Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

[annihilate22]

Just my opinion, but no. A better place would be the customs forum though, there are some people on these boards with brilliant Dexters, look them up, see what they did, get their opinions. You'd be surprised how helpful the people in those threads can be.

Well I missed out on Katos, I was too late to the game. (I didn't want to create a new thread or derail an existing one so I thought I'd post here.)

And now I don't think anyone is making his chinos.

Ask Dave for permission to the private custom section, there is a thread in there you might like.:wink1:

:horror

Lemme check with him... :duff

There were perfectly accurate cargo pants on ebay a while back, many people used them on there dexter, I actually think Dexter used that particular pair more then the pair Katos were based on ( which I believe were used mostly in season 1)

Those pants don't look to be on ebay anymore.. :( but maybe they can be got somewhere else, anyway enough of this custom chatter! :D

^Haha...Thanks for the heads up.

A new trailer for the seventh season of Dexter showed up just last week, and while there hasn’t been any new footage shown from the new season, it does hint at some big things happening between Dexter (Michael C. Hall) and his sister Deb (Jennifer Carpenter), especially following the cliffhanger ending last season. Hopefully we’ll get more of an idea of what this season will entail at Comic-Con next month, bot for now, we have some hints from executive producer Sara Colleton who not only details some of the plot points of the forthcoming seventh season, but also confirms that the eighth season will be the last for Dexter.

“This was definite. We wanted to end it this year, but the network convinced us that it would be best to do it in two years. In some ways, this is a two-season series-ender. We have worked that out and know where it’s going to end. Next year will definitely be the last year of Dexter. Absolutely.”

Are you referring to this in bold?

'Dexter' Adds 'Chuck' Star Yvonne Strahovski for Season 7
http://m.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/dexter-yvonne-strahovski-chuck-336318

She'll play an independent woman with a past that she has struggled to put behind her on the Michael C. Hall-Jennifer Carpenter drama.
Chuck star Yvonne Strahovski has found her next gig, and it's a killer.
The actress has been tapped for a multiepisode arc on Showtime's Dexter, the network said Tuesday.
She'll play Hannah McKay, a strong, independent woman with a past that she has struggled to put behind her on the Michael C. Hall-Jennifer Carpenter serial-killer drama. As Miami Metro reopens old cases, the department turns to her for assistance as Hall's Dexter Morgan begins to wonder if there's more to Hannah than what she reveals.
Katia Winter will play a Russian stripper who works at a Miami club and joins Season 7 newbies Jason Gedrick, who will play the manager of the same Miami strip club, and Ray Stevenson, who has been cast as the leader of a Russian organized crime syndicate.
Previous A-list guest stars with season-long arcs have included Jimmy Smits, John Lithgow (who took home the Emmy for his turn) and Julia Stiles.
Showtime renewed Dexter for two additional seasons, which likely will bring the series to its end. On Monday, Showtime moved forward with its two drama pilots, Ray Donovan and Masters of Sex, ordering both to series. The projects, starring Liev Schreiber and Michael Sheen, respectively, represent a continued push on the part of entertainment president David Nevins for big, flashy and culturally relevant fare.
Strahovski, who is set to appear in I, Frankenstein and Dan Fogelman's The Guilt Trip, starred as Sarah Walker in all five seasons of NBC's Chuck, whose series finale aired Jan. 27. The actress is repped by IFA Talent Agency and McKeon-Myones Management.

Couldn't agree more. I actually felt it needed to end at season five.

[CelticPredator]

I would've been fine if it ended on 6. I liked 5. It's where it needed to go.

But 6....Man, that was a waste of time.

I could have done without the M. Night crap from last season. 6 had the ending 5 chickened out on, but you all know they couldn't just let it end like that.

Don't envy the writers though. They gotta top the 4th season by the time season 8 wraps. I hope they manage to do it.

[mistermadhouse]

won't top Season 4. This show has been on the downhill for a while now.

[Frank]

Didn't say it would be easy, but knowing that the end is in sight will hopefully encourage them to go all out.

Can the series end with Dexter still breathing?

[pixletwin]

Even bad Dexter is better than about 98% of everything else out there in TV Land.

[mistermadhouse]

Even bad Dexter is better than about 98% of everything else out there in TV Land.

I would've agreed with that in the Season 1,2 and 4 area. But nowadays I would have to disagree with that statement. Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Breaking Bad....all superior shows in terms of writing caliber.

Yes, Dexter is still worth watching, but 98% is a little too high a number in my opinion.

[pixletwin]

Ok. 97.9% then.

[crows]

that is true up to season 6, when it became just as bad as everything out there, or worst

But not beyond redemption!

we will see, I mean, I really hope the next two seasons can be at least decent, I am afraid and sad that season 6 might be the jumping shark,

[Calcifer]

In season 7 we find out season 6 was all a dream and it never happened, I'd be cool with that!:D

[pixletwin]

The only complaint I have against season 6 is it veered a bit too close to daytime TV in writing.

