Shit's getting real, and Dexter is in danger again. I'm excited.

Sep 27th 2010
10

Sep 27th 2010
11
that shit was dumb as fuck
Sep 27th 2010
15
I slightly didn't like it
Sep 27th 2010
12
I liked it, I mean most season openers aren't heaters
Sep 27th 2010
13
agreed on astor
Sep 27th 2010
14
It became painfully clear to me that Dex was by far and away the stronge...
Sep 28th 2010

RE: I liked it, I mean most season openers aren't heaters
Sep 28th 2010
19
      She was furious when they told her she was getting killed off
Sep 28th 2010
21
That was the most depressing episode of a TV show I have ever seen
Sep 27th 2010
16
Deb is annoying period.
Oct 06th 2010
36
meh. I wasn't impressed.
Sep 27th 2010
17
u cant honestly expect the whole season to be like this ep?
Sep 28th 2010
18
they can't exactly sweep this whole thing under the rug, right?
Sep 28th 2010
22
      The season preview made it clear that's not gonna be the focus...
Sep 28th 2010
23
           That's good to hear.
Sep 29th 2010
25
Yeah, I was kinda disappointed.
Sep 29th 2010
26
      They pretty much had to, no?
Sep 29th 2010
27
           Yeah, they did but some of it felt heavy handed.
Sep 30th 2010
28
Quinn definitely hooked up with MVP in Miami this summer right?
Sep 29th 2010
24
They took the easy way out with the kids
Oct 04th 2010
29
Aster
Oct 04th 2010
30
yeah Aster is fucking awful.
Oct 06th 2010
33
      lol yes. with JUST her inside the house.
Oct 08th 2010
39
Better than last week
Oct 04th 2010
31
RE: Dexter - Season 5
Oct 05th 2010
32
I agree
Oct 06th 2010
34
      again, a very wise decision to 'kill' the kids.
Oct 11th 2010
44
I imagine this season being difficult to write
Oct 06th 2010
35
Okay so far
Oct 06th 2010
37
The police scenes without Dexter are terrible
Oct 08th 2010
38
Well, I think this Kyle Butler stuff will make the show interesting...
Oct 08th 2010
40
about elliot
Oct 09th 2010
41
what's the deal w/ the creepy Latina (uniformed) cop?
Oct 09th 2010
42
EXACTLY what I was thinking... lol
Oct 11th 2010
45
but wouldn't that be too predictable?
Oct 11th 2010
46
fuck everything you just said.
Oct 12th 2010
52
I'ma give them a few more weeks, but at this pace
Oct 11th 2010
43
"You should be polishing his lance..."
Oct 11th 2010
48
I think ppl are spoiled cuz of the pace of how last season ended
Oct 12th 2010
50
I completely agree! Also, last night's episode picked things up big time...
Oct 19th 2010
55
i love your continued usage of 'anhell'...lol.
Oct 27th 2010
80
why oh why Julia Stiles?
Oct 11th 2010
47
Damn, I thought that looked like her
Oct 13th 2010
53
I've always had a mini crush on her.
Oct 18th 2010
54
Shit... Didn't even realize that was her.
Oct 19th 2010
59
she looks a little bit like charlize theron in 'monster'
Oct 19th 2010
60
On: The bitchassedness of Sgt. Martinez
Oct 12th 2010
49
eh, looks like things might pick up
Oct 12th 2010
51
OK, I finally give a shit.
Oct 19th 2010
56
Yeah, the ending of the last episode has me caring
Oct 19th 2010
57
I wonder if she's playing him though
Oct 19th 2010
58
      That's what I'm thinking
Oct 19th 2010
61
           I have a feeling some sort of relationship is going to come of this
Oct 19th 2010
62
                yeah, seems like they'll be boning
Oct 19th 2010
63
                     RE: What about Maria and the I.A. guy?
Oct 22nd 2010
64
                          that's what *I* wanna know.
Oct 25th 2010
66
                          Ok, upon further investigation, nah, she was lying bcuz of the sting
Oct 26th 2010
69
lol @ the baby dropping dime on Harrison at Mommy & Me...
Oct 25th 2010
65
If Dex and Lumen hook up, I hope they don't conveniently forget that...
Oct 25th 2010
67
Okay, I wasn't sure if Rita was a rape victim or not
Oct 26th 2010
68
RE: Okay, I wasn't sure if Rita was a rape victim or not
Oct 26th 2010
76
I also like how the writers forgot about her OTHER husband.
Oct 26th 2010
70
A show about a detail oriented serial killer that loses track of details...
Oct 26th 2010
75
It was just to illustrate to Dexter that everyone has secrets...
Oct 27th 2010
79
      I got the message, but it just seemed like a big character thing to dism...
Oct 27th 2010
82
yea this kinda pissed me off that it went unexplained completely
Oct 26th 2010
78
Somehow I don't think they're gonna get romantically involved...
Oct 26th 2010
71
this is the impression i got too
Oct 26th 2010
72
i think it's more of him wanting to save/help somebody...
Oct 27th 2010
81
So did this pass muster?
Nov 29th 2010
138
that Latina cop
Oct 26th 2010
73
did you see how she was jiggling, coming out of that house?
Oct 26th 2010

Nov 04th 2010

           and how about all the Luminol that Dexter sprayed all over the place? lo...
Nov 04th 2010

I agree with everything you said minus the Dexter/Lumen story
Nov 05th 2010
102
ayo, masuka's re-telling of the crime was GOAT
Nov 04th 2010
91
I almost died laughing at that scene!
Nov 04th 2010
93
i've never gotten tired of masuka
Nov 04th 2010

Dec 06th 2010

I just finished season 4 tonight. This show just seems to get better and better. No drop off in quality whatsoever. I figured they would have run out of serial killings of the week ideas, but this show keeps going.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

... Kind of a slow starter, especially considering how last season ended, but this looks like a great season -- although hopefully Quinn chasing Dexter won't end up being a rehash of Doakes vs. Dex. This has to be the second to last season, I'd imagine, with Debra vs. Dexter being the closing storyline of S6.

8. "i was waiting all year for it!"
In response to Reply # 7


  

          

This was a good episode. It was such an incredibly sad ending for S4 and I was dying to know how Rita's death would be handled...for some reason I thought he wouldn't necessarily report it to law enforcement, since he was dealing with Trinity...and his feelings of guilt.

