Just like a lot of the writing on the series... LOL. Most of it brilliant, some very hacky. 'Cause we all know, everything ever put down on paper for this show has always been on point. LOL.

Believe me, killing him off and how Dexter would react would be very interesting,wouldn't be a fan of him loosing the plot over it altogether and abandoning the code,but it certainly would hit him on another level then the Death of Rita.
and I must clarify, when i said the killing of a child would be the first for the series , I meant as in one of the main child actors, that being Harrison the only child currently in the show.
I don't see Travis surviving past the end of this season( nor do I want him to as his Character isn't great), but wouldn't it be cool if Harrison remained abducted for the course of the next season, that would ____ with Dexter! the not knowing factor of it
Agreed...
it surely will blast him emotionally, yes, even on another level, then Rita's death. Just a human element that you have to wonder about Dexter, and how the writers could portray that...
It makes no narrative sense whatsoever that Dexter go off the deep end like that. It makes no narrative sense to kill Harrison. In fact, it sounded so much like fan-fiction written by a 14 year old that it made me laugh.
oh you mean like Dexter having sex with a random girl and shooting a gun at billboards while yelling like a lunatic..
anyway, this is just some thinking about what could happen here, it would be interesting, I mean ,the only thing Dexter has left is his son, the show is ending, they are going to have to do something, and Deb finding out about Dexter and Dexter being hunted down or something sounds kinda boring to me actually, I hope the writers will come up with something interesting, but by seeing how this season turned up, I am not holding my breath on something interesting, I just hope they at least don't do something over the top or ridiculous,
what I mean is, I hope the ending is at least decent...

Great post!
Oh, and if there is a 'man-hunt' for Dexter, forget it.... that would be the ultimate hack storyline.
I think one of the main themes that has developed in Dexter is "How will Harrison turn out?"
I think that's an interesting notion and they've invested alot into that with the conversations with Harry, Dexter having visions of how Harrison will be and the whole Harrison being "born in blood" like his dad. I think killing Harrison off would be a mistake, personally.
I think ultimately there needs to be an ending where fans get an idea of what Harrison will become. Even if the final season has Dexter somewhat taking on a "Harry" type of role with a young Harrison (possibly recognizing a dark passenger in him) it would be better than just killing him off. I think it would be hard to have 2 more seasons of Dexter being the guy who's had this many people close to him murdered in seperate events.

If the series ends with Harrison grown up a few years down the line and the camera pans over to Dexter (who's dead) and you see how he's Harrison's Harry. I think that would be awesome.
I thought about this first, about Dexter Becoming like Harry teaching Harrison, but, the only problem I see is having to fast forward in time like that, I Guess they could leave that to the last episode?
I mean, I am not a big fan of when shows or movies do the whole "8 Years later" type of thing in movies, maybe it would work here,
but I do agree seeing Harrison learning the code would be really interesting, there is a lot to work with it seems, a lot of ways they could take the show, some interesting and some lame, it depends if they want to go to go for a safe ending or a risky ending, it could go either way,
what If the writers make Deb finding out about Dexter but then she accepts him, and at the end we see Dexter getting killed and then Deb teaching the Code to Harrison lol
All this is cool... but what are the chances Harrison ends up with the same tendencies Dexter had as a kid growing up? It's not a chronic gene like a diabetic one, or a some other physiological happening. I find it kind of dopey to continue the cycle...I thought about this first, about Dexter Becoming like Harry teaching Harrison, but, the only problem I see is having to fast forward in time like that, I Guess they could leave that to the last episode?

Unless, Harrison finds out, years later about his dad...but then what? He then decides to pick-u[ his daddy's habits based on... what? It being cool? It gets rather silly...
So, unless they show Harrison years later developing those same tendencies, it's silly to think that Dexter will mentor his boy.
Especially since Dexter the last few seasons has been worried about his lil' boy developing the dark passenger. That's one of the things that goes on in Dexter's morbid mind and that will always haunt him... whether his boy will just be typically developing without those maddening impulsions. And that should haunt him forever...
Part of Dex's psychological profile and part of his problems.
I think people are only assuming it might happen as is Dexter himself due to the fact Harrison witnessed a horrific scene as a baby like Dexter did himself when he was a child and the similar circumstances may result in Harrison developing a dark passenger of his own . I personally never was a fan of this idea the show had that a traumatic event can turn someone into a serial killer, the way I see it your either born that way or not.
well there is also the Ice Truck Killer, don't forget, but he was too old to help, the whole reason Harry couldn't help him no?
I guess there is a precedent that since they are so little, and witnessed something so horrific, it just damages them? I mean, that's why the idea of Harrison becoming like Dexter, not only that but Dexter behavior could also influence him, he is Dexter's son after all I mean, "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree"
Im not saying that's what i want to happen, but i could see why it could happen, is not as bad as it seems
Sure it is possible for an event such as the one dex and Brian witnessed could damage someone so mentally they could become a serial killer but the fact both those kids became serial killers and dexter fearing his son may become one due to a similar event is ridiculous IMO, I'd say in reality it's far more likely victims of such horrors would do the opposite and actually fear blood/death/violence even more,rather then become a serial killer!
..and Brian could have turned out fine and could have been guided by the code too, but Harry was just a ____ and assumed the kid was beyond saving.

I think debra could probably die and it could get pinned on dexter. Then all his secrets come undone and he has to flee. Then at the end of the show you see that debra was just under scarecrow's fear gas and that everything is actually back to normal.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!
exactly.
I told my wife before the show started tonight that I think they might go with a romantic thing between Debra & Dexter and she said "and I'll quit watching it"
Rack up another "quick and easy escape" for Dexter from the burning ring of fire or if you're an Xbox owner: The Red Ring of Death.
Travis Marshall did some Bond Villain style deathtrapping in this one!!!

lol it was a good episode indeed, It makes me hopeful for the other season actually
HAHAHA -- LOL at those that were like, "no way they are hooking up or implying that...," HAHAHHAA.
When they were playing that angle, and Deb's dream, I was laughing hysterically. It was so corny.
To summarize episode:
1. They are setting up the next season IMO with the collector, and his delivery of the 'hand' for some future storyline...
I don't care where it goes at this point, it looks interesting.
2. The ending was hack and just dopey. A ring of fire, Dexter was all tied, ready to be blown to bits, and AGAIN, like a super-hero, he escapes. It's one of those WTF moments that you have to suspend reality and just say...,"Geez!"
Either you dispose of him (which wont happen, clearly), or, don't set that up like that. Dexter is pinned there -- has the effects of the gas, Travis couldve done what he pleased with him, yet... that's what happens? Ok, Superman... Dexter. Writing fail there - dont do that again. It's not a Marvel or DC comic book.
3. YESSSS -- danger to Harrison. And Travis going after the beasts' son. I LOVE IT. Dexter and his human emotions will surely be exposed and his LOVE will be out for the world to see as his son is on the verge of God knows what.
