Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

[BuddyGus]

I need to hurry up and watch season 4. I just started watching this show this year. Knocked out the first 3 seasons and trying to get around to the 4th before this starts back up. Great show. Hope this isnt't the last season, but like so many others I don't want it to lose its appeal.

[Morbach]

This is not the last season. It was said on the comic con panel. Maybe season 6 will take place in jail.

I actually thought this also :lol

[-jay-]

I actually thought this also :lol

How cool would that be? :D

[SwedishHeat]

I think after this season we'll get a clearer picture of how much time we have left. I can't see it going past 7 seasons. Realistically, how long can a serial killer work in a police station without getting caught?? Dexter will have to answer for his crimes, they're not going to end the show without resolving the fact that he mutilated 20-30 people.

[Seditionary]

It must be more than 30 people. There's plenty of unseen murders. Isn't his slide box almost filled up now, and the last one was basically there too. that means at least 50-60.

[316what]

It must be more than 30 people. There's plenty of unseen murders. Isn't his slide box almost filled up now, and the last one was basically there too. that means at least 50-60.

I believe the last slide he put in the box during Season 4 was between 21-24.

[fawk3s]

Dont forget that one of his slide boxes was taken as evidence against Doakes in the Bay Harbor Butcher case. That was almost filled up too.
Plus the murders before taking trophies.

[CelticPredator]

Trailer looks INTENSE...this season will be brutal. 4 was insane...I've never seen something like that before.

[fawk3s]

I liked the first and the second season best.

[Dark Passenger]

Does anyone have any idea what slide number Valerie Costillo was? She was the woman that Dexter killed with her husband. The Ice Truck Killer dove and put her body back. Then the ITK scratched the smiley face into the slide. If anyone has any idea what slide...

(a shot in the dark, I know.)

[DinoDB1975]

Just a heads up for all Dexter fans...

Amazon's Deal of the Day is Dexter Seasons 1-3:

DVD is $48.99

Blu Ray is $69.99

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=xs_gb_A3NFEW6BJM9NK8?_encoding=UTF8&node=130&hidden-keywords=B002APNJCE%7CB0029XZODO&pf_rd_p=441937901&pf_rd_s=right-1&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_i=20&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0NJGBC9Q76HSHQZCH6CT

Really tempted to get this, as I've been waiting for the price to drop on the Blu-ray set for a while. I'm also a little disappointed that they Season 4 isn't included. I may wait for the series is finished to get the inevitable complete series package. Anybody know if there is any indication if Season 5 will be the last, or how many seasons are remaining?

Requiem for a Dream gave me chills there.

[CelticPredator]

^ it made me facepalm....but that was brilliant otherwise.

[ink]

finished season 4

[Dark Passenger]

Curious as to why they showed the Kill Plan for Miguel Prado... Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

[usswanker]

Hell yeah! I cant wait for the new season. Has there been any new news on the 1/6 Dexter from Triad?

[CelticPredator]

I've been watching Season One on netflix. God I love this show.

[fawk3s]

Curious as to why they showed the Kill Plan for Miguel Prado... Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Just a homage to the third season I guess. If you look closely, you can see the doll head and record player from S1, BHB manhunt newspaper from S2, hammer from S4 and maybe even more, dunno if I noticed everything.

[CelticPredator]

I bet this whole series is going to end with Dexter sitting in a white padded room cell, forever. Being alone. Just like he really wants. Just....alone. He'll look up at the camera, and smile, and it was pull back out of the room, and back through the hospital, back...back...back, until we're out in miami, and we fade out into the sunset.

Hardly think so. Considering his past and the constant killing he has been doing, without even a blink of an eye, I dont think any of the forecoming events are gonna knock his socks off. And if its discovered what he has been doing, he's pretty much certainly a deathrow inmate.

That would be an obvious ending, but we'll see.

:exactly::exactly: Call me crazy, but I think he'll find "peace" and resign from the killing business without anyone knowing.

[fawk3s]

I actually had to read a book for my English class, so I chose Dexter in the Dark. He pretty much found peace/got rid of the Dark Passanger there for a brief glimpse of time, but that only screwed his life up even more. He doesnt know how to live without it. :lol

[ShadowX81]

Has there been any new news on the 1/6 Dexter from Triad?

You mean that thing that looks like Karl from Slingblade? So far there havent been any updates in months.

And that kid gets 45 years? If he wants to be so much like Dexter, give him the punishment that Dexter would get, lethal injection.

This happened almost a year ago.

[Seditionary]

Yeah, I read about that in the paper a long time ago. It's not the creators of this show's problem to explain to the children of america that it is make believe...this is on the parents unfortunately.

or maybe if the kid was actually allowed to watch the show he would see that dexter kills murderers, not innocent children.

dexter aint no ginger.

Dexter isnt a ginger. He might have a bit redish hair colour but its more of a brown imho. Plus he doesnt have pale skin.

Not that being a ginger is bad or anything :lol

But you don't need to know anything about it, the first episode pretty much tells you what it's about.

[Seditionary]

so what'd we think of this new episode? It was pretty miserable...I really felt like I was at a wake. I'm feeling for dexter and he isn't giving much. I don't want to watch this episode again.

Wtf is with deb. I can't wait to see robocop as a secret inspector.

I hope to see quinn on the table this season.

[Giant Chicken]

Show was good. Everything is just so different now. I am still trying to deal with Dexter's loss. I am interested in where the show is going. The new serial killer case looks crazy and the Kyle Buttler story line will be fun. (the last comments come from the "next on" segment at the end of the episode)

[ChaserFan]

I thought it was a great episode...

...and I have no doubt that Quinn will end up dead by the end of the season, whether by Dexter, or someone else.

[-jay-]

Yep i really enjoyed it as well. :clap

[CelticPredator]

I'm calling it now....Quinn's a serial killer.

