Dexter - Possible Spoilers

[Sixx]

Sixx-more like Dexter has cancer and decides to cook meth

Then shaves his head and curbstomps some debtors.

[Lock Jaw]

Sloppy work by Dexter once again. Making his kill room the location where someone will know him to be. Chances are they aren't going to show up, but the ending of the season is clearly why you do not take chances.

[Next Big Thing]

That's what I've been saying all season. Dude has been careless as hell. Hate how all the bad spots he got himself in were resolved so easily.

I'm willing to bet that Dexter talks all the conflict away within the first 10 minutes of next season by telling Deb he wanted to kill Travis himself for trying to kill someone he loves and she'll buy it and they'll go back to his place and have awkward sex or something and everything will be fine.

[DrA]

Except he had him wrapped in plastic with the cut on his cheek, which were all the Bay Harbor Butcher's signatures.

[Next Big Thing]

And he meticulously studied the case file of the Bay Harbor Butcher and decided to make it look like one of his crimes. BOOM! Brilliant first episode written. It's about as easy as walking out of a church cellar or escaping from a flammable boat after being dosed with animal tranquilizer and still suffering the effects of exposure to poison gas.

[Buzzkill]

Wait so I just stumbled onto a review of this finale...I stopped watching Dexter after season 4 (which I loved), and just didn't really care about season 5. Did Deb really fall in love with Dexter? Did the show really jump the shark that horribly? JFC

[Buzzkill]

Holy shit that finale was terrible.

[Juan]

I disagree

[dronepool]

I really liked this season. It sucks we have to wait almost an year. The new season airing around October 2012, right?

[Jura]

I don't think we've seen Harry pop up in a while. When was the last time? Before the gas attack? I think that says something.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I tend to blank out all the Harry parts anyway. He was used really well in the first couple of seasons in the flashbacks and then even as Dexters conscience, but now he just seems to be there as a way of Dexter explaining his plan to the audience without resorting to having him just talk to himself (even though he kinda is).

[Hanso Amore]

So that dude with the ITK Hand, the Intern, I think he is a major character next season.

Dude seems to know more than he should. And he is obsessed with Dexter.

And check this, hes like OH DEXTER USE ELLIOT THE SEARCH ENGINE

The Elliot logo is a HAND like the prosthetic. Watch this be him creating a site to monitor Dexters work...as he is some form of Copycat....a Creation of Dexter that he will have to accept next season.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, that search engine is definitely feeding info directly to the intern dude.

[Hanso Amore]

Also, he says its TIME TO GET IN THE GAME, and stop standing on the sidelines. Then he does this thing with the Palm Reader hand chart.

PALM READER KILLER

It looks like they're going all out this season.

[Skippord]

Anytime someone busts out Deftones in their trailer some shit is gonna go down

[Juan]

It looks like they're going all out this season.

God damn, that looks amazing.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Looks like a big improvement on the last season from that trailer, just hope they don't have Deb believing his lies so easily and draw it out too long by having her extremely slowly start realising what's actually going on.

[Requiem]

Wow that trailer is fucking intense.

[Crimson]

Did he slash the asian forensic guys throat there?? It'll probably be a dream/illusion but i'll mark out if it actually happens.

[RoXer]

you really think they'd just give out a moment like that in the trailer?

[Sixx]

I think he was recreating the murder with him.

Kinda like he usually does, prancing around, showing what the killer's moves were.

[dronepool]

I ordered Showtime. So pumped!!

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Really hoping they step it up after last season being pretty bad. Quite sure they're gonna drag out the whole Deb believing Dexter was just caught in the heat of the moment for ages though. That said, they could go a completely different direction with it which would make me very excited about this season.

[Mercenary]

Love this show less than a hour

[Immortal Moose]

Does anyone happen to have a stream for the premiere? Thanks.

Edit: Never mind, found one.

[owenbrown]

Just watched the premiere...
WHY THE FUCK HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS SHOW?!

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Well that was so much better than everything from the past two seasons. I really thought they were going to drag out the whole Deb storyline for the whole season and that ending would be the ending of season 7. Really glad I was wrong about that. So glad they didn't revert Deb back to being a dumb useless cop and actually kept her smart enough to figure all the Dexter stuff out pretty much immediately.

The side stories of LaGuerta finding the slide (who you would assume will now be trying to prove Doakes was innocent all along) and Louis the weird intern are both really interesting too. The new bad guys don't seem all that exciting but they were obviously going to take a backseat to all the Dexter/Deb stuff in this episode so we'll probably get more on them in the coming episodes. Really excited about season 7 now.

[Crimson]

First episode was awesomeeeee. I thought they would drag out that storyline too. Kinda sad that guy had to die. I dont understand why LaGuerta would 'steal' the blood slide. Instead of her just pushing forensics to get to the bottom of that first.

[Miotch]

Wouldn't be shocked if LaGuerta gets set up somehow to be the Bay Harbor Butcher.

[Chavo Classic]

One improvement I've noticed is the use of flashbacks to Dexter (and Deb's) childhood in place of Dexter conversing with the imaginary ghost of Harry.

Those conversations really bothered me since they were introduced in season 3, because they gave the impression that Dexter was losing his mind. Dexter isn't mentally unstable; he's a very deliberate and organised (or in his words 'neat') monster. He's in control of his mind and emotions, otherwise he would have been caught years ago.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Yeahh I've always much preferred the flashbacks too. I just hope they have Dexter go back to being the meticulous killer he was in the first few seasons, not making any mistakes and not leaving anything down the chance. Last season when he sent a video message to the killer was probably the dumbest moment on the whole show, and there's been a few.

