They better come up with a good fucking explanation for why
she went to the church at the exact moment he was killing
Travis. This is not nitpicking, this is a very credible gripe.
So, I better not have a bunch of Dexter fanboys and girls
questioning why I watch the show. I love Dexter, it's been
one of my favorite shows for years (and even in it's worst
season it's better than 90% of garbage on TV) but, c'mon
maaaaaan, when shit gets sloppy/lazy, people should have a
right to criticize.

I mean, we have a show that managed to (apparently) be a
gazillion times better than the book it's based on (I haven't
read the book but all I hear is about how terrible it is
compared to the show). It has been a good show, in my opinion,
because of the details. However, the last 2 seasons have been
extremely careless with all those inconvenient little details
that make us love Dexter's serial-killing-ninja-cop badassery.

Regarding this notion of "suspending belief", what distinguishes
great shows/movies/etc from the good ones is how they make the
process of "suspending belief" natural to the manner in which
the story is told. I do not simply believe that you can ask
your audience to just "suspend belief" without creating a world
where that suspension makes sense. For example, David Blaine
is a great illusionist because he makes us believe he can do
other-worldly shit like levitation. Your pedophile uncle is
a shitty magician because when he says "Look! I got your nose!",
you know it's really just his retarded thumb between his fingers.
