Ditto for the Kyle Butler /Trinity's son thing."oh hi- it's Kyle"
This I don't get ... IMO the whole idea of the scene was to point out how surreal the situation is ...contrasting the typical cheesy blossoming love stuff with the fact that they're planning to drug and ritualistically kill a man and then hack up his body and dispose of it. I assume they deliberately made it as cutesy as possible to do that (highlight the contrast). After all, it's not like they're trying to draw in the Hugh Grant romantic comedy crowd.
no other reason they focused on that for that amount of time. I cant see it being a non issue in finale but you never know. This season has been enjoyable but by far the least plausible and weakest storytelling of any Dexter season.They had a guy who was cutting up heads like he was playing Grand Theft Auto and he escaped the raid in the nightclub and they dont even MENTION him one time over the course of the next 4 episodes? that is insane.
I've never been a cop, but letting the people a homicide suspect worked with have total control over the potential evidence against him doesn't seem like the way they should do it.In spite of that I actually enjoyed the 2nd half of this season. Didn't have a problem with Lumen, thought Jordan was an interesting adversary and enjoyed the extra flavor the Liddy situation brought. Seems like I'm in the minority on that.
Dexter will kill Miley Cyrus and Justin Beiber
They left it intentionally ambiguous, but Deb did say to Dexter at the end of the episode that she was happy and that [Dex] "must be too..... now that this is all over." The way she kind of smiled and walked away after that led me to believe that she may suspect Dexter was that guy, and maybe that's why she never looked behind the curtain at the camp - she didn't want to know for sure.fsufan said:
Right there with you. 3 and 5 are pretty interchangable- I found the Jimmy Smits character horrible, but this season has more implausible holes. And despite the amount I roll my eyes and snicker during the show (oh yeah, the wife loves that), it's still better/more enjoyable than just about anything out there.
Liddy, Santa Muerte (whatever), and for that matter- vigilante murders.
The entire Miami Metro becomse an organized, hifiving serial-killing machine?So... Quinn- does he know Dexter killed Robo? Or is he just thinking Dex let him off for his sister?
Of course Quinn knows Dexter killed Liddy but because he gets to bang Deb, he doesn't care. Which is reason 306 this season sucked.
It's gonna really blow some minds at Miami Metro when a car that was reported stolen a block from their last crime scene shows up bashed in and upside down at their next crime scene.
It's always been thin. The formula has been repeated so often that it's just more apparent now.
Totally agree. Oh look, Dexter found yet another serial killer residing in his backyard! Oh noes, he almost got caught! Let's kill some lesser baddies along the way, and at the end of the year the real villain is a goner. Add in a couple moments of Dexter whining about his emotions (or lack thereof) and that's a wrap!They dropped the ball a couple seasons ago...they should have introduced some bad guy who lasted more than 1 year. Let Dexter truly be outmatched and struggle to outsmart his opponent. A joker to his batman, Moriarty to Sherlock, etc.
But that 5 percent is a big number. There are a lot of shows out there. And it USED to be better than 98%.
We want the level of quality of the previous seasons. We want forward movement in the overall story. Most of all, I want the Dexter from early seasons back...not this pg13 version of season 5.
Isn't this thread here so we can discuss this show as a whole? Pros and cons?
Yes, and while you and others enjoy ripping apart any and every show that isn't the wire, I enjoy poking at you people.
Actually Jordan would have been a good person for that role. They could have easily kept him untouchable to Dexter and his insight in people's psyches could have played well for a while. Of course the negative for most would have been that Lumen would have probably would have lasted just as long.
I generally keep quiet when a show is moves along at the same speed it always does. I've been a huge fan of Dexter in previous seasons. But it needs help. And the only shows I criticize on this board are Dexter and The Walking Dead.Yes, and while you and others enjoy ripping apart any and every show that isn't the wire, I enjoy poking at you people.
I'm even driving the Fringe bandwagon.
Jordan would have been good. Smits could have worked had they written his character better. Get some powerfully connected monster to threaten Dexter's family if something happens to them...then let the cat and mouse games play out.
I want more whining and complaining from the people whining and complaining about the whiners and complainers.
It's all from memory, but the ending of season 2 with Lyla bailing out Dexter really left a bad taste in my mouth. I would have loved to see what Dexter chose to do, instead of it being tied up nicely by a crazy broad.5 better than 2??
glad it's over...now I can pretend this season never happened and hope for a better next season