I mean, it's already a bit much to have him kill someone in an airport in this day and age, but that's where suspension of belief comes in and that's fine. But when he's outright contacting people who the police are after with his face plastered all over their phone is just something they'd never have had Dexter do in the earlier days.

[DrA]

They should have just had Debra catch him in season five and skip season six altogether.

[Immortal Moose]

So much for Louis

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Dexters gonna rail that plant girl.

[Sixx]

Couldn't he like instantly leave the mausoleum to send the text?

[Mr. Pierre]

This season has been incredible so far. Great start!

"However, I will run if there's a bull chasing me with an axe..." :D

[Crimson]

Digging the main villian this year. Cold hearted. Great season thus far

[Tazz Dan]

This season has been incredible so far. Great start!

"However, I will run if there's a bull chasing me with an axe..." :D

I :lol:'d at that

[Chavo Classic]

Digging the main villian this year. Cold hearted. Great season thus far

The villian himself isn't the interesting point for me so far; but rather the possibility of Dexter head-to-head with an organisation. In every season so far he's dealt with individuals, whether psychopaths like Trinity or professionals like Doakes. This is the first time he'll face off against a group of trained killers, who could pose a real threat.

[Crimson]

Good point. He just kinda reminds me a little of a Hans Landa from Inglorious Basterds, friendly ,charming then he stabs you in the eye with a screwdriver.

[Chavo Classic]

I'm sure it's going there, but Deb needs to realise that she can't change Dexter and start hunting him. The season usually takes a couple of episodes to get started, but after the hype and promise of the previous season finale and the trailer, I feel a bit underwhelmed by her reaction and apathy. He's a serial killer FFS!

[Lock Jaw]

Don't know why Dexter has not brought up the fact that she let him go before, in Season 5, or whichever was the one with Lumen and all the battered women.

Like, "guess what Deb, you let me get away with it once before because you wanted those people dead".

[Crimson]

Another good episode. I started watching last season so I need to watch season 1

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I'm dressing as Dexter for Halloween.

[Chavo Classic]

Another good episode. I started watching last season so I need to watch season 1

Season 1 is completely different. I would say that its a shame the series (and the character of Dexter himself) has become so diluted, but after 7 seasons I guess they had no choice.

My personal favourite season is the second. It's not as dark as the first but has a faster pace and dishes out the drama in the same way the later seasons do.

[Chavo Classic]

I'm dressing as Dexter for Halloween.

I'll look out for Dexter in the KrazyHouse then, no?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Nahhh I won't be going The K. Not sure where yet but possibly Medication.

[Sixx]

I'm dressing as Dexter for Halloween.

Pink shirt + white pants?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Nah just had some Miami sweat on my forehead.

[Juan]

Can someone on this show please give Debra Morgan some chap stick? Maybe it's the lighting, but her lips look so dry. Annoying

[Juan]

Dexters gonna rail that plant girl.

Nailed it

[Juan]

Really great season so far imo. Easily the best since season 4

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Yeahhh I've been loving it so far. Really huge step up in quality from the past two seasons, the whole Deb angle just adds a whole new level to the show. Plus as mentioned before, the villains for this season are a great change up from just simply having one serial killer to deal with to having a whole crooked organisation.

I really think La Guerta will end up getting killed off by the end of the season as a consequence of her investigations, maybe by Hannah, who Dexter will then have to kill, although that may be a little too similar to the Doakes/Lila arc so maybe not.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Really intrigued for the ending of this season too as it'll set up the final season. I wonder if they'd have Dexter get found out and have the entire final season dedicated to him on the run, struggling with the decision to turn himself in or fight to stay alive. Could even end with him killing himself as he's the biggest monster of all. Dunno.

[Sixx]

The ending of that episode was kinda retarded. Didn't like it.

[ron the dial]

they made those 2 hooking up pretty blatant from the start, so i was prepared for that to happen. not disappointed in it yet. need to see where it goes. really enjoying this season so far.

[Sixx]

Hooking up - yes.

Not that way, though. Once the bitch's on the table she should be dead in moments.

[ron the dial]

it's consistent with what dexter's been looking for: somebody to understand who he is, what he does, and to support him. she's just that (maybe), and he's recognized that from the beginning. never believed for a second he was going to kill her on his table. even once she was there, i could just tell that he wasn't going to. and i have a feeling that regardless of whether he revealed himself to her in that way, she had idea of what he was anyway. one of those people who are just drawn to and recognize killers, criminals, etc. at least that's the vibe i got from her from day 1.

[Sixx]

So you think he won't eventually kill her, even though she's everything he's against?

[Crimson]

I think he'll do her in eventually. In a situation where he has no choice but to kill her. I also have a feeling maybe Joey will get killed maybe by Isaak.

[DrA]

The actress is coming back next season.

[Sixx]

The actress is coming back next season.

How do you know?

[DrA]

Because she's signed on for season 8.

[DrA]

Maybe she isn't, I can't find the source where I read that.

[Mr. Pierre]

Good episode again.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Kinda wish he'd just stop telling everyone all his plans though. Isaac could have pretty easily had a sound recorder on him when Dexter was telling him about how he killed Victor and would do the same to him.

[Juan]

Yeah, but Isaac wants to kill Dexter, not get him fired.