I don't like this whole Quinn & Debra affair...actually I dont like Quinn. Its hard to tell where his allegiances are. I thought this might turn into that following and stalking Dexter like Doakes did. Hope not. I have a feeling its not going to be like that, the writers are too good. Just when I think its going to go one way, it goes the other way. Expect the unexpected.

What do you feel about Dexter just going right back into killing?

No way he could not report it...it's his wife. He woulda been all types of guilty if she just 'disappeared'.

Now that you've pointed this out...I wouldn't be surprised if Quinn follows Dex around and does the OPPOSITE of Doakes. Quinn could figure out that Dex kills serial killers and gives him an 'atta boy' for it so long as he's ridding the streets of creeps. Quinn might be the type to not care. I mean it makes perfect sense that Dex could do it given his profession...he's even better suited to do it than a cop. I could see Quinn backing off after Dexter admits he killed trinity and trinity killed Rita cuz of his pursuit of him.

>What do you feel about Dexter just going right back into
>killing?

I think he needed to do it...therapy. He's only normal (or comes off normal) when he has a steady kill stream.

Why not? Shit happens all the time...ppl end up missing forever.
I'm just going off the angle of Dexter's guilt...I just figured he might feel so awful about it he'd try to cover up his mess aka letting Trinity live long enough to murder his wife.

>Now that you've pointed this out...I wouldn't be surprised if

That's a possible outcome, and certainly wouldn't be expected. Maybe Quinn has some skeletons in his closet too...meaning, maybe he's dark like Dexter.

>>What do you feel about Dexter just going right back into

>
>I think he needed to do it...therapy. He's only normal (or

This is true, but I would think after what happened to his wife and family he'd take a break. Its interesting how his dad shows up as soon as he killed that trailer trash dude at the boat gas station. Its good he got some emotions out of his system. He needed to.

Its going to SUCK when the FBI and everyone starts assuming Dexter killed his own wife. But Dex isn't helping himself neither...showing up extra late to Rita's funeral, skipping out on the FBI interview...blurting out "It was me" when they came to the crime scene. I was like, geez dex!

- I hate how Deb has been written. And this thing with Quinn is eh. I don't like his character at all. It really made me miss Doakes.

- Finally Dexter showed some feeling. He needed to kill that guy. How I he gonna juggle raising kids, work, killing though tricky tricky.

- Deb knows something is off with Dexter.

- Fucking Kyle Butler. Even dex knows he messed up there.

So many loose pieces, so many threads that could lead to Dex getting his spot blown.

Especially on Dex they set the stage and things don't get moving until about ep 4.

- Deb sux, i've said it a million times, but I understand the characters importance to Dex. I'm not a huge fan of her and Quinn hooking up but I guess she needed some release and Quinn had the dick. Although I could got the rest of my life without seeing Deb injust her bra again NASTY.

- It took all episode, but Dex finally became a bit human. He flipped on ole boy and beat his brains in. His Eulogy was as humanistic as possible i mean, when he told the kids that their mother was dead he told them "i'm sorry for your loss like he saw the funeral guy do it and figured that's what people say, not realizing it wasn't right for him to say it. Great writing and perfect someone who isn't completely human.

- Astor can not hold a Sally Drapers dirty drawls, her scene where she was mad at Dex was tough because of Dex, but not because of her. Nice try though.

- I love how Julia Benz hit them for 10G's everytime they use her likeness on the show. I really was tired of this new braless, useless, Rita but it was great to see the beginning of their relationship.

actor on the show.

that was supposed to be a huge emotional scene and it was almost laughable how bad it was. You could almost say the lines before she did.

The other end of the spectrum of her acting is good, the happy reluctant kid thing and also the brooding untrusting youngster, but real emoting isn't her thing.

In response to Reply # 19


          

basically from that point on she decided she was holding the producers hostage any time they used her image or likeness.

So yea she wasn't ready to go, but the writers were clearly ready for her character to leave, and if you look at the evolution of the character her usefulness slowly started to slip away. She means more to Dex now dead than she had in many years alive (the pre boobjob) days.

Hurray for her for getting her money though.

Wow.

Looks like they're setting up the season two we never got in regards to Dex being the season-long target, only this time he can't just pin it on Doakes.

The "Deb has a foul mouth" thing has officially crossed into annoying territory.

In response to Reply # 22


  

          

... Obviously Rita's death and Dexter trying to raise the kids is going to be a thread through the season, but the focal point is going to be Quinn going rogue to investigate him and this apparent cult/ritual murder thing they teased (which I'm a bit skeptical about, to be honest) and how it all ties together.

I kinda expected Ep 1 to be exactly what it was, Dexter dealing with what happened, and his emotional reaction, or lack of. My guess is that lasts another half an ep, and the next plot begins to develop.

I must've said it 4 or 5 times outloud: "Shut the fuck up Aster!" everytime she would put Dexter down. What a bitch.

Anyway, as much as a brat she is, i hope the kids move back with him. Like his dad says, they are his savior.

I was hoping to see the aftermath of Angel's bar fight with that dude. Like was he just a hater or is LaGuerta really a sugarmama that he thinks Angel is being a golddigger, or something like that? lol.

That was hilarious when a chunk of brains fell on Masuka's shoulder.

32. "RE: Dexter - Season 5"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

im kinda sick of all the characters except for dexter. they're all so one dimensional, from their dialogue (la guerta being uber hispanic, to the blood guy being super geeky, to angel being super douchey, to deb being a potty mouth, etc.), to their wardrobe (can angel ever not wear a hat and a hawaiian shirt, can quinn ever dress for work and not a fucking nightclub).

dexter and the apparitions of his dad are the only ones who seem to be seriously written characters, the surrounding cast are like a clown college.

some of the guys he hunts are pretty cool (3rd rock from the sun dude being the best), and i guess the triviality of the "ensemble" lends more focus on the dexter vs whoever part of the show, but couldn't they at least try and develop those guys a little bit after 5 seasons?

pretend to be cats don't seem to know they limitations

I rarely care about any of their side plots. It's painfully obvious this year because Dexter's plot isn't so hot (so far) either. I'm sure things will heat up though now that they ditched the kids.

Particularly because Dex always had a play home to go back to. He always had Rita as an excuse an somewhat as a center. This season he doesn't have that, and it's tough to take the leap without that center.

I said this last season, LaGuerta and Anhell need to cease, its a bad storyline and Anhell was a much better character when he was attempting to be a great father instead of 2nd class, money spending husband to his Lt. Wife. There was no development to their fight about money all of a sudden he's a spender and she's a saver. Like can we get some build up not just show a bank statement and expect folks to fall in line? the over reaction on this show is world class and gets old quickly. The characters are irrational and not believably so.