[Frank]

Unless they figure something out quick, there's noone else close enough to pull him into the ho-hum ordinary life facade role. Deb was the last bastion on that one.

I kinda have a feeling he's just going to unravel into a fully-fledged "bad" serial killer. He has been getting alot sloppier in his work and not following his "code" very closely since season 4...

[CelticPredator]

But not beyond redemption!

Oh no, not at all. But still pretty bad.

[Frank]

Oh no, not at all. But still pretty bad.

Have to agree lol.

[Niltusk]

Alot of Dexter's strength from season to season is determined by who hes pitted against. I have a feeling this season will be a huge rebound for Dexter.

Even if we do get a villain in the same league as Trinity and Ice truck( I won't hold my breath), Dexter could still be written baldy in his actions, ____ me he was a complete idiot last season! Dexter's cleverness is an important part of the character and I feel it has really diminished, ya some would argue they had to make him ____ up so deb would catch him but still Killing a guy at a location his sister knew he would be at!:cuckoo:..:(

Dexter is caught by a bunch of Russian cannibals, and he sees how effective eating the evidence is.
That's him on the right tied to the tree. He escapes, and frees Yvonne Strahovski and they make it back to Maimi in one piece. That's when he decides to take up cannibalism.

well judging from the pictures at least Deb will be on Dexter's side, I was wondering how that was going to play but all those pics show that Deb is talking to Dexter and even hiding his secret, so that's good, that is something I was wondering about, I mean, sounds obvious she would be with Dexter, but is nice that is for sure

well see in all the pictures flashing we see them together after she finds him, we see them talking and


seems like they burn the church to cover things up, while that is never Dexter's style, it makes me wonder what will Dexter tell her? will he tell her the truth, or make something up? i mean for them to burn the church, that would imply dexter told her something else? a lie?

Also, she let Dexter go that one time, not even knowing its him. If she compromises for a stranger... Dex and Harrison are the only family shes got, Dexter can just tell her the truth thats needed. "I kill criminals that you guys can't find or that get away"

wow I completely forgot about her doing that! good point!

[averagejo]

I think...and it's just my humble opinion...that Deb will eventually turn Dexter in. She's always strived to be a good cop and seemed to want validation from her dad so badly that she never got, hence her relationship with Lundy (father figure)...if that makes sense.
I think her good cop mentality will get the better of her and she'll do it, regardless if it's her brother or not, she'll turn him in. That's JUST MY OPINION so please don't stone me.

Btw...did anyone here get a weird survey in February regarding Dexter and the characters past and present?


How would you describe the last scene of the last episode? PLEASE CHECK ONLY ONE.
Professor Geller reappears to taunt Travis
Travis is about to stab Dexter
Debra witnesses Dexter killing Travis
Travis is sneaking around Dexter's home
Masuka discovers new evidence

[Sidewinder]

I see Deb protecting Dexter, but if they begin the hunt again for the Bay Harbour Butcher, I don't know how much she's willing to cover for him, particularly if any innocents get caught up in it.

I agree that she won't turn Dexter in straight away, she allowed Lumen and her vigilante killer to get away because she felt those men deserved what they got. I can see Dexter telling Deb that he was that vigilante and he's just trying to get justice for people.

Perhaps a trumped up outside plot contrivance (lightning? lol) takes care of that for them.

I hate those. Unless they really work for it!

Whatever happened to brilliant little arcs like when he spent a few episodes looking for the boxer's body? I'm just thankful there's no more Colin "check out my last name" Hanks. Sorry to all you fans out there, but he was straight up cardboard the whole time for me.

Colin is good for the College guy role like Orange County, he was good in that, he is good for silly roles or young roles,

This Was WAY too big and important for him, I would have accepted Colin Hanks even as an intern or someone new to the department, something else maybe, Not the main villain, that was pathetic,

Yeah, definitely. Hanks didn't earn his dramatic stripes until Philadelphia. Up until then, he had proven success with the funny everyman lead type. Colin hasn't really established himself as anything other than the straight guy type. I don't envy that poor guy though. Trying to differentiate from pops is hard when you sound just like him.

the bad guys sucked, at least Hank junior did a really bad job, his change from good to bad is cheesy,
it also had a dumb dexter, recording a message in front of his boat was pretty stupid, as well as sending that message to him, if the police found him they would have found the video.

also Dexter escaping the boat like James bond was super cheesy, there were a lot of stupid cheesy moments like that,
bad writing, Dexter not being clever, or being too obvious,
the ending was the stupidest thing of the whole season

[CelticPredator]

Pretty much. Also, incredibly predictable.

Especially if you build it up so much. It was common knowledge halfway through that there was no Geller.

So when it was reveled....Meh.

[crows]

I mean, Dexter Still is Dexter, The Dexter

still better than any other show on MTV or VH1 or CBS,
but for Dexter Standards, it was pretty bad, it was worst than season 3 or 5, which are the most hated seasons,
I personally liked season 3, I enjoyed it,

I actually really liked the twist. I could see it coming but was not prepared when it came. He really had my sympathy all up until we learned the truth. But I will agree that Dexter does some really stupid stuff. Lots and lots of risk.