[itsmeJD]

Yeah Isaac is looking for blood. He could give a shit about getting Dexter arrested/fired. I do enjoy their game of cat and mouse though....also, really wish they'd go ahead and kill Quinn off. Is it me or is he doing the whole Matthew McConaughey wasting away thing. He looks pretty rough.

[Crimson]

I didn't like how Dexter is all sprung on that blonde. I understand why but seriously..he's going against his "code" by not killing her. He knows she killed before and now killed that poor author.

They better not go the route of changing her identity and faking her death to spare her bullshit.

[RoXer]

Batista gunna die

you watch

[itsmeJD]

I agree Roxer. All this talk or retirement and opening a restaurant (moving on with life) is code for "I'm dead, and I don't even know it."

[loopydate]

We call it "retirony." (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Retirony)

[itsmeJD]

LOL yup. The minute he said it this season I said to my wife, "Shit! Batista's dead by end of season." She didn't buy it until I explained the concept using Carlito's Way. Now she's pissed because she too wants Quinn dead. Does ANYONE like Quinn?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Quinn was great last season. Not so much this time round, but I don't hate him.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Gotta agree with the Batista thing though. I already mentioned a bit ago in this thread that I thought LaGuerta would die at the end of the season, but since Batista's retirement thing I've thought it'll probably be him.

Can definitely see a main caster being offed anyway, and one of those two seems most likely.

[itsmeJD]

I hate Laguerta the character, but Lauren Velez has sentimental value due to New York Undercover.

[PapaGeorgio]

Early Seasons: "I can't love, I'm emotionless. I fake all my emotions. I follow my code."
Now: "I'm a whinny bitch who doesn't care about my code and shows sympathy towards all these stupid people cause they suck my dick"

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Well to be fair his whole emotionless state was mostly prior to the series and for a while during season 1. Rita "taught him to love" and since then he's been pretty much a regular guy as far as romantic relationships are concerned.

He's also become a father which has made him more emotionally vulnerable. Yet on a non-romantic level he's still only really concerned about Deb and nobody else. Other than Brother Sam last season, who became a "new Harry" to him, has he really shown much empathy towards other people? I mean, I guess he cares about his other friends and colleagues but he still tends to be pretty shut off from their personal lives.

[Crimson]

Did they really have to turn my favorite character this season gay??
Unnecessary

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Why does it matter? Kinda thought he might be gay anyway since he's gone on so much about Victor being special to him.

Jamie Batista in a bikini though, awww yeahhhhh.

[Crimson]

It was unnecessary is what im saying. Which it was.

And yea even Dexters niece or whatever she was was kinda hot too

[Corporate CockSnogger]

His "niece" who's like 14?

[Crimson]

what..14 yr olds can't be cute? :shifty:

[PapaGeorgio]

Yeah I basically was under assumption he was gay for some time now.

[Lock Jaw]

I just thought Victor was his son or something. Despite them having different last names. I didn't really think that one through.

[itsmeJD]

I assumed him gay because I just watched a similar scenario in Breaking Bad with Gus and his lover.

[PapaGeorgio]

Gus was more subtle I thought. And to be fair I'm not 100% convinced he is gay, but I know they kind of left it open but they did certainly hint at it. With Dexter guy, from the start it seemed like it. It was either he was BFF and had a brotherly relationship with guy, or they were gay together. And since they never really gave a back story for awhile, the gay thing fit more and more.

I'm thankful for this post today.

[itsmeJD]

See, maybe it was my Gaydar, but I felt like Gus was gay the minute they introduced the backstory of him and his partner meeting with the drug czar. I felt like with Issak he could have gone either way. When he found the hidden picture and started crying like a bitch, that's when I realized the relationship.

[itsmeJD]

Oh and I too am thankful for said conversation. Love some Dexter..

[Lock Jaw]

Never even thought of the possibility with Gus in Breaking Bad.

I guess I have a really bad "gaydar".

Same deal in Harry Potter. I read the last book and didn't get a hint of Dumbledore was gay with that dude, until after I finished, and Rowling said in an interview online that Dumbledore was gay.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Another great episode. Kind of strange that Isaac was killed though, thought he'd ride out the whole season. Not really sure which way they're gonna go with it now, not really "feeling" Novikov as the main villain. But there's also the Hannah and LaGuerta scenarios to run through as well. Still though, really excited for the last few episodes.

The season 7 finale title has been announced which could indicate some spoilers...
"Surprise, Motherfucker!"

So definitely something big going down with regards to the Bay Harbour Butcher stuff, maybe we'll see a Doakes cameo in Dexter's imagination :'(

[Crimson]

Looking at next weeks preview it seemed like the arson investigator might be a suspect?

Was bummed about Isaak ..hope Dext kills the club owner now. And I was rooting for his assistant to kill Hannah , she HAS to die this season. Prefer Dexter solo .

[Sixx]

Looking at next weeks preview it seemed like the arson investigator might be a suspect?


I thought he's the arsonist once he showed up. I'll be surprised if it turns out differently.

[Miotch]

Had no idea Crimson was gay, what with wanting Yvonne Strahovski (sic) not on his television.

[Crimson]

I'd trade her for Isaac to come back :shifty:

[dronepool]

I thought he's the arsonist once he showed up. I'll be surprised if it turns out differently.

That look he gave Dexter gave it away for me, I felt tension between them.

[Lock Jaw]

I was surprised they killed off Isaak with three episodes left. Definitely felt like his story had more in it. Possibly including some gay sex with Dexter.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Really excited about the last two episodes. A little disappointed Isaak and co were seemingly brushed aside for the Hannah storyline, but it looks like the LaGuerta storyline will become the main part of the last couple of episodes now. Really hope he gets found out and is on the run in the final season. Would be a nice change of pace for the show I think.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

The writers are doing a good job of squeezing in Jamie Batista bikini scenes into most episodes too.

