Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

[Dark Passenger]

This better be the perfect situation for her to get out of love with him. THAT would ruin the entire show and has already left a sour taste in my mouth.

Wish we saw more of Louis though. And WhyTF did they even put Travis getting the hand in there?

 

[pixletwin]

NOT GOING TO READ THIS THREAD!!

 

[Morbach]

great finale to a great show I'm satasfied. Had a finale party with all my family and friends who watch this show and at the end we all simultaneously went "OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

 

[CelticPredator]

OH MY ____ING GOD....YES!

This show finally hit the super stride.

 

[guyverfan]

With what happened tonight I fail to see the reasoning behind the whole buildup with Louis and the hand.

 

[SwedishHeat]

Well, this season has been nothing if not predictable and extremely telegraphed. Earlier in the season, I could see this season ending with Deb finding out. And after the scene in the psychiatrist's office, it was obvious that Deb would confront Dex at the church to tell him how she really feels, and blah blah, like clockwork, she finds out.

 

[CelticPredator]

It was very predictible.

Give me season 5 over this one any day.

However...i'm glad they finally did it.

 

[Dark Passenger]

I still think they built up the love she has for Dexter to the make the moment of her finding out more dramatic. If she's "in love" with him (which is horrible for the story) can she turn him in?

I want to know what is up with Louis and that box on the fridge!!

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Yes WTF is up with the colored lines on the prostetic hand?????????

Damn man i can't get that outt my head the fact that Deb wants Dexters PP

 

[Calcifer]

Great ending but very predictable, again Dexter was extremely sloppy killing Travis in the very place where Deb asked him to be that night!

 

[Mr. EcKo]

I know , why didn't Dex kill him in that back room that he had originally set up for Gellar?

 

[Kamandi]

This was not a well written season. We've all talked at length about the many problems it has. The cliff-hanger was something many had already speculated (Deb finding out), so I'm not going to get all shocked and give it a pass.

 

[Calcifer]

I know , why didn't Dex kill him in that back room that he had originally set up for Gellar?

He shouldn't have killed him in the church at all! , I know Dexter likes setting a theme and killing Travis there was fitting, but the fact he killed him on the job was ridiculous!, I know they had to write it that way so Deb would catch him in the act but at the same time it did the character a real disservice as did many other thing this season!

 

[Droog Alex]

Great ending to an 'alright' season.

How are they going to milk this Deb/Dexter thing now for 2 YEARS?

This is why IMO, it shouldnt have happened till next, especially with the way the writing has been.

Don't get me wrong, she had to find out, but this was the ultimate cliffhanger, of all cliffhangers, as it should be with this season.

All signs pointed to some sort of... "we have to wait and see...,"

And we have to now:
1. Deb's love for Dex
2. Her saying, I've been trying to find guys like Dexter, that are anti-Dexter, and now the Dexter she knows is living in both worlds.
3. LeGuerta saying, take control of your life, make your job your priority... now this?
4. She always loved him, now she is in love with him. But she knows... the dilemma.
5. She knows he's a killer, but does she know he's a serial killer? Is a random thing for him? How are they going to unfold this?
Is Dex going to say, this was a random act, very isolated to protect the fact he is "A father, the son and a serial killer," which by the way, was a great line from the show.
6. Louis -- the package is there... is there to leave him with what message?

I can keep on going... deduce this all you want, its going to take clever and good writing for them to get through 2 more season of this, with a major storyline explosion.

 

[Batty]

You guys are never happy.

 

[Dark Passenger]

She'd better put together the cut cheek on Travis and the Kill Tools (found by the scuba class in season 2) as signs of the Bay Harbor Butcher.

 

[Droog Alex]

To me, also...the season is setting up for:

Spoiler

Deb finally knowing her brother's darkest secrets. She's in a position of power and the dichotomy and dilemma she could face would make for a breath taking finale... Deb knows his secrets in the 1st book, the only book of reference the writers of the show have used. And they have stated strongly they'll never use any of the books, but that plot line is still out there and one from the first that has not been touched.

BAMM: God, I love it when I can quote myself... From early November, have to love me genius. Read it folks... Yup. Can't wait till the scripts start rolling.

 

[Droog Alex]

dexter getting caught, now that would be a great ending .

Oh, and Deb knows that he is weird, but based on losing Rita, him prior to that just being a lost soul, the Biney thing et., and without implying it blatantly, the writers have dropped that on us about Deb. It's a matter of when will she start many of the loose ends together and then the eventual...BAM.

Just my two cents...

The ending tonight made up for some of the ok episodes...Better than Season 5, IMO.

 

[Blood Electricity]

I thought this was a pretty good episode. Collin hanks finally came into his own imo. I like the cliff hanger even though it was totally obvious.

I hate how reckless he is now for no reason. The biggest was committing that murder on the boat in front of like a half dozen or more people.

Maybe deb finding out will make him have to really get his ____ together with being so friggin sloppy.

 

[Kamandi]

The whole Deb wants to f Dexter was just painful to sit through.

Someone suggested the idea of a manhunt for Dex as a hack idea... this season was some hack writing sh-t.

Anyway, I think this season might have actually ruined it for me. I don't want to ruin your discussion, so I'll just let it go now. I'll watch the first few eps. next year and see if they remember how to write.
