Why did dexter cut the page out of the bible? This is not good tv.

Edit: I get that it matched the snippets the idiot cops found. But I am so loving confused.

This is so boring.

Edit: Good, Quinn is going to get some more strange. Is he going to do the 1000 yard stare for us.

Edit2: Dexter writers are classless. Quinn talking about 'his investment' in the college woman within earshot of her.

Alright I'm done for the night, I got work to do. Those two episodes were very disappointing. So much awesome happened at the start with the four horsemen, and all we got was Edward James Olmos yelling into the phone and calling women whores while having his face plastered on the front page of the paper.

I think it's the episode where Hannah and Dexter track some guy he thinks is the big bad killer to Key West. But I'm just going by Wikipedia summaries here since I don't remember either.

There was a lot of bullshit involving travel that season I think.
Yeah, that's the one. It's where the kid whose name I can't remember goes from being really irritating to sort of puppy dog dumb and amusingly watchable, and they all get together for a family dinner. Then, of course, they kill off this new family dynamic that had at least a modicum of potential in favor of more Hannah.

You've already learned about Dexter's birth dad (Joe Driscoll) in season 1 episode 9 so no he is not.

(Don't feel bad, I forgot too until I looked it up)

Zach Hamilton. That guy was actually so annoying that it was really what made me finally give up on season 8 while it was airing.

Oh I remember the days of being excited by the first couple episodes. The trailers were so good at hyping up the season. Even the last season had a trailer that made it seem like it would end well.

I honestly do feel a little bad when I see how much hope he still has for the show. But on the other hand it's fun to make fun of the show with him. It's almost like when we first hatewatched season 8!

While he's left wondering "Will Deb find out?" we're left wondering "Will Dirk find out how bad this show is?"

Unfortunately at the end of the thread he will find the show's badness but it will be obscured by a plastic sheet, leaving us all hanging.

I really can't wait to see his reaction to the road trip episode. It is one of the most incredible episodes of the series for so many reasons. That was the episode where pretty much everyone en masse realized the show had really truly gone off the rails in its entirety. I don't really remember anyone taking the show seriously after that point, and every episode thread from that point on transitioned into live watch open mockery. There's also just something about the ending scene of that episode, it will never leave me: ghost dad hitchhiking. It just blew my mind.

This is the episode where Dexter kills a convenience store clerk in Nebraska and then climbs up a 15 story grain silo with one hand while carrying an overweight dead body in the other, right? And gets away with it? Yeah...

What's funny is there's exactly 0 b-plots that go anywhere past Trinity. There's some (sanguinstas?) murder group in one of the seasons with a spunky new latina officer investigating it that vanishes like a fart in a hurricane. Quair (as soon as he is introduced actually) is being investigated by IA because ??? and that gets dropped.

Do you mean the Santa Muerte case? The Saguinistas are a True Blood vampire faction. :v:

I always thought it was funny (and stupid) the way they introduced Quinn as some kind of dirty cop and would occasionally look like they were going to revisit this, but always just sort of dropped it. Plus his constant terrible life decisions.

The whole side plot with Angel and Laguerta getting married is completely useless too