[Hanso Amore]

Buncha Faggots in this thread

Agree..Isaak way more entertaining. Hannah kinda bores me but nice to look at

[Sixx]

Do you watch Dexter to jerk off?

I want her dead, too.

[Miotch]

No but I like beautiful women on my television.

You gay.

[Sixx]

So it doesn't matter if the character is shit as long as it's a 'beautiful woman' starring?

Shit, son.

[Miotch]

I want to see her naked. And the character isn't THAT shit. I mean, in comparison to Lumen she's incredibly complex and interesting.

[Sixx]

I hope you're not mentioning Lumen in a "beautiful woman" kind of way.

Cause if you are, then your taste in women is awful. She looks like someone dropped a cartoon anvil on her face while she was laying on her back.

[Miotch]

No she's not attractive in the slightest. It would have helped her cause had she been even partially interesting.

[Juan]

Hannah McKay is one of the most interesting recurring characters since Miguel Prado

[itsmeJD]

I feel like this season won't end all neat and tidy like the previous seasons have. I hope I'm right.

[Juan]

Yeah, that's a definite possibility since they went into this season knowing 8 will be the last one and they already know how it's going to end

[dronepool]

That last part... Wow. That caught me off guard.

[Juan]

Joey Quinn's hair is out of control

[Juan]

Hannah McKay is one of the most interesting recurring characters since Miguel Prado

Not to mention she's hot as balls. A little lacking in the boob department, but still hot.

[Juan]

wow @ that ending. Can't wait to see how Dexter gets out of this

[Corporate CockSnogger]

That preview for the finale has me so excited.

[itsmeJD]

That preview for the finale has me so excited.

This. And even though he is dead, I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Doakes yell "Suprise muthafucka!!"

So psyched for next week.

[Crimson]

The ending to this season coulda worked for the final season perfectly. With Deb making the other choice though

[Tazz Dan]

I wasn't disappointed with the episode, but I was hoping for a bigger cliffhanger. As soon as Deb turned up I knew she'd kill Laguerta, and the fact Hannah escaped and wasn't found tells me next season will involve a major show down between the two to finish the show.

[owenbrown]

How the fuck have I never watched this show before?! Same with Homeland...

[Tazz Dan]

Cause you're a massive gay?

[owenbrown]

not cool :n:

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I loved the ending. Even though obviously she wasn't going to shoot Dexter, and I'd predicted La Guerta getting killed after about the second episode, I was still completely shocked when she shot her. Hate that I have to wait so long for the final season now, gonna be great.

[Lock Jaw]

I must say that I am glad that Batista did not somehow end up dead in this episode. Thought for sure that when he finally set the date for his retirement in the previous episode, that he was fated to die in the finale so someone could go "He was 2 days away from retirement!"

[Lock Jaw]

I guess they will kill him in the first episode of the new season, and someone will go "He was 2 days into retirement!"

[Juan]

Damn @ that ending

[Lock Jaw]

Just wanted to post this:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BCbPQCL88eU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Crimson]

haha love Lithgow

[dronepool]

Great episode.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Solid opener. Didn't quite pack the punch that previous first eps have, but good none the less. The Deb stuff has plenty of directions it could take so that's gonna be interesting. This Vogel lady should also be interesting, seeing as Dexter's had everything in the show other than a mother figure, although the whole "I know your secret, but its fine because killing bad guys is cool" thing is a bit played out, but whatever, lets see how it goes. The season has to end with him getting what's coming to him though, just seems the best way to end everything. They've kinda made him too much of a prick in the last few seasons not to go down that route. A scene with him having to look at Batista, Quinn, Vince etc in the eyes as they know what he is would be amazing.

Also, Jamie Batista nakedness.

[Crimson]

Got a feeling Vogel will have known Harry in the past somehow. Cool moment when during the briefing she kept looking toward Dexter n he got all paranoid.

[VSG]

I thought it was a given that she knew him and Harry based on that ending and "Coming up" promo

[dronepool]

What if she was his doc at one point during an early age? What's up with the drawings?

[VSG]

She was Harry's psychiatrist and helped him give Dexter a code to live by- she is his "mother figure".

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Yessss, Hannah's back! This season's been moving along at a bit of a slow pace so far I've thought. I mean Dexter usually takes like 3 or 4 episodes each season to fully get going but we're up to episode 6 now and I can't really see what they're building towards. Kinda necessary to take things slow I guess, while they established what they were gonna do with Deb though.

Not feeling this "Zack" plot at all though. Might be that they went too extreme with the creepy looking kid, or that he's a bit of shit actor.

Love Dexter's awkwardness around Hayley from One Tree Hill though :'(

[Sixx]

The fuck?

I thought it starts in Autumn like all the other TV shows.

Then again, I now got 6 episodes to watch without having to wait a week for each.

[Lock Jaw]

If last week was the end of the whole brain surgeon killer angle, that seems rather anti-climactic. Unless they reveal that it was Vogel herself and she's just been manipulating everything and everyone.

[dronepool]

Loving it. Hannah was a holy shit moment-

[Corporate CockSnogger]

If last week was the end of the whole brain surgeon killer angle, that seems rather anti-climactic. Unless they reveal that it was Vogel herself and she's just been manipulating everything and everyone.