Astor is not a great child actor, but Dex was cold as ice when he told "Oh Astor no one will notice you" DAGGER to a teenage girl, complete and utter dagger. She has no place to put all of her anger towards losing her mother so she projects it on Dex, it'll pass. Capt. Bowlcut (Cody) loves Dex and at somepoint will come back.

Quinn's personal thing against Dex is not good Tv we've already done this with Doakes, the only difference is now he's fucking Deb so yea there's that.

Deb needs to NEVER get naked again, and needs to stop saying fuck, either way i'm tired of it.

I'll continue watchin because I'm hooked, but damn.

37. "Okay so far"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

This has never been a show with much "heart" for me, my main draw is the dark humor and the whole 'How will Dexter get out of this one' appeal. Not feeling the emo stuff with the kids, it just doesn't have any weight to it. Whether that's on account of bad writing, bad acting, or just me not giving a fuck, I cannot say. I love the show, don't get me wrong, but it's never had a whole lot of depth to me.

Once the Quinnvestigation heats up, then the show will start rolling again. Even if it is a retread of the Doakes story, I love the cat and mouse aspect of this show. I'm sure the writers will toss in some curveballs though, they haven't had a bad season yet.

38. "The police scenes without Dexter are terrible"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I knew that all the other characters weren't well developed but when he's not in those scenes it just becomes painfully obvious. Hopefully as the season goes on they limit the time we have to live with their incredibly flat story lines on screen.

I'd rather watch Dexter buying groceries and playing Mr. Mom than see Deb do anything.

Oh, and the kids. I know it's tough to lose your Mom and all but I don't really care too much. These first episodes really had the feel of a show that might be close to the downslide but I'm hanging on and having faith that they'll pull something out.

...once the feds start interviewing Trinity's family.
It should be interesting to see how Dexter tries to
keep the cops off his scent. I wonder if he will have
contact with the family again?

41. "about elliot"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

i hope that some how some way dexter pins this kyle butler stuff on elliot. i'm only a couple minutes in on the second episode but the whole time i'm watching the kitchen scene where elliot delivers dex's mail i'm thinking that they are fairly similar physically in the face. similar enough that if you had a not so great composite sketch of dex you might mistakenly choose elliot.

of course it would be hard for this to work since lithgow's fam knows what dex looks like in person, but still it's a thought.

The one working Deb's "murder/suicide." It looks like she's involved somehow.

I hope they're going somewhere with this subplot, because it seems kinda weak.

Things better start happening soon, because as it is i'm not really into this.

Lageurta and Anhell are still boring even though he beat the shit outta some dude. It's pointless and at the end Anhell might end up getting fired, but really who cares he's a 2 dimensional character. At least Vince is a funny 2 dimensional character.

I'm sort of getting bored, maybe throwing Julia Stiles into the fray will help pick things up, because right now it's not looking good.

50. "I think ppl are spoiled cuz of the pace of how last season ended"
In response to Reply # 43


  

          

Last season started VERY slow and picked up around episode 4-5.

You have to give the season time. And unlike with last year, not much time has passed since the end of last season (I think last year picked up like 6 months after Dex killed the DA dude). They pretty much picked up where they left off so there had to be some development. I mean, they've had what, 10-15 serial killers on the show. Would Miami have that many back-to-back-to-back?

I like the dynamic that Dex still feels empty when he kills the roadkill sanitation guy and how he's getting sloppy (and now discovered) by the victim.

-Victim
-Quinn on his trail
-Dex searching for normalcy but is feeling hollow due to his emotional growth (something he didn't have or was percieved not to have as the show began)
-Deb's growning wrecklessness due to her emotional losses
-The inter-office dating
-Creepy hispanic chick cop (who likely has something to do with the religious murders)

LOTS of good plot lines that will boil to a head at some point this season. I'd say we got 2-3 more eps before the crap hits the fan and things speed up.

...she's a rape victim. One of my biggest pet peeves about
season 1 was how they introduced Rita as a damaged woman
who was both raped and beaten by her husband. After they
introduced her ex-husband, he suddenly turned into a former
crack-head who used to hit his wife but we were supposed
to feel sympathy for him because he was trying to change.
The whole "he raped her" (that's why she couldn't have sex
with Dex in the beginning) thing became a none issue.

In the first season, she wouldn't sleep with Dexter because
her ex raped her and she was traumatized. Once the ex-husband
got introduced, the show kept bringing up how he used to do
drugs and beat her but they dropped the whole rape thing
altogether. Obviously, they dropped the rape issue because
it would be hard to make the sympathetic character that
they tried to make out of him. The dynamic between Dexter
and a rapist would have been different than the Dexter vs.
super-douche-bag-guy that we saw.

... I think Dex views her more as a daughter. His relationship with her might end up helping him with Astor in some way. I dunno, it's hard for me to imagine them hooking up at this point.

83. "Episode 6 was some epic level Dexter tension!"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Its a wonder how impatient people are. So many
people bitched about how slow and uneventful this
season was a few weeks ago but forget that the
the first 3 or 4 episodes of every season have
started at a slow pace.

I'm really enjoying this relationship (whether
romantic or not) between Dexter and Lumen. The
common thread throughout the entire episode was
renewed relationships between three couples: Angel
and Laguerta agreeing to try harder, douchey Quinn
and Deb professing their lo..uh intense like for
each other (should be interesting to see how
Quinn's shady investigation of Dexter pans out)
and Dexter and Lumen finding a new found admiration
for each other (given the other relationships are
romantic, I'll take it as a hint that there will
be some spark between Dex and Lumen).

How intense was that warehouse scene? Its crazy
how I know, 100%, that Dexter is going to find a
way out of this crazy predicament, yet, even with
this knowledge I was on the edge of my seat. By
the way, I would like to send a special 'thank
you' to Misuka's comic relief (his recreation of
what happened in the warehouse had my laughing
my ass off). After that sensory overload of
tension between Dex, Lumen, Seran Wrap guy, the
rapist, the fastly approaching homocide squad,
plus the Nanny and his kid, I needed a good
'LMAO' to calm my nerves. That entire scene may
be one of the most tense sequences that I have
experienced in the entire series.

through him in there.

lol

I was a lil irked they didn't reconcile the phone call dude made before Dex broke his neck though. But I'm sure it'll come up next week.

But yeah, tension was the overall feeling in this one.

