I miss the days of Doakes and Trinity I admit those seasons were awesome (especially Trinity) but I'm enjoying this one too. The Geller being inside Travis' head thing was a bit predictable but I liked some of the story arcs in it. Like Trinity's son killing his mother and Dexter travelling to see him. And I liked the Brother Sam thing, especially when Dexter drowned Nick. | ||

I'm pretty sure he is dead and is somehow manifested as a part of Colin Hanks' personality, not unlike Dexter's father. He has not addressed anyone besides Hanks directly, and when they were at the restaurant he did not even have a place setting in front of him. Just want to pat myself on the back a little. First one to call it over a month ago ^_^ | ||

Also that was a fucking disgusting death. Deb is starting to be annoying with her psychiatrist. I mean, it makes sense for her to finally talk about her problems but to have it all thrown at you at once is too much. Not sure why she suddenly feels her life is a wreck after she gets promoted. Weird shit. I can't believe it's Matthews that was with that hooker. Pretty pathetic overall. Dexter being confused about chairs and tables was hilarious. He looked so perplexed. Other thought, I'm disappointed with Anderson. I really thought he would be an important character but he feels like a side-side character so far. Intern guy going to kill Batista's sister... or he's just a weird dude, who knows. I really hate that he has the hand. I hope he didn't just randomly see it online and buy it or that there's a conspiracy going on with the intern chick. I hope it's more that when Masuka asked him, he got back the hand and kept it. Otherwise, it's getting very convoluted. No surprise with Geller and Travis being the same person. I wonder if Dexter will feel bad when he kills Travis. Such as if he will kill him out of mercy or something like that. Also, Dexter being so careless this season is still bothering me. The whole walking around in the university at night is just one more thing to add to the list. Then, there's the fact that he has barely worked at all it seems this year. In the first season, when he was chasing Brian, he was still doing his normal job too. It made more sense. Now, he's just focused 100% on hunting killers it seems. Hell, he even had that storyline with Sam to go along with it, meaning less work time as well. I kind of hope Travis kills Dexter here... I mean, it's sad that Dexter has gone so far that he couldn't recognize Travis as the killer for so long or at least watch him more carefully. The writing staff seems to assume we will just be OK with that. Really sad. End Dexter! | ||

You'll even get an extra hour of your life which you can spend complaining about other stuff on internet forums! Win win :D (you're a funny guy if you consider this some kind of negative response... Its just logic) Stop watching? Tell a heroine addict to just stop shooting heroine up his veins. He probably realizes that its not good for him but he'll have to do it anyway, but in the case of "Dexter" the heroine turns out to be more like Croc. This season is so bad, boring and predictable. | ||

I'm curious if Masuka's current intern is a serial killer as well. Perhaps he admires the work of some of the previous big names? Or maybe a bigger and bolder prediction would be that the current intern was manipulated by the current one or worked together with him. I'm thinking of two possibilities, either they're a tag team serial killer team. Or maybe they've been planted by a higher agency who suspects that a serial killer is in miami pd. The major of big time killers in miami have disappeared time and time again and a miami police officer or forensics person is in a good position to track them down before the rest of the force catches up. The special forces of the army could've cleared Doake's (Surprise Mothafucka!) name but instead of alerting the miami department that they were being investigated again, they could've slipped in some undercover agents through Masuka's internship. It's also possible that FBI agent Luddy may have said something on his tape that he had suspicions about Dexter. Dexter only grabbed the Trinity evidence so maybe there was something else about him among Luddy's tapes. I'm thinking this interns are really planted by FBI is a great way to wrap up the series, but it wouldn't make sense that the intern would have the prosthetic arm as decor in his apartment if this were the case. Maybe someone can improve or expand on these theories. I feel my theories are really weak, but nobody else is offering up anything better. Get your theorycrafting hats on people! Who is/are Masuka's intern(s)? Undercover agents who are searching for the bay harbor butcher in a reopened case? A Serial killer who admires the predecessors? Or is/are the intern(s) just innocent holding onto a passion for serial killers and buttering up to Dexter... | ||

I was thinking of doing so when the show is over for good. | ||

I really liked the ITK hand in the nerds apartment. I didn't see that coming. Let's hope that they don't mess up that storyline.  | ||

Although I have to admit that it was a post on TL that made me realize some episodes ago. I don't know if I would've figured it out alone. But I guess I'll never know in this universe | ||

Logic isn't ALWAYS part of this show. Dexter isn't going to be killed, considering they renewed the show for 3 years iirc. It helps when your sister-in-law is the Lieutenant aka your boss. Also, they only have so much air time. Since they're actually giving us the perspective of what the main villain(s) are doing/thinking/planning, they have to cut some things. Frankly, I'd rather see Dexter out and about planning his own murders rather than some little stunt at his work.

Hes seeing and imagining all these events and occurrences that have to do with Gellar. I originally thought he had multiple-personalities, but schizophrenia is a possibility. | ||

Especially given the fact that schizophrenia is real and MPD is a Hollywood invention. I enjoyed this season, and am still enjoying it, except I don't really like how long the Gellar thing was telegraphed. I was beginning to feel like Dexter's a complete idiot for not being suspicious, and walking down into that trap door just sealed the deal for me. Another low point of this episode was the terrible technobabble. "I can find the Internet Protocol Address of the blog, yo."  | ||

I don't think an actual FBI/whatever agent would keep the prosthetic hand in his apartment. I think the guy is an amateur with a ton of money who likes to think he's a brilliant detective. Doing "research" for a game sounds awfully far fetched at this point. Blonde was definitely working with him, but I think only as a hireling. So yeah, he's either an amateur sleuth or a wealthy serial killer who tracks down other serial killers, does a copycat murder and then gets them caught, giving himself the perfect cover (this is just me pulling things out of my ass). | ||

Sounds a lot like the plot to "Condemned" in wich a serial killer goes around tracking other serial killers and then killing them by their "style" so that the cops end up thinking they are just a victim. | ||

Anyone else realise now this elliot-hand thing is confirmed, the fact that Dexter's using his search engine is ridiculously dangerous? He will have access to everything Dex does. Add to that the psych seems really interested in the Dexter relationship, she could very well be smelling something fishy, Then theres laguerta, and the new detective we know nothing about... So many crazy plotlines developing, Im afraid we wont see them fully develop until next season. Anyone who says this season is boring and predictable is missing A LOT! (and probably just bitter they were wrong about geller) The thing is it only seems like crazy plots and confrontations are building up while most of them will probably going absolutely no where. The intern thing is probably going to be nothing. This captain Mathews thing is completely meaningless regardless of if they try to turn it into something. Chances are it results with deb getting demoted for never catching DDK because Dexter kills him and they promote Batista then get him to re-close the case. That is literally going no where. The intern thing *MIGHT* be going somewhere, but I doubt it. The Trinity shit is probably never going to come up again so that entire episode with his son was worthless. So the only plotline I see going anywhere is the final confrontation between Travis and Dexter which I can't see any build up for what it could mean. I also don't think the therapist plotline is going anywhere. I doubt she is going to realize Dexter is a serial killer based off the given information. Most of this is going to be just about as disappointing as when Deb found out who Dexter's biological mother/brother were. She literally never mentioned it for a season and just mentioned it to Dexter this season as an off hand comment. They didn't even use it as a plot device for her to realize he might be a serial killer. They could of perfectly implemented that into season 5 during the failed final confrontation but they never did. /rant | ||
