For some reason I sense that (not a spoiler just commenting to the previous spoiler) that's how the ending will be set up. As a spinoff for Deb with her killing Dexter. The final scene will be Deb's voiceover
This is the only possible way the show could redeem itself. And then she shows up in Hannibal season 2.

It's going to turn out that Matthews has known about Dexter all along. He, Rampling, and Harry devised the code together or some such poo poo.

And I don't know if it's been said, but James Remar's acting is loving terrible and it has been for at least six seasons.

How many times is Dr. Brainlady going to say "you're not behaving like a psychopath" before it dawns on her that he may not be a psychopath. The final twist is going to be that she had the wrong person all along.

The rest of the season could be nothing but Deb trying to confess to killing LaGuerta and Dexter and Brainlady foiling her at the last minute and I'd be thrilled.
Only if it involves Quinn's continued insistence on misunderstanding her.

I think season six was hands-down the worst season, but this one may be the most boring. Like...weirdly boring. Everyone's phoning it in and it has a community theatre feel to it.

The PA with the script in the background is great, the shrug at the end is even better, but I really love cutting motion she uses with the fork. This is straight-up gag reel material and it made final cut.

Oh, sexy reporter lady. HER I remember. I thought Slamhound meant Trinity's other daughter, the one who lived with him.

On the one hand you're relieved that you remembered Sexy Reporter Lady Plot Point; on the other hand you totally forgot about the Secret Daughter Plot Point.

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...

It's like when Dexter was at the brain surgeon's and Quinn and Angel show up. "How's he going to get away?!" Cut to the next scene where he's already gotten away.


Everything that would produce tension happens off-screen. This season has the feel of a bored table read.

Y'know, the LaGuerta Bench may be the pinnacle of the season, the one moment of self-awareness. At least the perfect metaphor. It's a loving bench. It's cold and you park your butt there.

This actually would make a nice ending for the series. Dexter looks around at the various people on the streets and suddenly realizes he's surrounded by serial killers. He rushes home and uses Netwrangler to search for serial killer message boards. He sees that they are all advising each other to move to Miami because the police department there hasn't apprehended a single serial killer in eight years. Then.. I don't know what happens next. I'm not a writer, dammit.
Then they elect Chicky Hines mayor.

Seeing all the new posts, I assumed this episode would be even more groan-worthily disappointing than usual.

Honestly, imagining potential crossovers is the only way to enjoy this anymore. Deb becoming an understudy of Gene Parmesan, doing work for Barry Zuckercorn and/or Bob Loblaw and joining up with Saul Goodman's A-Team and just being constantly exasperated...

I just caught up, and I am truly marveling at how awful this show is now. I couldn't come up with this poo poo if I was trying to make it as terrible as possible. I'm not going to read the spoiler thread, because I want to be shocked at how awful this show's ending is going to be. There is no hope for redemption now. None.
For what it's worth, the spoilers are so goddamned stupid that they're indistinguishable from the wise-rear end hateposting. It has the rather interesting effect of neutering their spoiler effect; you forget if the dumbfuck plotpoint careening towards you is a real or not.

vvv Case in point: I haven't had a chance to watch the episode yet and I honestly can't tell if that's something that happened or if it's a joke.