I'm enjoying this season. It's not going at all like you'd expect so that's a good thing. There haven't been tons of fireworks but the misdirection is awesome.

88. "Can someone explain something to me?"
In response to Reply # 86


  

          

So about the two dead guys in the warehouse. Dexter
broke the rapist's neck and strangled Seran Wrap guy
to death. However, the crime scene was staged so that
Seran Wrap guys shot Rapist while Seran Wrap guy was
ashpyxiated (but Rapist was tied up). So, obviously
there are inconsistencies between what was staged and
what the official causes of death actually are. In a
case like this, do police still perform an autopsy or
do they consider the causes of death "obvious" based
on what the scene looked like? It seems like this
circumstance could potentially still come back to bite
Dexter in the ass.

87. "Something's still off, though..."
In response to Reply # 83


  

          

... I wasn't one of the people complaining about the pace of the season earlier, but I did expect things to get moving at this point and it still feels stalled. Maybe I just haven't connected with Dex-Lumen yet -- I'm much more interested in where the Quinn-Peter Weller stuff's going to go. But if that ends up with Dex conveniently getting out of a tight spot, with Quinn getting killed off a la Doakes, it's gonna feel unsatisfying. This show can really only sustain itself for one more season after this one, so they're gonna have to speed up the inevitable Dex v. Deb showdown.

That's another problem for me, too -- a lot of this stuff feels rehashed from previous seasons: a co-worker suspicious about Dexter; Dexter trying to balance fatherhood with his desire to kill; and now Dexter possibly having a murdering partner. Based on the tease of next week's episode, I feel like Comic Book Guy: Excuse me, I believe Dexter already HAD a partner, and we all saw how THAT turned out.

I do agree about Masuka; he always brings the goods. We really need a "Masuka After Dark" spinoff.

89. "This has been the worst season yet so far"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

there's not many good storylines going on.

quinn / deb - this is just plain stupid and annoying.

laguerta / angel - i cringe when they are on screen together. not compelling at all.

the santa muerte killer - this should be the focus of the season, but dexter isnt even involved. he's tied up with lumen and her issues.

dexter / lumen - this would be OK if lumen wasnt as dumb as a pile of bricks. instead, its just become annoying after the latest episode. shes all riled up on emotions and acting highly irrationally- and because of this, Dex has to get caught up in her bullshit. The problem is I dont care for Lumen. She was dumped on us earlier this season and the only vested interest we have in her is her ties to Dexter if she gets caught. Thats not a very compelling reason to make her the forefront of the season and the main story arc of the season thus far.


coming off the incredible previous season, I knew they would never top it.... but this season is just a mess.

Anything that doesn't involve Dexter just grinds this show to a halt. It was bad before, but never this bad. The Batista/LaGuerta storyline is the worst thing this show has ever done.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

The one he hired to dig dirt on Dexter?
Or you think that guy might try to kill Quinn?

I think this will help add more life to this season. Quinn is so stupid for hating on Dexter in the first place, but hey, if he wants drama, he's obviously going to get some.

I really don't like Lumen. She better not be replacing Rita or even the babysitter. This girl is a lot like DA Miguel Prado, someone who has some scores to settle and likes to kill people. She can't be trusted.

108. "this may sound random but...something irks me bout the nanny"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

wouldn't be surprised if some wild shit develops with her. and, this is guna sound nuts, but i had some lucid thought when i was stoned that she is somehow connected with Lilah (crazy bitch from season 2), that's a stretch but just a thought anyways. i do share others reservations bout this season. definitely a bit of a drop-off from the previous. i think there are a lot of cool stories to tell and roads to take, it just hasn't been handled with the same level of finesse as season 1 and 2 (still the two best seasons of the show) and 4.

some things:

*i HATE Deb as a character, and i dislike the actress sumthn fierce. and i have a problem with anyone on OKP saying they'd smash or find her stick figure body attractive. goddamn i shudder whenever i see her in lingerie. not to mention her non-stop condescending attitude toward EVERYONE, from the way she talks to her own brother to the way she talks to non-English speaking locals. what a fucking bitch. and WATCH her eventually turn on her own brother (yes, adopted, but brother nonethless).
*Angel & LaGuerta started off cute enough but has descended into soap opera bullshit. they've turned Angel into a bitch and LaGuerta into a fucking child. separate these two IMMEDIATELY.
*Quinn is one of the few cooler characters left. i loved his smooth introduction into the series, and how he's become a regular. if the writers don't absolutely SUCK, they'll make sure he doesn't actually become "the new Doakes" and end up a corpse.
*i will always love Masuka. he consistently gets the good lines, and he's a good tension breaker.
*Lumen...well, it's kinda hard to judge Julia's acting with this character cos she's been a victim of severe repeated rape. i know how *i* feel whenever she loses grip on her emotions or gets annoying or acts stupidly. i feel like i DON'T care about her revenge, and i don't give a shit about her story arc. but then i think, ok, i've had friends who've been rape victims, some more severe than others, and there is NO telling how someone who's been thru that shit is gonna act or react when trying to put a normal life back together. in Lumen's case, she's guna act even more fucked up cos she's got the bloodlust. soooo i dunno. i can see a nice lil r/ship developing b/w em. i just want Lumen to straighten up and trust Dex and stop fucking whining. i didn't see anyone else comin to save her ass from Boyd's, let alone kill one of the muthafuckas who was raping/torturing her. show some fucking respect at least, dang.
*Quinn + Deb = FUCKING VOMIT lol. tell me Quinn can't do better than skeletor. he was fukn killin it at the nightclub. if i had his looks...dude.
*that Latina detective who helped out Deb with the Santa Muerte case, is FUCKING.HAWT. holy crap. give her more screen time PLEASE.

i guess sofar it's been a pretty aimless season. i think as fans we got spoiled with season 1 and 2, cos those at least had epic tension in almost every ep. that's the signature Dex style the show has yet to live up to, with the closest being season 4. but thus far, i would rank the season as 4th best behind 1, 2 & 4, n season 3 was probly the weakest so i'm puttin that last.

that's all i got.

i def think that's there's something with the nanny, but i don't think it will tie into lyla just for the simple fact that it would be too many story lines to carry for one season. plus she's irish, lyla was from england i think.

i suppose the writers have done a good job if you hate her that much. yes, she needs to keep her clothes on when on screen.

i don't mind angel much, but la guerta is so annoying and stupid.

nah, i think he's gonna off that other detective he hired and then he'll have his own secret and then leave dex alone.

cosign. never gotten tired of him.

that blonde all over him was fine.

this will sound gay but the more clothes she took off the less hot i thought she was. in the first couple eps when she was in uniform or civilian clothes i thought she was amazing. then this last ep where she was in that slinky dress she has these linebacker shoulders and arms. that personally is a big turn off. still hot, but a little less so.