Brother Sam has been the best thing so far. Really pissed when they killed off his character.

[Frank]

It would have been better if they double twisted it and Geller was alive. Hanks is much better playing the acolyte than the mastermind. He had zero acting chops in that department. Earn your last name junior!

and

Dexter was so damn sloppy I could hardly believe it. His methodology was crappy in the 4th season and he paid for it, but it's been painful to watch the last two seasons. Pick it up writers!

[crows]

the thing I hated about Hanks Junior is how One Note he was,

when he was good, he was super good, he was an altar boy,
then Death Gellar talks to him, and he becomes Damien from the Omen?
what Happened to the nice and friendly part? I Hated that, Another actor should have handle that much better, he was too one sided,

I Would have liked it a lot more if he was more troubled between good and bad, if he was in between, like a conflict within,
like, The Goblin in the first Spiderman did it so perfectly when he was talking to himself in the mirror, I loved that,
I would have wished to see something similar here,
but then Hanks Junior sucked the life of this season.

I also wish Gellar was real, I hated that he wasn't ,I was really hoping he was real.

Ok so I just finished season 6 and I must say the wait could not feel longer for the seventh season:lol

The inconsistencies with Travis' character ruined it for me. Although by the end I was really feeling his bad guy regime. He shined through as a sick minded monster, much better than his performance in the wormwood episode. Would've liked to see a reprise of Gellars character. It feels as if his time was cut short and he never got the conclusion he deserved.

The start of the last episode was perfect. The camera shots, narration and music really outlined Dexters struggle and what he had come to. But the whole season was filled with messy kills and risks, that ultimately backfired on him.

I mean, why kill Travis in the church everyone expects Dexter to be at? I know it's about symbolism for what Travis has done, but it's such a HUGE risk. At any time he could have had an officer or detective drop in and see how he's doing. Which is exactly what happened.

My hopes for season 7 is that Deb covers for Dex, but becomes increasingly suspicious about his late night boat trips. She'll try and smother him is my guess, and protect Harris

From what they've already shown of the opening of Season 7, if Deb is not aware that Dexter is a serial killer through and through, it will diminish her character tremendously.

I don't know. I could see her struggling with her conscience over whether she believes he is a killer or not. I can't see her accepting the truth straight away, even if it is very obvious. She might feel sorry for Dexter and try to spend a lot more time with him.

We'll see.

Yes, I agree with that.

I'm sure she will be in denial over the whole thing. I was just saying that if she doesn't put 2 and 2 together that he is the Bay Harbor Butcher, then that means she's just dumb.

actually, you reminded me of something I hated as well, I really wish Gellar was there until the end, I wish Gellar never disappeared from his mind as well, I wish he was with him until the end, talking to him and telling him what to do,

it will all be on the writing, if they do a bad job like in season 6, you could see Deb doing stupid things like not figuring out Dexter is the butcher, which I think it's what will happen exactly, she will be in shock and won't think straight, she will be too confused over her feelings for Dexter.
Unless they make someone evil Kidnap Deb for the whole season 7,
sounds ridiculous, but, I Wouldn't be surprised if they did that LOL :lol:lol
or amnesia :rotfl

[Darklord Dave]

I didn't hate Season 6, I thought the exploration of religion was very interesting. I do agree that Dexter did get a little sloppy and the final scene shows him paying for it. But I do love the new dynamic this will throw into the mix for him.

specially brother sam,

the season just suffered from a weak bad guy,

[pixletwin]

Geller was the least of my worries with season 6. What bugged me were the moments like when they are at a crime scene (all taped off, the other detectives have been there for at least 30 minutes) and Dexter arrives and is the first to notice a big obvious bloody trail or else Dexter is the only one that thinks "gee these intestines might belong to that guy we found a few days ago with no intestines"... They dumbed everyone down in season 6. Alot.

see I forgot about that, a lot of people were saying before how Dexter is actually the only "Detective" in the entire department too

[pixletwin]

But Dexter isn't even a Detective. That's what is so stupid. He is a labrat. An analyst. The further they move away from that the more they have seemed to lose touch with who Dexter is.

But Dexter IS smarter than everyone else and sees connections at crime scenes that only a serial killer might see.

[pixletwin]

But Dexter IS smarter than everyone else and sees connections at crime scenes that only a serial killer might see.

True. One of the biggest appeals to Dexter as a character was his ability to manipulate events from the shadows. But in past seasons he would filter that info through other people (ie Debbie, Matsuka, or Angel). Dex's whole MO used to be to keep his head down and blend in. But now he is like the precocious wunderkind of the Miami Metro. :doh

[DinoLast]

But Dexter IS smarter than everyone else and sees connections at crime scenes that only a serial killer might see.

I agree Dexter has always been the best detective, that's how he stays one step ahead of getting his prey, before the police get to them first. Also he has to be a great detective to see if they fit the code.

