The funniest exchange for me was: Quinn: I'm going to tail Zach Hamilton until I can bust him. Dexter: Mind if I come along? Things are kind of slow here I'm going a little stir crazy. Stir crazy?! Dexter you're a lab geek who's never at work more than 10 minutes at a time! User-Friendly posted:Speaking of this, has Quinn even solved a case in the past five years he's been on the show? Why would he get a promotion? And why would Batista be the person to give that knucklehead a promotion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j498TYnTmqk

the only thing I can take away from this season of Dexter is if they ever make a Zybourne Clock movie, they can use the kid who plays Zach as Johnny.

Regy Rusty posted:What keeps astounding me is that all this tepid bullshit is what the writers decided should fill the FINAL SEASON of their precious show. They're bringing everyone together for the big dance number at the end, only instead of all your favourite old characters it's all the dullest B-plots. Zack in particular is Trinity's kid, Lumen, that photographer, the dumb creep intern from last year (with the weird apartment and everything), etc. all wrapped into one.

User-Friendly posted:Speaking of this, has Quinn even solved a case in the past five years he's been on the show? Why would he get a promotion? Well, I figure that since they all know about Dexter now that Laguench is dead, Miami Metro has started up a golf-like point system. The person who solves the least amount of crimes per cycle, thus keeping the murderous elephant in the room happy, is the person most eligible for promotion. Thus Batista arrives at his two choices: Quinn, notorious department fuckup, and this random lady that apparently wandered into Miami Metro sometime last season and immediately established rapport with everyone else. Since I'm sure Quinn has done at least one productive thing in the past six years, although I can't imagine what that might possibly be at the moment (maybe that meeting he didn't gently caress up?), Carla Doody, Black Cop was the natural choice. Note: Quinn has been in 3x as many seasons as Doakes. hallebarrysoetoro posted:the only thing I can take away from this season of Dexter is if they ever make a Zybourne Clock movie, they can use the kid who plays Zach as Johnny. Holy poo poo, no way. That's what has been bothering me about that kid.

For the first time in 8 seasons, Dexter pronounces 'Harry' as 'hairy,' so when he says "You didn't have a hairy..." Zach and I simultaneously say "WAT?" I figure nothing can top that, but... And then this thread with the assist... hallebarrysoetoro posted:the only thing I can take away from this season of Dexter is if they ever make a Zybourne Clock movie, they can use the kid who plays Zach as Johnny.

There are already talks about setting up a Dexter spinoff so writers can butcher another great idea and drown it's remains in year old chlichees. They set up a nice idea for this season and killed it over and over again and that's even before the worst thing of the last season(s) comes get another easy paycheck. Good thing Breaking Bad comes back so I can perhaps rewatch the rest of this season at a later point when it isn't making go bonkers because I spent so many hours looking forward to an exciting conclusion - and getting this.

I cannot believe there are writers out there being paid to come up with that inane Masuka daughter plot that goes nowhere.

He suspects Dexter but then not really, and he bangs more chicks than anybody else for some reason (is he a co-producer of the show or something?). And that's all. There's nothing else I can tell about him after more than 5 seasons

Gotta have something to do for Masuka, it's not like his storylines went anywhere ever. He's like the black woman who got a bigger role this year because some lines usually uttered by LaGuerta had to be used by someone, both of them are just there for the sake of being some kind of requisite.

I don't understand how in a show in which the main character is a serial killer who works with the police you get to your final season and think "You know what'll really leave a big impact on the viewers? The police continue to be completely clueless about Dexter and all the characters we've written on the side will do nothing of significance." Now, I don't know how the show will end, we're only halfway through the season, but I don't have high hopes. It doesn't seem like they're building up towards anything interesting at all. Dexter potentially taking Zach on and teaching him the code does not sound interesting either. It's like they were thinking "hey, what if Dexter had to teach Harrison the code?" "Yeah, but Harrison's his son, that might create conflict and be interesting! Could we just have it be some random guy instead?" "Oh, I like the way you think!" Maybe it's harsh of me to judge this so hard halfway through, but that Quinn scene left a bad taste in my mouth in particular and I just feel like any of posting in this thread could get drunk and take turns writing fragments of sentences and produce a more compelling final season than this garbage. edit: I want the whole season at this point to be irrelevant and for Dexter to ultimately go down when letting Harrison keep the toy dog comes back to bite him in the rear end.

I'm in the middle of this here Michael C. Hall episode of The Nerdist Podcast. Not a bad episode so far. That show tends to be pretty hit or miss. I laughed when they started asking about what he does for fun and his answer pretty much mirrored Dexter's answer from the last episode.

Man, people who I otherwise assume are intelligent human beings are still so excited about Dexter and think the Hannah surprise was totally awesome.  Am I just jaded from the Dexter threads? Have I become poisoned against a show I might otherwise enjoy? No, we're right, it's actually terrible.

I think this show might finally be back to "so bad it's funny" rather than "so bad its boring" like it has been the past couple episodes. That ending was so, so dumb.

So Zach kills his dad's mistress, daddy moves on to another woman and Zach decides to kill dad next because his womanizing will never stop. So why was he casing daddy's new mistress at her yoga-in-the-park class? He knew who she was and where she worked, and he could just as easily trailed his father's movement. Its not like he was trying to catch her and daddy in the park together for solid proof. So serial killer AND creeper/perv?

I think my main problem with this show is its Goosebumps approach to creating tension. Everything is resolved one line later. "Laguerta's warrants that she was investigating when she died! The driving plotline of last season and something of a cliffhanger!" *tears them to pieces* "Dexter, I know what you're doing." "You're tailing this guy for me while I go get some! Thanks, buddy!" "This bear has proof I'm a murderer… it could ruin me." "How about he now lives under your bed, Harrison?" All these things that COULD be compelling, and they're unceremoniously dropped immediately in favor of Quinn trying to become sargeant and Dexter training some nobody?

Or how about the scene where he's sneaking around the suspect's house and the police show up? Oh boy! Time for the sort of tense scene the earlier seasons thrived on! *Fades to black, just assume Dexter got away or whatever*

I want Dexter to become like an eccentric Kung-Fu master and give Zach increasingly insane tasks as part of his training. "Zach, I want you to vet, stalk, table, kill, and dispose of this bear." *plays footage* "You must also do it while smelling of honey."

Seasons 5,6,and 7 were all terrible for their own reasons. This season is just so tremendously boring, with nothing specifically bad about it, until the end of the last episode. When Hannah walked around the corner, I let out the biggest guttural groan of pure disappointment in recent memory. They timed it perfectly; I had just about completely forgotten about her. The only other times I've done a last season bale-out on shows I'd watched since the beginning was Lost and Heroes, and I'm strongly considering doing the same with Dexter. It just feels like every single thing happening this season is completely arbitrary and random.

He's smarter than the average bear. Junkfist posted:I want Dexter to become like an eccentric Kung-Fu master and give Zach increasingly insane tasks as part of his training. Speaking of Kung Fu, why has Dexter been seemingly getting his rear end kicked in hand to hand combat these past couple of seasons? Didn't he used to be take some sort of martial art? Is it just one of his hobbies that have fallen to the wayside?

His plot armour is probably too heavy for him to be effective at it these days, though.
