Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

[ChaserFan]

I wouldn't expect Deb to be tech savvy anyways, but Matsuko (spelling?) should've known that. Is anyone else expecting the intern guy to catch a beating from Angel??

I'm wondering where they are going with Quinn and Batista. At first I was wondering if they were setting up a buddy cop thing that could be spun off from Dexter later on. Now it seems more like one of these guys will not survive the season.

They are making Angel look like a schmuck more and more... Quinn has always been a dope, but I can except that, because there was no prior like-ability, for me anyways.

To me, this was the first night of the season where I was actually getting bored 20-30 minutes into it, and I very much hate to admit that.

I just have to wonder if there are any casual fans out there who were actually shocked by Gellar being in the fridge dead? I mean, if they were actually planning this to be a shocking moment they should've did a better job at concealing it. I mean, there were tons of clues where you began to question if Gellar was real or not. If they are being this obvious, it's plain to see that The Collector Intern is networking to get to Dexter. He used the hot blonde to get his foot in the door, he's got the prosthetic hand and now he's banging Dexter's babysitter- it's obvious he's used his webskills and found out ITK and Dex are brothers and they've hinted his obsession to Dexter.

To me, it's just bad writing this season - too much obviousness and hand-holding to non-rewarding payoffs. I am a die-hard fan too, been one since Season 1 aired, so I want it to be good, it just isn't right now.

I'm still holding onto a small ray of hope that they can turn it around by seasons end, other than that, this was just another week where The Walking Dead has outshined Dexter in many ways.

The will have to really, really work hard to come-up with 2 more seasons of this show that I will wait months and months and months for.

My frustration right now is similar to how I felt with the Sopranos toward the end. I felt like they were creating the illusion of jeopardy without ever writing very far outside their well established boundaries. The Sopranos was a great show during the first two seasons, and then there was a bell curve falloff. They kept teasing a NY vs NJ war that only happened during the last couple episodes. And I hated that fade to black ending so hard. What a copout.

So now Dexter need to break it's mold or face the same. With two more years signed they need to think bold.

 

[YoNoSe]

Yeah, they telegraphed the Geller reveal wayyyy too early.

I feel the same way. I want to love it but it's getting harder.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here but I actually find Quinn one of the best parts of this season. Maybe it's because he's one of the newer characters, or one of the few that's dealing with things we haven't seen a million times before.

I can't see how they can sustain this for another two seasons. Even Dexter's narration sounds like we've heard it all before. I hope they shake things up. I looks like Deb is going to crash hard in one way or another - either the brass are going to smite her to stop the hooker investigation or she (or more likely her shrink) is going to figure out Dexter is a murder chair.

I don't think we've seen the last of Geller's tramp-stamped former lover.

There's only one problem with that statement.they are not his kids.he has no legal rights to them at all and after what happened to rita I'm sure the grandparents want nothing to do with dexter.

The grandparents do have another grandchild that lives with Dexter.

He's still their step-father...it's not like he only put up with them because of Rita, and now he never has to think about them again.

Of course Dexter put up with them because of Rita. It was just another means to his metamorphosis.

Or, Deb and the shrink get it on!!

 

[Kamandi]

Dex is a chair. They can call that back later. Have Dex face his ultimate fate while "The Mercy Seat" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds plays.

I'd watch that spin-off.

Or maybe.....

WTF is up with Chief Matthews banging Hookers in hotel rooms? and why the hell did he tell the one person that he hates , Laguerta

 

[ChaserFan]

Yeah, but I think the fact that Dexter felt responsible for Rita's death made him care a lot more about Astor & Cody.....although.....maybe he doesn't care about them, as this season proves

 

[ChaserFan]

and why the hell did he tell the one person that he hates , Laguerta

Laguerta saw Matthews' name on a ledger from a brothel, and used it to blackmail him into promoting her to captain.

My guess is that he continued his 'activities', and accidentally got that chick killed, and turned to Laguerta (the only one who knew about the prostitutes) to help sweep it under the rug.

I said that on this thread... which is why I feel like the Lumen thing, coming back could work, or not, based on them trying to extend the series. There isnt much room left...

And if Deb finds out, in terms of a series, its pretty much a wrap, as you cant extend the show with that story line exploding without it getting really lame or just plain idiotic.

WTF is up with Chief Matthews banging Hookers in hotel rooms? and why the hell did he tell the one person that he hates , Laguerta

Angel f'ing prostitutes... (or going out there to find some)
Matthews...
The interns...
Trinity killer infiltrating the station so easily...
Dexter doing his deeds and getting Doakes on the hook...
Lundy porking Deb...
LeGuerta jumping the bones of her bosses boyfriend...
That sneaky Prado...
Miami and all those serial killers...

Fun place to live in and a great place to find a job at, Miami Metro.

 

[YoNoSe]

Deb could always find out (dramatic!) and then bite the dust (oops, the secret's still safe).

I mean she did divorce Hall and the name of the show ain't DEBRA.

LOL -- I have a feelin' it won't be a pretty ending for Dexter when the show reaches it's final stages. Unless they do a Soprano's like ending, living things hinged...

 

[YoNoSe]

I'd guess either Dex dies heroically or he gets discovered and disappears, presumably to live at large murdering murderers forever. They would have to set up some kind of surrogate family for Harrison first. So if Deb ends up getting married I'd say it doesn't look good for Dexter.

It would take serious balls to to shed a realistic light on him by having him discovered and getting locked up for being a very prolific serial killer. I can't imagine that happening within the tone of the show.

Obviously it could be a million other things. I don't actually care what happens I just hope they can wrangle the show back into its pre-Lumen glory. I love the cast, I love the characters.

Another thing i thought of ... What do you think is going to happen to Masukas intern ? It was shown that he has The ice Truck Killer evidence , The prostitues fake prostetic hand. He must of either bought it off ebay when the chick intern put it up or managed to get it back for Masuka and decided to keep it for himself . IDK

I know something will come from it

They even showed that stuff in the recap last night so it must play some kind of role in the eps to come.