In response to Reply # 108
Mon Nov-15-10 05:02 PM by OldPro

  

          

You're one step away from pedophilia if you think that's what sexy is

For the most part I can't stand the character either but I did like the exchange she had with Dex about whether or not some people deserve to die. I kept thinking this is one of the few conversations they've had where you felt there was any sort of real bound between the two.

And in the end I have a feeling Quinn is going to have Dexter's back.

In response to Reply # 112


  

          

felt like she could possibly almost maybe understand where Dex is coming from when she (eventually) find out who he really is and what he gets up to at night. but i still think she'd hunt him or give him up to the law.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

She did Debra dirty. SO WRONG.
We shouldn't be disliking Deb, Lumen, Quinn etc cause Maria is the bitch.

I was hoping Lumen would've ran off with her ex fiance or whoever he is, but i had a feeling that she wasn't going to leave dexter's life that easily.

I really wish Quinn would stop or kill that P.I. he investigated. He's super obnoxious and obviously isn't goint to take 'no.'

Oh and I liked the opening scene when Masuka said they were all getting bent over and fucked by LaGuerta. lol

between LaGuerta and Monzone, but I think LaGuerta is jealous of Deb to some extent...afterall she's like the youngest female detective. LaGuerta also just hates on other females period. lol

lol most likely.

Angel seems to fall in love easily, and when he does, its not with his head. With this Deb betrayal and that bar fight he had over her, he's getting a good dose of reality now.

Do you think its possible that they are setting
up Dexter's demise already? On the one hand, I
hope the show continues on but, on the other hand,
it doesn't look like they can do very much else
with it in the future.

and would also possibly be the final one. i don't think they're necessarily setting up Dex's downfall just cos the PI saw him dumping stuff into the ocean. dude's been in tighter spots before and gotten out. that PI's gonna cop it real soon i rekn.

idk, might be nice to see Dex get caught only for him to end up acquitted because he is so meticulous about disposing evidence. Plus a trial story arc would be a nice change of pace of from the constant cat and mouse stuff they do week to week.

130. "ASTER"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

WAOW. More reason to hate the brat. It sucks that Dexter has to bend over backward and then some to win her over. I'm going to have to assume something happened to Aster back when her real dad was around, for her to be such a punk and treat Dexter this way, otherwise the writers were just bored and decided to make her a bitch on purpose with no background info. Obviously she's a troubled child, especially now that both her real parents are dead, and her grandparents aren't providing whatever tlc she needs, but da bitch had something up her butt from the get go.

Its really funny that everyone thinks Dexter and Lumen have something going on. I do find myself rooting for her more now, and that she isn't as obnoxious. But I really don't think there should be anything romantic going on. She's just not his type! Of course they have vendettas that they share and are both damaged but she just seems way too young for him.

And I don't know what some of you guys dislike Deb so much or find her really repulsive. Yeah, she's kinda skinny, and a lil awkward looking at first, but I think she's cute (no lesbo). I've also gotten used to her cursing habits, she's actually good at using them to express her feelings really well.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

... I was behind by a few episodes and caught up last night. I'm now invested in the show again. I'm just hoping that this isn't a season where everything wraps up nicely in the end for Dexter -- as I've said before, Season 6 has to be the last one or the show is in danger of REALLY falling off, so I feel like this one needs to conclude with Deb having her suspicions raised about Dex, as that's the only logical conclusion to the series.

That point in the season when all the elements start coming into place.
This was a great episode.
Finally.

I usually don't watch the preview of next week, but it looks like the momentum maintains.
I enjoy liking this show more than I like tolerating it.

If these writers could have figured out how to make the first 6/7 episodes as awesome as the back end, this could have been one of the greatest shows...of all time.

I have a 400 year old chip on my shoulder.

Did Dexter ever receive that "all clear" call from his nanny?

144. "My theory on the resolution"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

So, I doubt we're gonna do more than this season of romantic Batman and Robin, but... it is possible I guess. I have two theories, one with Lumen joining and one without her.

If Julia Styles gets to stay on and we do keep doing Mr & Mrs Serial Killer, Deb'll find out that the Vic on DVD #1 wan't the first, and Dex and Lumen will set up ol' girl, through the blood vial on Jordan's chain. Some sort of "We were looking for #13 as the vigilante, when it should've been the first!"

If Julia ain't comin' back, she's gonna take the fall for Dexter. I hope they don't kill her. Because that shit is getting played out. I could see her just going to jail for the crimes and keeping her mouth shut.

If they do off yet another person who knows Dexter's secret, she's gonna kill herself. Or ask Dexter to kill her.

In response to Reply # 144


          

I think Lumen could take the fall. She wouldn't do any real jail time. What jury would really convict her for what she did after what was done to her and the other 12. I know I wouldn't. She could plead insanity and walk.

Deb's starting to flip a bit and become sympathetic towards a "vigilante" when in season two it was the Bay Harbor Butcher killing murderers she thought he should be caught and prosecuted to the fullest.

What I'M not clear on is: doesn't Lumen have BILLS? I mean, how can she just, live in Miami, all this time, with no job, and no means to support herself? r her parents rich, and supplying her w/ a limitless credit card, or something?

In response to Reply # 147


  

          

that the private investigator hit on purpose, and she had to be living somewhere before Boyd abducted her. From the sound of it, she has been on permavacation from WI or whereever TF she comes from for AWHILE, according to her ex-fiance. She did not even know that she had a new niece! That's 9 mos. gone right there. Where was all this money coming from to sustain her, before she met Dex?

HOW exactly does everything tie into Jordan's philosophy? I mean, they just rape, torture and murder women as a way of . . . personal fulfillment? How exactly do his friends buy into this?

I mean it'd be one thing if they were just a bunch of sick fucks, but they believe this is all some sort of higher calling or a way of life or something. How does THAT work © ICP

Also, why couldn't Jordan hook Boyd up with a better job if they were that close?

It's like they have one script that they retype every season with different words.

I ask myself all the time why I still watch it? I guess it's because I kinda like some of the characters, and the actors who play them.

