I saw the twist coming too SORT OF, but they did a good job not giving any clues the entire episode that it would happen so when it did happen, your heart starts pumping. It like that it happened, it gives the show its balls back.

I 'kind of' saw it coming because up to that point I was like "Come on, where is this 'huge twist' the previews were raving about?" It couldn't have been Deb finding out about Dexter, because that didn't pan out into a nearly revealing enough situation for it to be a 'twist'. Then as soon as he listened to the voicemail, it was obvious instantly. I was still like "No way.." when I realized it, and then just kinda sat there with a dropped jaw as he walked into the bathroom.

Definitely had a feeling that would be coming but maybe because we've heard of a huge twist for a while now.
Pretty crazy looking back at the scene where Trinity is on the table now and you kinda see why he was saying some of the things he was. And pretty much why he was so calm. He got Dexter in the end. Dexter can't get revenge on someone who's already dead.
Can't wait to see where they go with this next year. Definitely see next season as Dexter's dark side taking over a little more, especially after this. Although I don't know how he's gonna find the time to kill without Rita to watch the kids. I also wonder how he's gonna explain his wife being killed the same way as the other Trinity kills. I dunno, can't wait for next season.

On the ending...
I actually had a feeling earlier in the season that Trinity would target Rita before he even met Dexter. She just fit the profile of the women he went after -- mid to late 30's with kids, etc. -- just didn't know if she was a bathtub death or a jumper. Once it seemed like the kill cycle was over I thought she was "safe" until Trinity found out Dexter's true identity.
On a sidenote, the conversation between Michael C. Hall and John Lithgow after the show/before the Californication finale was pretty interesting, too. I was a little surprised at the way Hall looked, though -- don't know if it's going to be a new look for Dexter, if he's working on another movie at the moment, or just wanted to shake things up while he's not in character, though.

One thing about the Deb/Dexter thing.
Why was a bigger deal not made of it?
It's been a bit since I've seen season one, although I should do a rewatch. That said...how did that revelation to Deb about Dexter/Rudy end up so...flat?
The episode was amazing, but that part where she talked to him about Laura Moser just seemed to fall flat on its face, IMO.
Anyone else feel that way? And I am also a little sad that Trinity didn't get away.

Like in the books, if anyone's read them: Who will babysit Harrison while Dexter kills? The answer is simple. (Not the babysitting part but the returning character part.

I was exactly the same, it clicked with the voicemail and I was like 'shiiiit' until the reveal. The last 10-15 minutes of the ep was perfect TV.

Was a big fan of this episode and season. Wasn't a let down in anyway. I liked how they teased it at the end to that everything was fine. The inter monolgue started, the typical wrap up an episode music was going. Just as Dexter finally figured out how to make it work, just when you were getting nervous that maybe it would just end like that, they brought it out. They did a good job with it all I thought.

I think more will come of the Deb thing. I mean, Quinn is still suspicious of Dexter. And with Rita being killed in a Trinity manner, I think shit is just going to get all fucked up next season. Maybe Quinn is going to do something that will make Deb more suspicious of Dexter, and maybe she will find out herself.
I mean, she is becoming a pretty good detective. She found Trinity's identity even with Dexter trying to fuck things up the whole time. She solved the Lundy case. I wouldn't find it strange if the FBI took an interest in her next season, honestly.

I liked the ending. I think it will take Dexter in a strange new direction in that he is probably very conflicted at being responsible for her death and doesn't ever want to let a fuck up like Trinity happen again, but he can't because he has the kids. I will miss Rita, but I'm not ruling her out popping up in visions or flashbacks.

Yeah, I like the Harry stuff. Especially this season. This season Harry almost acted entirely like Dexter's darkest thoughts. Played the devil's advocate.
It gives Dexter some way of externalizing his mental struggles, rather then relying even more on the voiceovers.