[Frank]

But Dexter IS smarter than everyone else and sees connections at crime scenes that only a serial killer might see.

Like a gigantic oil painting in the middle of the room with Dexter's face on it? Maybe he's smarter than the writers too!

[die]

The best part of Season 6 was when Debra walks in and Dexter realizes she's there, it was brilliant acting on Michael C. Hall's part as he really seemed to automatically and awkwardly switch from Killer Dexter to Mild Mannered Dexter. I thought that was done perfectly.

And I watched the panel from Comic-Con and all the previews, interviews etc. for Season 7 and I'm trying to pump myself up and be positive about it but I think we have to face it... this is the time where they REALLY have to deliver. The writers were speaking at Comic-Con and they sounded pretty confident that they have opened up so many possibilities for Season 7 but the truth is the whole Debra/Dexter thing has to be handled well or this Season will be hard to salvage.

they better not mess this up.

Oh, well, and Louis and the hand, that looks like it will be important but, that's all. There was the super-hot intern. But really, there wasn't much.

Okay, so maybe there were a few things worth watching.

[Niltusk]

I don't know about that. I was never in this thread and found the last season very bland. There were some palpable moments, but not the same as you got in the older seasons, plus, I think the Trinity storyline took it to another level and I feel nothing has held up to that since.

I'm sure reading others thoughts can influence you a bit, but I think you probably would have felt a bit underwhelmed regardless. Anyways, this season looks to be back to full tilt verge of being found out old school Dexter we all know and love, I'm hoping its the best yet. :clap

this is why whatever we see in the previews is hard for me to know what is real and what might be in Dexter's mind,

the funny thing is that, Deb reacted like one of the ways Dexter imagined, the crying one

I loved that scene. :lol

Whopps, I meant Dexter. No way it is his imagination anymore. The slap, the running out of the house, Dexter telling Deb to back off, Deb sneaking up on Dexter checking his activities.

The Slap the running might be real yes,
but the slides it kinda looks like imagination, I don't think she will find them like that,
unless that is near the end of the season or something, I just dont see it, that would make Deb sure he is the Bay Harbor Butcher

[BlitzOUT]

WOAH! This new season is going to be tense! I love how Deb starts checking in on Dex and keeping a close eye. Doesn't look like she's being sympathetic, but rather trying to protect herself. And Dexter looks like he's about to explode.

He really needs a new girlfriend........

It's not only the slides, she found the kill gear also. I believe this will happen at the start of the season as to build tension for the rest of the season.

[Sidewinder]

I don't know if that scene is real or just Dex's imagination, but Deb is certainly going to put the pieces together. She asks the nanny if Dex works late often, she's looking a pictures from the ITK killings, she remembers being strapped to Rudy's table in that same way as Travis. Also the fact that a bloodslide is found at the crime scene, surely Deb is going to add that to everything else and come to the conclusion that Dex is the BHB.

[krec9]

Looking forward to this season looks intense.

the reason I don't think she found them is because, well, that would confirm he is the Bay Harbor Butcher, no doubt about it, finding all the kill tools and the slides completely confirms it,
what can Dexter say about it? how could he save himself,
he would have to kill her,
I mean, maybe she did find them, but that to me kinda looks to me like maybe Dexter was thinking about it

You've got to remember, Deb can pretty much justify anything to herself. Dex can come clean and say look, I've been killing the bad guys that we can't put away as a police force.

Its not a big leap of faith either, Deb already let Dexter go once when he was behind that curtain and at that time she justified who she thought was a total stranger doing the killings, because the men "deserved to die".

[Kamandi]

I'm pretty close to letting go of this show. I need to be really impressed by the season 7 premier.

I really didn't like last season. Weak villain, EJO was a 'head cylon', Deb was creapy, gore was CG... in general the show is focussing on stuff other than Dex and that's a mistake.

Let Hall do the heavy lifting and give the story focus back to him.

[Niltusk]

Yeah, I agree Kamandi, I think it was the weakest season yet, but I hope for a strong rebound this year.

[crows]

I have Dexter 1-5,
I like ALL Seasons, I like season 3, season 5 was a little bit annoying but I still like it,

a lot of people say that season 3 and season 5 are the weak seasons, I loved 3 and I like 5,

I cannot stand season 6, it was pathetic for me, it was mediocre and awful, just the worst season of Dexter so far,

and i have a Problem, I have seasons 1-5, but I don't know if I should get season 6, I feel that, to have the complete collection I should buy it, but the season sucked so much I wonder if I could just skip it, or if I really need to have it, I don't know..

Deb finding out will Save this season, I think, even if we get a really crappy stupid bad guy, (Or maybe No real bad guy at all, like in season 3, no real good killer) the tension between Deb and Dexter will be enough to carry the season, I think, and Dexter being watched and going on edge, not being able to control himself, that would be good

Wait until season 7 air before buying last season.

