Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

LOL -- And Dexter is not?

I love Dexter, amazing show and a all-time great for me, but sometimes you have to suspend realism when watching. Geez, just based on the totality of the show: Ice Truck Killer, them finding all the bodies in the harbor and labeling it the Bay Harbor Butcher case, Trinity, Jordan Chase's sh!+s and giggles clan, Miguel Prado and his dealings... how many murderers and serial killers just relocate to Miami? What's going on with the rest of the country? Who the hell really wants to live there?

Add to that the comical police department; yeah, how a garbage truck just 'may' have messed up the cooling system in the storage room for the butcher's bodies, how Doakes was a member of that department, and from a media perspective et., he's the one at fault, yet he had issues with Dexter, and Dexter also involved in Trinity murders (his wife, made the papers), and he's a star analyst at the busiest Police department in America...you would think Dex is a celebrity and known across the country...

But, yeah...I can see how Sopranos got ridiculous, too.

Of course Dexter did and still is ridiculous at times. Season 5 for one has so many plot holes in it it's absurd. I'm not too blind a fanboy to realize it is a silly show at times.

- Bathroom kill in episode 1.

- Dexter staying in the room next to Cole Harmon. Cole disappearing and no one connects the dots?

- Dexter and Boyd Fowler being in the hospital together. The medics didn't check their IDs and check them into the hospital? There's no record?

- Jordan Chase's cell records would show an incoming call from Dexter moments before he disappeared (when Chase was Killed).

- Quinn. He knows Dexter killed Liddy. He has to or he is one big dummy.

- Emily Birch's crime scene. Dexter was walking and flopping around the whole scene. Phone records between Lumen and Emily, and Lumen and Dexter.

- The red car that Dexter crashes at Camp Jordan. He stole it from the lot by Liddy's crime scene and smashed it at Camp Jordan, which would be crawling with cops in an hour (according to Deb). There's no link to Liddy's crime scene, Camp Jordan, and the car?

- Using his real name to call county records and look up Eugene Greer property holdings to find Camp Jordan.

-Lumen. I can't believe Deb didn't figure out she was #13 and Dexter was helping her. She was staring it right in the face. Dexter did say his sister has a blind spot when it comes to him, but for real?

That is all ridiculousness.

And this was when the writers got lazy or just really stupid. I really didn't like series 5 for these reasons and I thought series 6 was an improvement up until episode 7. The show has new writers now I believe. Hall has said he won't do another unless he gets paid more, I reckon he just thinks the writing sucks.

I agree. Season 5 is the worst writing in all the series IMO.Clyde Philips left the show after season 4, and it has fallen a bit since. Scott Buck is heading Season 6 and is doing a good job IMO. I am enjoying Season 6 way more then Season 5.

If they're paying him millions of dollars per season, do you think he gives a ____ if the writing sucks?

Depends what his mentality is like. Some actors take great pride in their roles. How many times do you hear an actor say ' if the script is good then I'll be back or I'll play the part' but I guess script could be code word for money.

It's going to be hard for him to have a career after Dexter I think. He will always be typecast as Dexter, just like the cast of Seinfeld and their curse. If I were him, I'd take the money and run.

Bryan Cranston could have very easily been typecast as the silly dad after Malcolm in the Middle but he was very careful with the roles he selected and was cast as Walter White in Breaking Bad, winning 3 Emmy awards in a row.

Michael C. Hall comes off as being very intelligent in interviews and has done some theatre acting, I have a good feeling he will do alright after Dexter. He could probably do some Broadway until he finds another good role. Although with that being said I do want Dexter to keep going.

Season 5 was a big mess but I liked Lumen as a character. The Tony Robbins wannabe was a stupid heavy. Deb letting her unseen perp (dex) go was also a big "no f-cking way" moment.

I also wasn't a fan of season 3. I didn't buy into the idea of Dex trusting Jimmy Smits on that level.

 

[Morbach]

I love Dexter but thats a silly statement.



another example would be The Sopranos.

Just personal opinion. Id rather watch dexter than any other show.

After seeing Biney at the end of the ep. 2weeks ago, the anticipation did not match the actual viewing. Anti-climactic...

Exactly. They left the last episode off with a fanboy drool inducing cliffhanger and then didn't really deliver considering it was all wrapped-up in one episode.

I've been a huge fan of Dexter since season 1. Seasons 1, 2 and 4 are EPIC in my opinion. I really don't expect those seasons to be topped, but I still do enjoy the show very much and watch it every week without fail. But, I do have to admit that this seaon of The Walking Dead blows this season of Dexter away - I've been more impressed with that show each week watching it after Dexter. Those are the only 2 shows I really watch and I gotta give the edge to Walking Dead this season.

I'm not going to compare the quality of the seasons, I mean, they were all made by different teams. It seems like this new guy is making a show with a sitcom kinda feel.

I've found that the show kinda wanders around for the first few episodes but starts to get really tense towards the end, so right now I'm just kinda waiting for it to get good. :/

Even with the Trinity storyline, we just followed him for 5 or 6 eps, and then once the storyline pointed towards Dex offing him, that's all I wanted to see and had to wait for 3 or 4 eps for the payoff. This show has kinda become like House in the sense that you know what's going to happen EVERY time, you know House is going to make the wrong diagnosis for 30 minutes then when there's 5 minutes left in the show, he'll have an epiphany and BOOM, they solve the case and save a life. In Dexter, he's gonna follow the killer around for 8 episodes, track him down, assume a fake ID to get all friendly with the killer and then take him to the kill room. In that sense the show has become predictable. At this point, it's pretty much a given that Dex will track down Travis and say "Hey, I need you to restore this ancient manuscript in this shady old house I live in, can you come over late at night and help me with it??". . . STAB!!!