Dexter was brilliant this season. Just finished airing on Showcase over here. Chilling season. All of it was great, but it picked up in the second half and really got a new momentum for the show. Rita being a victim is something that has been a long time coming, but it was surprising how they did it. Not wanting to see John Lithgow go, the idea of a Harry Morgan/Arthur Mitchell devil's advocate thing crossed my mind, too.
Another thing that I am curious to see: The relationship between Dexter and Quinn. I expect Quinn to be much nicer to Dexter now that Rita is dead. To be honest, I can already see how a lot of the characters will evolve in season five (even "Mind Harry").
I'll make a prediction, though: I expect the biggest change to happen in Batista.

Rita dying the way the Trinity Killer does it? That'll come off as odd also i think...Great season...great to have Lithgow in this past season.
Deb told Dexter that he's the only person she can trust and was always there for her. Now that Rita is gone they will get closer and bang. I think it's pretty obvious.

Rita dying the way the Trinity Killer does it? That'll come off as odd also i think...Great season...great to have Lithgow in this past season.
I see Quinn doing the opposite, actually. I think he's more likely to feel bad for the allegations he made while Rita was still alive, and actually make a conscious effort to be kind to Dexter -- even if it isn't reciprocated by Dexter (in his outwards behaviour). Quinn's got the "buddy-cop" representation down. Dexter may not strictly be "police," but I think Quinn feels bad enough that he feels sorry for Dexter.
That's why I think Batista will change the most -- it balances out with Quinn. Angel didn't really have much to do this season, other than bang La Guerta. The Dexter team very rarely put something in the show for no reason at all. I won't tell you where they are; but go back and watch the final episode if you can. Keep an eye on what Batista does during the episode. There are two (what I feel are) key moments where Batista is focused on at a moment when Batista doesn't feel like the focus. If you keep an eye out, you will know what they are. The first one is almost so obvious it slips under your radar.
But a large part of season five, in my predictions, is Angel Batista deciding whether or not to be a good friend to Dexter, and give him the benefit of the doubt; or be a good cop and look a little into Dexter's lifestyle.

I know this is a joke, but I definitely see Deb moving in with Dexter temporarily to help him adjust to his new role as a single-dad, and providing the kids with a prominent female figure in their life. That's not them banging, but I could see Debra banging Elliot or something. I'm just trying to think of ways for Deb to take her top off.

I want to see people wondering why the Trinity killer seemingly started this new cycle, but then disappeared. I can see that leading to a closer look at Dexter.
He should have been caught in season 2. All the other seasons now are like "ok you almost got caught but you really should have been caught in season 2".

Maybe they make this the last season cause of his illness. But either way it'll be interesting to see where they go from here.
The only thing that will stop me from labeling this TV show as one of the greats would be if they don't at least tease some kind of sexual tension between Deb and Dexter.
I saw a video of Julie Benz on Desperate House Wives wearing something skimpy and god she has a great body.

this guy must be some kinda faggit
Am I the only one that really liked Season 3? I hear everyone say that it isn't as good as the other seasons, but I disagree. I loved Jimmy Smits and that sycophant part. They probably could have done better with the whole skinner storyline, but other than that I thought things were well done there.
Season 3 was when I started watching and I became a big fan. Then I went back and watched the first two. I actually like 3 the best I guess because of the dynamic of Dexter finding a guy to share his secrets to and kill with that has the potential to go very wrong which it did.
Ol Dirty Dastard
03-19-2010, 11:22 PM
Jimmy Smits was pretty fucking awesome.
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.

They did think it was someone from the police and they did investigate the officers but I think with Dexter's dad being an outstanding officer and having his sister Deb in the force too he would probably be one of the last they would suspect. So when Lundy brought in Dexter to help with the investigation it was clear he never suspected Dexter but even if he did he was fucking his sister. Then things started to point at the black guy, I forgot his name.

Shawn Hatosy (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004999/) is making a pit stop in Miami before returning to Southland (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1299368/): Sources confirm to me exclusively that Hatosy has booked a multi-episode arc on Dexter. A Showtime rep declined to divulge details on his character, but a recent Dexter casting call may offer a clue: The drama was seeking a thirtysomething actor to play the recurring role of a no-nonsense FBI agent.
After completing his Dexter arc, Hatosy will head immediately into production on Southland (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1299368/)’s 10-episode third season.
I heard they also got Julia Stiles. It should be an interesting season, even though I hate thirtysomething no-nonsense FBI agents.