Everyone who saw Dexter for what he is was a killer. Doakes, Lila....and now Quinn. :D

[Dark Passenger]

Michael C. Hall is an amazing actor. He made me hate him, feel bad for him, and laugh at him yesterday.

How is he going to explain where he was? The 911 call is not looking good. I want him to tell Deb already! She already knows he is the Ice Truck Killers brother!

This is going to be an amazing season.

[Seditionary]

Yeah. He really sells it. he's like distant enough for you to just want to see him express something but theres only like really little subtle damage there. he is a really great actor...he has total control over this character. There was something insanely innocent about how he was acting.

[Devil_666]

I'm calling it now....Quinn's a serial killer.

Everyone who saw Dexter for what he is was a killer. Doakes, Lila....and now Quinn. :D

So how do you explain the Trinity Killer being fooled by Dexter?

[316what]

So how do you explain the Trinity Killer being fooled by Dexter?

It doesn't need to be explained.

Everyone who saw Dexter as a killer, was also a killer.

That doesn't mean that every killer sees Dexter as a killer.

[Devil_666]

Meh.. that's lame. Because that's more of a coincidence then. Lila for example.. the only person she ever killed was Doakes. No one before that.. yet she "saw" Dexter's dark side BEFORE she ever killed someone. And the only reason she knew for sure that Dexter was a killer was because Doakes told her. So I'm not buying it.

[DinoLast]

I really enjoyed the first episode of Season 5.
I think it needed to be like that to tie up some loose ends of season 4. When he went on the run, I was thinking no Dexter don't do it, and then he caved that guys brains in, I was like, WTF he has totally lost it. Great to see him finally get some control back at the end.

What awesome acting there when he screamed and lost it! Gave me the chills. His eyes even looked black in that scene.

[Dark Passenger]

So how do you explain the Trinity Killer being fooled by Dexter?

Dexter's whole life is about camouflage. He mimics every human emotion and was taught to fit in at a very early age. It's no surprise to me that he can fool everyone but Doakes.

[DinoDB1975]

Meh.. that's lame. Because that's more of a coincidence then. Lila for example.. the only person she ever killed was Doakes. No one before that.. yet she "saw" Dexter's dark side BEFORE she ever killed someone. And the only reason she knew for sure that Dexter was a killer was because Doakes told her. So I'm not buying it.

Actually, Doakes was Lila's second victim. Remember she confessed to Dexter that she set her ex-boyfriend's place on fire with him still in it?

Most telling moment of Dexter's disconnect to me...when he told Astrid, Cody, and the grandparents of Rita's death and says "I'm sorry for your loss".

With the Mickey Mouse hat on... I actually hated him a little for saying it like that.

[DinoDB1975]

Yep, totally unemotional.

It's interesting that he was able to show emotion after he murdered that dude in the restroom (this has to be his second non-murderer victim, right? That guy was guilty of being a douche, but nothing else...his other non-murderer victim was that photographer) but not to the kids or at Rita's death.

A litlle hokey of me, but I was hoping that Dexter would finally break down and cry at the funeral.

[The ill Jedi]

This season definitely hit the ground running, but I agree that last nights episode was miserable. I got a kick out of the season preview where the therapist tells him he needs to, 'Do something for Dexter' and he smiles. Gonna be a great season, I can already tell.

[Dark Passenger]

@DinoD- I think the breakdown was more of frustration and anger over letting it (Rita) happen. It was guilt, not sadness. I don't think he will ever feel sadness and cry to be honest.

@Devil666- Doakes never knew Dexter was a killer before he caught him. He always said, he knew something was up but never this. He never suspected Dexter of being a murderer. Lila never did either. His mimicry of humans is that good.

[CelticPredator]

So how do you explain the Trinity Killer being fooled by Dexter?

He had too much ____ to worry about. He, unlike the other people, hated what he was doing. He would want nothing more then to not be a part of it. But he does. Because he has to.

Lila (she killed before), Doakes, and Brian all knew, or atleast sensed something about Dexter because they embraced who they were.

Or if that doesnt work for you, Trinity had more of a full life. Dexter had the same, but unlike Trinity, he lives to kill. That's his job.

[DinoLast]

Yep, totally unemotional.

It's interesting that he was able to show emotion after he murdered that dude in the restroom (this has to be his second non-murderer victim, right? That guy was guilty of being a douche, but nothing else...his other non-murderer victim was that photographer) but not to the kids or at Rita's death.

Fourth

The Pedo and Miguel Prado's brother

[CelticPredator]

^ Pedo's deserve to die. And the brother DID attack him....so it was self defense.

[Devil_666]

Actually, Doakes was Lila's second victim. Remember she confessed to Dexter that she set her ex-boyfriend's place on fire with him still in it?

Yeah.. and that was a lie. Read up on it.

Doakes never knew Dexter was a killer before he caught him. He always said, he knew something was up but never this. He never suspected Dexter of being a murderer. Lila never did either. His mimicry of humans is that good.

I didn't say that. CelticP did.. :lol

Everyone who saw Dexter for what he is was a killer. Doakes, Lila....and now Quinn. :D

[CelticPredator]

Which is true. Mitchell didnt because he wasnt paying attention. He looked at Kyle Butler, not Dexter Morgan.

[Devil_666]

Still.. your theory doesn't make sense bro.

[El Skutto]

How is he going to explain where he was?

I guess if things start looking bad for Dex, LaGuerta and Angel will have to fess up and confirm that Dexter was busy being the witness to their marriage when Rita was being killed.

I'll admit that I didn't enjoy the premiere as I thought I would, but I remain optimistic that the season will improve as it progresses.

For all those people wanting Quinn strapped to Dexter's table, may I ask why? Quinn is a (somewhat) honest cop so why should he die? Because he's getting close to catching a genuine serial killer?

