Is that the same guy who would always post about how every episode was the best one yet and get mad that everyone else was making fun of how bad it was

Deb got shot, got better, and then had a fatal stroke.

Then Dexter sacrificed her dead body to a hurricane, faked his own death and hosed off to be a lumberjack while abandoning his son into the care of a fellow murderer.

When I described that season finale to my brother before he watched it he straight up thought I was messing with him.

I convinced the only twist is which episode we'll get ghost Doakes in

I cannot believe that the scene with the cop stopping him made me perk up with interest for the briefest of moments

God drat this show and what it's done to me

It is very important to point out that he doesn't dump her into the harbor

He takes her into the hurricane that shares the name of his dead mother

Honestly I thought that the transition to the kill, showing how out of practice he is, and the return to unhinged murderer Dexter was all highly effective. I still dare not hope there be actual consequences but overall this episode had good parts to it.

We know Dexter is going to get caught and executed because that’s how it was suppose to end anyway according to the original writers. No way they let him escape again after the backlash they received last time.

The problem I have is that for me the appeal in Dexter getting caught has nothing to do with him getting punished. Rather it was about all the other jackass characters being forced to come to terms with who he really was. Even if he's caught now we've already lost that. We'll never see Batista, Masuka, Quinn, Jaimie, etc. have to deal with the knowledge that the most prolific serial killer ever was right under their noses.

So what do we think is up with Clancy Brown thinking, or claiming to think, that his son's still alive

Also i really fuckin hope they're not actually gonna go with "weird bullied kid becomes a school shooter" because jesus christ

The bullied kid drawing himself as a comic book character so he can feel better is pretty ordinary. I think that scene was more about Harrison.

And that Clancy Brown is a real good actor. No idea what that was about, but it made me think about True Detective for some reason.

The preview for the next episode definitely wants to make us think that they're going the worse direction, but it could also just be usual TV misdirection.

I hope Angela eventually suspects Dexter of being the Trinity Killer, who, unlike the Bay Harbor Butcher, is still at large as far as anyone knows.

The Trinity killer is thought to be at large, but his identity is also conclusively known.

I think it's pretty clear that Iris was probably his first kill. He was younger and slimmer and didn't have his embalming ritual down yet, or probably his trap room.

I don't think any other bodies are going to be in that cave. He takes too much care in the embalming to shove them in a cave beneath a cairn. He wants them where he can visit them.

Yeah the fact that he's so upset about damaging the last girl's face implies that he's keeping their bodies somewhere. Iris being the first kill and only one in the cave makes a lot of sense.

You know, I kinda poo poo talked Angela last week. But I gotta give her props

I know it was contrived as poo poo, but the fact that someone other than Doakes finally put two and two together was very satisfying.

.... is what I would be saying if they hadn't hosed it up. gently caress you New Blood. Dexter used Etorphine, M99, for his kills. They mentioned this repeatedly throughout the original series. Ketamine wouldn't bring up details on the BHB. Hell, Ketamine is such a recreational drug that when I search "Ketamine Saskatoon Police" I end up with a few dozen drug busts. Worst. Episode. Ever.


Thank you I was like what the gently caress.

Also everything in this episode about Harrison and Kurt's relationship was really dumb.

Yeah he's doing some kind of preservation, probably embalming. That's why he was so upset he shot the one girl in the face and couldn't patch her up to look good.
