It was really good! Loved Dexter getting that blow job. Made him seem more real!
Don’t like how they don’t say why LaGuarda and Batista got divorced! Or now Batista’s sister is Dexters new nanny…

No shit! They certainly didn’t transition the full story well. I thought maybe I was confused about the premiere.
Fortunately it’s a series you can just jump in to and and get involved. In another episode it will just be an understood aspect of the story line I bet.[/quote]
I think they fast forward everything to a year’s past so that they can have a fresh story to start with.
I didn’t mind it, I really don’t or ever care much about LaGuarda and Batista relationship. I am sort of glad we didn’t have to go thru that drama.
I think Quinn will get killed off this season, anytime Deb gets close or engaged to anyone, they are killed.
‘Meh’ season gets a solid boost from surprise twist(s). The preachy Brother Sam aspect was annoying so I’m glad things are getting back on track for the last couple episodes… I was actually starting to think the series was cashed.
Which is good, because I don’t give a shit about Deb’s emotional woes… though I DID have her dead to rights for banging the new black detective at some point, so I guess she is full of surprises.
Quinn has also grown on me this season. I was kinda on the fence with him but he seems like a chill guy when he’s not whiney and depressed.
I saw the “big twist” coming from the very first time those two were on screen together and over time it just made more and more sense. The majority of people I’ve talked to felt the same way as well, a good plot but horrible, horrible writing this year.
I do think they have more in store for us this season though in terms of setting up for next season and what not. I’ve enjoyed this season, but far too predictable.
I think the episode with Brian, Trinity’s son, Brother Sam’s death and Dexter going wild had so much potential by the trailer but the writers just decided to get everything back to normal: MEH!
I was expecting Gellar to be Tyler Durden since the scene on the coffee shop and it made the season better, if it wasn’t to be like this i would be seriously disappointed.
Now y’all got me wondering how obvious the main twist really was… I’ve been watching the show while browsing the Internet so I must’ve missed a lot of the clues. I might have to go back and see what you guys are talking about since I don’t remember the references.
I mean, at the end of the day we know how it’s going to end up, so what I’m more curious about is where the story is going to go with the computer geek.

Yeah I didn’t catch it either, and I’m usually pretty good at spotting stuff like that. I bet if I go back and watch it again it’ll be pretty obvious. One scene that comes to mind is the first time Dexter goes to the church. Gellar is up on the balcony, Dexter doesn’t see him and goes to check it out and he’s gone. The camera pans to a tiny ass window with like a 15 foot drop to the road below. Probably should have wondered how a 60+ year old fat dude managed to get away there.

I did wonder but chalked it off as bad writing like most of the season to this point. Really hope the rebound sticks.
The first clue that tipped me off to Gellar being imaginary was when he and Travis were in the restaurant together. The waitress speaks to Travis, and doesn’t even acknowledge the existence of Gellar, despite interrupting their conversation. After that, I just sort of kept it in the back of my mind that this would be the likely direction they’d take the character.
And yes, the only people that knew on set were Michael C. Hall and the writers. Edward James Olmos didn’t even know about his characters true story until the filming of that episode.
As far as Louis the lab geek, they have a few options they can go with them. I fully expect his “video game” to be about a serial killer who works within the police department, revealing that he’s discovered Dexter’s secret and setting up the plot for the next season. I’ve heard the writers are attempting to put together a 3 season arc to close the series, and this may be it.
So they can either get extremely creative and tie everything together (some are speculating that he is the son of Brian Moser aka The Ice Truck Killer). MAsuka’s original intern (the hot blonde) is also listed on the cast for the remaining episodes this season, so perhaps those two will be in cahoots.
My big theory for the remaining seasons of Dexter…Matthews has known about Dexter all along as Harry let him know a long time ago what he was doing with Dexter.
Did you see the hand in the Geeks house? the one that hte last lab partner put on ebay remember? Mesuka tried to buy it back but it was too late??? The Geek has it under his coffee table!!!
Assuming you’re speaking to me Simp, yes I did. I’m glad they did that, it was pretty obvious something was up with this guy. I hope they don’t write it off as “Oh, I bought the hand to save Masuka” and actually go somewhere with this next season.

Now THAT would be a lame way to end a interesting plot they could develop.
