Thanks. It's perfect.  Edit: Devorum posted:The white hart/stag is a symbol of purity and being allowed to touch one symbolizes redemption.

Oh I just remembered something I thought was interesting was how Harrison's speech was set over shots of other things happening in town, making it feel very much like one of Dexter's end of arc internal monologues.

I hope it turns out Harrison is not actually a perfect psychopath with a dark passenger and he’s just a normal adultified kid who told a tall tale because he was freaking out. Or that’s what I would hope if I wanted the show to be any good, what I actually want is maximum stupid. Have Hannah be Harrison’s dark passenger and also alive and have a scene where she shows up and Harrison doesn’t realize she’s there until Dexter shows up and reacts to her presence.

That's because she's Trinity's daughter who has been looking for her dad ever since he disappeared in the hopes of reconcilliation. She's there because she recognizes Dexter, who is her last link to her father. Everything else she does is just a cover for this.

I hate this whole "bathed in blood as baby = killer" thing. Look, we could kill every baby's parents in front of them and let them sit in a pool of blood and the bad part of that will always be not having parents -- the kid doesn't care about the blood, I'm pretty sure babies would smear blood all over themselves the same as peanut butter or lotion if you had bottles of it around. Kill whoever you want in front of your kid if he's young enough, that's not a "think of the children moment!"

"He freaked out and thought he'd get in trouble if people knew he had reason to suspect anything beforehand and/or hadn't acted entirely in self-defense" pretty much covers everything, particularly given that he's a troubled teen. Even pretending Hannah was a saint, he clearly bounced around abusive homes and a garbage foster system, which teaches kids to never trust authorities and always lie to cover your rear end, because you're the one who gets in trouble if you lash out. The show won't go there and he's definitely a kid psycho who is obsessed with straight razors due to events happening to him as a baby that he could not possibly have the capacity to recall or analyze, but it's the reasonable answer.

In my mind the bullied kid has a knife and is like "hooray gonna go get my guns and light this candle." To stop him, Harrison slashes him with the razor he's got for hosed up reasons, realizes the inquiry is going to go where he doesn't want it to go, so he grabs the kid's knife and does the needful.

I also hope it was just that Harrison realized Ethan was going to end up being a school shooter and was just trying stop it before it became a problem or something. But the straight razor and where he cut Ethan makes it seem like this is him awakening and becoming a killer or some dumb poo poo.

Wasn't it suggested or even explicitly stated in the last season that Dexter's dad hosed up big time and that by introducing the code and pushing Dexter down the path he basically ensured that he would be a serial killer when I wasn't actually inevitable in the first instance?

It's definitely going to turn out that Harrison did what he did and lied about it because he's growing into the psychopath he was always meant to be, but it will never be the rational explanation. Pre-emptively attacking someone who has made it clear that they're going to do a school shooting and covering your tracks is a perfectly understandable reaction, even if it can be argued that a less dangerous option existed.Breetai posted:Wasn't it suggested or even explicitly stated in the last season that Dexter's dad hosed up big time and that by introducing the code and pushing Dexter down the path he basically ensured that he would be a serial killer when I wasn't actually inevitable in the first instance? I'm sure the idea that Harry hosed up was suggested at some point, and the sane person's reading of season 8 was that he and Charlotte Rampling were absolute loving lunatics, but I'm pretty sure the intended message was that they did right by the boy in the end.

At this point Harrison not being a psycho and Dexter not screwing it up would be both subversive to previous plots and also heartwarming. I have to assume that we're back with this character because the original show runner has some affection for him. It would be weird if that leads back to the same old resolution. Also, there was a whole minor plot point about Dexter not believing Harrison didn't cheat.

The guns were at home. If he really planned to shoot up the school, there was a lot of time to do something about it. Maybe something less drastic than slashing an artery.

I'm almost positive Dexter got the splatter analysis wrong by fitting the evidence into his preconceived narrative and we'll get a scene where Harrison gives an explanation that also fits the blood spatter.

Harrison is 100% a murderer, and I suspect probably offed Hannah too. But the show is gonna be playing it ambiguous as to whether his kills could be righteous kills or not (they're not). Most of the season is going to be a emotional tug of war between Clancy Brown, town paterfamilias and local psycho, and Dexter, who'll be fighting over how to raise Harrison. And also just doing murder mind games. Then Dexter kills the kid or the kid kills Dexter, or maybe Johnny Sequoyah kills Harrison to show what a well raised kid is like. Show ends.

I just marathoned six feet under so I'm trying to shake 6 seasons of gay Dexter out of my head. When he said, "he has my dark passenger" I couldn't help but laugh. It really cemented Michael C. Hall's range to me and I'm surprised he hasn't done more work.

If Harrison did not perform the actions that Dexter's blood spatter analysis is suggesting, then this show has thrown me worse than the time I got thrown by Edward James Olmos being dead in old Dexter because he was shown talking on a cell phone. I forget if that was before or after the time Dexter let head Dad out of the passenger seat of his car on the side of a highway but this show sure used to love really stupid subversion caused by extremely unreliable narration. I'd rather the new season's showrunner find that poo poo trite and pointless and avoid pulling gotchas for the sake of gotchas. On top of that, it's hard to think of Harrison as being an innocent hero cutting Ethan off at the pass when all the Mary Sue perfection he's had up until this point should undermine throwing Ethan under the bus just to be a hero. He shouldn't only be a psycho, he should be better at it than Dexter. That's what I'd like to watch, anyway. Also, the alert on the phone is absolutely stupidly super unrealistic. The alert sound wasn't set to 250% volume and ultra annoying. The show's alert was so calm by comparison it could lull a baby to sleep.

He's using the town's bigotry against it, hoping that they'll not look into the issue further because they're already biased against the weird kid. But it took Dexter -- who's probably a bit too good at his old job, if also probably rusty -- about five minutes to find two large inconsistencies in Harrison's statement, and that's the kind of poo poo a lawyer would make hay out of in court. There's also the issue of the kid not having any guns at school, and the wounds being inflicted by a weapon that wasn't found at the crime scene. A half decent investigation would result in assault charges being levelled against Harrison, but, again, these cops aren't competent.
