Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

I think that about the cop too. But it's too obvious. There has to be more.

wow.................interesting twist...........

Yeah. Maybe she's involved with one of the two suspects!? Maybe to promote herself or to get recognition within the department!? Could be the twist.

 

[CelticPredator]

Also, she was not there during the raid. And she gave the slit throat kid a weird look....hmm.

I'm also loving the way Stiles' character is turning out. Much better then what I thought.

I think nanny role is to suspect Dexter of doing stuff, she knows he never came home that one night and knew not to trust him based on that.

So it looks to me like Boyd was part of a Serial Killing Cult. I'm guessing the tapes he was listening too have something to do with this. It could be that Peter Weller's Character could be the leader of this cult. Maybe the beheadings are linked too, all wild guess work at the moment

I thought she was there (she had on a tact-vest)!? When Deb said "You weren't there" I thought she was talking about in the room with her and the suspect (to see the kid get his throat slit).

So it looks to me like Boyd was part of a Serial Killing Cult.

Possible. Although I took it more as Boyd was the serial killer, and the "cult" was more of a rape/torture ring. Where girls are kidnapped, held hostage and made into sex slaves that get passed around from guy to guy i.e. even the people in that little set up don't know that Boyd was a killer.

They showed Peter Weller talking to Quinn. I think he is a cop or a detective. They were talking about Dexter.

Yeah I think you are probably right about that.

Maybe he's allying himself with Quinn, because Dexter is taking on the Cult or Sex Slave Ring? It could be Quinn's undoing.
I am normally wrong, but I love the Detective work you have to do during the show and that's one of the reasons I love Dexter

Great episode last night. Best so far this season imo. I just was gifted a season 5 promo poster. 27x40.

I have been thinking about this a bit more, and there has to be some murdering going on somewhere for Dexter to go after them, that's if he does, which I'm sure he will

My guess as well, especially since Lumen (what a name!) asked Dexter if he was going to "sell her". I immdeiately thought of the sex trafficking trade.

Also, remember what Boyd said the Dexter before Dex killed him/ He said something along the lines of "I'm helping them!". Maybe he rationalized that killing them "freed: them from sexual slavery.

I have a feeling the nanny disappears w/ the kid. It get the writers out of a jump the shark problem. Nobody really wants to watch a show about Dex being a dad.

I do. I think its more interesting to have some challenges in his life that gets in the way of killing from time to time.

And if she runs off with the kid, what is going to happen? Dex is just going to shrug his shoulders and say "eh, prolly for the best" and move on? No, hed spend episodes on end doing nothing at all besides trying to get the kid back. Anything else would look extremly wierd.

I'm a huge Dexter fan, but i'm really having a hard time getting sold on the idea of the show still having alot of life left in it right now. Seasons 1 and 2 were just as epic as you can get to me, 3 was a bit of a letdown for me, but it had it's moments (I hated the ending). Season 4 was definitely really good and the ending was EPIC, just really floored me.

I think the show has really gotten sidetracked after Seasons 1 & 2. To me, what really helped to push the character of Dexter in Seasons 1 & 2 so well was the inner dialogue and the mood-setting music. The music ALWAYS set the mood (that Blood Theme is EPIC, as is Astor's Birthday) and Dexter's inner dialogue/narraration always helped put the viewer right into the character. Now, it seems that the show has gotten more about one-upping with special guests, putting Dexter in ridiculous situations, who Deb's sleeping with and every episode contains more and more one-liners from Deb and Masuka. To me the show suffers from the change in direction.

But....I can see fans letting these things slide a bit. My real #1 problem with the show now is the unexplained kills where Dexter kills outside of the code. Maybe it's part of the set-up for the series finale where Dexter gets convicted/killed/etc. but it's still a loose end that hurts the show for me. A guy whos such a methodical, "neat" monster with a code goes outside of his modus operandi like it's nothing? If it's a part of a bigger picture here, they really aren't doing a good job of explaining it to me.

I still watching the show every Sunday, but I'm really hoping that it can return to it's glory. I'm starting to think that by giving last Season such an epic ending, it may end up costing them. I think alot of fans forgot how important the Old School Rita was to the show.

It seems as though we have another Miguel Prado on our hands this season.

We'll have to see how they tweak this formula. I wonder if part of this season will deal with how Dexter learned from what happened with Prado to help him control Lumen. . . besides what the hell kinda hippie name is Lumen??

Ya i don't want another apprentice type scenario like we had with Prado.. if they keep it more about dexter helping her get revenge to ensure she keep's his secret that will be fine, i hope she remains innocent ..and leaves the killing for dexter.

First time posting in this thread and i'm a big dexter fan ..what am i like?

Yeah but I'm not sure they're going to go on a road tour or anything. I think Dexter is going to help her get revenge because he feels sorry for her, then she'll either die in the process or they go their separate ways leaving room for her return in the future. Either as an ally or a target for Dexter because she goes on a vigilante killing rampage.

 

[Calcifer]

I wonder will dex bring Lumin into his normal life, introduce her to the other characters to further show that he is a good guy, show her that he has a child ,a sister and friends ..if they do this it could be interesting to to see the other characters reactions to dexter getting involved with another woman so soon after Rita's death ..Quinn would find it very suspicious.

 

[CelticPredator]

Something tells me Dexter will end up on the table. But at the last second get saved. Perhaps by Deb?

I think the thing left to really send the show to the next level is to have someone close to him find out about his Dark Passenger (see what I did there?). Only one left is Deb.

I also think that by the end of the season either Quinn or Lumen will die. Dexter Law of Physics show that anyone who comes too close or knows of Dexter's secret dies.

The only problem is, Quinn is actually a good guy. He suspects Dexter of being involved with a serial killer on a 30 year reign. Nothing wrong with Quinn in my book. I think Dexter would agree as he even told Doakes "I never held it against you."