I loved the first two seasons of The Sopranos, and kept watched as the show became less with each passing season. I stopped buying the box sets waiting to see if the show ever came back to old form, which it didn't.

Back to Dexter - Deb has been a character that tries my patience more with each season. I think she will probably die this season. Dexter has Clark Kent's luck - every time someone learns his secret something happens to them to make them go away. Knowing that Michael C Hall's marriage with Carpenter fell apart makes me think he might have an added incentive to have Deb written off the show.

The worst mistake this show made was killing off Dokes. Dex needed a credible foil.

[bigbrocha]

Last season was pretty bad because of Colin Hanks being so unbelievable, Edward James Olmos was good, the premise was decent but Colin Hanks could not deliver. It was almost as bad as the season with Jimmy Smits, hopefully he won't make SOA garbage this season. I'm looking forward to Dexter though cause I really enjoyed season 4 and 5.

[actiontrooper]

Before the season starts, does anybody know the status of 1/6 figures? I thought I read somewhere Triad Toys had the license and was going to produce a 1/6 figure. I guess we'll never see the Miami Metro cast in 1/6th scale at this rate. Has anybody made any custom cast members sculpts available in 1/6, besides the custom Dexters? On the outside chance someone has a painted T****r version or other head for sale, please pm me. Hopefully the writers and producer brought their A game for this season, and are able to build a good story line that arcs into the final season.

meh, I didn't even think about that

thinking that way, and thinking how crappy season 6 was,
I can predict one thing maybe,
Deb dies in the hands of the villain in this season, not in the Hands of Dexter, and in a twist of Faith Deb dies either Protecting Dexter or His son
and Deb will die in Dexter's arms, bleeding, while Dexter says "it's okay it's going to be okay help is on the way"

then we will have a Dexter monologue on how every single time someone finds out about his "dark Passenger" they end up dead,

I mean, seriously, that is so horribly cliche and soap opera, that, I Would not be surprised if it ends that way,
the season might be good, but, think about it, there is a change that is exactly the ending we will have for season 7,
I hope to be wrong, but, how else would you end it, specially when what you said is very true,

unless Dexter Kills Debra himself, which, I do not see the writers doing, since he is "America's favorite Killer"

I stopped caring a while ago, there were never any news or anything regarding the figure,
my Guess is that the show will end in its 8 season and we still won't know anything about the figures, they might not even ever be release,

[crows]

I was watching season 5 of Dexter and something made me realize,

There are people cutting heads off all over, the Santa Muerte Case but Dexter cannot bother to follow them instead of the guys that take the girls?
I mean, I just think that was weird, he has a case everyone is working on, people that cut heads,

but they have to to the whole "renting a moving truck and finding blood by coincidence" thing they did?
I wonder why they didn't just make Dexter work the head cutting case and getting those killers?

I guess they needed to give Debra something to do?

What the hell guys? Dexter is this weekend and this thread is as dead as his victims.

This season looks like it will redeem itself with Debra finding out and the intern dude trying to make life hell for Dexter. Wonder if Debra will die this season.

I really hope this is not the last season like rumoured. This season should be the setup for the final season cause 12 episodes are really too little.

[Sidewinder]

What are you talking about, the show was already picked up for a 7th and 8th season ages ago. The 8th season will be it's last, next year.

[noisetrigger]

There are now rumours that this season might be the last. Apparently Michael C Hall has only signed on for one season.

[Sidewinder]

I haven't heard any of that. Last I read he wanted $1 million per episode for the final 24 episodes, for a total of $24 million, but the network only wanted to pay $20 million. However a deal was struck and the show was renewed for 2 seasons. I would be surprised that they would have renewed for a season 8 if Michael hadn't signed on to be in it.

[noisetrigger]

It was talk about in this thread many pages back but I am really happy if he really did sign on for two seasons!!

[crows]

we all already have discussed how crappy season 6 is,
there is not a lot to talk about,

One must admit that the title does make fans of the series think of Doakes. Why pick such a title with such an obvious reference to a popular character? Sure maybe it really means nothing but would be kinda cool if it really meant what I think it meant.

IMO Showtime really made a big mistake killing Doakes. He is really the only worthy opponent of Dexter (with the exception of Trinity of course)

Maybe they are bringing him back ala Brian Moser. Would be cool with Doakes being his moral centre

[Kamandi]

IIRC Doakes remains were confirmed with DNA. They didn't really leave an opening for the character to be alive. For Doakes to re-appear he would need to be in Dex's head like his Dad or Brian. This show uses that too much already, so I hope they don't go there.

Option 2 - It sounds like something Deb would say. Maybe Dex thinks Deb is dead for the later part of the season.

[pixletwin]

What would you guys all think if Doakes came back as a ghost ala Harry? :lol

"IMO Showtime really made a big mistake killing Doakes. He is really the only worthy opponent of Dexter (with the exception of Trinity of course)"

Dont forget rockstar serial killer hunter Frank Lundy. Dex said it himself.