[ChaserFan]

For all those people wanting Quinn strapped to Dexter's table, may I ask why? Quinn is a (somewhat) honest cop so why should he die? Because he's getting close to catching a genuine serial killer?

I don't necessarily want him to be killed, but from the trailer, it looks like he gets very close to finding out Dexter, like Doakes did. So unless the plan is for Dexter to be caught, I don't see how they can keep Quinn past this season.

[Dark Passenger]

Meh.. that's lame. Because that's more of a coincidence then. Lila for example.. the only person she ever killed was Doakes. No one before that.. yet she "saw" Dexter's dark side BEFORE she ever killed someone. And the only reason she knew for sure that Dexter was a killer was because Doakes told her.

Still.. your theory doesn't make sense bro.

Does mine?

[fawk3s]

Hm I dont think Doakes was actually that kind of a killer. He was a veteran who had seen and done too much. But he didnt actually enjoy killing.

[Dark Passenger]

Doakes never even suspected Dexter of being a killer. The scene where Doakes catches Dexter on the dock he even says he knew it was something but never this.

[Devil_666]

Does mine?

Depends. I mean obviously within the context of the show he's successfully fooled the majority of people close to him and has blended in. So in that sense I agree with you. But in reality, watching the show c'mon: Dexter STILL acts awkward and weird. :lol

But I agree with you. Except for the part about Doakes.

To me, for people who like Dexter they look past him. But for people who don't like him they look closer and that's when they see inconsistencies in his behavior, etc.

Look at Quinn for example. Before the incident with him stealing money and Dexter seeing it (and all the crap that followed) Quinn never paid much attention to Dexter. If THAT Quinn were in the last episode.. he would've been like everyone else: feeling bad for Dexter and his loss. But since Quinn doesn't like Dexter.. he looks deeper.

And to me.. that has more to do with being suspicious and always thinking the worst of someone you don't like as opposed to accepting and not questioning the actions of a "Friend".

[DinoDB1975]

Yeah.. and that was a lie. Read up on it.

I did...and you're right. It's been so long since I watched Season 2, I must have forgotten that point.

And dispite reading the lie thing...where and which episode was it said exacly? Because I dont remember it...and I just watched it. :slap

Well it was half truth not a full lie.
The Lie was that she was a drug addict, and that she went sober after killing her boyfriend. Fact was she is not an ex-drug addict, but a compulsive arsonist and sociopath, and she went to support groups as an attempt to feel other peoples emotions. She did kill a boyfriend, but felt no remorse

[CelticPredator]

^ So I was right. Ok then. :)

[fawk3s]

He killed like crazy in the second season. He popped caps into everyone. :lol

He did kill a few people, but they were all justified. Take Curtis for example. He didnt want to go to prison so he made the choice of aiming a gun at Doakes. Doakes was forced to shoot him. He didnt enjoy doing it. So he wasnt a killer in that way.

^ So I was right. Ok then. :)

Okay, so now I'm confused. Did she or did she not kill anyone?

I remembered her saying she set fire to her ex-boyfriend's place with him in it, killing him. But after Devil_666 said that was a lie, I looked up the season synopsis on Wiki and it said it was a lie. But like CelticP, I have no recollection of her saying it was lie.

[Devil_666]

Well there's two reasons.

1. Deb did a background check on her and found no mention of her being a suspect in any arson/murder investigation. Just that she was in the states illegally.

2. Lila was a pathological liar. So EVERYTHING she said is unreliable. So it's impossible to believe anything she said in any episode she appeared in.

No it does not say its a lie.

Lila was a compulsive arsonist, and was responsible for at least four fires:

She set her ex-boyfriend's house on fire while he was inside, passed out on drugs, killing him.
She set her loft on fire to get sympathy from Dexter, when they were drifting apart.
She set a cabin on fire in the Everglades, killing Sergeant Doakes.
She again set her loft on fire with Astor, Cody and Dexter inside, in an attempt to kill them all.


The lies are highlighted
She confessed to Dexter that she went sober after unintentionally killing her ex-boyfriend (see above) while intoxicated This is later revealed to be a lie; she is in fact a sociopath who hangs out in support groups as an attempt to feel emotions she is otherwise incapable of. She immediately sees through Dexter's "mask" and becomes obsessed with him, believing him to be her soulmate.

Here's an awesome video I found via Dexter's Twitter. Shows an awesome up close shot of the Kill Tools and Blood Slide box. The Blood box was made courtesy of our own General Frosty. You can get a Season 5 box here.

2. Lila was a pathological liar. So EVERYTHING she said is unreliable. So it's impossible to believe anything she said in any episode she appeared in.

1. Because it was ruled off as an accident.

2. No. She killed her boyfriend. That's why she killed Doakes at the end. She wanted to be like Dexter in a sense that she had an MO. Which was setting fire. Plus she set fire to her whole apartment. It all comes full circle.

[Devil_666]

2. No. She killed her boyfriend. That's why she killed Doakes at the end. She wanted to be like Dexter in a sense that she had an MO. Which was setting fire. Plus she set fire to her whole apartment. It all comes full circle.

1. Nope. That would've been mentioned by Deb. She was already suspicious of Lila.. trust me that would be a HUGE red flag. No mention of any arson or any (ex)boyfriend dying in a fire. Nothing. The only "dirt" Deb found was that Lila was in the U.S. illegally on an expired Visa.

2. Nope again. She killed Doakes to protect Dexter. Because in her mind.. if Doakes escaped she'd lose Dexter (arrested) and she honestly thought Dexter would want her after killing Doakes.

[CelticPredator]

Dude, for once you're totally wrong. lol.



She said THEY RULED IT AS AN ACCIDENT. Why would they have her even in their radar if she fleed the scene before the police got there?

