Suprised the check Quinn gave to Batista was dated November 19, 2011. Are these shows taped that far in advanced, it takes over a year to air?

Absolutely. Especially the cable shows. But they could have easily picked a date in the future for the check since they knew when it would air. By the time they start production, they could certainly ballpark within a week or two when this particular episode would be broadcast (especially since Dexter follows the same air pattern every season). For example, someone just asked me today at work when one of our shows would be airing its 100th episode. This show has only made about 80 by now and a 100th would happen sometime next season if the network renewed it. But I was still able to tell them "if it's picked up for season 5, the 100th would air about October 7 2013 give or take two weeks." I've been asked to forecast two years worth of airdates for shows that haven't shot the pilot yet. It's easily something the propmaster could have done right, regardless, it was a little silly to put the date of production because obviously episode 7 of the next season won't be airing that day. Perhaps he thought no one would freeze-frame it, or, he just mindfarted and wrote 2011 instead of 2012.

Also, who didn't know that the writer was going to get killed by her putting poison on that pen he kept on chewing.

Totally obvious the way they spotlighted it with Deb's remark earlier.

 

[No. 16]

Finally caught up on the season.

Loving it so far. Really like how they've handled everything aside from the ridiculousness of Dexter's kills. Although that can be forgiven, IMO because the show has steered away from focusing ON the kills and is instead delving deeper into WHY he kills through Deb (justice), Hannah (nature/survival), and Isaac (enjoyment/thrill).

I actually like Isaac as a bad guy. Dexter has yet to face a super bad ### who is physically superior AND smart. Dexter is back on track after last season, IMO.

This season is definitely a step up from the last one.

 

[Ned]

What? No Deb loves Dexter comments?

 

[The Hardline]

Dexter and Issac at the bar was one of the better scenes as far as dialogue that I have seen in the show since it started. Good content and setup.

 

[Rick James]

Can someone explain what Laguerta thinks she's doing? I must have missed something in the last few weeks.

This show is light years ahead of where it was. I don't know what happened the two previous seasons, if the writers were all just messing with us or what...but this season has been excellent.

 

[Maelstrom]

Can someone explain what Laguerta thinks she's doing? I must have missed something in the last few weeks.

Didn't she have a thing for Sgt. Dokes? She is trying to clear his name as the Bay Harbor Butcher. And apparently is going to have a lot of circumstantial evidence lead her to the conclusion that Dexter is the BHB. Willing to let that line play out.

I will agree this scene in particular was the best Dexter scene in ages, but the whole prison part of isaac's storyline and his release so quickly is what makes Dexter a poorly written show. That stuff just doesnt happen like that in the real world.

Maybe the episode after his wife died he killed one, but was it targeted or a mistaken identity killing?

Of all the outlandish things that happen on this show, its the prison release that puts it over the top for you? I don't get these posts. We're watching a fictional show. Of course there are going to be some things that don't happen like they do in the real world.

He killed the guy in the bathroom in kind of a fit of rage after his wife died, but I actually thought he had someone on his table that he did the usual treatment to who turned out to be innocent.ETA: Also killed Prado's brother though not on the table. That was an accident

Here are all the "innocent" kills on Dexter:

Oscar Prado, Miguel Prado's brother - Self defense, the first accidental break of Harry's code, he thought he was a junkie coming for drugs trying to kill him, but he was in fact a drug user on the mend, protecting his house. He worked with at risk kids and had a few parking tickets.

Camilla Figg - Euthanasia, the first intentional break of Harry's code, at Camilla's request. She was on her death bed, not wanting to suffer anymore, and so he brought her her favorite Key Lime Pie, laced with poison.

John Farrow - Incorrect evidence, Dexter thinks this photographer who has been accused of violent acts before and stages elaborate death scenes in his art is clearly a killer. However, it later turns out, with air tight evidence, that his assistant was the killer all these years.

Rankin - Rage, Dexter's first killing of a potential innocent bystander. A guy in a bathroom talks smack to Dexter immediately following his wife's death. He loses it and beats him to death. His inner voice dad says "That's the first human thing I've seen you do."