[Kid_A]

Its possable Doaks can be in Dex's head like Brian, at comic con they said we might see more characters in that form. Maybe Dex feels guilty now that the bay harbor butcher case is surfacing. Or maybe Laguerta finds out. I hope they kill her off! Greatest season ever.

[Sidewinder]

I think it would make perfect sense for Doakes to appear as one of Dex's ghosts. LaGuerta will reopen the BHB case to try and clear Doakes' name.

I also wouldn't mind LaGuerta dying this season, she was a downright pain the arse last year.

I think it would make perfect sense for Doakes to appear as one of Dex's ghosts. LaGuerta will reopen the BHB case to try and clear Doakes' name.

I also wouldn't mind LaGuerta dying this season, she was a downright pain the arse last year.

You're being to generous! She was a total career-climbing double-timing beyotch. The writers already killed off her integrity, so an actual death wouldn't make as much of an impact.

But if Dexter has to go down, it might as well be over the one guy who had his number from the start. Doakes' exit was premature and having the killings pinned on him was tolerable only as long as Dexter was doing his best to adhere to his code. Now that Dex has broken that deliberately (although impulsively) a few times over, the posthumous framing of Doakes seems all the more senseless.

I have little sympathy for a sloppy killer!

[crows]

I would love to see Laguerta dead by the hands of Dexter,
that would be shocking and powerful, it woul show how deep Dexter would go to stay free,

[Sidewinder]

Imagine Dexter killing LaGuerta and Deb knowing that it was him lol. What would she do then?

I can't wait for this season.

[Niltusk]

Buy him a beer?

LaGuerta has done pretty well at making sure she has no friends in the department. Shes snaky enough to run for a public office. :lol

[Sidewinder]

Deb would definitely be first in line to off her herself :)

[noisetrigger]

Tonight's the night!!!!

[Kid_A]

...and its going to happen again and again. Has to happen.

[crows]

Nice night. Miami is a great town. I love the Cuban food. Pork sandwiches my favorite

[BlitzOUT]

How many hours till it airs? I'm in Australia so I have no idea.

[Niltusk]

8ish hours here :yess:

Hoping for a great season :duff

[Mr. EcKo]

Sorry a little late - I just made this

[Mr. EcKo]

Wow what a wonderful episode to kick off the season.

Dexter is gonna be FKN BRUTAL this season

[CelticPredator]

I was worried they'd puss out and say that whole last scene was a dream.

Finally. She knows.

[Devil_666]

Crazy. Really hope..

That ending wasn't another damn fantasy. Just get it over with already. lol.

[CelticPredator]

The previews suggested they are not.

[Devil_666]

Didn't watch the preview for next week. Don't get Showtime anymore.. caught it live on a stream. lol.

[CelticPredator]

Ah. Well, I will confirm that they have a conversation about it right after.

In the preview.

If they pull a dream thing, i'll stop watching.

[Devil_666]

Me too. Until the following week.

[Frank]

I knew it wasn't going to be pretty. Deb went against all her training as a cop and allowed Dexter to pull some fairly blatant social engineering on her. She had enough information right in front of her she should have called it in. Of course no one wants to get caught up in a trial, but it might have kept Deb from allowing herself to become an accomplice.

Dexter an pull off alot of things, but what he magically did with Deb was the easy way out.

Now, past that it got increasingly better, but I don't buy Deb's delayed understanding of everything she should have instantly recognized from the beginning of the episode. Predictably, they took great liberty with how gullible she could really be. The only thing that allows her some sort of moral high ground now is her stupidity which I will not grant her.

It was a decent ending because it kept the tension going, but they ruined Deb for me.

[Mr. EcKo]

The whole episode is on YT from Shotime

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S4Cn7xeiUY&feature=g-u-u

[Buttmunch]

Great opener!

I'm glad it didn't take Deb all freaking season to figure it out. I'm glad it only took a single episode, although it does seem weird to the audience, but in real life, the shock of a "relative" doing something so out of place like that would probably make you want to believe them at first too. But I think it showed how good of a dective Deb is to have gone from that to knowing the truth in one episode/day.

In the books she's known the truth since the end of the first book (aka season 1) so I've felt its about time that happened on the show. Last year at SDCC they basically said thanks for the idea, but beyond the first book, we haven't even read them or care to, so even knowing how Book Deb reacted doesn't mean Show Deb will be the same.

And am I the only one that think Dexter taking on the Punisher might be kinda cool? :lol

[cokebabies]

Man, I hate it when I go to pay for gas, and my credit card is INSTANTANEOUSLY declined.

[cokebabies]

Misc opener thoughts:

I'm braced for disappointment, but cautiously optimistic.

I enjoyed S06E01, but HATED season 6, so the season opener isn't a great indication. But Dexter + Deb vs what looks like maybe Laguerta (trying to use the slide as proof the Butcher is still active and therefore wasn't Doakes) could be interesting.

Also that lab tech who looks like that guy from Big Bang theory could be good, if used well.

So good opener, please don't screw the rest up.