She killed Doakes to protect Dexter...but she STILL killed him the same way she killed her boyfriend. The arsenic stuff wasnt just thrown in there for ____s and giggles. It was a character trait. She kills her boyfriend with fire, she burns her apartment down twice with fire, and she kills Doakes with fire.

This is all facts shown in season 2. If you think everything she said was a lie, then maybe she didnt bring dinner to Dexter that one time. Maybe she brought breakfast. Maybe she's an Alien. She's a liar right? Maybe she lives in the sewer, and never lived in an apartment....if she cant be trusted.

Show me where it says she didnt kill her boyfriend with fire, and i'll say you're right. But the facts all said she did. The wiki, the episodes, everything.

[Devil_666]

Dude, for once you're totally wrong. lol.

I'll take that as an admission that Predators sucked and completely bombed domestically. :yess:

:lol:lol:lol

[CelticPredator]

I love Predators. And it's getting a sequel. :lol

[Morbach]

Great episode last night. I think that was better than the season opener.

[ChaserFan]

Yeah, definitely was another great ep...loved the emotion Dex showed out on the balcony with Deb, and when the kids were driving away.

Btw, loved MCH on Letterman the other night! :rock

[Morbach]

He was on Regis and Kelly too. He's promoting his *** off :lol

[Seditionary]

Last night's episode was awesome. It feels like you can have fun watching it again. I hope if Astor and Cody return things will be more resolved. The breakfast scene was almost there.

Is Quinn becoming likable?

[barryo]

Is Quinn becoming likable?

i'm thinking quinn is becoming extinguishable...................:panic:

[Devil_666]

What's up with Quinn's hair!? Did he visit the Bosley Medical Institute in between seasons!?

[ShadowX81]

Didn't really dig the episode last night. Seemed apsolutly ridiculous to do something as extremem as relinquishing all parental rights after a couple difficult days and some premature teenage angst by Astor. You would think after losing Rita, losing his kids too would be something Dexter wouldnt be willing to do without a serious fight.

[SwedishHeat]

I guess the idea is to hit the reset button. It's been a LONG time since we've seen him hunt somebody. He was always arm in arm with Trinity. So, they're probably just going back to basics.

I didn't notice though, is Harrison staying with Dexter??

[CelticPredator]

^ I think so. No reason why he shouldnt.

I loved last night's episode. It was really heartbreaking. You could tell Dexter was in pain. I felt pretty bad for him.

Cant wait for the kill!

[El Skutto]

Loved the second episode! Whereas the premiere had me dreading another season of "hunted Dexter", episode two effectively killed that premise. Sure, it looks like Quinn'll stumble onto Dexter's performance as Kyle Butler, but I'm thinking he might not go all Doakes on him because of it. If anything, he might sympathise with Dex and let him off. After all, Arthur Miller did kill Dexter's wife, so he might just see it as an act of revenge.

Meh, it's a theory. I don't want Quinn to die. :pray:

[hairlesswookiee]

^^^Yeah I'm not sure where they'll take the Quinn tracking down Dexter plot, but I doubt it'll be like Doakes. However, I do think it's going to end very badly for Quinn just from the way he's getting more screentime and how they're trying to make him more likable.

[DinoLast]

Well I think Quinn might be heading for Doakes' fate from the book Dearly Devoted Dexter. It depends if this new Serial Killer turns out to be a Dr Danco type character.

Also it looks like Dexter is going to pass on the Oil Drum killer

[DinoLast]

Well I was wrong on Boyed, he got his.

Looks like it's really going to kick off next week, can't wait

[Devil_666]

Man, Dexter is making one mistake after another. :lol

[Dark Passenger]

Man, Dexter is making one mistake after another. :lol

I know man. He didn't even set up a proper kill room. He saved the blood for the slide in a Tupperware?! He is losing it.

[Kal-El]

I really liked last nights episode. I agree Dexter is making to many mistakes. Next weeks episode looks good.

[shanghei]

my prediction for next week ep is the trinity killer son isnt gonna snitch

[Dark Passenger]

I think you're right. Kyle Butler helped Jonah in a way. We'll see...

[The Godfather]

Anyone else notice that Dexter is touching a-lot of things with bare hands. I am sure it is just a general not quite on his game but things should get interesting. Episode 3 was the first episode this season that I really enjoyed.

[barryo]

anyone getting a weird feeling about that nanny?...............she just seems a bit creepy to me...............:lecture

[shanghei]

yes, that nanny def has sub plot written all over it, i think they gonna point out dexter spends more time researching ppl he going to kill then person who looks after child and it backfire

I think that Nanny Sonya might be related to Lila West somehow. Maybe sisters!?

I'm also getting a weird feeling about that latina cop working with Deb. I think she's involved in those cult murders.

[ChaserFan]

Eh, I don't think so. Lila was English, and Sonya's Irish.

But she does seem a little odd...perhaps she does actually try to steal Harrison at some point? I dunno.

[Kamandi]

I have a feeling the nanny disappears w/ the kid. It get the writers out of a jump the shark problem. Nobody really wants to watch a show about Dex being a dad.

I'd like to see them bring this show to a close in the next season. I feel like they're treading water and re-doing ideas from earlier. Better to go out strong than run out of gas.

A season long chase with the Feds and Miami PD knowing what Dexter has done would be edge of seat stuff.

[shanghei]

Yup, I was thinking "WTF?" when Dex was at Boyd's place. I lost count of how many things he touched bare-handed at Boyd's place.

I was thinking that the Boyd situation got resolved way too fast, and that Boyd's assertion that he was "helping the women" was way too cryptic. But then things look to be a little more complicated with Julia Stiles as a surviving captive who's seen what Dexter has done...

