It's 99% likely that the show which has previously had more than a little ad placement, is just doing a bit for DJI. Since you can see the DJI logo clearly whilst Harrison says "it's really cool!"

Its funny, people said the first or first two episodes were boring but I found this one more boring. Seems so stupid to me to go through all that captivity and poo poo with the girl just to let her run 10 feet and shoot her in the back. He even uses the god drat laser, it clearly ain't about the sport. I think the billionaire is as he seems and is just smoke and mirrors, though it would be interesting if they could pull off anything other than the obvious kurt being the killer angle. Especially seeing CB was already described as "this seasons villain" when cast. Gonna be something stupid to describe the alleged facetime call, but we all knew that. Almost unbelievably though to this point, theres potential there for something good.

Dexter running through the woods to throw off the scent is the kind of dark comedy that made the show initially entertaining. As far as letting the person go and shooting them. That’s easily explained as a form of torture. Lots of real life examples of twisted people toying with others for their own amusement.

Pretty sure the reason behind the facetime call is he is lying about his son being alive because he wants to call off the search before they stumble upon his hunting grounds. He was bothered by how far out the search was getting and asked if they were covering the summer camp, so it's probably around there.

Little weird though considering that he's the one who forced them to continue the search in the first place when they were prepared to abandon it.

Probably thought they were actually going to find his kid sooner. It's just when the search area got bigger and bigger that he got concerned. Would rather let his kid die than get caught. Which is probably going to be a theme this season as Dexter does the opposite.

I mean, he wants his son back, just not enough to risk getting caught as a low-rent most dangerous game hunter. That's only human.

Yeah I assumed that was the way it would end up going as well, he might as well have said "gulp" at the end of that sentence with the Sheriff. The awkward interaction on the highway makes me consider that the billionaire might be in on it too. There's also the shot where the hunter puts on his gloves, then the person pressing the button to open the door is without gloves. I'm assuming that's just a filming mistake though.

Yeah this is basically what that RL-serial killer did in Alaska, he didnt exactly give them a "sporting chance" when he let them run in the wilderness surrounding his cabin to hunt them after being held captive and flown out there, it was just another way to cruelly and brutally demean them with his favorite hobby.

He seemed disturbed by how close they were coming to the camp, then suddenly, it's a miracle, my son just called me! In fact, he FaceTimed me! So he's 100% alive! No need to keep searching everyone! Definitely stay away from the campgrounds!

I really hope someone has a trail cam of Dexter doing his little vest dance in the woods and they bring it up in the trial. As for the second thing, wtf? Seriously, who kills anyone or tortures anyone and lol at how lame it makes you look. Most killers never turn themselves in because they are so embarrassed. It takes a massive fucknig loser to kill someone and any kind of flair or fetish you put into it is cringe that makes you look like a tryhard freak not worthy of respect. Dexter is an absolute zero of course, but at least he has a TV show, most of the killers we see are other duds doing unimpressive bullshit for no audience.

DaveKap posted:You're misunderstanding what I'm trying to say. There are shows that sorta ignore what's going on in the real world and do their own thing and there are shows (Dexter) that bring out whatever pop-culture poo poo they can for no reason other than to seem more real and modern but it always feels incredibly shoehorned in. It's absolutely a vibe thread that Dexter specifically tugs on. Catfishing and drones definitely lead the way toward deep fakes. Don't forget podcasting!

Saying Chad is alive and fine would just bring up the question of "ok, where is he? He killed that white buck, he committed a crime." I don't think "I don't care if he committed crimes, he's alive, get over it" is going to cut it.

First he'll try to fake a phone call saying "everything is fine, stop looking for me". But when that isn't enough and people start asking more questions, he'll bring out the deepfake. But then the chief will insist that they need to physically process him for his crimes, so he'll have dickface undergo a series of cosmetic surgeries so he can look like his son and do some community service. Meanwhile Dexter gets more and more deranged, trying to prove Matt is actually dead, culminating with him shouting at dickface "YOU'RE NOT MATT! I KILLED YOU! YOU'RE DEAD!". Edit: "Harrison" will then pull off his flesh-mask and reveal... it's actually been Doakes the entire time!

It was Doakes who taught Harrison how to do the force choke on that kid. All part of his long term plans for revenge. His full name is Foster Doakes and that's why Harrison keeps saying he was in a Foster home.

In the next couple days, Dexter will happen to pass the incinerator on his way about town, only to spy a weirdo in a labcoat rootin around in there. "African American male... can't get a perfect ID with what remains, but it looks like Doakes was the White Buck Butcher." Masuka turns to Dexter and grins. "Surprise, motherfucker," he says cordially, but Dexter is not becalmed.

So how many episodes until the podcaster recognizes ol Dex and tells him that she's turned on by the Bay Harbor Butcher and we get those great internal monologues of Dexter wondering if he's found someone he can actually trust?

All the scenes with the teenagers are like a TV adaptation of Life is Strange. That cop interviewing Dexter at the station was channeling Doakes.

With this talk of enjoying the show because we all missed how fun this thread was, I guess I'll bring up a couple of quotes from Michael C Hall. From February: quote:When he was asked whether the upcoming 10-episode series would definitely be the show’s last, he added: “I’m reluctant to say ‘definitely’, you know? Let’s see. What’s plain now is that there’s 10 new episodes.” From 5 days ago: quote:When asked if he would like to spend more time in Dexter's shoes moving into the future? "Maybe." The showrunner at Comic-Con said: quote:The ending of this one will be stunning, shocking, surprising, unexpected. And without jinxing anything, I will say that the ending of this new season that we’re doing will blow up the internet. Keep in mind that all the marketing calls this a "limited series" so I think the Internet really does have to blow up to get another season after this one. As long as Dexter doesn't do anything he can't come back from, like cut into a million pieces or shot into space, that Season 10 possibility exists. That said I'm happy someone made that Deb wood chipper gif so I didn't have to.

I also just wanna say I feel good about the fact that we're all breezing by the "Hannah died from Cancer" thing that made everyone flip out before episode 2. We can make fun of this show and all the bad parts of it but there's still enough good in it that we're actually being warmly positive about it instead of overtly hateful. Thread's kinda comfy.

Back when he actually cared about the ritual, he'd decorate the kill room with pictures of the target's victims and related paraphernalia. It was never supposed to be pretend sport, it was supposed to be pretend justice.