I'm guessing that's where they're gonna go with it. Not overly interested in Vogel though, personally. One of the weaker "big bad" plot lines. There's plenty going on elsewhere that's great though.

[dronepool]

Anybody thinking things will come "full circle" with Zack in episode 12?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I hope not. Honestly, if that were the angle they were gonna go with, I'd probably rather have them flash forward like 20 years and have it be revealed that Harrison has taken over the work. Although I don't want that to happen either cause I like the idea of Dexter succeeding in raising a normal child. Maybe Cody and Astor as a brother/sister combo like Dex and Deb right now, but can't see that either. I just don't really think anyone would care if it were Zack taking over since he's a brand new character and also looks like a little prick.

I hope they manage to tie everything up nicely at the end though. I mean, there aren't really many loose ends with the side characters like Batista, Jamie, Quinn, Vince etc, but I just hope they give them some sort of ending and not just have them in the background. I'm a huge sucker for show finales though so I'll most likely be sold on it on an "emotional" level anyway.

Like I said though, I'm enjoying it, but I can't help but feel this main plot is a little lackluster for a big ending. I think last years story arc, with the Bay Harbour Butcher stuff coming up again, would've been better served for the final season, in my opinion.

[ron the dial]

watch quinn end up figuring out dexter to give his career that push in the right direction.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I'd probably have no problem with that. Love Quinn.

[ron the dial]

it feels like that's what they're setting up for, which leads me to believe it's just too obvious. but i think they'll keep teasing it, which is cool because i love quinn as well. he could really use a win. poor guy makes terrible choices, and could stand to redeem himself.

[road doggy dogg]

God dammit. The episode synopsis on Plex read: "Dexter monitors a young psychopath to see if he is suited for his table. Dexter and Debra finally get back to normal, but are surprised by his ex, Hannah."

It pulls the episode info from thetvdb.com. Who was the jackoff cunt that put that right in the episode description? Kind of killed it a bit for me. Still excited to see where this goes though.

[VSG]

Masuka seeing his daughter topless was priceless. Also, Debra is def killing Hannah :'(

[road doggy dogg]

loved dem titties
crossrine

[road doggy dogg]

Not loving the Hannah angle though (spoiler in black)
crossrine

[dronepool]

Is it me or was Masuka's daughter a little hotter in the topless bar?

[Lock Jaw]

I found her less hot. Didn't like the "more makeup" look.

[ron the dial]

Not loving the Hannah angle though (spoiler in black)
crossrine
i am all about it. but i have a HUGE soft spot for yvonne strahovski. either way, i think it's been well done so far.

She's a hot and interesting character so I'm okay with her.

[Sixx]

Her husband looked like Michael Bolton.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Lol I legit thought the same thing.

[Crimson]

Vogel started out as a great character..now she's just there and isn't important.

I never dug Hannah , she ruined the second half of season 7 by turning Dex into a big pussy. Hope she isn't involved as much in the coming episodes, maybe Deb can just shoot her and be done with it.

[Lock Jaw]

I liked Hannah last season. Not digging her this season thus far. The whole marriage angle and whatnot.

[road doggy dogg]

Even though the thread title says spoilers, I'll try not to be a dick, so.

Thought tonight's episode was real good. Did not expect to see Zack dead at the end there. Esp with the brain surgeon thing. It's gotta be someone from Vogel's life or something. Or maybe she is the surgeon and is keeping the samples herself to throw Dexter off the scent. Idk. Great episode though, this season has been mad good. Also fuck yeah Dex getting his dick wet some more. ALSO also, not a whole lot new on the 'Masuka's daughter' front. Wonder what that is going to lead to, if anything. What ever happened with the Ice Truck Killer hand thing that the one chick stole from evidence or w/e? I am foggy on how that was wrapped up. Was it ever explained?
crossrine

[ron the dial]

that dude intern ending up buying it, displaying it, and then shipping it to dexter. pretty sure it ended up back in evidence?

[road doggy dogg]

Yeah I think that's right. I remember thinking "there's going to be more to this storyline" when I watched that. Maybe I was just disappointed with the way it turned out. My longterm memory is awful, too much alcohol.
crossrine

[ron the dial]

vogel being vague about her past and what made her interested in psychopaths is interesting. is she a psychopath that was taught how to live by a certain code to survive in society? was she the victim of one that survived and has an obsession with them as a result? interesting character. glad the brain surgeon is back. seemed far too easy. hope he doens't end up chopping up dexter's head as an ending. zack getting the chop was surprising. lets see how much that fuels quinn's fire to keep looking into him. still think there's a good chance he busts dexter.

[road doggy dogg]

Yeah I think Quinn def nails him. I annoyingly actually watched the preview for next week's episode (hate watching those, spoil so much) and the whole "Quinn kissing Deb" thing opens up some interesting questions. Are they going towards a "Deb kills Dex" type finale, with Quinn exposing him and Deb siding with him? Does Deb side with Dex and they take out Quinn? At that point, how many police officers are they going to get away with killing?

I really hope the writers have a good endgame planned, there's a lot of possibilities here and I'd hate a good series to end on a flat note with a shitty finale. Right now though the show feels as good as it has in years.
crossrine

[ron the dial]

i thought masuka's daughter was going to end up as a potential victim for zack, but now that's out. i still have no idea what purpose she is going to serve. there has to be one, or else why introduce her in the last season?