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.

Requiem
06-14-2010, 05:23 AM
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.
thedamndest

That guy is the one who tried to get cozy with Rita.
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.

Season Premiere thoughts:
I hope they don't just gloss over the fact that Dexter just killed a random dude for no reason in a rather sloppy fashion.
The scene was brilliant, with Dexter finally letting things out, but I hope they don't ignore the killing.
Do we need spoiler tags in this thread? I would think most people would have the common sense to stay out until they see the episode.
We'll probably see how he handled it, in the next episode.

Either he goes back to "clean up", or the body is discovered and he realizes that there may be something at the scene linking him to the crime.
I thought it was pretty good for a season premiere, which are usually pretty boring as they set things up for the future. Dexter's inability to express much emotion making him look suspicious was great, and so was that second where you almost thought he'd make a run for it (well, if you didn't watch the trailer for the season).
Can't wait for the next episode.

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?

Haven't been too huge on this season to be honest, especially following last season. Though I think things are finally in motion and next weeks could be a good episode. Hate how Dexter is in love with that girl now though. Hopefully fun to see Terry/Dexter next week. Hopefully Terry doesn't get sent to prison because of blood on his shoes/Dexter framing him for the murder.
Thinking the show should end things within next season or two. One season leading up to him getting figured out (maybe will be this one). Then one season of him on the run.

Anyone else thinks Lumen dies next episode?
I don't know if she dies but I think they'll find a way to write her off of the show.
My problem with this season is that they completely stopped mentioning so many plots. The Kyle Butler thing, that Mexican female cop, that entire thing about the El Mariachis or whatever they were called. I also don't like the way Robocop was killed.They built up that guy for episodes only for him to go out like a gimp. I'm not sure if I buy the Jordan Chase character either. They keep on making a big deal about how famous he is, but I don't know of any gimmicky self-help guy who is that famous. Dr. Phil maybe. It almost feels like they are over-doing it just to make him seem like a more important character. Everything has felt off ever since they killed off Rita.
I will say that it improved quite a bit the second half of the season. Maybe everything will make sense after episode.

Well they obviously have no valid leads with the Kyle Butler thing and the only one who was in the right direction was Quinn but he's not on that case and stopped looking into it because of LaGuardia and Debra.
The Hispanic cop showed her true colors and used Debra to get higher up and she was no longer party of the story once those Hispanic brothers were dead. Story pretty much ended their with their deaths.
All these things are just little side stories that add something to the main story.
I hate how they handled the Liddy situation. Almost every episode they hype up the next episode like omg something is gonna happen but it usually doesn't happen. Then when something actually happens it all starts and ends so quickly and smoothly without any anticipation.

She had to die or leave town and it was a pretty safe bet she wasn't going to die after Rita did. It's likely that every season will feel underwhelming after Lithgow. This wasn't bad but I wouldn't be opposed to them tying it up next season for that reason.
I kind of feel like she used him. She shows up and he takes out Boyd Fowler. He treats her with respect and kindness and gives her whatever she wants. She convinces him to help her track down the rest and kill them. Then when they off the last guy she just suddenly can't be around anymore. It's like thanks for the food, clothes, shelter, sex, companionship, murder tips, etc but I gotta go now, bye.

it's time something needs to move forward. every time someone finds out, they are always gone next season. there needs to be a permanent fixture in the show, like deb, who finds out
Deb is the only good choice for someone who finds out.
Others would just turn him in, while she'd be between a rock and a hard place.
I think Quinn might actually keep Dexter's secret if he found out. First of all he's shown to be not so ethical and he is in love with Debra.
Well, after the last episode that sounds believable.
Dexter is getting divorced from Deb.