[crows]

Man, I hate it when I go to pay for gas, and my credit card is INSTANTANEOUSLY declined.

they pretty much explained why that happened,

[crows]

What I did find weird is how easily Dexter got the guy
I mean an Airport? with cameras and security and everything? that was kinda too much, specially since he killed him there and everything,
I thought Dexter would take him to his car at least, that made me feel like we might see stupid stuff this season, it was just too much,

also why would the intern
close his accounts? just to mess with him? I wonder if there is another reason behind that. that was kinda weird.

so, Dexter got the hand in the mail but there was no monologue about it or no WTF? moment from Dexter? what's up with that? the hand just happened to be there? they made it seem like it was going to be such a big deal...

[Frank]

Last season, Hanks Jr. actually opened the box that Dex hadn't gotten around to looking at. It's a very real possibility that Deb found it before he actually came across it. That was cool, but I don't think she needed any more confirmation outside the slides or the cellophane for that matter.

[cokebabies]

That's not how credit card processing works.

[CelticPredator]

They did. It was the douchy douche nozzle who did it for no reason

[mattman6886]

One thing that bothered me:

Deb distracting Masuka from Travis' body by asking if it's possible to kill yourself with a sword. WTF kinda dumbass question is that?!

[CelticPredator]

Yeah, I think the same writer from last year's travesty is still on. So I'd expect some idiocy.

[crows]

That's not how credit card processing works.

Have you ever purchased gas (or almost anything) with a credit card?

[CelticPredator]

He's right, it doesn't work that way.

And neither is there an app that can read finger prints.

[CelticPredator]

Have you ever purchased gas (or almost anything) with a credit card?

Yes. I have. Or used a debit as a credit.

[crows]

One thing that bothered me:

Deb distracting Masuka from Travis' body by asking if it's possible to kill yourself with a sword. WTF kinda dumbass question is that?!

well Think about it

you have Dexter in a middle of a crowded airport where security is tight and there are cameras recording and everything, you have an open bathroom where someone could have walked in on Dexter drugging the guy, then you have Dexter killing a guy in a same manner, in a room where someone that works there Just happened to be in, what if the guy came back, the one that closed that door of the room Dexter used. really sloppy kill if you ask me

Today's kill was really weird, no ritual, no safety for Dexter, no pictures of his victims,
I understand he was under pressure from Deb finding out but Dexter Always prepared the ritual, at least the pics of the victim,
he didn't even cut the body up, I don't know... this doesn't feel right, kinda feels like a copycat Dexter took over the real Dexter in that one moment

[crows]

Have you ever purchased gas (or almost anything) with a credit card?

Doesn't matter if it doesn't work that way, what matters is that at least they gave an explanation, even if it was a stupid one

[CelticPredator]

Actually, aside from the Deb finding out thing, this episode was weak.

I'll give it 3 more chances till i'm done.,

[crows]

Do we really need spoilers now? WTF? Why would anyone come here to talk if they have not seen the episode this is going to get annoying....

Another thing I didn't like was the guy getting shot, so the only person with a reason to think he didn't commit suicide because of the car just happens to drive in the same street where the russian guy had problems with his car? and the trunk just happened to be OPEN? WTF? you would think that guy would be more careful with a body in there. that whole scene was too convenient

[CelticPredator]

I haven't hit the spoiler box. Deb knows Dexter's secret=.

[darthviper107]

He's right, it doesn't work that way.

And neither is there an app that can read finger prints.

He probably had a fingerprint scanner that he could plug into his phone, really quite an easy thing. Or if he wanted to he could take a picture of a fingerprint that they took from the victim and use that.

[Kamandi]

Thread title says spoilers. People were warned.

I agree I'm glad they didn't draw out Deb making the bigger connection. I've had a hard time respecting her character for the last few years. Doakes is the only cop who ever picked up on Dex? Please. Maybe they will stop writing Deb to be a fool.

I'd like to see them set up the end on the show this season. It's about time they took away Dex's safe little world and make him dangerous.

Nitpicky thing, but the iphone fingerprint app was retarded. In the real world not only can iphones not use their screens as a scanner, but it takes hours to get a computer match on a print.

Clearly it was convenient for Mike to die, just as it was for Doakes to die.

As for the boot being open, the keys were hanging out, he'd already unlocked the boot to start changing the tyre, Mike simply opened it up again.

[Mr. EcKo]

It's always the Token Black guy gettin killed off :lol

I personally liked Mike , sad to see him go .

I think Lewis is gunna have a big part of the show. He has a hatred towards Dexter from last season when Dex didn't approve of his game on serial killers . Lewis is infatuated with Dex only to be shunned away by him.

Maybe Lasquirta stole the blood slide to run her own tests on it? Probably not but who knows after all the diaherea last season.

Deb and Dex are gunna FK :exactly:

[BlitzOUT]

Conviencies aside, I enjoyed this episode. It has tension, and gave Deb's character much more meaning. Also, I like that they are bringing up Doakes again. It's been too long.

