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).

They "caught" the Bay Harbor Butcher.

Show me positive reviews of the show, outside the first two seasons and season 4 (and that was more John Lithgow than the actual show getting praised). If you're talking like "how many people are watching ratings," well what's the old line: no one will ever go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public?

Yeah basically that. Seems a lot of people watch it and enjoy it. It's the same deal with Weeds. That show was/is fucking terrible yet all sorts of people watched it and acted like it was good.

Deb found out at the end of the first book so stop being stupid

they aren't actually brother and sister, dummy. Dexter was a foster child. She already fucked his biological brother anyway.

i know we barely agree about anything but yeah i saw like parts of season 3 or something of weeds (it was when she married the mexican drug dealer trope) and it was HORRIBLE goddamn

Yeah, man, I said as much in my last sentence. Even if you want to use the deus ex machina of Doakes getting blamed for all Dexter murders from before the start of the show up to the end of season 2, we still have 4 seasons worth of murders and missing persons that never gets addressed. The public outcry over that many open cases would be way more than a vague, rough boardroom meeting like the show portrays. Wouldn't at least one cop go, "hey, you guys noticed we haven't actually solved a murder in years? Whats up with that?"

[Trotskilicious]

All those unsolved murders would probably be dumped on the bunk, just because he's buds with bushy top

i'm just going to keep making wire references in this thread because i can't stop clicking on it

I'm going to give season 7 a chance, but if it's just Deb covering for or aiding Dexter in committing murders/having a debate within herself for 2 seasons on whether or not to bust him, then I can't see how that'd be compelling television and I'll probably peace out on it.

make sure you never read the books then, you'll be bored to tears

my buddy told me that the third book somehow manages to still be more ridiculous and idiotic than the television series

Trinity doesn't count - it was and is an FBI case. Technically the department closed the case as "it was Trinity" and the FBI case is still active. Remember Lundy brought that case in and MMH was only investigating THEIR murders. Which of course they solved.

Yeah, that's what other people have told me. Don't they get wildly into the occult after the first book (the one that basically covers seasons 1&2)?

[Trotskilicious]

there's something about a demon

the third book had "the skinner" from the season with Miguel (who isn't in the books) but in a more.. .fleshed out part.

the third is probably the weakest of the series but the skinner is really a badass.

no i was being sarcastic because deb knows about dexter after book 1. also there is some occult stuff but it's not overpowering, it's more how dexter personifies and relates to the dark passenger.

[teh b0lly!!1]

the writers justified this entire terrible season with the ending.
it's shameful that this has been begging to happen for 6 seasons and now when they finally do it it's through that whole retarded incest thing. remember how last season she found dexter during a kill behind some curtain or something and just walked away?

for the last time for those of you not paying attention, fucking your foster brother is not incest

[teh b0lly!!1]

yeah yeah, im not being all 'this is an outrage' and shit, but as far as character development goes, that's the writers' train of thought. deb and dexter grew up together and have conducted as siblings for decades

it's like saying it's cool to fuck your non blood related aunt or something because it's technically not incest

it may not be cool because she is/was married to your uncle

would anyone really be that disgusted with an actual incest plot?
its just a tv show

i guess pumpkins numbers already covered why its not as bad as the entire premise of the show
you people are weird

they shouldnt have killed the black guy that says motherfucker a lot

surprise motherfucker

[Order 66]

i just started watching six feet under and its sort of mindblowing seeing micheal c. hall gay and skinny

anyway i saw the dexter finale.. i'm embarassed to admit but i kind of enjoyed this season. the travis/religion plot was ridiculous but redeemed by the way past plots are finally starting to come together and wrap up. honorable mention to the doomsday killer murders, most creative since the ice truck killer, despite being utterly ridiculous and unbelievable

better than seasons 3 and 5 imo

[teh b0lly!!1]

even though i hated this season i kinda have to agree.
season 5 was the most contrived, bottle-episode-streched-to-a-season piece of shit i ever watched. season 3 was very bad but it had good momentum after season 2 so it was kinda meh.

i think if they rounded out some of the rough edges on this season, and had they had momentum coming off a great season, say, like season 4, this could have been a much more memorable season.

The question of why Dexter would use a crime scene the police already knew about, where he said he would be, and during a manhunt for a criminal the police thought was still on the loose is beyond me.

because it had already been combed over for evidence and he was doing the closing, figured there would be no reason for anyone to go back... stupid but plausible. mostly they just needed to work deb catching him into their story line