Quinn should totally still be under investigation for all of the phone calls and his defensive nature on the subject. Having the blood on his shoes turn out not to be Liddy's should not have been enough to have him walking free and happy.

Dexter vs Religion I guess next season.
He looks weird without his usual "scruffy five o'clock shadow" look.
From that trailer I'm guessing he comes across a guy who killed his wife but believes in Jesus and may be in a religious cult. It seems like he could be going after people who are hypocrites or have twisted religious ideals. Edward James Olmos looks like a cult leader here and is most likely the main antagonist of the new season.

Corporate CockSnogger
11-14-2011, 06:40 PM
I think it was more to do with the fact Dexter was beginning to see a different side to himself through Brother Sam's religion and his words to him about forgiveness, only for Sam's killer to ruin that and force Dexter into a knee-jerk reaction kill as opposed to it actually being about Sam's death. The darkness in Dexter (Brian) completely took over him teporarily.
Like you said though it was a very good episode, and this episode made it seem even more certain to me that Edward James Olmos is in Colin Hanks' head, although the previews for next week make me reconsider slightly. Looks like the main plot is picking up next week big time.
Yeah the comment dexter made about it, "unlike my dark passenger, his can be killed..." makes it sound like the professor is real.

Because it mirrors Dexter pretty well when he comes up against somebody so similar to himself. It'd make for good (albeit slightly predictable) storytelling if it is the case. Plus the fact the Professor hasn't interacted with anybody other than Colin Hanks. I can't actually remember if he's had anything to do with the torturing scenes, but in this very last episode Brian stabbed a guy with a pitchfork so it can be a similar situation there. Nobody else has actually acknowledged him.
FourFifty
11-15-2011, 10:18 PM
.......the dude isn't real... Mind = Blown
But seriously, it is a fun idea to entertain. I believe he is real, but if he's not, I'll still be shocked.
I'm on the fence a bit about whether the professor is real or not, but mostly leaning toward him being a figment of Colin Hanks' imagination. This season really seems to be centering on dual personalities; darkness and light. I know that the entire show has had a lot to do with these concepts, but this one especially.
Brother Sam went from being a very bad person to a very spiritual, forgiving and kind person. Deb is fighting with the duality of trying to be the boss while also trying to be herself. And Dexter is of course fighting with his dark passenger, and the reappearance of his brother only furthers this. It would make sense that Colin Hanks' character is also fighting with his own dark passenger in the same way.
There's also several other facts. Firstly that no one else ever interacts with the professor - not once. Secondly, none of the victims ever see him, especially the girl who escaped, who was blind folded the entire time. Think about the scene where Colin has sex with the brunette and the next morning he wakes up to find her tied up and gagged in the kitchen. His "other side" could have easily woken up, beaten her, tied her up and gagged her, and then gone back to sleep, only to wake up as "the real him" and "find her" tied up. It'd be a very creepy schizophrenic situation, and very befitting of this series. The professor has also been "missing" for 3 years, so no one has seen him in a very long time - it would make sense that when Colin first started to turn to his dark side that he killed the professor himself. This is also just the kind of plot device that the Dexter writers would use to try and have a big "twist" toward the end of the season when it's revealed that the professor's decomposed body is locked up in the church or something.
Guess we'll see.
I would agree but when they were questioning the girl in the hospital she made it sound like there were actually 2 people there, 1 young and 1 old. But it was a traumatizing event and it could be that he was doing a voice like in the movie Psycho.
Damn. More questions than answers.

No it wasn't. The entire season was written to make people speculate about it.
They need to do something really appalling to end this season with, so far they've only been going through the motions. They could have done so much more since the end of season four. This might be their last chance to redeem the show.

