Now that you mention it...in this episode he sneaked in Travis' or the girl's house then dragged her out from the bed then tied her up without waking up Travis.

Season 4: Killing Rita without her learning the truth Season 5: Deb walks away from discovering Dexter That's just the way it works
I'm not waiting for this show to become Breaking Bad. I accept it for what it is, this last episode was just way too much of not-Dexter for me and it was the type of not-Dexter that doesn't even progress the greater plot, so it was just irritating for me.

that really doesn't explain the whole college professor who stole a sword etc etc
also, im pretty sure the guy's face was on his website iirc.

wait what, people actually don't like this season?
i love it. the killings are much more interesting, the excon preacher guy is a cool character, only thing that annoys me is that the killers assistant is so beta it hurts to watch scenes with him... his entire character can be described with the "okay.jpg" pic.. and then he fucks this hot waitress on the first date, wait what.

Spoilered for the sake of people who don't like theories:
+ Show Spoiler +I was kind of thinking something along the lines of maybe they started this thing out together and/or talked about it but somehow Olmos died (maybe Hanks did it?) and they became one. I'm not saying Olmos never existed. Just that somewhere along the way he ceased to.

I didn't expect that idea at all, but man it would be simply amazing.

This whole episode was developing uninteresting plot lines. + Show Spoiler +1. Masuka's assistant's plotline is revealed to be about as boring as can be.
2. Bautista and Quinn smoke weed with literally no consequence. It just seemed to be shoehorned in for comedic value or something.
3. Colin Hanks fucks that waitress after the first date. WTF? This is a guy who's following EJO's psychotic orders under, presumably, a very very strong and misguided faith. Would this guy who's murdering people for some twisted view on Christianity really be the fuck-on-the-first-date type? No, come on, that seems so inconsistent with how we understand the character.
4. Dexter barely even reminds us that he's a serial killer throughout the whole episode.
5. Deb faceplants as a Leutenent and then we're told that the public totally loves that so we have to continue just dealing with the fact that she doesn't make any fucking sense in that capacity.
6. Dex sees Colin Hanks at the crime scene and can immediately pick him out as a prime suspect. Da fuck?
Uhg, I dunno, you know me, I defend Dexter in most cases, but this episode just... upset me because I like Mos and Dexter's play off each other, but everything else in the episode just felt so irrelevant and stupid to me. It's like 90% of the ep between the 4 Horsemen investigation and the Angel killing seemed irrelevant and pointless. I don't mind some filler to develop the side characters, but it was SOOOO much of this episode and between developing side characters, it was just Dex and Mos discussing faith, which while interesting, wasn't what I wanted the content between irrelevant side shit to be (I would've dealt with all this irrelevant bullshit better if Dex was stalking and killing between it, just as I would've liked Dex and Mos's religious musings better if the cops were doing cop work that would've moved the greater story along).
Inclined to agree with everything said here. I feel as though the stories are going downhill since season 4. Was very disapointed by the Masuka/Ryan plotline. I was hoping she had some connection to dexter via the ice truck killer.

Wow... that's very likely. I feel like the season just got spoiled now.
Also, I like to play a game with every new season called "Who fucks Deb". My money is on the new black detective guy.

I've thought he wasn't real for an episode or two since someone brought it up.... but I would rather he be there and real. Geller is interesting alive than dead IMO.

wow nice theory. Didn't noticed all the little details, it may be true.

one of the episodes is titled "Get Gellar" so I'm inclined to believe he's real.

I second that theory. The sad part is it would be the 2nd black guy to fuck the lieutenant what with Doakes banging La Guerta.

Thought it was obvious since not a single character but Hanks has acknowledged Olmos' existence. Hank's reaction at the end fuels this theory even more since it was completely out of character. Unfortunately there are some pretty massive holes in the writing if either scenario ends up to be true that won't ever be explained.

Well guys then how did the waitress get tied up before Hank woke up in the morning?

He did it himself? The subconscious part that believes in the killings and is punishing him. Then he goes back to bed and wakes up as the person who liked the girl he dated.
I dunno. I actually don't believe it's just his imagination. I think there are two separate people. I'm just trying to throw out a theory.

Dexter didnt kill anyone in that episode, right? Isnt that pretty special?

I noticed that the waitress didn't look at Olmos at all during that scene, not even as he was talking or when he stroked her hair. Also, the hair stroking was at the back of the head, so we didn't actually see her hair get moved by him.
At this point I would be more surprised if he were real. More likely he's a ghost in the other guy's head, kind of a head cylon if you will.

Hey Quinn/Genius!, his face is on the website and they already spoke about him. I'll eat my words if they turn this into some fight club hangers.
Edit: haha everyone here jumping bandwagon on some already proven rule. People like conspiracy theories I suppose.
