Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

I bet quinn will destroy the evidence robocop got on dexter for deb's sake or something along those lines ..for some reason i can't see them killing him off.

 

[Devil_666]

Honestly, how many people here would care if we never saw Harry Jr. again?

I wouldn't.

 

[Kamandi]

Thank you. That makes at least two of us.

Robocop..

 

[ShadowX81]

I just don't think the Daddy Dex storyline is working. it's jump the shark stuff.

Honestly, how many people here would care if we never saw Harry Jr. again?

How is it jump the shark stuff if he has been more or less acting as a father to Rita's kids since the beginning of the show?

I like it. With no kids in Dexter's life, he would have no personal life and nothing to balance his time with. It would just be killer Dex all the time. It creates tension and is exciting.

How is it jump the shark? He's been involved with Rita and the kids since the first season. The only change is now he's a single father.

My name is... Murphy!

Then they should have kept one of the kids that Micheal C. Hall can act against. The scenes he had with Ashtor this season were better than anything they've done with Harry Jr. They need to do something with Dex's son besides interrupting the flow of the 'A' story.

Harrison is Dexter's baby, what did you expect them to do? As soon as Rita dies, Dex just throws the baby out?

It happens all the time in the newspaper. Personally I'd try to trade it for an iPod for something.

that kid better not grow up back talking & dissin' on pop.......................

">> what did you expect them to do? As soon as Rita dies, Dex just throws the baby out?"

No, but at least the kids who play Cody and Astor were getting old enough that they could play more dramatic material (see Astor) and have more to offer the show. They also would eliminate the need for the irritating nanny character.

Or they could have sent Harry to (permanently) live with his grandparents. Worked for Worf.

I agree and I thought it was a cheap way to handle Dexter and the kids by sending them to Orlando. I was looking forward to seeing how they would show Dexter trying the single parent/serial killer juggling everything at once and still keeping his head on.

That's just stupid. You could get AT LEAST an iPod AND a laptop for a healthy baby nowadays. Maybe even a nice top of the line Sears toaster.

robo cop kills quinn

deb kills robo cop

jordan kills lumen

dexter kills jordan

This really seems like the neatest way to tie things up. Whether it happens this way is the real question.

Although if Lumen dies, it would be yet another woman close to Dexter who dies / disappears (if Lumen's death isn't publicly known).

 

[meth head]

I have just completed Season 3

Overall I just loved it I thought it was very very good

Spoiler

1 question I have is right at the end where Dexter drips blood over Rita's wedding dress, does anybody know what that symbolised?

Spoiler

I'm sure that could be open to anyone's interpretation. I saw it as a visualization of the idea Dexter entering marriage (the pure white dress mixed with blood being a "normal" life mixed with his hobbies). I have another theory, but you might have more opinions on this symbolism when you've caught up to the whole storyline.

And regarding current episodes (AKA stop reading here if you're not caught up)... there have been countless episode endings where I've thought "oh man, how am I going to wait a week after this?" But probably the episode ending that has raised my arm hairs and made me feel like I had to shake off the creepiness the most was the recent:

Spoiler

"Take care, Lumen." You're thinking the whole time he's leaving the message, "does he know who he's talking to?" Then the payoff line in his casual, almost detached manner is just nerve wracking.

That doesn't sound very exciting at all to me.

Why wouldn't the kids go to live with their grandparents instead of having someone that isn't related to them be their sole guardian? Dexter is being reasonable in doing that because astor has a problem with him. I really don't think theres really anything wrong with how that was handled.

I like the season we've gotten. It's a hell of a lot more exciting and intense then any other season. I really like lumen and dexter since this last episode. It would've been REALLY annoying to see astor go at it with Lumen and Dexter all season long. The nanny doesn't strike me as annoying, shes been in like less than 10 minutes worth of scenes in the whole 10 hour season so far.


Also, harrison is a direct connection to how dexter was born in blood. the whole point is to see if harry was right in treating dexter like a monster since he is capable of other things. watching the kid grow up will be more important than watching some heartbroken kids deal. saying throw the kid out is like making ritas death complete cheap and just a shocking incident. If you feel that way you are completely overlooking the shows roots.

Why wouldn't the kids stay with a man that has been more or less raising them for years, and instead go with two old people that may be blood relatives; but they barely know.

It doesnt make sence that they went with them becuase Astor has a problem. Astor has a problem becuase the writers wanted an ecsuse for the kids to be off the show.

 

[Seditionary]

Who says they barely know their grandparents? I don't know man..either one is possible. Yeah dexter has been more or less raising them. im thinking less than more personally. I doubt Rita had much of a plan for her death about such an arrangement. Astor has had issues with dexter for quite sometime. I also don't think the grandparents thing is permanent. If your mother was killed in your house Im sure you would wanna take off for a bit anyways.

ugh..the internet.
