Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

[Snake Plissken]

Personally I heard dexter was escaping as Hannah

I really want to know who's bright idea it was to give Masuka a daughter. It was probably just an excuse to have teetz in one scene. They tried developing this subplot for it just to be left out there in the cold it's like half way through the season she just becomes another Metro employee that barely gets any screentime.

Flannery was annoying as **** through the whole season, and his sunken in old man mouth bugged me as well as his hair. Every scene with him I wanted to light that rabbit on his head on fire.

Flannery has been in some good stuff where he was decent. I blame the show.

Apparently it was to show the trajectory of Masuka's character. So that we know Masuka isn't just filling the rest of his days with dirty jokes and forensic work. Now we know that he has a daughter in his life.

But who honestly cares about character depth to the comic relief?

7 seasons and now were supposed to look at him a different way?

They could've added some depth to Masuka by actually letting him solve a case one time

I don't think there will be a spinoff, I think that based on the reaction the final season got, Showtime wouldn't want to take the gamble.

I mean, I'm still trying to understand how this last season could be so horrible. Say what you will about last season, but at least it had a solid final episode.

For a show that got this popular, you'd think they'd have spent more time/money on it to ensure quality. Old photographs on the show look like they were taken yesterday on a new digital camera...CG Hurricane fails...rubber babies....CGI snakes...horrible stunt doubles....horrible fake websites/PC programs. Just all around cheap crappy props.

Then, who the hell checked for plot holes and inconsistencies? When you establish that Dexter is a "neat monster" and adheres to a strict code, you can't just have him kill innocent people with no explanation as to how he excuses himself and you can't have him getting sloppy while tracking people (standing in windows in plain sight, parking right next to the victim, getting caught on camera, etc)

Dexter was great for the first 2 seasons, it lost it's way in Season 3 and then came back to redeem itself in Season 4. It became a show riddled with rookie mistakes and bad writing.

Also, since people mentioned Debra's character earlier..... The stupid writers saw that Debra was gaining a cult following for her cursing and Masuka for his creepy sexual comments, so they just decided to go completely over-the-top with it and make that their prime focus on those characters. They made you start to like Batista and Quinn only to make them useless background characters by the end.

They could've had Hannah try to kill Dexter this season and have Lumen come back and kill Hannah, I mean they left the door open for something like that. It would've been a better ending than what we got.

Another good post and point :
Great image, too.

I think that just speaks to the disconnect with what the writers wanted and what the audience wanted. They figured the audience might want to know what all these characters were doing once the show ended.

I don't think we're supposed to view Masuka differently, just know that he has something going on in his life.

 

[CelticPredator]

Nope .

What was the first?

Oh I agree, the end to that show was superb!

 

[cokebabies]

What was the first?

I have no idea what the first was, but while they're not common, they're not that rare. They gave two other Fs out this past week or so, to Million Second Quiz and Battle of the Year.

 

[CelticPredator]

That's right. I remember that.

 

[crows]

What are the rumors about the spinoff?

Showtime is desperately trying to come up with something. They don't have anything yet but Dexter was one of their biggest cash cows.

^^he couldn't self terminate.............

so what Dexter is the Terminator now??

 

[averagejo]

No, he's still a lumberjack.

 

[Frank]

This thread.



Miss Carpenter, just one question before we wrap this up: How's it feel to be dumped in the show and in real life by the same man?

 

[Snake Plissken]

I thought she was the one who wanted the divorce?

 

[Frank]

Women usually do the filing, it's only polite.

 

[Snake Plissken]

She waited until he was done treatments to do it, at least he had someone during all that.

 

[Hydeous]

I just finished watching eps 12, and the ending (the whole season actually) really disappoints me.

It's the weakest final season and finale I've ever seen.

 

[Something Sexy]

They should just do a Doakes prequel show.
