(sorry for going off topic from dexter, but i'm a big weeds fan, gotta rant...)

i'm always a little baffled to hear how many people tuned out when agrestic burned down. the first post-agrestic seasons are about consequences of the suburbian lives the show parodied. kevin nealon's character goes from being high roller to couch surfer. celia is living in a public storage unit. nancy and her family of course are bottoming out in their own fucked up ways. i think it was a natural progression and entertaining despite being less relatable

i do admit quality took a big hit the last two seasons and its obvious the writers don't really know where to go. but the old cast is trickling back in so they're obviously trying to end the show full circle, so its worth the watch if just for that imo.

if anybody gave up on the show after agrestic i strongly recommend giving it another shot. season 5 in particular was really good, i'd at least watch up to that

while we're on the subject, the shooter in the season finale is the son of the DEA agent nancy married. doubt anybody cares, but there it is

i cant help but think of this line whenever Harry shows up this season and LOL randomly in the middle of the episode

this is usually followed by a puzzled look from whoever's with me at the moment

OR since deb seems like a lost soul with no life besides police work, dexter dies or goes to jail, and deb takes the kid and now has a purpose in life. curtain.


When they killed Rita I was pretty surprised.. I picked up on it in the final episode but I still remember being like, what. the. fuck.

I'm wondering how they are going to introduce the intern video game maker plot. Dexter's other brother? Not expecting much but random stalker/ serial killer enthusiast-turned serial killer seems too obvious even for them. Hmph. Maybe him and that blonde chick are like the Bonnie and Clyde of serial killers.

I read on some other board that it would be interesting if the video game dude released his game and somehow outed Dexter. Would be interested to see how Dex would deal if the main protagonist in a serial killer game called him out at least highly hinted to his identity. Not sure how they'd explain the dude figuring Dexter out, though.

they're definitely going somewhere with that guy and i hope it continues onto the next seasons and its not some subplot they wrap up right away in the next episode.

same with the whole laguerta going bad cop again, she's obviously going to die (she dies in the books) but i kinda hope its not right away

That is one idea I have thought about.. but he seems especially interested in dexter so he must know something and maybe larger motive. But he also seems to idolize dexter too because he seemed genuinely upset at Dexter's negative reaction to the game.. and how he got angry after I can't tell if that was at himself in a psycho way for disappointing it role model or anger like he wants to snap Dexter's neck.

I just remembered that he found out about the creepy hand thing because of the Masuka telling him about it on ebay...but hadn't someone already bought it? so the blonde girl could be irrelevant. Its just so lazy to have someone from a class steal evidence and have another person from the same class buy it. Then again its also extremely lazy to have Quinn suspect and have possible evidence of Dexter being a killer and then to just drop it. Who knows maybe all this shit will come together in some immaculate finale. Doubt it though.

I figured you were but I didn't know what episode you were talking about. I believe I may have missed the finale... I watched it online and thought the episode was the last one, with those dutch guys? Oh man spoiler I guess.. I better go find that,

maybe they were trying to show that the intern guy was the one who bought it off ebay.

They showed that when he was banging Anhel's sister...it's just weird to me how it gets sold by a student in his class and then the one to replace her bought it. whatever as you can see I've already wasted enough time analyzing dexter when all that will really happen is something stupid

during this week's episode it occurred to me that they might be trying to unexpectedly introduce him as next season's serial killer.
i might be off but they're so far from subtle, who knows. he obviously has a fascination with serial killers, he enjoys collecting serial killer memorabilia, he's an obvious nutcase (getting all butthurt about dexter and leaving his date) and socially awkward.
either way though its fantastically boring and stupid. the finale is going to have to be ridiculously strong just for this season to be saved, somehow. and it's not going to happen. i think this was my last dexter season

Has this been CONFIRMED? I know it was the most common theory immediately after the finale.

honestly all teevee series jump the shark, even the Wire

i think that moment was when McNulty was bent over a corpse trying to make it look like it was sexually assaulted by a fictitious serial killer

I think he's going to become an actual killer, recreating the crimes of past killers and taunting Dexter over the next two seasons.

I thought so too or he might already be one but that is so dumb.. what are they going to do? get rid of doomsday and bring in another protagonist with the same exact demeanor ? one scrawny pale freakazoid is enough

My larger overriding question with Dexter is: if there's all these murderers in Miami, and Dexter keeps killing them before the police do, how are any of the police department higher-ups keeping their jobs? They finally alluded to that this season with Debra getting reamed out over percentage of open murder cases, but in all reality, La Guerta would have been fired SEASONS ago. Why does no one in that station ever realize they are really, really bad at letting murderers go mysteriously missing right as they thought they were closing in?

And yes, I know this is hardly the biggest plothole in Dexter.

this season has been pretty painfully bad the last few episodes.

the only good episode was the one where dexter becomes evil gun shooting, slut banging, stooges listening dexter. and even that episode had some stupidities within it.

also laguerta is the biggest sociopath on the whole show. i find that hilarious

not trying to disprove your theory here but i suppose a few of the murders are officially attributed to the wrong person and dexter kills the real murderer?

Well, in the one-episode-off murders, they (presumably) never solve the original murder, nor do they ever seem to discover the original murderer has went missing, which presumably would get reported to the police. Or then like with the Barrel Girls case last season, all the 5 guys the police are looking for gets attributed to one of them killing the rest -- with no bodies! -- and then the main guy just goes missing. Like Trinity did, etc etc. The police department never ACTUALLY catches anyone. They've got to have 6 seasons of open cases (or at least 4 if we go with the first two season all getting blamed on the Bay Harbor Butcher).

What gets me is that they occasionally bring up the Bay Harbor Butcher or the Ice Truck Killer once or twice a season. Clearly in the universe of the show these are still much talked about cases (hence people stealing Ice Truck Killer evidence from the police station and the like). But one would think that if some serial killer obsessed people are still interested enough to look into the Bay Harbor Butcher very deeply at all, it'd become pretty clear to them that Doakes was not the guy. The way the whole thing was so flimsily pegged on Doakes has never sat right with me. And even when characters after season 2 have discovered what Dexter does, no one seems to put it together that he is the real BHB.

Because there was a painting of Dexter as the Devil they waited to go into the crime scene. How nice of them. Bunch of mexicants just happen to run into Dexter floating in the ocean. Looking forward to bro and sis fuck buddy killers.

Kind of surprised they rolled that ending out. especially with a couple of more seasons left to shoot. WTF are they going to do now?