I agree, they need to end the show before we get another season 3

[Devil_666]

Eh, I don't think so. Lila was English, and Sonya's Irish.

Sonya's Irish from Ireland. Lila was from England.. but her ethnicity was never mentioned to my knowledge. There's a lot of Irish people in England and they talk with English accents just like Lila. Just a thought. :lol

[ChaserFan]

[Devil_666]

Lila was a liar though...remember? You cant take anything she says as truth. :monkey1:lol

Uh.. I see what you attempted there but it completely failed since nothing I posted was based on anything Lila ever said. :slap

We know for a fact that she wasn't American. Because Deb verified as much (Lila was in the states with an expired Visa).

ChaserFan is the one who said Lila was English, not me. I simply pointed out if she WAS from England (based on the accent) it wouldn't matter because England has a lot of Irish people living there that speak with an English accent.

So my theory still stands, Sonya and Lila could be sisters/related.

:nana:

[CelticPredator]

You said everything she says was a lie. Everything. Even the facts. :lol

I'm just joking with you...and no they cant because England and Ireland are two different places. And there is a pretty good difference between accents. Some are more subtle, but you can tell.

[Devil_666]

Example where I said that!?

Damn bro, your reading comprehension is shot. :lol:lol:lol

It doesn't matter where Lila was from, we all know she spoke with an English accent. But that doesn't automatically mean that she wasn't Irish. Again.. plenty of Irish people living in England who speak with perfect English accents.

[hairlesswookiee]

Uhh, yeh...maybe :lol

[Dark Passenger]

I want Deb to find out he's a serial killer already!! Either her or Masuka.

[CelticPredator]

Example where I said that!?
.

Sure thing buddy!

Well there's two reasons.

1. Deb did a background check on her and found no mention of her being a suspect in any arson/murder investigation. Just that she was in the states illegally.

2. Lila was a pathological liar. So EVERYTHING she said is unreliable. So it's impossible to believe anything she said in any episode she appeared in.

:monkey1

But seriously...it was a joke. So I dont know why we're having this discussion.

[Devil_666]

For the hell of it!?

And even the quote you posted from me doesn't apply to what you said.

You said everything she says was a lie. Everything. Even the facts.

:lol

[CelticPredator]

But you said exactly what I said....you said everything. Everything.

So where does that draw a line? Maybe she's a sea monster......perhaps 14 years old...ewww..

[Devil_666]

You're still not getting it. :lol

I think that Nanny Sonya might be related to Lila West somehow. Maybe sisters!?
Has nothing to do with anything Lila ever said on the show.

Eh, I don't think so. Lila was English, and Sonya's Irish.

Sonya's Irish from Ireland. Lila was from England.. but her ethnicity was never mentioned to my knowledge. There's a lot of Irish people in England and they talk with English accents just like Lila. Just a thought.
Again, has nothing to do with anything Lila ever said on the show.

Which is why it was odd when you popped up with:
Lila was a liar though...remember? You cant take anything she says as truth. :monkey1:lol
Your statement makes absolutely no sense (even for an attempted joke) because it has no relevance to what I was discussing with ChaserFan.

Understand?

[CelticPredator]

Do you understand that what you said was pretty silly saying everything she said was unreliable? Honestly, you're taking this too far. Obviously she's from london. That's a fact. But i'm razzing you for being obtuse about Lila's statements. :lol Everything she said was not unreliable. Because some of it was a fact. The kill she made, and the fact she's from London. So....there we go.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/CelticPredator/LAZORRR.jpg

[Devil_666]

So a pathological liar can be reliable!? So Lila was just a part-time pathological liar then, right? :lol:lol:lol:rotfl

[CelticPredator]

Exactly! Now we're on the same page! :lol

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/CelticPredator/Catchmeifya.jpg

[Seditionary]

How do you know shes from england really?
Dexter killed her in paris, FRANCE!!

mindblown.

[Devil_666]

I still think it's possible that Sonya and Lila might be related somehow. And I still think that fine latina cop with *** for days might be involved in those cult murders. :lol:lol:lol

[CelticPredator]

I think that about the cop too. But it's too obvious. There has to be more.

[barryo]

wow.................interesting twist...........:panic:

[Devil_666]

I think that about the cop too. But it's too obvious. There has to be more.

Yeah. Maybe she's involved with one of the two suspects!? Maybe to promote herself or to get recognition within the department!? Could be the twist.

[CelticPredator]

Also, she was not there during the raid. And she gave the slit throat kid a weird look....hmm.

I'm also loving the way Stiles' character is turning out. Much better then what I thought.

[shanghei]

I think nanny role is to suspect Dexter of doing stuff, she knows he never came home that one night and knew not to trust him based on that.

[DinoLast]

So it looks to me like Boyd was part of a Serial Killing Cult. I'm guessing the tapes he was listening too have something to do with this. It could be that Peter Weller's Character could be the leader of this cult. Maybe the beheadings are linked too, all wild guess work at the moment

[Devil_666]

Also, she was not there during the raid.

I thought she was there (she had on a tact-vest)!? When Deb said "You weren't there" I thought she was talking about in the room with her and the suspect (to see the kid get his throat slit).

So it looks to me like Boyd was part of a Serial Killing Cult.

Possible. Although I took it more as Boyd was the serial killer, and the "cult" was more of a rape/torture ring. Where girls are kidnapped, held hostage and made into sex slaves that get passed around from guy to guy i.e. even the people in that little set up don't know that Boyd was a killer.

They showed Peter Weller talking to Quinn. I think he is a cop or a detective. They were talking about Dexter.

Yeah I think you are probably right about that.

Maybe he's allying himself with Quinn, because Dexter is taking on the Cult or Sex Slave Ring? It could be Quinn's undoing.
I am normally wrong, but I love the Detective work you have to do during the show and that's one of the reasons I love Dexter

[Morbach]

Great episode last night. Best so far this season imo. I just was gifted a season 5 promo poster. 27x40.