Wasn't it a couple of episodes back where Dexter pondered whether or not Deb would find out about him and he'd have to kill her? They seem to at least be foreshadowing some kind of confrontation.
They need to do something really appalling to end this season with, so far they've only been going through the motions. They could have done so much more since the end of season four. This might be their last chance to redeem the show.
It's fine
The show has taken a hit ever since they switched show runners. They have no idea what to do with the side characters anymore so they stick them into these froced subplots that don't go anywhere while turning them into these one dimensional ethnic drones. At least in previous seasons all of that peripheral stuff worked to develop Dexter's character and put context to the main plot. They've gotten sloppy with details to make everything else fit.
I feel a little bad about complaining because I still watch it every week and it does become increasingly difficult for a show to maintain its edge after being on the air for a few years. It's still enjoyable, but that sense of "tension" in storyline progression isn't as strong as it was in previous seasons. Maybe the end of this season will prove me wrong. I will only talk about the plot for now on, I promise.
I do like the new black guy they have.
Though plans could still change, Showtime entertainment president David Nevins tells EW the working assumption is indeed that Dexter will conclude in the eighth season. Moreover, the creative endgame starts sooner than you think — the remaining episodes of the current sixth season will set into motion events that will resonate through the remainder of the series.

I mean honestly, it had to come some time. I'm glad there will be another 2 after this one though because that says to me that they'll have plenty of time to finish it off however they want.

Didn't even expect another two seasons. I thought maybe the next season would be the last.

yeah that was pretty great. liking this season in general. not the strongest, but it is a subject they've never covered with dexter so it is still new ground.
So when are Deb and Dexter gonna do the dirty?
Kinda marked out when I saw the chick from My Boys

Actually it is sort of. The Trinity Killer was religious and they chatted about God before Dexter chopped him up.

I think that is where the angle with her shrink is going.

Remember when Dexter used to be "stealthy" about everything he did.

Like he would take a lot more precautions about every little thing. Last 2 seasons though it's just "here i am, killed the dude, dumped him in the sea, dont care who saw me" in like 3 minutes.

Their homicide department are so useless. A random girl walks in and awkwardly swipes herself into the building in full view of everyone. Dexter saves Deb and she accepts his logic as "Guess I got lucky :-\". Nobody bothers to listen to the anonymous phone call from the last episode and hear Dexters voice.

yeah very sloppy. Why the fuck would he leave a video text like that? Clearly, it's plausible that could later be found as evidence. So fucking lame these days.
I keep forgetting about that intern. I wonder what his story is.

That's genuinely the part I'm most intrigued about this season and I think the reason is that Dexter rarely continues much of the story between seasons, yet this looks like it's gonna be the start of a big arc for next year.
holy shit @ the preview for the season finale. Can't wait
Down side is waiting almost a year for a new season :-\
I watched the episode but the dickhead on Justin.tv kept on playing marijuana bong hit sound effects during the whole thing so I don't really know what happened.

Was hoping that after Dexter pushed the chick with the poison gas into that room, it would be revealed that some fat dude was in there, eating a sandwich or something, and he'd have this "WTF" look on his face and then die.

How the hell did the Captain not think Laguerta was the one who ratted him out? Common sense would tell you she had more to gain than Deb.

And the dude is portrayed by Zach Galifinakis.

But yeah, the video text thing was like the stupidest thing in the world for a serial killer who is supposed to be meticulous to do.
I mean, he could have had some sort of plausible deniability before if the police caught Travis before he did, and Travis started to say that Dexter was in contact with him. I mean, the dude is crazy and schizo, could easily just say he was hallucinating Dexter. But now he has proof with a video text.

Even if it was a dream I think Deb kissing Dexter may have been a jump the shark moment.

Great ending to an otherwise lacklustre season. Next season is set up well both with that ending and with the Lewis stuff.

Damn. Like the ending a lot. Should be interesting to see where that goes.
Kind of funny that they go the Deb loves Dexter route after Carpenter and Hall divorce.

This episode was once again filled with plotholes and lazy writing though. Hope they sort all that out for the next season.
Dexter killing that guy on the boat. Did that really even have to be there? And the convenience of nobody else entering the house with the Dexter painting before him is just so lazy, the whole Travis painting Dexters face thing was ridiculous anyway.
Damn. Like the ending a lot. Should be interesting to see where that goes.

Next season: Dexter's got cancer.
