Yeah, it didn't come in the episode I watched last night, but Deb tells the therapist for the first time that Dexter is her adopted brother not a blood relation, and there's a humongous shift in the therapists' demeanor like she's all of a sudden very intrigued by this. The therapist is super lovely at her job. Like every scene she basically acts like your know-it-all friend who's very pushy about their suggestions for how you should live your life. It seems like it was written by someone who's never been to therapy and thinks a therapist is the same as a life coach or something.

Dexter you killed my lover. If I were to live 1000 years I will never forget that. I will escape this prison and hunt you down no matter where you may hide.... unless you can kill these assassins for me, then we will become best friends.

This, 100%. There's no way the writers weren't just loving around with them. As great as that is, I think my favorite dropped plot has to be the nerd. I know we were discussing that a few pages back, but seriously, it's great. They spend half a season building toward something and it's just nerd rage in the end. Behind the scenes, it was actually supposed to end with the guy being a copycat killer who had caught onto Dexter, but apparently Hall (or at least I think it was him?) objected to the idea because he thought the notion of two serial killers working for one police department was "too unrealistic." Like yeah, Miami is apparently filled to the brim with serial killers that have elaborate MOs and over a dozen victims each but nah, can't have two working under the noses of the world's most incompetent police department. That would just be silly.

That was also the plot of the book Double Dexter except I don't recall if the copycat nerd in that one was police.

One of the most unbelievable parts of Season 6 is Jaime's patience. There's no way that kid doesn't think she's his mother and Dexter is just some dude who comes around on rare occasions.

They had the nanny in season five actually call him out on this behavior, then they just replaced her with a new one who will just go along with it between seasons.

Man, I assumed Hannah was gonna give them an out. But I guess she can't be trusted with dangerous things like treadmills all over the place.

I feel like instead of an overly detailed nanny plotline they could have just had Dexter occasionally have a nanny and have most of the story take place on a time scale that implies that Dexter is actually just at home most nights on average, but that would make sense and involve less padding of the show with nanny scenes.

This would work a lot better I'm sure. You just see random sitters who don't say anything. Instead for some reason, she's Angel's much younger sister and dating the weirdo intern guy

Nep-Nep posted:Quinn dating the babysitter reminds me of this (Breaking Bad spoilers) I completely forgot this happens. Angel in Season 6 gets into a fistfight with Quinn and tries to have him transferred out of homicide. I assume he has like one scene where he's like "You're dating my sister? Grrrr" and then it's papered over.

PostNouveau posted:This would work a lot better I'm sure. You just see random sitters who don't say anything. Outside wanting a consistent nanny out of guilt for Rita and wanting Harrison to have a normal around, bringing in the same person to observe your general behavior is stupid as gently caress — let alone someone who is literal family of the other people who see you most. Having a rotation of don't care sitters who aren't interested about your life outside of if the television has HBO or aren't around long enough to pick up on stuff is the unbelievably less suicidal solution. Honestly a foreign nanny who doesn't speak English super well or is just from out of the country and not going to pick up on how alien you ( used to be in early seasons ) are is a better choice if it needs to be a nanny. The show sort of becomes less logicality garbage if after Rita's death all of Dexter's actions are driven out of a desire to get caught rather than for his kids.

She’s Batista’s sister and she dates two different people who work in the department. There are so many opportunities for her to say something about Dexter working late to someone who knows for a fact that it isn’t true. Just monumentally stupid.

He's never at work during the day either. Jaime and Deb could put this together if they talked to each other for 5 minutes in Season 6 (instead they fight about some bullshit).

I hope the twist is that Deb didn't really die somehow (it doesn't have to make sense) and has just been following Dexter around and he assumes she's not real.

People love to poo poo on the ending, but there was a lot of good poo poo leading up to it, too. Like just before the end, he's about to kill the season's other serial killer that he finally tracked down, but then he realizes that he has a really hot girlfriend he can trust and therefore he doesn't need to kill anymore. Incidentally, said girlfriend tried to kill Deb multiple times and was currently fleeing to Argentina with his son because she had to take him to the ER after babysitting him for half a day and got made, a real winner. Anyways there's a big ol' fanfare, Ghost Harry says this time he's cured for real and fades away, and instead of killing the guy, Dexter just ties him up and leaves him for the police to arrest. The guy gets free and shoots Deb, who goes into a coma and is eventually declared brain dead. Dexter goes to see the guy in jail and stabs him dead in the interview room, but Quinn and Batista, being cops, file this as a clear case of self-defense. The last thing he does before heading off to lumberjack life is kidnap Deb, take her off life support, and dump her in the harbor. It's this kind of deep symbology and nuance you are missing.