I have been thinking about this a bit more, and there has to be some murdering going on somewhere for Dexter to go after them, that's if he does, which I'm sure he will

My guess as well, especially since Lumen (what a name!) asked Dexter if he was going to "sell her". I immdeiately thought of the sex trafficking trade.

Also, remember what Boyd said the Dexter before Dex killed him/ He said something along the lines of "I'm helping them!". Maybe he rationalized that killing them "freed: them from sexual slavery.

[ShadowX81]

I have a feeling the nanny disappears w/ the kid. It get the writers out of a jump the shark problem. Nobody really wants to watch a show about Dex being a dad.

I do. I think its more interesting to have some challenges in his life that gets in the way of killing from time to time.

And if she runs off with the kid, what is going to happen? Dex is just going to shrug his shoulders and say "eh, prolly for the best" and move on? No, hed spend episodes on end doing nothing at all besides trying to get the kid back. Anything else would look extremly wierd.

[die]

I'm a huge Dexter fan, but i'm really having a hard time getting sold on the idea of the show still having alot of life left in it right now. Seasons 1 and 2 were just as epic as you can get to me, 3 was a bit of a letdown for me, but it had it's moments (I hated the ending). Season 4 was definitely really good and the ending was EPIC, just really floored me.

I think the show has really gotten sidetracked after Seasons 1 & 2. To me, what really helped to push the character of Dexter in Seasons 1 & 2 so well was the inner dialogue and the mood-setting music. The music ALWAYS set the mood (that Blood Theme is EPIC, as is Astor's Birthday) and Dexter's inner dialogue/narraration always helped put the viewer right into the character. Now, it seems that the show has gotten more about one-upping with special guests, putting Dexter in ridiculous situations, who Deb's sleeping with and every episode contains more and more one-liners from Deb and Masuka. To me the show suffers from the change in direction.

But....I can see fans letting these things slide a bit. My real #1 problem with the show now is the unexplained kills where Dexter kills outside of the code. Maybe it's part of the set-up for the series finale where Dexter gets convicted/killed/etc. but it's still a loose end that hurts the show for me. A guy whos such a methodical, "neat" monster with a code goes outside of his modus operandi like it's nothing? If it's a part of a bigger picture here, they really aren't doing a good job of explaining it to me.

I still watching the show every Sunday, but I'm really hoping that it can return to it's glory. I'm starting to think that by giving last Season such an epic ending, it may end up costing them. I think alot of fans forgot how important the Old School Rita was to the show.

[SwedishHeat]

It seems as though we have another Miguel Prado on our hands this season.

We'll have to see how they tweak this formula. I wonder if part of this season will deal with how Dexter learned from what happened with Prado to help him control Lumen. . . besides what the hell kinda hippie name is Lumen??

Ya i don't want another apprentice type scenario like we had with Prado.. if they keep it more about dexter helping her get revenge to ensure she keep's his secret that will be fine, i hope she remains innocent ..and leaves the killing for dexter.

First time posting in this thread and i'm a big dexter fan ..what am i like?:lol:slap

Yeah but I'm not sure they're going to go on a road tour or anything. I think Dexter is going to help her get revenge because he feels sorry for her, then she'll either die in the process or they go their separate ways leaving room for her return in the future. Either as an ally or a target for Dexter because she goes on a vigilante killing rampage.

[Calcifer]

I wonder will dex bring Lumin into his normal life, introduce her to the other characters to further show that he is a good guy, show her that he has a child ,a sister and friends ..if they do this it could be interesting to to see the other characters reactions to dexter getting involved with another woman so soon after Rita's death ..Quinn would find it very suspicious.

[CelticPredator]

Something tells me Dexter will end up on the table. But at the last second get saved. Perhaps by Deb?

[Dark Passenger]

Something tells me Dexter will end up on the table. But at the last second get saved. Perhaps by Deb?

I think the thing left to really send the show to the next level is to have someone close to him find out about his Dark Passenger (see what I did there?). Only one left is Deb.

I also think that by the end of the season either Quinn or Lumen will die. Dexter Law of Physics show that anyone who comes too close or knows of Dexter's secret dies.

The only problem is, Quinn is actually a good guy. He suspects Dexter of being involved with a serial killer on a 30 year reign. Nothing wrong with Quinn in my book. I think Dexter would agree as he even told Doakes "I never held it against you."

I don't necessarily think he's a dirty cop. He just took some money, cops do that all the time.
He is actually the good guy, but I agree. F him!!


On a side note, I also think Lumen is very unstable and crazy. I think she is going to be a bigger problem than she is worth.

[Calcifer]

How will the quinn storyline unfold without it being too much like doakes storyline in season 2 i wonder?

Maybe dex will save quinns life somehow ..but in doing so revealing his true self, would that be enough for quinn to keep his mouth shut ..i don't think so ..but its an idea.

[CelticPredator]

I like Quinn. I dont want him to die. He may be trying to figure out Dexter, but he isnt as bad as Doakes...and he actually is a pretty decent fellow.

[El Skutto]

F Quinn!!!! He's a douche and a dirty cop. Hopefully he bites the dust this season.

So a cop who steals money from crooks is more deplorable than a serial killer? :cuckoo:

[DinoLast]

How will the quinn storyline unfold without it being too much like doakes storyline in season 2 i wonder?

I think Quinn will end up like Doakes did in the books

[Dark Passenger]

You're talking about beheaded, like the gangs MO? Dr. Danco was much worse! LOL.
That would be pretty cool. I would just like to see a character who gets too close to at least live through the season for once.

Where did I ever suggest that?? Re-reading my post I never said that a dirty cop is worse than a serial killer.

