[TV] Dexter - Page 110

want to say first this a bit of a badly written recap, because i am not sure i remember things in the right order so sorry about that.
watching this series again was seriously painful at first after the huuuuuge season 4 death of rita. It was gutwrenching to me how we saw dexter completely unable to deal with the situation like we've seen him do so many times. Then astor and him once again end up fighting, like they have been doing a lot throughout the season before as well. Then they end up shipping the kids off to orlando, and frankly i could not care about the cop out that was, because honestly i'm watching this series for dexter and his turmoil. I'm not watching how does a man without feeling deal with teenager issues throughout the entire series. Then lumen turns up and i'm instantly going lololol with the huge hint in her name, could they have made that any more obvious? for anyone who does not know, lumen is latin for light. The constant referencing of the darkness in dexter that is ever present and the special circumstances of them meeting sealed a season of interaction between these two counterparts. It's fitting that she ends up in the season finale being a ray of light for dexters soul, it shows him that it is possible to change.

Ok that is taking way to long, the finale was pretty good imo. The dexter series has seen a very structured system to each system with the finale wrapping things up and creating a closed story arc. This finale was the same and it left me satisfied but hungry for more on dexter. I am super intrigued how they are going to wrap up the loose ends that were left throughout this finale. The crashed car for example is an easy lead back to the crime scene of liddy because it was stolen nearby and turns up conveniently at the barrel girl site. I liked how lumen left and did not get killed or arrested which would be a rehash of season 4 all over again.
only thing that saddens me is that dexter just ended up alone AGAIN, every season i feel for the guy and i am sooooo awaiting the moment he just gushes out his entire secret how he was the bay harbor butcher and not doakes how the ice truck killer was his brother, that he was the vigilante everything. his character saddens me every time, and this time they really freaking cock teased you in the season finale with the epic deborah showdown and getting some very good character development in at the same time. loved that part.
Then i loved the part where dexter is disgusted with his own reflection and throws the plates against the oven. that was a realllly strong moment to me.
overall i liked the season, it was not the fucking gut wrenching ending of season 4, but let's be honest here if they would have tried to top that season finale in any way, what would have happened? IT WOULD HAVE FAILED MISERABLY AND EVERYONE WOULD HAVE HATED IT. this way they are setting up for the final season imo, it won't last till the 7th. now on to predictions in my next spoiler. :-)

-harrison in the beginning of season 6 will exhibit normal behaviour and dexter will believe more in the grief counselors words that harrison was not affected. following in the line of season 5 that things CAN end well.

-It's not over yet with quinn, i know they tried to wrap things up with the quinn and liddy case, but honestly it was too much. it was kinda sorta half-assed wrapped up, and i think that the season will start out normally but some around 1/3 or 1/2 way in quinn will rekindle his suspicions about dexter. (out of spite possibly (see next part.), or another weird cover up dexter move to get himself out of a tough position.) another thing that is possible is that the flipped car at the jordan park starts the next story arc.
- related to the last point, quinn will be stressed out and weird because he now carries a secret that no one else knows, that liddy was about to make a big bust related to dexter and got killed. by a professional even (dexter told quinn this himself in the van scene at the end of season 5.) with a single stab to the heart. this behaviour will be cause of more drama with morgan.
- morgan will start in a process of reinventing herself. the event at the end of season five marks a fundamental change in the way morgan works as a character. as others said, things are not black and white. she will doubt herself and will look for help to dexter.
- morgan will be in spanish class and be constantly bitching about how hard it is, angel will help her.

- angel and laguerta will once again play the love birds and remain as a side plot / mental support figures.
- more masuka jokes will be seen, as that was lacking from season 5 imo.

- some random drama with the kids will occur, it will involve astor and dexter bonding as a true family with dexter running off every now and again obv.

SEASON 6 finale:
- dexter will be revealed. i hope that it will happen in a good way, not in the oh snap i forgot about some shit and he gets caught in the act type of way. Dexter needs to tell the complete story to everyone about his life and all the things he has faced. he will try to cover up for lumen because "he will carry the darkness for her" , will it work is another question.
- there is one other option and (this will infuriate me if they try to take this route) that is that dexter pretty much gets over his dark passenger. possibly to live happily ever after, or to die / vanish.
Wishfull thinking? hell yeah!