I'm actually enjoying this season, and a couple of things that
I thought were predictable did, in fact, go in another direction.
I'd discuss them but i'm tired and need to go to bed lol.

>It's like they have one script that they retype every season
>with different words.

Despite what i said above, though, I know where you're coming
from. A couple of scenes last night reminded me of the whole
Bay Harbour Butcher (like Dexter trying to foil Chase's set
up before the cops get on the right trail) and that whole
conflict with Liddy was pretty much the same as the Doakes
confrontation, except re-written to seem fresh. BUT, I try
not to dwell on it as long as I'm still enjoying the show.

>I ask myself all the time why I still watch it? I guess it's
>because I kinda like some of the characters, and the actors

So, you think they'll kill off Lumen?

but maybe not.

part of me thinks that Deb won't find out the truth about Dexter. The previews for the finale seem that way, but those things are always chopped and taken out of context.

however, if deb knew, i think it could definitely extend the life of this show. i mean it can go in more directions. she could either be really cool with it or completely disgusted, which would be interesting...dexter could end up being locked up or on the run, etc etc.

In response to Reply # 163


  

          

... Granted, I hope it's not something that happens on the last or second-to-last episode of the series but maybe halfway through next season (which I still suspect and partway hope will be the last). Because honestly, where could the show go from there? It's the logical conclusion.

I'm digging the way this season has righted itself after a ho-hum beginning (though I'd still place it probably at the bottom of the five seasons so far), but it's going to be annoying if everything just wraps up conveniently for Dexter yet again. If this season doesn't end with Deb having at least a smidgen of suspicion about Dex, I'm going to be disappointed.

the fact that he's gone on this long without getting outed as a serial killer is starting to wear thin, and we're seeing similar situations play themselves out in different ways. but really, isn't that what WOULD happen in Dex's universe? i'd expect at some point there will always be another Doakes or Liddy poppin up to fuck him over. i think just seeing it play out as the audience is what may have some of u all hot n bothered in the pantaloons.

n since it's now been confirmed that season 6 is a lock, i don't see Deb finding out about Dex just yet. OR, if the show really had some melon sized balls, Deb would OUT Dex in the season finale and have the ENTIRE season 6 flow as one story, similar to how season 2 did. n im thinking put Dex on trial like sumone else suggested, have the spotlight on him, and in the end? ....HAVE HIM WALK AWAY SCOTT FREE. lol. make it so all the circumstantial obviously points to him, but he gets off on some technicality. and lumped in with that, his vigilante killings would all be revealed, there'd be public support for him, no one's really gonna want to see him fry for the stuff he's done.
well, the stuff relating to sickos n crims that he's offed, the innocents that got bodied along the way is another story.

In response to Reply # 167


  

          

Personally, I think I would kinda prefer it if the series ended without him being caught.

I'm just tired of the same scenarios over and over again:

-Dexter thinks he's found someone he can relate to and let in on his secret, but it doesn't go as planned. He learns nothing from it and will bond with another person next season
-Deb starts dating a guy but finds out that he's a creep
-Anytime two characters of opposite sexes are in close proximity, a sexual relationship must develop between them
-Someone gets close to uncovering Dex's secret but they end up dead at the last minute with all traces conveniently cleaned up
-Deb starts finding clues that should lead her to Dex's secret, but she inexplicably never follows through on them

and so on et cetera

The shit is just lazy writing. Nothing else.

It doesn't have to be Dexter getting found out, but shit... Just give me something different.

174. "why not change channels"
In response to Reply # 171


  

          

if you are so tired of Dexter?

Call me a simpleton but the (small) variations on the storylines still entertain me. Dexter kills people. That's the point of the show. I find it pretty exciting when he has to improvise, gets sloppy or almost gets caught. I mean if you want Dexter to take his killing to the next level, then watch Saw. If you want to see less killing, then you got pretty much 95% of whats on tv.

I'd like to see Deb grow more as a character, but she's a supporting role...and real change takes time.

Maybe its me. I like the characters.I like the show.

I hate when people use that "why don't you change channels" retort and I notice that you do it a lot when anybody criticizes a show you like.

You're as repetitive and unoriginal as Dexter is. lol

(the tone of this post is tongue-in-cheek, btw... but the basic sentiment is real)

168. "Showtime renews 'Dexter' for Season 6"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

http://www.stltoday.com/entertainment/television/gail-pennington/article_ce40c458-01b9-11e0-8d97-00127992bc8b.html

Ratings for "Dexter" have been so good this season that renewing it for Season 6 was "the easiest decision I’ve made since I got to Showtime," network boss David Nevins says. "Dexter," starring Michael C. Hall as a forensics expert who moonlights as a serial killer, is up 43 percent this season and scored the second-highest ratings of its run (after the shattering Season 4 finale) for the 10th episode of the current season.

Season 6 will go into production next spring, Showtime said, with a premiere expected in the fall.

As a "Dexter" fan, I think this has been a strong season, with Dexter trying to rebound from tragedy, raise son Harrison and keep up his work. But I'm not sure I can guess why ratings have been so impressive. What do you think? Is it the presence of Julia Stiles as his new partner in crime (so to speak), Lumen?

i mean i've been pushing dexter for a while and i know a few friends that only watched it because they've had every season on netflix streaming. once they gave it a chance they were hooked and tuned in for this season. maybe there's a lot of folks like that. it would make sense considering how quickly netflix streaming has been catching on in the last couple years.

i'd stake my thumbs on the idea that white women 18-35 are the fastest growing dexter viewers.

In response to Reply # 168


  

          

at least it was or me. so many people had told me how great it was that i caught up and am now watching season 5.

i was originally not that into it because of julia stiles, but i love this season. i like that he's chasing a rapist and not just a serial killer, i like that he's working with a victim and actually forging a relationship with someone based on his favorite past time, killing.

i kind of wish they would get more into his relationship with harrison. like some long, dark moments when he realizes that he either has to figure out a way to stop murdering people and just be a dad, or give up his kid and keep on killing. it seems like the fatherhood aspect of his life is just something he has to make time for, which he barely does cuz of the nanny and they don't show anyway.

i also like that they're getting away from the other cops, as i find them to be pretty one-dimensional and boring. deb having a little killer in her from the shooting was kinda cool. and quinn deciding that he's on team morgan and doesn't give a fuck about trying to catch dexter has been a nice touch this season, but i hate laguerta and angel. misuka is misuka, i love him as comedy relief, but that's about it.