Well, you did indicate that he should die for one of two reasons: 1) he's a douche, and 2) he's a dirty cop. If either of those reasons is justification for the character's death, I think we, as a society, have our priorities out of whack. I mean, shouldn't we be hoping the cop (albeit dirty) catches the serial killer in the end?

We're currently going through a real nasty murder trial up here, with a very respected Army Colonel being formally charged and found guilty of multiple rapes, murders and break-ins. To make matters worse, he videotaped and photographed everything in minute detail, and the family members of those two murdered women have to sit in court and watch and/or listen to those acts while all the evidence is played out.

When I read the details of his crimes in the paper, I can't for the life of me imagine any kind of police corruption that would warrant a more severe penalty than what the Colonel deserves. And as much as I love Dexter (the show), let's not forget that he has already murdered two innocent people.

[fawk3s]

One of those murders was truly a misunderstanding, which he really regretted. The second was totally self defence.

[Devil_666]

The second was totally self defence.

The guy he killed (randomly) in that bathroom was self-defense!? :lol:lol:lol

I don't see what this has to do with me, or my opinion of a fictional tv character. I don't like the character, and given this show's track record of d-bags that get too nosy with Dexter's business I absolutely hope Dexter makes him disappear.

[CelticPredator]

The guy he killed (randomly) in that bathroom was self-defense!? :lol:lol:lol

He obviously ment Miguel Prado's brother.

[Devil_666]

He obviously ment Miguel Prado's brother.

What does that have to do with my question!? The guy Dexter killed in the bathroom this season was an innocent. My question remains.

[CelticPredator]

Oops....Fawk3s made a booboo...:lol

The Prado brother was the only person he killed in self defense. The bathroom guy was straight up murder.

[Devil_666]

The bathroom guy was straight up murder.

:lecture:lecture:lecture

:lol:lol:lol

[fawk3s]

Oopz, I didnt count the bathroom guy. I counted Prado's brother and the photograph douche bag, whatever his name was. Totally forgot about that.
The bathroom guy was a straight up murder indeed, but he was an a-hole anyways :lol

[Devil_666]

Yeah he looked scumy.. so screw 'em. :lol:lol:lol

[Seditionary]

It could go either way. You don't know what that dude's deal was. If Dexter researched it and it turned out he was a murderer then everyone would complain of its convenience. It doesn't really matter. The code has become less important over time. He's been moving away from it ever since his relationship with Rita and (other humans) got more and more serious.

As for hoping Quinn should die vs Dexter. The show drags you in to have an appreciation and connection with dexter...thats why when you take a step back and think about him and the way he is and things he does it's effectively creepy at times.

[2ndname]

This season is starting to annoy me for some reason. Yes, it's a change of pace but him messing up over and over is starting to get to me for some reason. I liked it more when it was more about the hunt for the killer. Gives you that sense of justice but with a rated R ending, haha.

[ShadowX81]

I just hate seasons where there a bunch of nonrelated storylines going on. Season 3 had this with the tree-trimming killer and no one ended up caring about it. The seasons are always best when Dexter and the Police Department storylines are the same.

[SwedishHeat]

I'm not married and I don't know police protocol, but it seems extremely contrived that LaGuerta wouldn't tell Batista that she was part of a sting operation.

That's the thing I don't like about these storylines, is when they write characters as behaving illogically to push a storyline in a certain direction.

[ShadowX81]

Whatever; its a stupid storyline anyway that doesn't connect to the main plot at all. The show is called "Dexter", not "Miami Homicide Police and Thier Love Life"

[CelticPredator]

The show is about ALL the characters, and how Dexter interacts with them. It's been like this since Season 1. So I dont understand the problem. If you dont like these characters, then fast forward through them. :rolleyes:

[ShadowX81]

No, the show is not about all the characters. It is about Dexter, and how he interacts with the other ones. And it has not been this way since the first season. Whenever the writers deviated from the main plotline they quickly course corrected.

Laguerta and Angel's trust issues have nothing at all to do with Dexter.

[CelticPredator]

Ah. I see. So...why are they even in the show if it's only about Dexter?

[ShadowX81]

At this point your guess is as good as mine.

Obviously Dexter needs people to talk to, but they shouldnt have a storyline taking up a signifgant amount of screentime that is completely disconnected from him that drags on for years.

[CelticPredator]

Eh. I guess I just happen to like the characters. It really doesnt bug me. Plus, it's a nice break from the intenseness of Dexter's story. :o

[ChaserFan]

This last page is just full of fail. The show has never been just about Dexter; there's always been separate storylines for the other characters. And if all you want to see is Dex hunting and killing over and over again, with no other storylines to break up that monotony, then you've obviously been missing the point of the show since the beginning.

[CelticPredator]

^ Thank you.

[fawk3s]

I lol'd when we saw Masuka's underwear while he was showing he's tattoo.

[ShadowX81]

This last page is just full of fail. The show has never been just about Dexter; there's always been separate storylines for the other characters.
No there haven't. In season 1 Laguerta was all about the ice truck killer. The only seperate storyline was Doakes with those cops, but that was ended after 3 episodes, not 2 seasons. In season 2 the only seperate storylines concerned the character recovering after the main events of season 1.
It was really only in the third season that we started to get these completely disconnected storylines, and we all know the crapfest that season turned out to be.

And if all you want to see is Dex hunting and killing over and over again, with no other storylines to break up that monotony, then you've obviously been missing the point of the show since the beginning.

The point is to show the other characters and storylines that have zero to do with the main character? Funny how the show is called "Dexter" then.

[ChaserFan]

You know, just because a show is named after the main character, doesn't mean all the storylines have to be about that character.

[ShadowX81]

Definatly wasnt the position that the writers took up early in the series.

