+ Show Spoiler + Syfy buys the show. They slot it for Wednesday afternoons at 2pm. It is canceled due to poor ratings during mid-season break. But really.....meh. Season 5 could have been soooooooo much better. Started off well and then went to shit. | ||

Let me say this though: This is still one of if not the best show you can watch. This season included. I love this show and all it's about. That said, this season was really bad. Way too much relationship shit with Deb/Quin (standard) and Angel / Laguarta (usually deb is tolerable but doubled up with this it was intolerable as a whole). They start with cult killings (AWESOME) but then it ends in a side plot that never ends up mattering? They make this big fucking deal out of deb being a scape-goat but then in the same episode (basically) it's resolved and everyone is fine with each other. Also one of the brother's got away or something but that was never really dealt with. Too little Masuka. That was dumb. Main plot was brutal and interesting. Group that is mind controlled by a fanatical super villain type guy... cool. But each guy was hunted down and murdered NO PROBLEM. One guy managed to kinda run away and Dexter ALMOST got caught which made for the best episode of the season btw. Ok... Love story? Standard Dexter. But this was bad. I wanted her to turn out to be a manipulator. I wanted her to end up not being able to stop killing. I wanted her to turn on Dexter. I WANTED SOMETHING other than "oh I am cured. Thanks cya" what? It all wasn't convincing anyways. Lets do a stand alone OK I think they "love" each other. She got raped to SHIT and is now having sex with Dexter and carrying on fairly normally? They should have ditched the love connection for this season... or at least changed the story. No woman that gets gang raped and imprisoned while tortured to near death is having sex with her vigilante boyfriend a week later. Suspend disbelief yeah yeah but come on? Finale: What the fuck? ALMOST got cool with Deb finding them. But then nothing. ALMOST got cool with Jason nearly taking Dexter out but then he fucking leaves dexter on the floor free except for his hands are tied.. come on? Bond made it look more convincing with villain "I am going to draw out this dramatic death while I explain my plans/reasoning." I am 100% completely enthused for the next season. But I have nothing to get jacked about aside from the show improving. Quin shoulda died in a "whoops" murder. Deb shoulda found out about Dexter. Angel and Laguarta should have died or SOMETHING... you can't go from the most epic season finale/one of the best seasons of any show ever to THIS which was a bland fest  mr incontrol, I think that the show needs to make you uncomfortable. It's never gonna be about dexter triumphing over the world with his big biceps. It's always going to be awkward, disappointing and tentative. This is the main theme of the show, how different and flawed people learn to live with each other. What I'm saying is, fundamentally, this season is no different from the others. I think you were more disappointed at the end of each season than you think you were. I don't think you were ever comfortable with the plot. | ||

 As for iNcontrol he is dam right about everything he said and I agree. It really all made sense to me when I found out that the original writers quit after Season 4 and these were new ones for Season 5. Maybe I can just speak with hindsight now that the season is over, but the difference is noticeable. | ||

No matter how fucked up the relationship is, if you kill someone together, you get laid. | ||

It will be interesting to see if the writers ever allow Deb/the kids to find out his secret, personally i hope Deb finds out. I'm pretty sure the writers have designed Quinn to be a purely annoying character, but he's been like that since he was first inserted into the show. Although now that he's been with Deb you know he's on the way out, because all Deb's lovers end up dead. I really like the arguments Dexter has with his father (all in his head of course) they are always entertaining. I think where this season wasn't quite as good as Season 4 was the plot twists. In season 4 when Dexter was hunting down Trinity and followed him back to his house planning to kill him, right after Lundy had been killed, then to discover that Trinity had a family after he had been built up as a lone wolf drifting from city to city. I remember being so excited at the end of that episode, just to see how Dexter would react. Stuff like that just turns a good series into a great one. Overall Dexter is still a fantastic show and i can't wait for the next season! | ||

And just personally, I can't stand Deb(hate the actor) and I've never liked Julia Stiles(her character was lame too). I enjoyed the episodes where Dexter would murder a few people while progressing the 'main' plot of the season. I don't want to get to know Deb and I don't really need Dexter to have a love life. I disliked this season for a lot of personal reasons, but in general, it really just went no where interesting. Character development is great, but you need a solid and interesting plot as well. | ||