I was thinking the nanny was going to be the one to finally out Dex. I don't really see what her purpose is otherwise other than to make sure Harrison is looked after. I thought the nanny was going to be a problem b/c Dexter can't kill innocent people.

Anyway, doesn't look like that will be happening at this point.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

... The group I was watching with was visibly tense during that scene with Deb confronting Lumen and Dex from behind the plastic, and I felt like they'd have her discover Dex finally (then make it so Lumen took the fall, as others were predicting), planting the seeds for her fully realizing who he is next season, but then it turned out like pretty much every other "Dexter" finale, with everything wrapping up perfectly for him.

As I've said multiple times, I can only imagine Dexter's premise lasting one more season before finally growing completely stale. It's generally a great show (although the season picked up toward the end, this was definitely the weakest so far) but its just about reached the end of its shelf life. I had hopes that the outcome of this season would be starting the path toward the conclusion, but it ended up being pretty much like all the others, where it seems like there will be little bearing on the next one.

I agree with basically everything you said, the only thing I can see carrying over from this season to the next is maybe now Quinn is on Dexter's 'side' but even that is questionable since the writers seem adamant about not having Deb find out about Dexter, at least not yet.

The show is still fun to watch every week but nearly everyone I talk to, including myself, is getting pretty tired of the same recycled plot lines. Next season should be the last for sure.

192. "thoughts:"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

finale coulda been better. i hate that just by knowing there's guna be a season 6 it ruined MOST of the suspense. even when Deb was on the verge of busting him, i kinda almost saw the resulting plastic-sheet convo happening before it happened.

and ima just say this one last time: I FUCKING HATE DEBRA MORGAN. and i realised it's just cos Jennifer Carpenter is an incredibly SHITTY actress. i hate that she's stuck on one vocal delivery, always talking like she's on the verge of tears. i don't GET it! lol. she never used to be this annoying in the first couple seasons. and i think that's one mistake the show made: giving her too much fucking screen time. i actually like where her character is headed by finally embracing the fabled n complicated 'gray area', cos it helps throw the whole Deb v Dex outcome into question. i just wish there was some OTHER actress doing it, cos if u re-watch this season, her performance is pretty pissweak.

Lumen pretty much annoyed the crap outta me all season (as harsh as that sounds, but tis the truth). LaGuerta was an immature bitch for MAJORITY of the season, and somehow in the last two eps is a fucking mother goose lookin after Deb n shit lol. i just don't know what these characters are doing anymore. and it seems like this show completely SUCKS at writing female characters, or any scene involving intimacy & r/ships between a man/woman couple.

i dont wanna sound like a broken record or anything, but if this show doesn't get back to a season 1 & 2 calibre (where it felt like each episode would build in intensity over the last, where each ep felt like a fucking MOVIE) then it'll be a shame. cos there's so many more dark places the show can go. and i keep hearing the same shit almost every season from fans: we see a trailer that looks like it has stuff in it that could potentially make Dex completely unhinged and unleash the full force of the Dark Passenger within, yet it never pans out. it's not just male bloodlust talking. Dex is our anti-hero, but how fucking cool would it be to see him completely embrace his natural self and rack up one HELL of a body count. i for sure thought with the death of Rita, it would pave the way for Dex to truly become the thing Harry kept trying to keep at bay & suppress. wrong yet again. and for all the badness Dex has in him, for all his smarts n cunning n shit, he falls for a blond bit? how many times we guna see this storyline played out til Dex realises (he shoulda realised LONG ago) that he can't have what others have.

it's cute that for the last few seasons we've been witnessing a certified serial killer trying to better himself...i just think that enough's ENOUGH. give Dex a reason to kill that goes beyond guilt and regret and noble revenge. NO MORE FUCKING TEAM-UPS. Dexter can only survive if he is ALONE. that's the path next season needs to take, otherwise we come dangerously close to jumping the frign shark by over-pushing the "Serial Killing Cop who is also a daddy" shtick.

i was right, we got premise fatigue. i am HOPING the next season will be the last, cos if it's for SURE the final season, then it at least gives me SOME hope that it won't be 'just ok'. it needs to be 'fucking unbelievable' like the first 2 seasons.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

about Lumen leaving. It seemed much more genuine and intense than when he discovered Rita's body. I felt really sad for Dexter, cause he was so hurt.

I thought the finale was great. They really had us thinking Deb was going to find out. I hope that the next season, Dexter does find a chick who's totally down for him, even if she's not into killing people.
And it would be cool if Deb knew Dexter killed ppl and was ok with it, since she is ok with Quinn possibly being a killer.
I will still glad that Lumen left. She was aiiite for one season but that'll do. lol

And if the show ends with Dexter being a one-man show, that's fine too. Its like who can you trust but yourself to do the job right anyway?

I can live with the whole Deb almost finds out shit but at least make it believable... ok so she let's the killers go but she let's them take the body too? And what about Dexter's flipped car? How did she not see it coming in? Even if she somehow missed it then the police would have found it once she called in her discovery of Chases dungeon. And what exactly was Chase's plan any way? Hope Dex is distracted by the ghost of his father and flip his car? Seriously wtf kinda writing is this? And don't even get me started at how easily Quinn walked once Dexter cleared him with the blood work... there were still the phone calls, surveillance equipment, etc.

I'm not as hell bent as some that want a major shift in the story but I do expect a story that makes sense.

Just because one of my boys does dumb shit... You call em on it and hope they don't do that shit again. I still find a lot to enjoy with the show but I can't just turn a blind eye when they wrap up a season like that. There were more plot holes than I could even remember when I posted this... since then I've thought of 2 or 3 more.

Deb never being suspicious that Lumen fit the "barrel girl" type

Dex having that knife ... did Jordan even bother searching him?

Deb firing a shot that had to go somewhere... how she explaining that when it's dug out of the wall?


I know you were just repeating what dude said to you but I just had to get all that out lol

It's not even just Kahlema, really... Dexter seems to have some hardcore psycho fans because I've been to other sites too, and they immediately attack anybody who criticizes the show's obviously lazy writing with the "if you don't like it, then why do you keep watching it!" defense...