Stan Liddy - Self Defense, a corrupt ex-cop determined to get back on the force by busting Dexter, he traps Dexter in "a van down by the river." A knife fight ensues, and Dexter has no choice but to defend himself.

Looks like Farrow is the one

I get that part, but what's this big revelation about Dexter having a boat? Everyone knows he has a boat.

I took it to mean -- because she already thinks it's an "insider" of some kind... Never thought it was Dokes. Now, she has Dexter leaving a boat slip 8 months early right when the evidence is closing in on that marina and it's just going to be her looking into Dexter much more closely. Plus she has Deb kind of blowing her off on this investigation where in the past Deb would have been all over this type of thingI think the season finale will have Laguerta finding something else and it'll be the cliff-hanger into next season (which will be the last -- I have no idea if next season is the last, I'm just guessing that's how this is going to play out).

What is the evidence leading to the marina? And I forget, what was she looking at that had Dexter's name on it? Looked like phone records or something? Sometimes I'm football Sunday hammered when I watch and don't rewatch.

I think she's still under the theory that the BHB was law enforcement due to his targets. That and the BHB, well, dumped his bodies in the bay. IIRC, the two lists were of boat-slip renters and Miami Metro employees, and Dex is on both.

 

[packersfan]

I'm really enjoying this season. Vastly superior to the last two. Not quite as good as the first four but in the same ballpark. REALLY hate the Deb loves Dexter storyline, though, and I was hoping they wouldn't revisit it but at least it's creating some possible tension.

Agree with the comments about the bar scene. That was extremely well done on all levels.

 

[bigmarc27]

I still think Season 3 is the worst of all of them. This season falls in line behind the first 2 though...

1 > 2 > 7 = 4.... 5 > 6................................. 3.

I think it was the rocks used to sink the bodies that led them to Dexter's marina. Something was unique about the rocks in that marina. They put surveillance on the marina, but Dexter got ahold of the video.

I know its nit picky, i get the murders and dont care about too much realism when it comes to those since lets face it, if someone was murdering hundreds of people that was unsolved it would lead ot huge investigations, but the way they portray the justice system is such a farce. All the whining from me and I will say this season is highly entertaining though

Oscar Prado, Miguel Prado's brother - Self defense, the first accidental break of Harry's code, he thought he was a junkie coming for drugs trying to kill him, but he was in fact a drug user on the mend, protecting his house. He worked with at risk kids and had a few parking tickets.

Camilla Figg - Euthanasia, the first intentional break of Harry's code, at Camilla's request. She was on her death bed, not wanting to suffer anymore, and so he brought her her favorite Key Lime Pie, laced with poison.

John Farrow - Incorrect evidence, Dexter thinks this photographer who has been accused of violent acts before and stages elaborate death scenes in his art is clearly a killer. However, it later turns out, with air tight evidence, that his assistant was the killer all these years.

Rankin - Rage, Dexter's first killing of a potential innocent bystander. A guy in a bathroom talks smack to Dexter immediately following his wife's death. He loses it and beats him to death. His inner voice dad says "That's the first human thing I've seen you do."

Stan Liddy - Self Defense, a corrupt ex-cop determined to get back on the force by busting Dexter, he traps Dexter in "a van down by the river." A knife fight ensues, and Dexter has no choice but to defend himself.

Looks like Farrow is the one

good stuff getting that list.But he had reasons to believe that Farrow was a murderer so not a real big break in the code, just an error. The murder in the bathroom was a break but can be explained as a heat of the moment fit of rage that he would not have done had there been any time to think it through. If Laguerta prods deep enough Dexter may have no choice but to feed her to the fishes

explain why the convo in the gay bar was more outlandish than releasing someone involved in a triple murder because some evidence went missing?

 

[Tremendous Upside]

It wasn't just some evidence. It was the only evidence tying Isaac to the murders. When his lawyer asked for independent testing MIami Metro was forced to admit they lost the evidence. At that point it is entirely realistic that they would have had to release him. Might it have taken a couple of days longer "in real life"? Sure...but in the grand scheme of logic stretching on Decter this was at the bottom of the list.

I have to agree. This is the best season of dexter than i can recall in a while. Great story lines IMO. His scenes with Issac are awesome!!!

