, Showtime, because I don't watch a lot of TV but 3 of my favorite shows are there and the DVDs were getting expensive — and because Bon Jovi's documentary "When We Were Beautiful" is airing there first on Oct. 24 and Teres has been hinting strongly, and by hinting I mean the sort of gentle encouragement that would be prohibited by the Geneva Conventions — and I checked out the Dexter section. Lots of shirts, DVDs, expensive Decter-themed jewelry, the strangely popular bobble heads… and these.

A set of four coasters, complete with blood drops, stored in Dexter's iconic slide tray. Tell me the thought of serving drinks on top of a serial killer's souvenir blood doesn't cheer you right up!

They ain't cheap — $44.99 — but they are seriously cool. They're also evidence, so watch it.

I posted a review of Jeff Lindsey's latest Dexter book "Dexter by Design" and the new Dexter iPhone game here, by the way.
