Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

[crows]

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.

LOL I know, hahaha, is funny everything some of us were discussing about the romantic angle and Harrison being in danger was being set up lol, I know Harrison will not be killed but what if he is kidnapped by someone, that would be just as bad,

about Deb's dream, I actually found the pic of their "encounter" online LOL,

This just got good,

I Hated the ending, They set it up perfectly, Travis came, Dexter got dizzy, Travis overpowered him, All Up to the point Dexter faints, I was excited, like something good might happen...
then Travis acts like a Bond Villain and leaves Dexter to die without even staying to see....
and Dexter uses magic to escape.... They could have set up something else, something that made it seem more of a treat to Dexter, I don't know, the ring of fire felt really stupid actually

So, next week is the finale, and I couldn't care less. It seems like by this point in previous seasons they've always ramped up the tension to the point where you can't wait for next week's ep. Now, I just don't care.

I guffawed at Dexter's face in the painting. It was just so silly. Like Travis gets so pissed at Dexter he takes the time to paint his face over it. I've never heard of someone rage-painting before. "Oh, that Dexter pisses me off so much, I'm going to paint this photo-realistic image of him on Satan's body, grrrr."

I remember at the beginning, Scott Buck was kinda like "I've been with the show since Season 2, so I know what makes Dexter tick." Obviously he does not.

LOL that made me laugh,
I said it before yeah, I agree, this season feels like the worst season to me, worst than season 5,
But this episode makes me a little hopeful for next season, Doomsday Killer might be one of Dexter's Lamest killers he had to deal with,

I really hope they bring their game up for next two seasons

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Well to sum up how i feel about this season will be simple....


I'm excited and let down angry at the same time

i cannot believe the incompetence in writing this season. wow...i actually forgot to tune in to watch today and after i just saw it now, i don't regret it.

 

[cokebabies]

This show has always had a low opinion of its audience's ability to notice details and plot points. Hence, everything being explained to the audience. But the foreshadowing of Dexter's side effects coming back "after exerting himself wink wink wink pay attention!!!!!" was so heavy handed. As soon as it was mentioned, I thought "well, he's going to get the jump on Travis and get dizzy."

 

[noisetrigger]

I guess the show has finally jumped the shark...or ring of fire...

 

[cokebabies]

The ring of fire reminded me of the opening of Bioshock.

.... I know, wtf? seriously, why? why is it so bad this season though?
Im still feeling a little hopeful but, if the last two seasons will be handled the way this season was,
we could be looking at the worst ending of a series ever... maybe

Yep, even a 5 year old could have deduced that that was going to happen....

SAME !!!!

 

[freestylex06x]

travis has to be the worst villain of the series so far. i think it is a combination of the character himself and colin hanks' weak acting skills. it would have been better to switch to the video game guy as the main villain this season.

 

[Giant Chicken]

The only thing that I am interested in is the Ice Truck Killer hand. Everything else is just blah!!!! I think I have been upsetting the guys I watch the show with because of all my negative comments throughout the show. I will do my best to be quiet during the finale.

 

[Dark Passenger]

Ugh. The only thing I care about is what is going on with Louis and the hand. Why did he mail it to Dexter?

This series could have been 3 episodes. The Nebraska one, and then 2 episodes with Louis buying the hand and mailing it and then whatever happens with it.

Ugh.

Travis taking Harrison looks cool though but I honestly don't care what happens to Harrison or Travis.


Oh, and Laguerta is a piece of ____.

Agreed. Although the Nebraska was not that great and only good because of 'biney.' Otherwise, it was ok, out of place and really...

I really hope Travis takes Harrison's life. Dexter will then have two people close to him... wiped.

That sets up next season with Deb, their love et., and how he said, "I'll never let anything happen to you," more effective. Either for her death, or she finds out about the passenger, or both. Then, Dex's life, even with feeding this inside of him, will always be somewhat jinxed by those around him dying.

Wasn't that part of her dream?

 

[Droog Alex]

LOL -- wasnt that when they were outside after Wormwood? Ok... my mistake if it wasnt.

That dream - boy, was that hacky. Dex sitting there, eating, looking like he wanted some poontang from Deb --

The irony; just a few seasons back, they had one of the greatest moments in a dream sequence, Dex telling Deb he was the BHB, and years later, he is wanting a kiss...

The biggest problem this season has been the lack of surprise due to holding the audience's hand to the "twist".

Like with Gellar... If they would've did it correctly, it could've been a nice twist and caught alot of people off guard. For instance, the scene where Gellar and Travis are out at the club (first off, they shouldn't have been partying lol)....if they would've just had a moment where they saw his face in the paper while out in the streets and Gellar decides he needs to lay low so he isn't spotted, they would've had a reason for him just to stay in the church for the rest of the season and later easily explained him as being in Travis' head. But, they had to have all those giveaway scenes with the 1 coffee cup and the girl that was tied up saying she only saw one guy, etc. Spoiled it... totally.

or with Louis The Diabolical Intern Collector (L-DIC), they spoiled that by showing "his hand" too soon. It made no sense to show the ITK hand on his shelf episodes ago. Last night, think about how much more hard-hitting it would've been to see him with that hand if it was totally unexpected? Why'd they reveal he had ulterior motives so early? Shoulda just built him up as the harmless nerd and then revealed his motives last night for the first time. That could've been a truly great moment.

The Deb thing could've been much smoother, perhaps the audience could be led along better if they didn't do it so cheesily and from out-of-nowhere. The dream sequence was the worst part of last night's show, it topped the Ring of Fire for me, actually. Looks like Deb will be infatuated with Dexter and Dexter will resist, then eventually give=in, blah-blah-blah - GOD I HOPE NOT.


All Hanks Jr. needed to say in the boating fire scene was "No Mr. Morgan, I expect you to die" as he drove off. First off, it was a bad idea...they should've just had somebody pull up and scare Travis away or something while Dexter was TKO'd from the injection. Second, there are too many 5 second easy escapes from death for Dexter. Maybe if they would've had Dexter use the fire to burn through the ropes or something, I'd maybe buy it.


I'm looking forward to Episode 12 hoping they can make all this make sense and win me over for 2 more seasons. This could've been a much better season, that's what hurts the most.

Great posting!!!

I've been a fan of the series since episode 1 of season 1 but I think it's definitely jumped the shark. Season 4 was as good as it was going to get. Dexter used to be so meticulous and planned everything out but now he's just so off the cuff with everything. I used to wait for Sunday nights to see what was going to happen, now I more or less watch Dexter waiting for Homeland to come on. I'm seriously waiting for someone to off Laguerta though....I hope she dies in a bad way.

The writers know how much the fan-base hates her... all the more reason why I think they'll never kill her off.
