Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

[SwedishHeat]

I figured she was covering for Mathews but I guess we'll see.

That was my instinct, but from the way she was talking on the phone, it almost sounded like she owed that person the favor.

With Matthews, she's squared up with him, more or less, she just blackmailed him. And if it WAS Matthews, LaGuerta would've been much more smug with him on the phone, because she's a beeeyotch. I think it's a new character we haven't seen yet, like her brother or something.

 

[Giant Chicken]

My first thoughts were Mathews as well..

I think it would be more interesting if it were Quinn though.

 

[Dark Passenger]

I don't think Batista was out of character at all. They've made a point to show he's an over-protective brother....especially when Quinn got KTFO.

Yeah, but a gun? Batista would never have done that in previous seasons. He's too honest of a cop. IDK what they're doing this year with Batista. The weed and threatening someone with a gun is so out of his previous character traits.

I still think showing the gun was a bit much, and the guy is a computer nerd! the least sort of person Angel should be weary about.

Yeah. Unless he wants his sister to be a lesbian, there's no better book cover guy then a computer nerd.

Dex definably is sloppy lately with being careful, notice when dex was goggling the priest on his computer and that tech guy walked in, normally dex would close his laptop or minimize the window but no!, he just left it open for anyone to see! ..good thing it wasn't deb who walked in.

- Bathroom kill in episode 1.

- Dexter staying in the room next to Cole Harmon. Cole disappearing and no one connects the dots to Dexter staying next to him?

- Dexter and Boyd Fowler being in the hospital together. The medics didn't check their IDs and check them into the hospital? There's no record?

- Jordan Chase's cell records would show an incoming call from Dexter moments before he disappeared (when Chase was killed).

- Quinn. He knows Dexter killed Liddy. He has to or he is one big dummy.

- Emily Birch's crime scene. Dexter was walking and flopping around the whole scene. Phone records between Lumen and Emily, and Lumen and Dexter.

- The red car that Dexter crashes at Camp Jordan. He stole it from the lot by Liddy's crime scene and smashed it at Camp Jordan, which would be crawling with cops in an hour (according to Deb). There's no link to Liddy's crime scene, Camp Jordan, and the car?

- Using his real name to call county records and look up Eugene Greer property holdings to find Camp Jordan.

-Lumen. I can't believe Deb didn't figure out she was #13 and Dexter was helping her. She was staring it right in the face. Dexter did say his sister has a blind spot when it comes to him, but for real?

That is all ridiculousness.

Dex was way more reckless in season 5. Man did he leave a lot of loose ends there. The worst by far. I'm probably forgetting a bunch also.

-Doesn't Quinn still have the pictures of Dexter and Lumen on the boat?

Ya definitely worse in S5 your right, I can't recall hmm? did liddy give it to him or just show him the photo?

So much for recharged,refocused!

Yeah that sounds good too. I guess we will find out.

Lumen and Dexter found them in Quinn's nightstand. Dexter said to put them back or he'll know they were there. He must still have them.

Ah yes, well they have two more seasons to go after this one so it would be utter ridiculous if they never tie up that loose end, but ideally it should have been done this season.

On another note, further evidence that Travis has a slit personality( I don't think it needs further proof at this stage but whateverz!), his sis described him as a great artist, all the paintings we have seen being painted by Gellar are actually done by Travis.

My sister pointed that out to me! It adds up.

 

[Droog Alex]

Na, going by the last episode I'm pretty confident Gellar is imaginary,and that it was Travis killing all along.

The girl Travis released claimed to hear 2 voices. I'm more convinced that Travis manifests Geller as a split personality. The girl hears Travis speaking to himself, Changing his voice when he is Geller.

Dexter never saw Geller, he goes upstairs because Travis looked there.

Red herrings. There is only Travis.

BINGO!!!!!!!!!

 

[Droog Alex]

Just saw the episode tonight... LOVED IT!

 

[Ash Housewares]

Was better than last weeks episode. Anyone else think Colin Hanks's acting is really terrible in this?

 

[Kamandi]

I agree Colin Hanks is not a strong actor. Olmos is carrying him.

 

[Ash Housewares]

He was awesome as Odama in BSG but he's not really been given much to work with here. Very underwhelming villains IMO.

 

[noisetrigger]

I am sure it's Matthews that Laguerta is covering for. I mean her career is on the line after the recent presentation and I guess Matthews is using her career as leverage to force her to make the dead pro case go away.

I mean Laguerta has always only been eyeing the top position and now that she is so near the top, she will not let her career go to waste so easily.

That will also explain why she is so hard on Debra. Because Debra is Matthew's choice and she cant control her like how she could control Batista.

I agree man. Olmos is a fantastic actor and he is very very underwhelming here.

I think we are all pretty much on the same page here. I'd hate to think that the most shocking part of the season was the one episode where the Ice Truck Killer came back and vanished. That would be a letdown. I almost think that with the way they've handled this Doomsday Killer story, it's gotta end where the issue with the killer(s) isn't the big shock - maybe somebody actually sees Dexter, maybe Deb finally sees him or Quinn or etc. Gotta be a bigger reveal and possible cliff-hanger, it's just gotta be. To me, the killer ending would've been for Brian to be in the last episode and have him play a pivotal role in trying to steer Dexter in the path of darkness and have Harry fighting to turn him to light.

I think there has to be a bigger twist here though, I think they are trying to get the fans caught up in the issue of Gellar being real or not as a diversion. At least I'm hoping that, because it seems to be building up to anti-climatic either way as far as him being real or not.

As for the 2 more seasons debate, to me, it's a matter of the super long wait too. There is way too much time between seasons and to me, that really contributes to the frustration. I think they may have also forgotten how to really stress Dexter's human attachments with Rita being gone and how they've dropped the ball with the Dexter/Debra bond. His relationship with Harrison really seems to be an afterthought the majority of the time.

i think dexter is trying to help travis, he realises that gellar is imaginary and helps travis by making him believe that he is gonna kill gellar, how he does that will be interesting

 

[Darklord Dave]

Damn it, since it was mentioned on here that Geller might not be real I've been looking for those clues. Travis being chained up could easily be a red herring and everything points to a split personality. But it does make it a bit more interesting this way.