The ending was jaw droopingly crazy. I didn't think they'd go there that early, but I'm glad they did.

[Niltusk]

Stopping alone for someone broke down on the side of the road at night? That had "getting killed" written all over it. :lol

[Niltusk]

Nitpicky thing, but the iphone fingerprint app was retarded. In the real world not only can iphones not use their screens as a scanner, but it takes hours to get a computer match on a print.

Having the Iphone instead of a real scanning device was very quirky, but it would not take hours to get print ID if someone was being submitted for a job screening and thats low priority. Its definitely not going to take hours in a double homicide where one victim is an officer. It was shortened sure, but how much screen time do you want devoted to them showing the searching screen?

Same with the credit card decline, who cares, its just a device to show the status of the cards and that that weirdo is trying to **** with Dexter. :dunno

[crows]

yes I did not have a problem with the fingerprint app or the card declining,

I had a problem with Dexter killing a guy in the middle of a crowded Airport in plain Daylight, What the F@#$!!!!!!!
He really just goes in a room of the Airport where people that work there can walk up any minute and he kills a guy? no security cameras and no one noticed.????
seriously, What the hell was that? the sloppiest Kill they have written for Dexter yet, it was so out of character and so unbelievable,

[Sidewinder]

Stopping alone for someone broke down on the side of the road at night? That had "getting killed" written all over it. :lol

I know :lol As soon as you saw that you knew it was curtains for Mike.

[Sidewinder]

What is Louis' obsession with Dexter? He bought that ITK hand before he even started working for Miami Metro. Did he know Bryan?

[Niltusk]

Hes obsessed with serial killers in general and seems to have a thing for Dexter, so I guess now hes scorned because Dexter didn't pat him on the head when he showed Dex his video game. He'll probably end up as a bigger part than just a Dexter creeper, like maybe discovering Dexter and asking to be his padawa...err apprentice.

[Devil_666]

Mike dying (real life explanation) = He has a reoccurring role on Sons of Anarchy now. :lol

[Kamandi]

I've lost count of how many times Dex was conveniently invisible in a place that should be fortified with cameras.

Hes obsessed with serial killers in general and seems to have a thing for Dexter.. (snip) .. maybe discovering Dexter and asking to be his padawa...err apprentice.

Or maybe he makes Deb disappear permanently.

[darthviper107]

Nitpicky thing, but the iphone fingerprint app was retarded. In the real world not only can iphones not use their screens as a scanner, but it takes hours to get a computer match on a print.

I don't think he used the screen, but in any case it wouldn't be hard to run a search for a fingerprint match in just the one city. Fingerprint matching times are greatly exaggerated on TV

[crows]

Mike dying (real life explanation) = He has a reoccurring role on Sons of Anarchy now. :lol

I am kinda glad he left, I never really liked him, he added nothing for the show (The character i mean) I have to admit I was kinda glad about that shooting, I was not looking forward to seeing him again.

I've lost count of how many times Dex was conveniently invisible in a place that should be fortified with cameras.



Or maybe he makes Deb disappear permanently.

yeah I know but a F___ing Airport.. is like the writers are saying
"F__ it, lets just write whatever, people will watch Dexter no matter what"

that whole Airport scene still has me thinking, it was too much even for Dexter, specially since I was expecting Dexter to kill the guy somewhere else, not There... :gah::gah::gah:

[Calcifer]

Eh, great seeing dex again but not great seeing more of those sloppy kills and bad writing, one thing I found odd is that Masuka managed to miss the prints on the indicator, that was convenient for Dexter wasn't it?:slap

[Mr. EcKo]

Eh, great seeing dex again but not great seeing more of those sloppy kills and bad writing, one thing I found odd is that Masuka managed to miss the prints on the indicator, that was convenient for Dexter wasn't it?:slap

that's because Dexter found the print on the turn signal before Masuka did

[Kamandi]

Billy Brown is better utilized on Son of Anarchy as Pope's right hand.

If the guy weren't Russian I'd be fine with the search taking a couple of minutes. As they said on the show he didn't have a criminal record in the states, Dex would need do do a search against an international datebase to get his prints.

But whatever. CSI and NCIS take greater leaps of logic in any given episode. If I had a dime for every super grainy video they "enhanced" I'd be rich. Instead of "enhance" they should say "generate evidence".

TSA would have that lost and found room under surveillance, if no other reason than to take sh-t and sell it on ebay.

[CelticPredator]

I don't even remember the character. I forgot 89% of season Six.

[cokebabies]

A review that sums up a lot of what I feel about the opener:

http://www.avclub.com/articles/are-you,85338/

I wouldn't have rated it as highly, but I agree with most of the text itself.

Even with all the convenient plot devices, it's nice that they actually went right into the Deb seeing Dexter aspect, instead of having another goofy moment where Dexter convinces Deb she's on PCP or something.

[crows]

for some reason that beginning Tease with Dexter escaping really reminded me of Breaking Bad, since their episodes tend to start that way, I don't know why but it reminded me of that show