[road doggy dogg]

Yeah I hope it is leading to something more than just an excuse to show some nice small titties (love them) and give Masuka some extra character depth. I love Masuka but the ship has sailed on trying to establish characters in the show's last season.
crossrine

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Can only see the brain surgeon being Vogel herself now. Maybe she does it "unknowingly" or something. Like a split personality thing. It's too late to introduce someone new and it really only leaves her, Deb's boss or Deb herself I guess in some forced twist. Def has to be Vogel imo.

But yeah still not sure how they're gonna end the whole thing. Some sort of Deb/Dex showdown probably. Maybe dexter kills Quinn which finally makes Deb snap and kill/arrest dexter?

[road doggy dogg]

Yeah it's gotta be Vogel unless they really bring something out of left field. Would be kinda hot if it was Hannah though I can't really see any justification for that at all.
crossrine

[ron the dial]

brain surgeon's gonna get hannah and send dexter over the edge

[road doggy dogg]

I would LOVE that. Just see Dex go totally unhinged. Have like the 2nd-last ep be him just throwing the code aside and being really reckless. Ends with him getting caught and the last episode basically being the fallout/epilogue.
crossrine

[ron the dial]

i just don't see hannah getting caught by the marshalls. it's too easy.

[ron the dial]

DAMN vogel was super interested in hannah, too.

[Lock Jaw]

Quinn is the brain surgeon

[Lock Jaw]

Turned heel, snapped, and became a badass head cutting machine. (Also he killed Cassie and planted Zack's blood there because he hates him)

[Lock Jaw]

The "family dinner" scene in the last ep was cool. Second best dinner scene on Dexter, behind this one:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/BCbPQCL88eU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[road doggy dogg]

John Lithgow the best :love:
crossrine

[road doggy dogg]

It seems obvious Quinn is behind the Hamilton thing, with the door handle or w/e. Would he go so far as to kill Cassie though? I don't think they've really built Quinn up to be "possessed" about catching Hamilton (like they did with Doakes and BHB), it just seems too much of a stretch to think Quinn would do something THAT brash. I've love to be wrong though.
crossrine

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I want Quinn to be the hero :(

[Lock Jaw]

Quinn is behind every loose plot thread throughout the entire series, and is responsible for every unsolved murder in Miami.

[road doggy dogg]

Quinn is really Harry's illegitimate love spawn
crossrine

[RoXer]

Thinking Quinn is the one framing Zack

[Crimson]

I think it's that Ryan Gosling look alike boyfriend of Cassie that killed her and is the brain surgeon. It'd be better if it was Vogel though.

Zach was starting to grow on me as well..was hoping he'd last longer.

[Requiem]

Really, people here want Vogel to be the brain surgeon?

I thought that was too obvious at first. She really seemed like the bad guy immediately, and then she was put on the back burner. But it seems really obvious that she is the brain surgeon and not really that revealing of a twist, so I hope she isn't and that she is actually who she says she is.

[Krimzon7]

Either Vogel or Cassie's boyfriend is the brain surgeon. Unless...

The Brain Surgeon is Dexter. He's got a funky split personality thing popping off and He's been going all bananas with his new personality.

[Crimson]

That'd be kinda awesome. But don't split personalities act different, both personalities would be serial killers.

[VSG]

Vogel has been exploring why Dexter has true emotional feelings even though he is supposed to be a psychopath. Maybe Dexter as himself is a normal guy and his dark passenger is the psychopathic split personality.

the obvious choice wouldn't bother me if it was interesting. it wouldn't be any worse than making it the boyfriend or some random character we still haven't met. give me the proper contect, and i would be all for it. i won't be bothered either way, i'm sure.

[Lock Jaw]

No matter how hard you try Dexter, I will always associate that "Make Your Own Kind of Music" song with Lost.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I made a similar post on Twitter

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Really wish they'd drop the Vogel storyline though and just concentrate in whatever's gonna happen with Dexter, Deb and Hannah. Haven't really been interested all that much in Vogel from the start.

[Lock Jaw]

Had a dream where Hannah poisoned Walter Jr. to death

[road doggy dogg]

Yeah tired of Vogel and Hannah. zzz kill them and Saxon and be done with it
crossrine

[ron the dial]

only 3 episodes left so i'm sure a lot's bound to happen pretty damn quick

[Requiem]

No matter how hard you try Dexter, I will always associate that "Make Your Own Kind of Music" song with Lost.

Yup. They really should have tried another song. Every time it comes on, I just start thinking of Desmond.

[Sixx]

Aimee Garcia and CM Punk?

What?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Oh, missed the name tag. Well played Lock Jaw

[Lock Jaw]

That could be anybody wearing that name tag, though

[Sixx]

That could be anybody wearing that name tag, though

After seeing the name tag I also googled CM Punk's knuckle tattooes.

I'm a detective like that.

[Tazz Dan]

Today's episode was good. Vogel getting killed doesn't surprise me, but it came earlier than I thought. Next two episodes look like they're going to be epic.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

This season has been so uninspiring. Could've been something great but its probably been one of the weaker seasons. Shame for the show to be going out with a whimper after it really picked back up last season.

[Crimson]

Thanx to Hannah

[Sixx]

Yeah, once I download an episode I kinda feel obliged to watch it more than looking forward to it. Kinda like "shit, I've been through so many seasons, I just have to finish this now".

Episodes with Hannah are so fucking boring. There's barely any killing these days, there's more of cuddling and romantic bullshit.

[dronepool]

I'm still loving it, hope to buy all the seasons on DVD or bluray or mixed soon.