In response to Reply # 201


  

          

alright bro you gone too far. i haven't even seen these other dexter message board/fan sites like you have and i said one thing and you'll calling me psycho.

to be fair, i can see why some of you guys are tired of the show. there is a lot of repetition with the storylines. maybe we've been spoiled with the previous seasons, especially season 4, being so suspense filled and climatic. perhaps they should've slowed the pace down a little bit entirely, like a slower but richer marinating. but hey, that's their style. this season definitely felt different. i don't know if it was the lack of deeper interpersonal relationships and variety (too much focused just on dexter/lumen and deb/quinn)...i would've liked to see more character development and insight with say, Masuka, or that latina deputy who was on the santa muerta case (what happened to that? I guess we'll hear more about it in season 6?)...i guess the season kind of had a shallowness to it. it started off really slow and accelerated, maybe too much, because it came off a bit rushed and sloppy.

And this was a great episode up until Deb decided to let them walk without knowing their identities. I thought it was kind of a cop out.

And Quinn just walks because of the bloodwork? That still doesn't explain the rest of that bullshit.

In response to Reply # 212


  

          

so i'd assume they were already separated when filming season 5 and it doesn't seem like it affected their roles.

from your post: "and ima just say this one last time: I FUCKING HATE DEBRA MORGAN. and i realised it's just cos Jennifer Carpenter is an incredibly SHITTY actress. i hate that she's stuck on one vocal delivery, always talking like she's on the verge of tears."

maybe she really was always on the verge of tears due to the break up. lol

216. "Dexter killed some dude because he was emo in the bathroom"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

And no one gave a fuck.

Lumen is just smelling dudes and realizing that they are who she thought they were. (Dexter explains it as a sixth sense people in trauma get)

Dan the Dentist picks up the phone and calls the motherfuckers while he's bleeding out.

The Nanny just up and took the damned baby to his grandparents in Orlando and is texting Dexter asking if he wants a Magician for the birthday party. This is the same woman who was upset when Dexter stayed too late.

Nobody gives a fuck about the Santa Muerte killers.

Ole girl became Detective and last we saw of her Deb was telling her she couldn't learn shit from her. *BAMF*

Liddy signs out surveillance equipment just by forging Quinn's signature.

Dexter stumbles onto all of this shit because of blood he finds in the back of a moving van. He traces it to Boyd and stumbles onto this.

It's just disappointing overall. I was so hyped coming into this season. My disappointment isn't tied to the formula either because the first four season worked, but this one was just bad on all counts. I didn't like a single episode. I want this show to be good, and I really think it can be but the writing is what hurt this season more than the premise.

217. "Dexter is a serial killer"
In response to Reply # 216


  

          

Whether the people he kills are bad or not he is illegally killing them so if want outrage for urinal guy, there really should be some for every death hes had a hand in.

Didnt the Santa Muerte case end when Deb shot dude in the club?

Nanny makes no sense.

The surveillance stuff needed to be addressed...agreed.

218. "I've bought into the serial killer stuff though"
In response to Reply # 217


  

          

I was hoping the body in the bathroom would bring heat on him, but it just vanished. I think the problem was they had no idea how to handle the aftermath of Rita's death.

I have a theory though. I think they filmed a lot of the Santa Muerte killers stuff when Michael C. Hall was out getting treatment for cancer. That's why he rarely interacted with the rest of the cast (and they used his mourning as a way to explain it). So the Santa Muerte stuff was just filling space and when he got caught up they just dropped that.

So I'm just hoping that a season away from all of this they can get back to what worked. I'm not going to complain how convenient things are for him because that convenience is something I loved in the first four seasons.

what's gonna happen to the owner of that red car that dexter stole? i mean dex flipped that bitch over at the camp. its not like he and lumen dug a hole and buried it so it had to have been found. then the owner will say where it was parked when it was stolen, which happens to be where they were investigating a cops murder, and then questions have to be asked, right? right!?!?!

and was bleeding after the accident.

this season was lazy from start to finish. like others have said, i like the show & premise enough to still watch -- and previous seasons have earned enough goodwill -- but S5 was a big, big mess.

227. "Any of y'all read the books?"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I read the first two well before i ever watched the series. It should come as no surprise to those complaining that seasons 1 (and to a lesser degree but still in some ways season 2) are fairly closely tied to the first two books. there are however, some differences in the five novels which could actually have given the show different directions to go in:

-dexter's brother escapes in the novel
-deborah finds out some of what dexter is up to, but doesn't know the full extent
-doakes doesn't die, but his tongue is cut out and he loses limbs as a result of a killer that dexter actually saves him from
-the most interesting one: cody and astor had such a brutal experience from their father that they have their own dark passengers, and dexter mentors them.
-rita doesn't die
-dexter is never as emotional in the book as he is on TV, although it appears that when he has a child in the novel he will become more emotional than ever before

even though he is deluding himself to some degree, dexter in the book is considerably more emotinally detached. i believe that for a TV audience, more work was done to humanize him, which is also why i think the kids as mini dexters was never taken up, even though harrison has shown signs of such behavior since they put him in a similar circumstance as dexter was in, which is OK, but a bit too cliche for my tastes. i'd have much preferred them keeping rita alive and seeing him align more with the kids or her finding out and accepting it. they kind of made her too innocent and naive though to seemingly ever accept dexter as killer of killers, ALTHOUGH the way she liked him punching out the neighbor showed something...

they took a big risk in killing off rita so should be commended for at least trying to keep taking the show place after making such a bold move. the theme throughout every show has been dexter and kindred spirits, as he's come into contact with at least one every season.

i strongly disagree that things are "convenient" or just "fortunate" for him. the criminal justice system is mega fucked up. there is none better to game the system than one inside of it. cases are often so poorly put together and major things overlooked its not beyond the realm of this fictional world for things to break well for him when needed. nevermind the fact that everyone has shown some gray so that alone would seem to indicate that there is no perfectly virtuous soul to go after dexter who hasn't played dirty in the past themselves. aside from the fact that his wife got killed, he has more people pulling on him and depending on him, making his vocation all the harder to accomplish.

whether or not deb finds out about him doesn't have to make or break the show. he says and she shows that she has a "blind spot" for him. and with her finding out about his early days, not hard to see why she lets him get away with being a bit of an oddball.

i'm pretty satisfied with the overall run of the series, they've kept a pretty good hold on the personalities of the main characters. i do think it was lame though that they broke up angel and his chick so he could pound laguerta, unnecessary plot line that they put into the show.

i felt sad for him at the end of season five. for the first time, he was allowed to be himself and while he wasn't judged for it, he also wasn't allowed to have that connection very long. what i do like about the show is that it explores more of his humanity and shows by nature of him NOT killing innocents, and instead going after very guilty parties, he's not the monster harry and he himself suppose him to be.

i could definitely see a "trial" type shit happen, that could be really good if done right.
