Not sure if they're really setting him up to take over. Also, Anderson, wtf. Character still hasn't done a goddamn thing all season. | ||

Ooh and all the buddy-cop-comedy stuff with Batista and Quinn was all of such huge importance? Im not sure if it's going to come back as anything serious. I would hope so but i just don't know. It feels so completly detached from Dexter. Maybe the guy is a serial killer and Dexter finds out/tracks/kills him in the last couple of episodes as a cherry on top of the "big bad". It's disturbing that i care more for the hand plot then the Travis plot. | ||

I still feel like there's been less Quinn/Batista bullshit than there's been spent on setting up whatever this sideplot is. and I dunno, I feel like there's going to be some sort of consequence at the end of the Quinn/Batista story arch, but who knows? | ||

No way. They wouldnt highlight something like that just to blow it off as not important. There is something big and i think its 99% likely he is a killer. | ||

Though oddly enough, this episode balanced out as it included both the "geez didn't see that coming -.-" moment with Geller, and the "wtf is going on" moment with the ice truck killer hand. | ||

Yea I think this will lead to something. Hes probably studying dexter hard and since hes so analytical / capable he might found out dexters secret and be his rival end of season or next, idk! Certaintly would be nice to have two smarties going at each other for once. And as many have said, the minor hand sub plot is alot more interesting then the geller crap thats going on. | ||

They were talking about one of the murder victims I think? Didn't catch all of it because of my roommate. | ||

Good script writing means not creating such a predictable plot to begin with. Thus a good script writer would not have taken this turn for the horrible. A good driver can't steer a car back onto a cliff but a good driver will not drive off the cliff to begin with. | ||

Didn't catch all of it because of my roommate. A prostitute was found dead - drug overdose seems pretty open and shut. But Dexter examines the body and determines that someone tried to give her CPR, but she died anyway (it wasn't the paramedics). It's revealed that 'that other guy' is the Chief Deputy (he was the captain in earlier seasons) and he was actually the one who was with the prostitute and tried to give her CPR. LaGuerta puts pressure on Debra to close the case, saying the case is unimportant compared to Doomsday, and having another unsolved case is bad. Debra reluctantly agrees, but a family member confronts her and asks her to reopen the case because of the evidence that CPR was given, so someone else was there and it may not have been the drug overdose after all. So basically the chief is in the shit and LaGuerta is trying to help him out, since obviously a high ranking police officer can't be seen to be sleeping with prostitutes. | ||

LaGuerta is just a horrible blackmailer who not only gives up her blackmail material before getting her end of the deal, but she also apparently goes back and helps the guy that fucked her over. | ||

Besides, I'm not even sure they were in charge of setting the main plot for the season. And LOL at that analogy, comparing a sub-par plot with a car falling off a cliff. | ||

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 That's a fair call. I disagree with a few things though, I still don't think the Trinity episode was useless, it highlighted that Dexter is not that different from Travis (but also very different at the same time, considering dexter re-found "the light." *sigh*). I'm pretty certain the Elliot thing is going somewhere, he's too smart, and knows way too much. He's also got that bad guy vibe that Batista is picking up on. You're probably right about the therapist, but if the writers want to they could open it up and have her meet Dexter or something. But hey, we're all entitled to our opinions and I don't think mine is any more correct than yours. I do think you're 100% right about that last paragraph though, it really is annoying how they have built up plot lines to be so important during a season, then in the next they just disregard it almost entirely. But that's just television really, they need to keep Dexter going. And I guess the best way to do that is to do a soft reset at the end of each season. It's all about the money at the end of the day, Lost anyone? | ||

As much as his sideplot is interesting, his character is goddamn annoying."Hey i'll erase everything off the internet with my alienware because i'm a genius.Also i am both a coroner, a rich video game developper, and a serial killer". Feels like those '80s shows-at least in france-where there had to be a black/gangsta guy. Each time he's all gangsta and heroic and talks like he's in the hood, yo. Except now it's a nerd. | ||
