So, uh... didn't Batista retire last season to become a professional restaurateur? Why is he suddenly a cop again? Didn't Cpt. Matthews ALSO retire? It was even a plot point last season that, after a lifetime on the force, he is determined to die of liver failure on his own slice of the Miami dream.

The preview at the end showed what seems like a lot more than just the next episode - is that typical for season premieres?

Showtime does it all the time with The Borgias. They're just trying to make the preview EXCITING!!! (no matter how boring the next episode is) without spoiling anything.

The "Dr. Brainlady is secretly a coldblooded psychopath just like Dexter!!!" plotline is so dumb and obvious, even for Dexter, a series whose bread and butter is being dumb and obvious. It almost makes me feel like they're setting the audience up to be as skeptical of her as Dexter is only to have the Real Villain turn out to be someone completely different and Much Eviler than Dr. "Unorthodox Experiments" Brainlady.

But that's way too smart for this dumb show. :suicide:

Did anyone else notice, in the nursing home scene, how Dexter just kinda... stood there with the M99 syringe? Surprise, waiting for him to get a dramatic line in before you drug him for cool points is a terrible idea.

Dexter writer #1: "How do we show that Yates is a ~true psychopath~ before Dexter kills him?"
Dexter writer #2: "Dunno. Just do some stuff."

It's been 5 days since and "He's a bundler." keeps popping up in my head for some reason as a pretty funny line.

I'm confused as to how this line ended up in the script without Showtime having a sizable product placement deal with Comcast.

One thing that's irking me a lot is Deb. She's always been, to me, a terrible character even from season 1, but the writers have really screwed her over. Treating her like she's just a huge bitch because she doesn't understand how groovy cool Dexter is.

Not to mention, how she's just frigid and mean because she doesn't see how much of a nice guy her boss is. I'm actually grateful the writers forgot that particular plotline (among others so far), it was just the creepiest. Plus I don't think there's enough time in the season to show Boss What's-his-name donning the proverbial fedora, anyway. :v:

The most confusing thing about this episode is that I vividly remember taking a treadmill spill as a young twerp just like Harrison did and got no damage at all out of it. :confused:

I just realized Vogel really should have been a straight antagonist. i mean she knows Dexter intimately, and knows that he's not supposed to kill innocents, theres potential there for a villain who knows how to manipulate him. Instead she "manipulates" him by just being a bit daffy and not mentioning things she really ought to know until its plot convenient. "I dont have a son...oh wait yes I do" "Does Make Your Own Kind of Music mean anything to me? No...except for the fact that it was my psychopath sons favorite song."

In hindsight it almost makes me wonder if Scott Buck et al just wrote the entire season episode by episode. There's absolutely no logical reason for the killer to just pop up out of nowhere 4 episodes from the finale, especially if he's directly related to one of the prominent characters this season. Even excluding that, they could have just had him be vaguely menacing for no particular reason just to add an element of suspicion around him.


It's like if Scott Buck got all the writers together and said,

:q: - "Okay, it's crunch time. We gotta decide who the Brain Surgeon is gonna be."

:v: - "Well, what about Dollar Store Ryan Gosling? He hasn't done anything yet."

:q: - "PERFECT! The viewers will never see THAT coming!"


I'm wondering if the big surprise after the finale is seeing Veena Sud's name on the credits, because it feels so much like The Killing season 1.

So I don't know about the rest of you but the guy in the background wildly gesticulating while Dex was talking with Quinn at Batista Bar was unironically the best part of the episode (beating even Saxon's gas-pump look-lean) and I would offer my firstborn if someone would make a gif of that.

Pretty much this is the most giffable episode of Dexter episode, which is the only praise you can give it.

Did they ever clear up what the hell happened with Deb's poisoning last season? Her water bottle was poisoned with something that apparently wouldn't kill Deb on its own, but made her pass out in traffic. I thought there was even a scene where Hannah was like "She'd be dead if it was me," because the whole scheme was so half-assed -- how the gently caress would the poisoner know she'd drink the water while driving, or that the crash would be fatal (it wasn't.)?

It wasn't even elaborated much on last season, either. Deb passes out at the wheel, Dexter finds some water bottle with :siren: weird powder :siren: in it, what could it be??? Dexter tested it but I guess the results got lost in the mail. Or his magical results-machine broke.

It's pretty obvious that the writers forgot ever single thing that happened to Deb that doesn't also have to do with Quair.

While the "loving Dexter!" line was more memorable because of Muppet Gosling (and because it was close to the end), my favorite exclamation of disdain for our least favorite protagonist had to have been by the Brain Surgeon Red Herring Mommy Issues guy: "gently caress you, Dexter!"

There's no video of it on Youtube, and it breaks my heart.

I gotta be honest, I would like a Dexter reboot taking place "13 years in the future" where Hannah and Harrison are in a relationship.... :gonk:

This is so dumb it's actually plausible. Harrison grows up to be a serial killer, but since Showtime already did a show about a serial killer, they need to scrape the bottom of the Edgy Barrel to bring us: the son dating his dead (or is he?!) father's girlfriend.

Sanity be damned, I would love a spinoff of this trainwreck show. :munch:

My favorite b-plot was Quinn getting upset about something and going on a casual sex spree (I don't remember the specifics or even what season this was) that culminated in the scene with him pounding away at some faceless, nameless lady with a thousand-yard stare. I think it got gif'd, even. It was great. Quinn was the best part of that show.

Can't talk about Quinn without posting this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyyM_JjN7yw