He won't have to break his code...his sister will be forced to take out Laguerta if she continues to get closer. I imagine Laguerta pulling a gun on Dexter...about to take him in when BAM...sis takes her down.

I guess if it was the ONLY thing they had on him its not thaaaaat big of a stretch, it just bothered me since we knew he was getting out in a cheesy method and he was out like a second later so it was like what was the point of that whole angle?Also i love how Miami Metro continues to have major errors during murder investigations like missing evidence and they sort of just ask around for a few minutes and move on.

[DA RAIDERS]

I guess I'm in the minority. I find myself fast forwarding most scenes that involve deb or laguerta Isaac is a cool character and the chick is hot, but needs to be naked way more.

Deb being in love with dexter is just ####### stupid.

For me the show jumped the shark 2-3 seasons ago.

I think the revelation had something to do with the boats name (Slice of Life) along with the other circumstantial evidence starting to add up.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Really liking this season to date.

Better than the last 2 years, which I still managed to enjoy.

The gay Ukranian gangster + the Deb angle and the Hannah McKay storylines are top notch.

Not so much, the Quinn/stripper/corrupt cop storyline, the LaGuerta storyline and the Batista retiring ones.

Masuka also is being given nothing to do, which is a shame.

The babysitter story line is hilarious. What student can look after a child 15 hours a day, without a problem and do her studies?

I know is convenient for the plot, but it fails the stink test.

Just how many serial killers/murderers are there in Miami?

Still love the show though, inexplicable storylines have to be factored in given the premise, and looking forward to its conclusion next year.

 

[Michael Brown]

How busy are you people that you feel the need to fast forward scenes from a show that you are watching?

 

[Fly]

Just got caught up late last night...

Is it weird that I am rooting for just one kinky night of Deb and Dex?

 

[David Yudkin]

This season has been really good. They closed out some story arcs tonight . . . a lot earlier than I expected. Makes you wonder what they have in store the last 3 episodes this year.

 

[Sarnoff]

Good season so far, but not sure I loved this episode. Seems a bit late to be throwing a wrench into the arcs. Now the big-bad serial killer, the pyro guy, just starts with 3 episodes left?

And is 'stabbing a guy at the firing range' the most ridiculous kill we've seen from Dexter? That one really strains disbelief.

[comfortably numb]

The pyro guy is the fireman that was in the elevator with Dexter? Or do i just want to believe that?

 

[Hang 10]

I'm feeling pretty confident that I made the right decision to quit this show. There was just no going back for me after seasons 5 & 6. Sounds like 7 is more of the same.

 

[harryhood]

The pyro guy is the fireman that was in the elevator with Dexter? Or do i just want to believe that?

Absolutely, and I didn't doubt that for a second after he himself made mention of the fact that the killer had to be wearing a fire suit. Too much time spent on a forensic fire expert for it not to be. Circling around the OTHER main story line within last nights episode....didn't Doakes die in a fire....?

Correct - Could we see Dex shake LaGuerta without breaking the code, and having this guy tied in somehow? Also of note, I thought it was interesting that the arson investigator made specific mention to Deb that he met her at the "church fire" which is the same place LaGuerta got this whole thing started.

"I'm just gonna stab this guy and leave the body lying around in a public place in broad daylight with a bunch of armed survivalist and military types probably all over the joint, where I had to show an ID to get in and probably some security cameras recording it. But since it's outside of Metro Miami's jurisdiction, it'll all be cool."

Why doesn't he just murder everyone outside the Miami Metro area if you can just leave bodies wherevs?

So why are you still watching it?

 

[Jim11]

Dexter and Issac at the bar was one of the better scenes as far as dialogue that I have seen in the show since it started. Good content and setup.

This show is light years ahead of where it was. I don't know what happened the two previous seasons, if the writers were all just messing with us or what...but this season has been excellent.

I will agree this scene in particular was the best Dexter scene in ages, but the whole prison part of isaac's storyline and his release so quickly is what makes Dexter a poorly written show. That stuff just doesnt happen like that in the real world.

If stuff on TV happened like it does in real life, you'd be bored outta your skull watching it.
