Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

Well the obvious was so obvious I thought it was too obvious, and made me think that they were tricking us, sadly it was just obvious. However there is still 3 more episodes, and I hoping there could still be more to this? It could turn out Travis still might not be working alone? Could Clarissa Porter still have a part in all this? Could Gellar actually be Clarissa some of the time?

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

Because banging them in his house might draw suspicion from the neighbors


Intern knows Dexter and ITK are related, maybe it ties into the videogame thing- maybe he wants to recreate it in a game or perhaps it is more sinister? He's definitely obsessed with Dexter.

Wow. Never thought of that. He has to know, great observation. Wonder if him banging Jamie will end him up in Dexter's apartment finding Dexter's trunk or Kill Tools.

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.

The bad writing seems to stem from Clyde Philips leaving Dexter to work and write for Homeland, which is an amazing show. Homeland is the best show on TV right now.

I thought the most surprising thing about this week's episode was that Louis had the missing hand in his apartment. I think he had a few Sideshow figures in there too. I thought I saw a Metaluna Mutant figure.

i didn't know how to take that.......was it all...............or all..........????

I just went on the Showtime website, and it definitely looks as if Travis had no help with the killings, it was just him and his imaginary friend. Thing is I can't see how he had time pull off some of these things, by seeming to be in two places at once. I guess it is down to some sloppy writing

 

[YoNoSe]

I still think Tramp-Stamp is involved somehow.

Nice sig and avatar, Dino. I hear Waterson is sketching portraits at a Six Flags park these days, happy as a clam!

Good to know. You have to admire a guy who stood by his principles, and did not sell out to the mighty dollar. I love Jim Davis' Garfield, but it sad to see how he is portrayed nowadays

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

Do you read other peoples posts Mike? Dies theory seems pretty solid.

Great episode last night. Man I wish I hadn't known the twist

 

[Calcifer]

I hope for one of the future seasons they keep the main villain unknown for a while like they did with the Ice truck killer in season 1. I miss that feeling of not knowing who the hell it is!!

 

[DinoLast]

I think the main let down was that Gellar is much more interesting a villain than Travis. That's down to the actors, Hanks is good, but James Olmos is up there with Lithgow, and could have made DDK Gellar as memorable as Trinity. Now we are stuck with just Hanks for the remainder, and that seems a much less exciting prospect

Olmos is certainly a good actor but nowhere near as cool a Villain as Trinity, and making it so obvious he wasn't real so early on didn't help either.

It's almost unfair to compare the two. Season 4 was the pinnacle of this series. I doubt they can fire on all cylinders like they did that season again.

This year overall has been much better to me. I just didn't like the Lumen character and felt it dragged last season down.

Ye sorry sort of misread your post but your right the character had potential,I get why they went the route they did with almos, they needed to give him something to make him interesting, just being a crazy religious killer wouldn't have been enough after the Ice truck killer being Dexter's brother and Trinity and his familycamoflauge, shame it could have worked if the twist hadn't been so obvious.

Olmos is under-utilized here. He is an intimidating screen presence when he has the right material.

He had a Ferg figure in there (urban vinyl)... I'm surprised no one brought that up a tad quicker. LOL.

As for that member... die, he is the theory king of Dexter 'round these parts. LOL.

I'm actually interested to see if Hanks can help carry the show with his psychotic portrayal...


Sorta of a Norman Bates thing going...

We'll see. I hope so.
