Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

[DinoLast]

Yep, totally unemotional.

It's interesting that he was able to show emotion after he murdered that dude in the restroom (this has to be his second non-murderer victim, right? That guy was guilty of being a ******, but nothing else...his other non-murderer victim was that photographer) but not to the kids or at Rita's death.

A litlle hokey of me, but I was hoping that Dexter would finally break down and cry at the funeral.

Fourth

The Pedo and Miguel Prado's brother

 

[CelticPredator]

^ Pedo's deserve to die. And the brother DID attack him....so it was self defense.

 

[Devil_666]

Actually, Doakes was Lila's second victim. Remember she confessed to Dexter that she set her ex-boyfriend's place on fire with him still in it?

Yeah.. and that was a lie. Read up on it.

Doakes never knew Dexter was a killer before he caught him. He always said, he knew something was up but never this. He never suspected Dexter of being a murderer. Lila never did either. His mimicry of humans is that good.

I didn't say that. CelticP did..

Everyone who saw Dexter for what he is was a killer. Doakes, Lila....and now Quinn.

 

[CelticPredator]

Which is true. Mitchell didnt because he wasnt paying attention. He looked at Kyle Butler, not Dexter Morgan.

 

[Devil_666]

Still.. your theory doesn't make sense bro.

 

[El Skutto]

How is he going to explain where he was?

I guess if things start looking bad for Dex, LaGuerta and Angel will have to fess up and confirm that Dexter was busy being the witness to their marriage when Rita was being killed.

I'll admit that I didn't enjoy the premiere as I thought I would, but I remain optimistic that the season will improve as it progresses.

For all those people wanting Quinn strapped to Dexter's table, may I ask why? Quinn is a (somewhat) honest cop so why should he die? Because he's getting close to catching a genuine serial killer?

I don't necessarily want him to be killed, but from the trailer, it looks like he gets very close to finding out Dexter, like Doakes did. So unless the plan is for Dexter to be caught, I don't see how they can keep Quinn past this season.

 

[Dark Passenger]

Meh.. that's lame. Because that's more of a coincidence then. Lila for example.. the only person she ever killed was Doakes. No one before that.. yet she "saw" Dexter's dark side BEFORE she ever killed someone. And the only reason she knew for sure that Dexter was a killer was because Doakes told her. So I'm not buying it.

Dexter's whole life is about camouflage. He mimics every human emotion and was taught to fit in at a very early age. It's no surprise to me that he can fool everyone but Doakes.

Still.. your theory doesn't make sense bro.

Does mine?

 

[fawk3s]

Hm I dont think Doakes was actually that kind of a killer. He was a veteran who had seen and done too much. But he didnt actually enjoy killing.

 

[Dark Passenger]

Doakes never even suspected Dexter of being a killer. The scene where Doakes catches Dexter on the dock he even says he knew it was something but never this.

 

[Devil_666]

Depends. I mean obviously within the context of the show he's successfully fooled the majority of people close to him and has blended in. So in that sense I agree with you. But in reality, watching the show c'mon: Dexter STILL acts awkward and weird.

But I agree with you. Except for the part about Doakes.

To me, for people who like Dexter they look past him. But for people who don't like him they look closer and that's when they see inconsistencies in his behavior, etc.

Look at Quinn for example. Before the incident with him stealing money and Dexter seeing it (and all the crap that followed) Quinn never paid much attention to Dexter. If THAT Quinn were in the last episode.. he would've been like everyone else: feeling bad for Dexter and his loss. But since Quinn doesn't like Dexter.. he looks deeper.

And to me.. that has more to do with being suspicious and always thinking the worst of someone you don't like as opposed to accepting and not questioning the actions of a "Friend".

 

[DinoDB1975]

Yeah.. and that was a lie. Read up on it.

I did...and you're right. It's been so long since I watched Season 2, I must have forgotten that point.

Don't trip, that woman lied so much it was hard to keep up with all of them.

Fixed.

He killed like crazy in the second season. He popped caps into everyone.


And dispite reading the lie thing...where and which episode was it said exacly? Because I dont remember it...and I just watched it.

Well it was half truth not a full lie.
The Lie was that she was a drug addict, and that she went sober after killing her boyfriend. Fact was she is not an ex-drug addict, but a compulsive arsonist and sociopath, and she went to support groups as an attempt to feel other peoples emotions. She did kill a boyfriend, but felt no remorse

 

[CelticPredator]

^ So I was right. Ok then.

 

[fawk3s]

He did kill a few people, but they were all justified. Take Curtis for example. He didnt want to go to prison so he made the choice of aiming a gun at Doakes. Doakes was forced to shoot him. He didnt enjoy doing it. So he wasnt a killer in that way.