[PapaGeorgio]

I feel obligated to continue to watch this show, especially with 2 episodes left. But every episode I watch I wish I stopped at Season 4 and called it a day. Dexter should have never done Season 2, as that is what this final season should be revolving around. Dexter isn't on the run or close to being caught, I think a season where Dexter world crumbles around him and everything he built up is at risk would be a much better season aka Season 2.

I'm glad some of you seem to still enjoy this series, but for me it's just been garbage lately. I liked some of the aspects of this season but overall it doesn't feel like there are only 2 episodes left. When The Shield was ending, those final 2 episodes were just intense as fuck. Dexter seems to be at the opposite spectrum.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, I remember watching Season 2 of Dexter going "This seems like an end of the series type deal. They are running this angle way early."

[Crimson]

Seems the writers just got lazy? It coulda been so epic.

[PapaGeorgio]

Also hate how is isn't really a psychopath anymore. Liked him when he had no emotions and was all about just murdering people for enjoyment. Now it's some moral obligation for him to murder people as opposed to it being his high, his cum shot. I don't mind that he has relationship with his sister and Hannah and shit to an extent, but I liked Rita being purely a cover for the most part. He had some feeling for her at some psychopath level sure, but was for his true love killing people.

[dronepool]

Pshh, season 1-4 are amazing. After that it wasn't as good but still great show and still is. All of Dexter and Breaking Bad are the best shows (or my favorite) out there now IMO up there in the same place with Twilight Zone, The Simpsons, Beavis and Butt-Head and Batman:TAS

[Krimzon7]

So there were leaks all over the net detailing how Dexter would end...it seems as if they're right. Right down to the 'twist' that will end the series.

fml.

[Lock Jaw]

How can you know that the 'twist' that ends the series is right when the series has not ended yet?

Also, don't answer that question because I didn't even want to know that there are rumors of a twist ending in the first place.

[Juan]

This final season has been one of my favorites. Can't wait to see how it ends. Dexter is definitely in my top 5 favorite shows of all time

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Another huge resounding "meh" for this episode. I really don't see the point in them introducing so many new characters and give no reason to care about them. Through all the shows I've ever watched, this may be the weakest run in to a finale in my opinion.

Can't believe they pretty much just brushed the tension between Dexter and Deb away after a few episodes for Saxon to be the main plot. Really underwhelming.

[VSG]

After a looooooong time, I just skipped past this episode to random points and didn't seem like I was missing anything. Dunno.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I think you could probably just watch the last 5 minutes of every episode of this season and not miss a single thing.

My main gripe with the show though is just how sloppy the writing got with the Dexter character in general. He used to be so meticulous with everything he did, and now he's just like "oh you know what, I'm just gonna leave this guy who knows everything about me tied up for the police to deal with." Nothing will be as bad as the video message revealing everything about himself he sent to Colin Hanks in season 6 though.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Oh you'd miss Vince's daughters boobs.

[DrA]

This is a show that really should have only lasted for about five or six seasons. The writers have cried wolf way too many times and trivialized all of the other characters for the sake of Dexter that you no longer care what happens to anyone else on the show. I don't even care too much about what happens to Dexter at this point.

[Lock Jaw]

I still care, and I am rooting for an unlikely happy ending where everyone gets away happy.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

The whole thing should be revealed to be Harry imagining what his sons future will be, but he's growing slightly senile in his age and that's why the last few seasons have been a bit all over the place.

[dronepool]

I hope Dexter makes it, I still love him.

[Crimson]

Was that the most useless U.S. marshall on a tv show ever or what. And as already mentioned, just makes no sense for Dexter to give Saxon to the police at that point.

[Frank Drebin]

This has been quite the letdown. At first I thought my head was going to explode with this and Breaking Bad ending a week apart. Now I'm just waiting for the "meh" undercard next week to give way to the main event the following Sunday.

Iggy pretty much hit it on the nose. For the final season I thought the main bad was going to be someone from the past come back to haunt Dex. Who could it have been? I dunno. Just not invested in a build to end a series when most characters involved have been introduced this year.

And why the hell is Mosuka's daughter here??

[Lock Jaw]

To show Masuka's growth as a person, he is now a "responsible dad".

[Lock Jaw]

Also, hard to have the main bad be someone from the past when everyone from the past is dead.

Unless Astor and Cody turned out to be the main bad.

[Lock Jaw]

That would have been pretty sweet actually. Like they both blame Dexter for their mom's death and have become total psychopaths who want to destroy Dexter, and then find out what Dexter really is, and they become even more psychopathic because of it.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I just think the main plot for the final season should've just been Dexter on the run.

Have him get blamed for LaGuerta's murder, and he takes the fall to protect Deb and so he runs. Someone eventually puts all the pieces together about Dexter like LaGuerta did and we get a huge Miami vs Dexter chase, which would put Dexter back into his old trying not to get caught routine, rather than just nonchalantly meandering through the world killing whoever and whenever he wants. Deb could've been involved in the chase but keeps helping Dexter out and warning him of the police's plans. Then someone like Miller begins to get suspicious of Deb helping Dexter out, but Quinn defends her etc etc. Quinn could finally find Deb and Dexter talking together and realises he was wrong all along, and so Dexter kills Quinn out of necessity.

That's then the final straw for Deb who eventually sees the light and joins the chase for Dexter for real. Then at the end you could have a bunch of different options that would be pretty good. Dexter kills himself to protect Deb one last time/Deb kills Dexter and seemingly "becomes" him/Jamie Batista in a bikini for the last 10 minutes of the show.