[DinoLast]

First off I will say that I am really enjoying this season, but for me it's turning out to be the weakest of the 5 seasons. Season 3 was mostly a disappointment because of the final episode, but Jimmy Smits Miguel Prado was a great character and it was a pretty exciting story. Season one was all about getting to know Dexter, and The Ice Truck Killer story was amazing. Season 2 had The Bay Harbour Butcher story and had Dokes, Lila, and Lundy as adversaries (all great characters) And of course Season 4 had John Lithgow as Trinity which made it the best season of the lot for me.

Season 5 is lacking when it comes to Storyline compared to all the other seasons and also a great adversary for Dexter, Quinn just does not cut it for me. Maybe Peter Weller's bent copper character might change things, but he only has 7 episodes to make an impact.

[ChaserFan]

Definatly wasnt the position that the writers took up early in the series.

I don't agree with that. But if the show is as different as you think it is, it's because it needs to be in order to stay fresh. If the writers had stuck with the same format from seasons one and two, I doubt that Dexter would still be on television right now. TV shows have to adapt to survive.

You also have to remember that now Dexter has Harrison, it's alot harder to show him going out, running around killing people. The nanny excuse can only go so far, as we saw in episode four.

[ShadowX81]

So a good way to stay fresh is to transform the show from a character study about a serial killer into a soap opera about cops and thier love lives, making it like about 1000 other shows on tv?

Change is only good if its for the better. Otherwise it is fixing what isnt broken.

Well I don't believe it's changed, so that's your problem if you see that way :lol

[Dark Passenger]

I am liking the progression of this season. I think Deb and Quinn are going to have a falling out after Deb finally learns Quinn's true intentions with her brother.

Lumen is proving to be unstable and more trouble than she's worth (for Dexter). I think Dex should listen to his Harry voice. Harry has been right time and time again.

I honestly thought Laguerta was blowing the dude. Remember in season 2 when she slept with the woman's husband to get her job back? Her character is unstoppable at advancing herself but I guess she had nothing to gain from it.

Peter Weller's character is finally revealed! This is going to get more and more interesting.

[Mr. EcKo]

did u guys see Peter Weller aka Robocop aka Murphy ... i was like wtf is that robocop ?, i waited til the credits to confirm , so get used to seeing him in a few episodes ( the cop that got busted in the hotel room by Laguerta) now he's helping Quinn ,,, i think the season just got waaaaay better :clap next episode looks awesome DEXTER FTW

[Mr. EcKo]

Peter Weller's character is finally revealed! This is going to get more and more interesting.

sorry Tom , i didn't see that

[2ndname]

I def. enjoy Robocop appearing in the last episode.

[die]

Alex Murphy looks more like Clarence Boddicker these days :lol

I think the last episode showed a little more promise, I guess we'll see. They definitely used the inner dialogue and music better with this episode. I'm still not getting that "I can't wait until the next episode" feeling like I used to get from the show.

Last Season's final episode is just such a tough act to follow, it was more like a series finale.

[Devil_666]

Alex Murphy looks more like Clarence Boddicker these days :lol

:lol:lol:lol:rotfl

I honestly didn't recognize him at first.

[hairlesswookiee]

:lol:lol:lol:rotfl

I honestly didn't recognize him at first.

I did, but only because I've watched his narrated movie that he did for the God of War games. It was released this March so it couldn't have been too long ago when they were filming his old arse. He still has a commanding voice though.

[Dark Passenger]

Did anyone else call Dexter an idiot out loud for telling Lumen his real name? Whats gotten into him this season? Way too reckless.

[DinoLast]

:lol:lol:lol:rotfl

I honestly didn't recognize him at first.

He was in an episode of Fringe so I recognised him, but he's definitely looking old. I guess he should be commended for not having anything done, like a face-lift or a weave. It certainly gives him character

[die]

I think it would be cool if they do some nod to Robocop somehow within his story. :panic:

[The Godfather]

Looks like Dexter's luck is about to run out. He is making way to many mistakes we all know he can't do it forever. Quinn is annoying me for a few reasons. I do not buy him as any threat to Dexter. Also has anyone noticed the big difference in how he looks this season compared to last. I don't know if it's his hair or if he has lost weight but something is different and that bugs me. Especially since this isn't months down the road it is days.

[SwedishHeat]

I'm assuming you're referring to Dexter's appearance and not Quinn. Michael C Hall went through chemo over the break. He had cancer. So yeah, if he looks skinnier, then that's why.

Exactly. Plus he is wearing a wig this season; I don't think he looks that much different, so I reckon they've done a good job to make him look the same.

Quinns look is a huge distraction for me this season... He seems like maybe he is battling a disease or a drug addiction. He looks like Matthew Perry from the 3rd season of Friends.

No actually I was referring to Quinn. Nothing looks vastly different to me about Hall but Quinn is a different story.

Really? Maybe Harrington has lost a little bit of weight, but I think it's mostly his hair. It might be a little longer and more 'parted' than last season. But still, I don't find his appearance this season distracting or anything.

[Dark Passenger]

"Die, Die." hahahah. I'm loving the angle they're going with Harrison and Dexter worrying about him. It's very entertaining.

Lumen's character is becoming more likable for me. I am not liking the Miguel Prado direction this is going now though.

[The ill Jedi]

"Auto Erotic Mummification". *Fapping motion* :lol

Masuka is one funny bastard.

[die]

Masuka's part was funny last night!

Things definitely picked up last night. I find myself getting more interested in the story now. Deb and Quinn are going to get closer and looks like Lumen and Dexter are too. Looks like things might get hectic soon.

[DinoLast]

Close one there Dexter.
Masuka had me laughing my *** off
By far the best episode of Season 5 so far.

[shanghei]

yeah quinn does look different

[Kal-El]

Masuka had me on the floor laughing.
