Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

"Auto Erotic Mummification". *Fapping motion*

Masuka is one funny bastard.

Yeah I had to rewind it and watch that scene again.

Spoiler

It was also funny when he was holding his throat and gesturing masturbation.

He went off on that little tangent.

I also liked the look on Debra's face, like she's heard a lot of disgusting things from Masuka, but what he's telling her at this moment is on a whole new level of perversion

I hope things continue to get better from here on out, I think the first 5 episodes were so mediocre that they really need to have nonstop great episodes to finish off the season with.

I'm starting to like the Lumen character, wonder if she'll end up as the babysitter? I think I remember an article somewhere way before the season opener where it was said that she'd be the babysitter. Seems like that's the setup.

Did you see the blood on her hair end up on the side of her cheek.....like a cut...

Might be reading too much into it...but..who knows.

 

[die]

Ahhh, very cool, Celtic! I saw it, but didn't even register that. Good eye!

 

[DinoLast]

Another good episode, but it's still looking like the weakest season yet.
The preview for next week looks like the pace is going to speed up again. Interesting move to make Weller's character a blackmailer.

"DEXTER MORGAN...DEAD OR ALIVE, YOU ARE COMING WITH ME..."


lol...

 

[Dark Passenger]

I like where Weller's character is going. It could get very interesting.

I'm not liking where Dexter and Lumen are going. It looks like there is going to be a love interest. It's like Rita never even existed after the first few episodes. Astor and Cody... how about a visit or something?

LaGuerta is such a... I smell divorce. Angel is better off. We should have never let women vote.

 

[CelticPredator]

I didnt realize Dexter fans were sexist....

Anyway, I dont think it'll end up being a love thingy..it's too stupid.

After every episode on Season 4 this thread had a ton of posts of people speculating what is going to happen next. The fact that this season seems to be sparking little interest speaks volumes. It's a shame, as I still think the show is one of the best on TV even when it's not running at full throttle, like it seems to be at the moment

 

[CelticPredator]

Season 4 was a tad like this. Better of course, but it still kept a slow pace up until the last 4 episodes. Then everything kicked into high gear and just elevated the show's potential so high, that honestly, they couldnt top it.

Personally, I don't think we should wallow in the grief of Rita's death for too long. If seasons of Dexter were 22 episodes long, then we might be able to spend some time on how Dexter deals with grief, considering he feels no emotions. But, we're already more than halfway through the season, I think 3 episodes is enough to deal with ending that chapter of his life.

I'm sure they wrote Astor and Cody out of the storyline because the actors were aging faster than the storyline progressing and honestly, kids always make a show worse. Do we REALLY want to see how Dexter manages 3 kids, a day job and his serial killer night life?? Sorry, I thought this show was about a serial killer who works in the crime lab. One of the themes of last season was Dexter wearing too many hats. . . this season they're correcting that.

 

[CelticPredator]

No, the show is about a serial killer, and the lives affected by him.

The discussion of "what Dexter is about" always ends with alot of different opinions, that's something i've noticed from the start.

I've always thought it was about a man who thinks he is not human realizing just how human he really is. It seems like that along the way viewers who are for the death penalty and people who are against the death penalty find themselves identifying with Dexter in some way and cheering him on , only to later realize the perils of vigilante justice and feel pity for him. I've always thought that's what makes the show smart.

I still swear that Peter Weller has based his character completely off of Clarence Boddiker from Robocop. He looks like him, talks like him and he's pretty much the same exact vintage sleazy character. I love it.

I'm just wondering if Lumen will bond with Harrison and end up taking the place of the babysitter eventually.

 

[Bustajesse]

I am really digging this season.

Robocop is making me nervous. I wonder how much he actually knows about Dexter. He is in the background floating around and you are never really quite sure when he is watching Dex.

I also wonder how Deb is going to handle killing that dude in the long run. I know there is a preview of it on youtube for next week but I don't want to spoil it for anyone who has not seen it yet.

 

[CelticPredator]

Die, I would say that's another good description of the show. But I do think the characters are important to the story. And they all effect, or are affected by Dexter in some way.

I know!! I was so nervous when he went into Cole's house. I was thinking Weller was there watching him and Lumen go into the house and then rush out. It's like an invisible Doakes watching his every move!!

 

[Dark Passenger]

I am liking where this season is going. I loved every season, even 3. (Lastly though). The show would be so boring if every season was Dexter chasing another Serial Killer. I think that's why they killed Boyd so fast. I really thought he would have hung around for another few episodes.
This seasons story arc is growing on me. I just hope that Lumen lives. Every character who meets the Dark Passenger dies in the end. We'll see what happens to Quinn and Liddy (Weller).

After reading your post you're 100% right. 3 Episodes is enough. Glad I don't have a job writing for Showtime.

I agree the characters are important to the story, they are the stepping stones to him realizing how human he is. Alot of people just think Dexter is about the killing, many still think that he never actually cared for Rita, that she was always just a "front" like he had intended for her to be from the start. I say he really cared for her, He really wanted to have Brian as his brother and he really wanted Miguel as his friend.