Dunno, that's just off the top of my head now with little to no thought and nothing fleshed out but I'd be 5000% more interested in something like that than stuff with Vogel, Saxon, Vince's daughter, Elway, kid who was Dexters apprentice whose name I forgot, random detective that was in like 3 episodes who seemed smarter than every other member of the police on the show.

[Frank Drebin]

To show Masuka's growth as a person, he is now a "responsible dad".

Glad to see him grow so much, so suddenly with a random introduction of a long lost daughter with zero depth in the final season. Was such an integral part of the show.

Also, hard to have the main bad be someone from the past when everyone from the past is dead.

Unless Astor and Cody turned out to be the main bad.

Well....Yah. I just want to see Lila's tits again.

[Lock Jaw]

Hey, the daughter has enough depth. (We saw her bewbs)

[road doggy dogg]

I agree with basically all of the criticisms posted on the past page or so.

That all being said, I have been enjoying this season. I whole-heartedly feel that the show peaked during season 4 and has been treading water ever since. Also agree that season 2 (with a different ending) would have been a much more engaging final season to the show.

I don't have much else to add. Just feel like the show has been going through the motions the past couple years. When the series was first premiered it was such a novel and cool idea, the aura of the show was fresh and I loved every episode. Season 2 had some good drama and season 4 was one of my favourite television seasons ever.

Since then though the "main bad guy" of each season has been largely forgettable IMO. This season, I GET that they want to do the whole "Dexter is evolving" angle but it just isn't... I don't know, not really believable to me. I don't know if it's the writing or the acting or whatever it is but I'm just not buying Dexter as an emotional human being. Maybe I'm just so down on Hannah and as such I can't see her as being the catalyst to humanizing Dexter. Whatever the reason is, I feel this season doesn't strike as hard as it could/should have.


I still love the show, but I feel like I'm more infatuated with what it could have been as opposed to how it actually is. And I hate feeling like a giant wiener for criticizing, 'cause I really have enjoyed much of the series.

[road doggy dogg]

Also, hard to have the main bad be someone from the past when everyone from the past is dead.

Unless Astor and Cody turned out to be the main bad.

I never read it, but in the novel weren't the kids more closer to Dexter in terms of being killers or something? I remember someone telling me that or reading it somewhere or something

[Corporate CockSnogger]

If I remember correctly, Cody was showing signs of being a nasty little bugger much like Dexter himself when he was young, and they were hinting at him being "like Dexter." I could be way off on that though, read the books a while back now.

[Requiem]

I think part of the problem is that Dexter and Hannah don't have much on-screen chemistry. The actress never made me like her whatsoever in her season or during this season. Their repertoire is boring together and they don't make a good fit. The only person I could have seen truly humanizing Dexter would have been Lumin, but she was too normal and moral to keep being around Dexter so it would have been a really one sided relationship.

[Lock Jaw]

Isn't the reason Dexter kills in the books that he has been possessed by a space alien or something? I remember maybe reading something about that.

And that Doakes comes back as a cyborg

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Jesus, I never actually got as far as the third book where that's revealed apparently. Just looked it all up and the "dark passenger" is actually a spirit demon that possesses Dexter.

[VSG]

I still thought my split personality theory was best.

[dronepool]

Shit, I have a hard time getting into novels, if I read I enjoy reading about things or biographies/social commentary/philosophy type stuff but my love for the show has me tempted to maybe get the book(s)...

and Lock Jaw, that spoiler? for real?!

[Lock Jaw]

No, apparently that one is false. James Doakes does not come back as a cyborg in the books.

I probably got the idea from seeing this image, and thought it was something that happened:

[road doggy dogg]

lol

[Frank Drebin]

That pic is great on so many levels.

[Lock Jaw]

Imagine if in the series finale, Dexter and Hannah are just about to get away.... they have seemingly overcome all obstacles... but then CYBORG JAMES DOAKES comes out of nowhere and is all "Surprise, Muthaf***a" and then it just goes to black and that is how the show ends.

[Frank Drebin]

I would prefer that to the ending I'm imagining we are going to get.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

That would be great on so many levels.

[VSG]

lol that would be amazing

[Requiem]

I would watch that show.

[Krimzon7]

There have been spoilers out since the debut of this season. Honestly, none of them made much sense, and went with the obvious plot twists, that the old dectective knew all along who dexter was, that deb kills dex, that dex kills deb, blah blah blah...

but then. There was one batshit insane theme, that ran the course of four/five episodes. It started with Deb tying to kill dex, getting help, Hannah coming back, and Deb coming back to the police force while there is a manhunt for Hannah and ultimately dexter...I hate to say that every fucking detail in that scenario has come to pass...and if it holds true, you all will be some pissed motherfuckers at how this shit goes down tomorrow night.

[road doggy dogg]

I haven't read any speculation at all about this series so I don't know who's been predicting what, but the only thing that would really piss me off is if there's a really "clean" ending; i.e. Dex and Hannah getting away and living their life in Argentina, Elway getting popped in the iairport, Deb and Quinn getting together and "living happily ever after", etc.

Dexter was never really pushed as a "redemption story" for the main character, so for them to really kind of half-assedly force that narrative in a subpar final season would really be disappointing.

[Krimzon7]

Not gonna spill any details, but heres an article.

http://www.examiner.com/article/more-dexter-season-8-finale-huge-spoilers-another-spoiler-ending-surfaces

[Krimzon7]

Let me be the first to say...I was wrong. I don't know how I feel about the way this ended.

[dronepool]

I liked the ending.
