Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

[Mister D]

I for one am not buying that Hannah poisoned Deb. I have two working theories:

1. The old roommate did it, since Deb was threatening her, and it would protect Hannah.

2. Deb did it. She's deliberately framing Hannah. Would feel out of character, but given all that she's been through this season, I could see it being justified. BTW - Does Deb normally wear her seat belt?

I don' know what show some of you guys are watching, but I love the direction this season has been heading. This last episode was great. Loved it.

I do too, but me defending it is like Void defending The Dark Knight Rises.

Dexter is being stupid this season but I will at least watch it still. I don't think I will ever watch Rises again. At least not for entertainment.
I mean I watch every episode this season and there were a couple of episodes that I liked, and this is much better than season 6.

What pisses me off about Dexter is that the writers are destroying the character with all these stupid choices. I don't feel as hateful of Dexter as I feel with Rises though.

So you'll watch new episodes of a show, but you won't re-watch a movie you complain about in numerous threads. I'm shocked!

Dark Passenger is the one that mention that movie. I was just saying if he likes the show this season he can talk about it. It won't get as ugly as that thread, at least Difabio is not Dexter obsessed

That would be par for the course for Deb this season and a bit of the 6th.

You'd think LaGuerta would have gone to Quinn seeing as in season 5 he was convinced Dexter was Kyle Butler and was somehow involved in Rita's death. Maria suspended him and was outraged he would even consider the thought after Dex had just lost his wife.

It wasn't just Doakes that had a bad vibe about Dex, Quinn did as well.

.... I don't feel as hateful of Dexter as I feel with Rises though.

Hateful? Someone needs to slip blackmask here a little of what Deb was drinking.

 

[Alex Logan]

Deb and Dex have been bent way too far out of their established zones now that I really feel like I'm watching two different characters.

I agree with this statement for the most part, but it has to be broken down a little further. Dexter has been constantly evolving over the course of the show. He's not the same person we knew from season one, so his changes make sense.

Deb is a different story. I'm really starting to hate her. She didn't go after Hannah because she was trying to protect Dexter, he doesn't need her protection. She went after Hannah because she's Deb and because she can't let ANYTHING go. She had a bug up her ass for Hannah ever since Price was killed, who by the way was a total piece of trash.

What Deb doesn't realize is that she's doing the exact same thing that LaGuerta is doing. And what about going after Hannah's roomate? Talk about a character flying off the rails. Her emotions are clouding her judgement big time. If she really loved Dexter should would have left Hannah alone. Now everything is messed up.

I for one am not buying that Hannah poisoned Deb. I have two working theories:

1. The old roommate did it, since Deb was threatening her, and it would protect Hannah.

2. Deb did it. She's deliberately framing Hannah. Would feel out of character, but given all that she's been through this season, I could see it being justified. BTW - Does Deb normally wear her seat belt?

Yeah, something just seems off about the whole thing. Why would she poison Deb? She knows Dexter would figure it out and it would screw up her relationship with him. Why not poison her old roomate? Let's be honest, that chick's kids would be better off some where else. She also has a lot to lose. Dexter knew about all the people that she killed and has covered for her many times. I also believe that Hannah really does love Dexter so it just doesn't makes sense.

I can't tell you just how disappointed I am with that last episode. I knew the writers were taking the story in this direction and it pisses me off. They keep doing the same thing over and over again with female characters. Lumen is a perfect example, the ending of season five seemed like a total cop out. You could even take it one step further and say they do the same thing with the "guest" characters every season. I was really hoping that this season would be different.

That would be par for the course for Deb this season and a bit of the 6th.

Indeed.

I'm wondering if Dexter won't just end up fixing all of this by making it look like Laguerta was trying to frame him. Make her look like a psycho in front of Miami Metro.

^ nice callback to last season!

I really didn't like last night's episode, I'm not sure I like where any of this is going now. The show seems to be going down a path where another season seems almost impossible. How can he still work at the station after all of this? What happens to Debra's career? I mean it looks like enough has been revealed to make the possibility of Dexter continuing to kill people be very slim and killing people is what makes Dexter Dexter. Have they passed the point of no return?

-Debra probably faked her accident as an extreme measure to save Dexter. Hannah will probably eventually prove to be deserving of what Debra did and Dexter will see Debra in a new light.

-Finding the kill room with the chainsaw proves that the BHB is still out there after Doakes is dead. It will also implicate Dexter in a way he can't easily escape. Actually if he does escape, it would've been better when he was escaping the scene itself, he probably should've been on skis hitting a ramp and going over Jaws.

I'm really wondering if this show will be looked back on as a show that should've ended at Season 4. The last episode of that season really felt more like a series finale than a Season finale.

I'm not giving up hope yet, but they better deliver the best episode ever for episode 12.

God, I hope you're right about Hannah. But how will she get out of killing Price?

Nice throwback to Happy Days there.

Yeah, episode 12 had better be as good as episode 1.

SPOILERS from episode 11 below, just in case

This season has been WAY better than season 6, but it still feels disjointed where the story-line is concerned. I also don't like that Dex didn't kill Hannah, since now she knows he's a killer and can back up Laguerta's story to get herself an easier sentence, it doesn't look good. The previews show Dexter being taken into custody but how the hell is he going to get out of that?

I'm mostly interested in the final season episode: "Surprise Mother****er"
Erick King is credited this episode so how do you guys think Doakes is coming back?

 

[die]

On Hannah... I don't think she would snitch on Dexter. It doesn't really seem like something she'd do. It would make more sense character wise for her not to turn on Dexter.

On Doakes... I can't see it making any sense to actually bring the character of Doakes back. More then likely, it'll be an episode like the one where they brought the Ice Truck Killer "back". Or maybe a flashback. I just can't see any way that they could have Doakes be alive without it coming across as a very bad idea.

I'm a huge fan of Doakes, I wish they wouldn't have killed him off like they did but it's one of those things that just can't be easily undone.

 

[crows]

What if Hannah ends her life just like that boy did in season 1 the boy that was going to kill his friend where Dexter finds the alligator.

What if they rehash that, that Hannah rather be dead and she kills herself or something?
she did say "why didn't you kill me?

Kill Hannah woudn't have made sense either. And no, Doakes is not coming back.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Loving this season - but Dex and Deb arresting Hannah with what she knows is a little suspect. But I'm convinced Deb set her up. I'm a little surprised Dex fell for it, but he sees Deb as his innocent little sister still.

As for Hannah singing - she can make up all the stories she wants, but without any evidence no DA would even charge Dex with anything. So Dexter may not be worried about that.

The whole Dexter being brought into custody is probably either a dream sequence or Laguerta going off on a limb and arresting him with no evidence so therefor he would be released. No way are they going to have Dexter arrested for real this season. That would just pretty much end the series, but honestly who knows wth is going to happen

 

[Kamandi]

Laguerta releases Estefan, tails him waiting for Dexter to attack. Follows him to cargo dock. Finds a kill room. Catches up with Estefan who tells her he wants protection, Dexter Mosser tried to kill him.

1) Physical evidence - check.
2) Plastic in kill room invalidates the Doakes frame job
3) A witness and near victim ready to testify against Dexter, with a timeline that can be verified by police.

Laguerta has enough to make a case to the DA.

The problem is Hannah talking and Laguerta hearing that will be sure. I mean she is already kinda sure but who knows where this is going.

I am afraid that they will say that Hannah cannot live without Dexter and do something like kill herself.
