Seriously, Kenny Johnson needs to go into kill mode and just kill Dexter, Hannah, Deb, and Harrison.

i can forgive the bad acting of a child that age (even though i think they could have had harrison a bit more beleivable)...........but for dexter........

Spoiler

seconds after barging thru the door and finding vogel on the floor still bleeding out he starts hugging her without even thinking oliver could have come back stabbed him or whatever. oliver didn't even have enough time to make it out of the house even if he was fleeing. dexter barely even glanced around. i was expecting him to get clobbered.

seriously?

"He has a backdoor into Dr. Vogal's computer... it works both ways. I now have a backdoor into his computer.:

Um... no. Who the f--- taught these people computer science?

 

[darthviper107]

Also, who keeps a bunch of documents like that on their computer?

 

[die]

I don't guess we have to put spoilers up when discussing last night's episode........

I don't even know where to start... I mean Dexter is a CRIME SCENE EXPERT and has killed tons of people with a knife.... after seeing 85% of Vogel's neck sliced apart, what would even be the use of running up to her? That's a done deal right there.

What did Harrison hit that would give him that gaping gash? Looked like his neck was punctured.

It looks like somebody paintbrushed some white streaks into Saxon's hair to make him fit an older character, which makes even less sense to do when you consider that on this show they showcase pictures & videos supposedly from the 60's and 70's that look like THEY WERE ALL MADE LAST WEEK. Seriously, the prop department on this show deserves an uppercut.

Screw the writers for their stupid little speech before about how they were going to make the Debra/Dexter relationship happen and make sense to the fans over time. Looks like they heard the bad reaction over the idea and decided to go in a different direction. To me it makes it worse because it looks like they don't have the ***** to finish what they started plus the direction they took now looks like they have no real plan.

So let me get this straight...Jamie loves babysitting, cooking, housework and sex but Quinn is like "nope, not for me." ?

Dexter & Hannah both decided love is better than killing, so now they both can just essentially "turn it off" at the same time?



What happened to the Dexter that I used to know?

 

[darthviper107]

yeah, so much for his need to kill

 

[Kamandi]

Bottom line - Dexter MIGHT have one kill this season and it's a character that sucks.

 

[averagejo]

Yeah, it a shame how Masuka has gone from being brilliant comic relief to being a pointless character.

Woo Hoo... another piece of crap episode. At this point, I really don't care what happens to anybody on the show. I don't know if I am more disappointed in the crappy writers, the actors for agreeing to read the lines or myself for watching!

I wish I could just stop watching but I am too close to finish watching this train wreck come to an end I just can't look away.

One thing that I notice is that when watching Breaking Bad I am sitting on the edge of the couch with sweaty hands all while the hour is flying by. While watching Dexter I am playing on my phone and the hour seems to last FOREVER!!

I'm selling my Dexter collection. FK it.
This show sucks so bad this season. Boring.

Harry talking to Dex in the kill room was like, really? No shi* he hasn't killed in a while. Like all darn season.

He's all full of feelings and s*#t, muah Hannah, i love you. Cupcakes and fluffy bunnies under rainbows, as long as I'm with you Hannah. Fkn Joke

Lol, yeah, and the ow, ow, ow thing... and in the clinic he's not even holding the bloody towel against his chin half the time. Then, after all that, he had a Band-Aid on his chin and is all like "and I got a lollipop!". Who the **** writes this ****!!!!

I agree with everyone of you!!
Another ridiculous scene...When Dexter was telling Angel that he was taking off right in the middle of a crime scene with that poor dead guy lying on the pavement.

 

[die]

good point jo, that reminds me of something I said last night while watching the show........What's with Dexter being so sappy about the Argentina thing anyway?

I mean it's a part of the "Don't Get Caught" mentality. They have so many people just vanishing into thin air in Miami that he could've just left the country without warning. I mean, he is planning on traveling somehow with a wanted fugitive, right? Aren't there at least 50 better ways to handle this than how he did?

What happened to the cold, methodic, maticulous, judo master Dexter from the first 2 seasons???? They've totally killed everything that made him a great character. So many facepalm moments from the "Ewww gross" face he made when he found the finger in the stew pot to standing in the frame of the window in plain site to watch Saxon, I'm wondering how did it ever get this wrong.

Minus my add on at the end.

BEEP BOOP COMPUTER NOISES.

Remember when Dexter literally had an app for anything? Even Fingerprint scanning?

That's what you get for putting a Star Trek writer in charge (Many Coto). Computers and smartphones are the tachyon burst of this show. They can do anything.

You didn't see that crap during the first two seasons.

 

[pixletwin]

Well if what I have read is true, MCH is the guy to blame. Apparently he makes the writers regularly change script elements to fit his vision of Dexter. Sop ultimately, the Dexter you see on screen is his creation.

 

[CelticPredator]

I blame everyone involved with this show. Down to the best boy. **** the best boy.

 

[krec9]

Exactly blame everyone involved not just Michael c hall.

 

[CelticPredator]

I think his point was, some people would've given MCH a pass, and saying he's forced to do this.

 

[pixletwin]

There has been a "Burn the writers!" vibe here, as if the writers were solely responsible for the direction which the character of Dexter has gone. Not so.

 

[CelticPredator]

Indeed. Now, the writers are still to blame for writing that horrible crap, weather they were forced too, or not. Even the directors don't know what to do. Every episode this season has been visually appalling.

 

[Kamandi]

There's plenty of blame to go around. This show should have done 3 or 4 seasons where there was a plan.

The Trinity season was good, but overall the show died at the same time as Doakes.

I don't think anyone bothers to mention Hall by name since he is of course the most responsible, as executive producer. Guy's getting $1M/episode for this tripe. On the one hand, good for him... but wow, he pretty much has no artistic integrity left at this point. I used to love watching Hall but now he's just phoning it in for fat stacks. Doubt I'll watch him again. Don't expect he'll be bothered.

And the writers still suck. I've never hated a show so much, that I at-the-same-time felt compelled to watch, just to finish things. Damn you, seasons 1-2 & 4!!!

 

[guyverfan]

After season 4 I've pretty much only watched it waiting for its eventual end. Dexter used to be such a great show to watch....he was so precise and calculating and everything he did had a purpose. This show has just been a trainwreck since Trinity. Two more episodes and it's finally all done and over with.
