I just rewatched season 2. Why didn't they just look at the databases to see who looked up the information of the criminals? Surely they woud have records of who logged on and they would have seen that Dexter searched for all of the people whom they identified as the bodies. Also when they videotaped him cleaning the boat and he did the fire alarm to delete the footage, wouldn't they have noticed that there was a huge chunk of the video missing? It just doesn't seem plausible to me that he wouldn't have gotten caught after they figured out it was someone who worked for the police that committed those murders.

I think they did that particular storyline too early in the series. They should have developed other things a little more before having a huge man hunt for him.

At the same time, if they had done the Season 3 storyline, I probably wouldn't have been hooked on the show like I was |

Trying to watch the first episode right now. I am about 40 minutes in. This show seems "very fucking shitty" to me. Like I almost hate it.
I don't understand. Feels so "cartoonish" and "zany" or something. The character is like trying to be all "dark" but has this zany/cocky attitude that is so annoying. Does it get better later in the season, or in future seasons? I am not sure what is going on here. Feels kinda like a show that would be a "USA Network Original Series." Heard this show was so good from so many people. |

I don't know if you are going to like this show. I thought you wouldn't like it when you mentioned that you wanted to watch it. I don't really like it either really, except that I do. The sister is the most annoying character on television and you are going to hate her.

He came off that way to me too at first, but I guess it grows on you? Or you learn to accept his style of acting. I dunno. But he definitly acts that way from here on out, but you get used to it. The writing is great, corny at times though. I would say you should watch the whole season before giving up on it but that's a lot to ask for.
If you decide to opt-out, I highly suggest you start watching Breaking Bad. Fucking tremendous show. This, Breaking Bad, and Lost is all that's left for you to watch. |

Yeah when the sister came on, that was the point where I thought I might actually "hate" this show. Then some part a little later on she say some woman "needs to get laid" and starts eating a donut and smacking her lips while saying something with a really smug look on her face.

The sister can get irritating too yeah. Really, all of the characters are kind of bland/stereotypical.
I think this show is good enough for your parents or friends to enjoy, but not "smart" enough for you. |

Rest of the episode wasn't that bad. I think I could probably like it if I kept watching. Def seems like it would grow on you. But yeah I think it just caught me off guard how "corny" it was or something.
Yeah, saw the last 4-5 episodes of last season of Breaking Bad and I liked it, but haven't watched anything this season. |

The sister isn't like that for the entire show though, seriously. She starts off as a rookie and seems really dumb as a character for a while, but she is not terrible later. They do a really good job with character development all around I would say, for not delving too deep into the lives of characters other than Dexter. Also, this last season was IMMENSE. John Lithgow is in it and it is probably one of the most 'chilling' seasons of Dexter ever.

I still think his sister is irritating. But I'm pretty sure the reason that she is a little much at times is because Dexter is so calm, so I see why she is that way.

Season 5 trailer released at Comic Con this week:
Still not a fan of Quinn. They shouldn't have killed off Doakes so soon. |

Awesome. Seems like its picking up right from where it left off, and will be dealing with all the loose threads left over from last season (Kyle Butler, Trinity killing a married woman and then disappearing).

I'm guessing it's just to lure in a victim. When does this come back? (It might be in the trailer, but it's taking forever to load on youtube.)

September 26.
Still hoping that Rita makes some appearances in "ghost" form like Harry. Doubtful, though, since she's already got some new show she's in. Some Fantastic Four/Incredibles/Heroes clone. |

Also, looks like the villain of the season may be Dexter himself? I don't know. It didn't hint at any one bad guy.. just Quinn getting suspicious and Dexter going apeshit on some guy smashing his face in or something.

I feel like Quinn gets even more suspicious and becomes like Doakes. Dexter feels guilt for getting Rita involved in all of this because "Harry" always told him it was a bad idea to get close and because he has no one to go after (as the killer is dead) or blame, we will watch him either try to cope with it or break down. |

Who is watching tonight?
What do you think is going to happen? With such a shocker last season how do you think things are gonna pan out for Dexter? Do you really think Dexter is ready to raise 3 children by himself and how is going to balance Serial Killing and Fatherhood? So discuss and so on..... I will join the thread after the show tonight . |

I still need to watch the previous season.
Like a dickhead, I read a spoiler in here about Rita right when I was about to catch up on the season, and I just haven't been able to get back into it. It's not really a huge "hang up" but I've just been lazy about catching up. |

I figure he was probably late to the funeral because he cleaned up the body. I mean, his father came back at that moment so I think he may have snapped back to reality and coached himself into doing things like normal again for a brief time. He had his boat and such there anyways, didn't he?
