Regy Rusty posted:The only important things that happened were Vogel got killed by Saxon, and then Dexter and Deb caught Saxon but Dexter didn't kill him. Instead he chose to let Deb arrest him, which led to the Marshall who was chasing Hannah letting Saxon go, getting himself killed. Saxon then shoots Deb and escape. The sad thing is all these scenes are like 3 mins in 2hours of filler.

That's because her position of "is wanted by a Marshal and private eye who suspect she's involved with the Morgans" hasn't changed significantly for at least 3 episodes! Sure things happened with her like the Harrison hospital visit but it didn't significantly change her behavior or role in the story.

Hannah's one character trait is that she just randomly poisons people. It's how she expresses herself. Remember that she poisoned Dexter just to say hello this season. She probably poisoned Deb's bottle as a way of saying 'Have a good trip, drive safe!' Either that or she drinks poison and just left the bottle in the car by accident When she was trying to poison the steering wheel.

Actually, they showed some cut scenes where Hannah explains to Dexter how she has sensitive skin and gets really bad contact dermatitis so she can never use harsh chemical hair dyes or scratchy artificial wigs. She is too poor to get the most expensive real wigs except she isn't anymore but wig shopping is hard. She then tells Dexter about her rare form of incurable claustrophobia that compels her to linger around windows whenever she is inside. Oh wait, that didn't happen. I've started watching Dexter the way you listen to jazz. It's really about the scenes they don't show you.

I love that the US Marshall got killed off and nothing significant has changed about the Dexter and Hannah plot besides the fact that one more item has been checked off the list of "dumb poo poo getting in the way of Dexter and Hannah leaving and the show ending". In better shows, something like that would have repercussions. Here, it doesn't really affect anything apart from there being one less non-character failing to capture Dexter or Hannah.

Like, the US Marshall recently had Deb's house tossed because he suspected she was harbouring a serial killer and he had just been murdered and Deb was found shot - WTIH HIS GUN! - next to his corpse. Those kind of consequences, maybe? No, I'm sure Dexter's fine to leave the country now. It won't look weird at all. "Well, sure I'd love to stay here with my mortally wounded sister as suspicion that she just stabbed a US Marshall to death hovers over her, but these airline tickets are nonrefundable, you know. So gotta go. If Deb wakes up, tell her I wish her all the best at her trial and looking for a new job."

Just look... look at the show you're watching now, and tell me that something realistic or well written is going to happen and there are going to be actual repercussions for the Marshall's death, and that there isn't going to be some magic bullet or plot hole that's just going to resolve that thread immediately in the next episode. Can you really tell me that, at this point in the show, and mean it?

A friend of mine wrote this.... Deb V.O.: "I've been shot, I'm bleeding ... it's blood, I'd better call for back up." Ghost Harry: "Deb, look! There's blood coming out of your body...you're bleeding! The body needs a certain amount of blood to survive. You'd better call 911 immediately after you finish this conversation with your dead father." Deb V.O.: "Okay, I'm going to take out my phone and dial the number for..." Ghost Harry: "Deb? You okay? Deb? Deb?" They should have a Dexter themed restaurant in Miami called Papa's. When you enter they give you a headset - like in a museum - that narrates every step of your meal ("Here comes my plate. It has food on it." "Noodles. As tangled as my complicated life.") and a hologram Ghost Harry can sit next to you ("Dex, be careful. That plate might be hot!"). Oh, and naturally there's a breakfast special called "Voice Over My Hammy." Also, this video has some interesting ideas. They actually give all the characters something interesting to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl407-PZa3k

At the end, I hope as Harry is explaining what just happened to Dexter in the most expositional way possible, they hear a distinct siren, and out of nowhere, the Ecto 1 stops in front of them. Winston Zeddmore steps out, and wordlessly puts on his proton pack. Harry is quickly captured and incarcerated in a trap. Winston walks over to Dexter. "Looks like you had class 4 full roaming expositional poltergeist, we're running a special this week.."

I've never seen a single episode of Dexter, but I was vaguely aware of the premise and knew it was on its final season. I figured I would read the thread and see if it was going to end well. I'm definitely not going to bother wasting any time watching this show, but reading the thread has been a treat. Especially the putting beards on kids and killer treadmills. I wish Scott Buck was here to read this.

President Kucinich posted:I've never seen a single episode of Dexter... Fair enough! President Kucinich posted:I'm definitely not going to bother wasting any time watching this show... Probably a sound plan! I think at this point long-time "fans" of the show shouldn't even encourage people to start watching. I liked Dexter for what it was for the first 4-ish seasons, barring most of 3, but looking back I don't know that it was worth it. It turned into a huge pile of poo poo, yeah, but from what? A generally-entertaining show that was good but not great, where the main draw was the premise and Michael C. Hall. You can definitely live without watching a single episode of Dexter, it wasn't that good even when it was good.

It is devastating to know that Dexter is the longest running hour-long cable drama. This show deserves absolutely zero records, and I look forward to the day that record is beaten.

If you want to watch a good show with Michael C. Hall just watch 6 Feet Under. After that finishes and you want to watch another show with him, just watch it again.

zylche posted:At the very least watch the first two seasons, if you enjoyed it stick around to the end of the fourth season and act like it finished there. I know I'vesaid it before, but they really should have ended the series at the conclusion of season 4. It would make so much more sense than this crap they are leaving us with the past couple seasons. You get the nice symmetry of born in blood, you get Dexter learning a really important lesson that his actions can directly affect the people closest to him, and you leave the viewers with a nice nurture/nature debate.

In hindsight, yeah. But I would have been terribly disappointed if the last episode of that season had been the series finale. After Season 4 justified my admiration for what Dexter could be, I expected it to keep getting better. We had no way of knowing that was the beginning of an awful downward spiral, and just how deep into absurdity it would go.

Did Dexter ever sell his boat or did he give up because one dude didn't like the beer cooler and leave it there to rot or something? This is literally a plot point I'd like to have clarified before the series finale of the serial killer tv drama "Dexter"

I think what that's all about is, they need the boat for the climax but if he didn't at least make a token effort to sell it people would think it didn't make sense that he didn't sell it.

So since I assume most of us won't be watching it live, but should we feel relieved when we ourselves, watch it conclude or should feel like we have paid our penance as soon as the clock rolls over (and most of us probably finish next week's episode of Breaking Bad)?
