We finally get the reveal! 2 in one episode no less.
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 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?
This isn't just television. Its terrible writing really. Breaking bad is actually an interesting show with good writing. Dexter is terible. This is gonna be the last season I am watching Dexter, as it has just become a huge waste of time.

so why did dexter go down there? there was a table on top of that entrance to the basement or whatever u wanna call it. how is gellar supposed to go down there and move the table on top of that?
and if he isnt down there he just could lock him down there like travis will do? it feels kinda dumb.
It's just a strange plothole. You'll see next episode debra discovers the church and they go there while dexter is still locked up in the basement to create the "omg he's gonna get caught" tension. They wanted to write it so badly this time they made it way too obvious : (

only 3 episodes left and so many open storylines/questions (as usual lol):
- the Quinn Batista plotline
- dead hooker/ debra reopening the investigation
- the debra at psychiatrist/ debra beeing even more annoying then usual plot
- travis serial killer plotline
- the new intern / ice truck killer and dexter admirer
By looking at the endings of the past seasons we can derive that the plotlines will be (mostly) closed by/in the last episode and Dexter will have some kind of revelation. But there is also a huge possibility that one plotline will only have small progress and hint to the new season.
here some (partly) wild guesses from my side:
-plotline 1,2,3 are conncted. debra will most likely get demoted/ fired for not beeing mentally stable enough to lead the department (freakout at the crime scene in the next episode). they also showed us in the last episodes what a miserable moron quinn is after deb broke up. debra will "brake her pattern" by going into a more serious relationship with quinn (we always have something "happy" happening in the ending although that hasn't to be the main mood). Quinn and Deb will be back to normal. The hooker case will be dropped.
-plotline 4 / travis plotline will be rather unspectacular. dexter will escape the church and get him in the end.
-which leaves us with the intern tech geek (forgot his name). i think we can be sure this guy isn't as innocent as he gives himself. some suggested he might be connected with the fbi but imo he has more likely a plan on his own. he wouldn't leave the ice truck killer's hand as a trophy in his fucking living room if he works for anybody half way serious. he also expressed admiration for dexter's work on multiple occasions, which makes me think he knows something about the real dexter. maybe another brother?

I actually believe that the intern plotline will not be resolved in this season, and they're saving it for the big inter-season cliffhanger. It's possible that he'll be the focus of next season, a new killer or maybe just somebody who wants to get closer to Dexter.
Didn't surprise me at all that he had the hand though, he's obviously way infatuated with this field, and he was right there looking at the auction on his computer screen. You know what would be really cool though?
+ Show Spoiler +If it turned out he tracked down the winning bidder/the blonde girl and killed them to get the hand.
I don't really think he's a killer though, he seems a little too much of a pussy for that.

I tend to lower my standards to enjoy a lot of media lately. It's too difficult to thoroughly enjoy stuff with such a critical mindset. I watched this last episode and for the most part enjoyed it. Naturally, the show is going to get worse as it goes on past 5++ seasons.
Everytime I come to visit this thread after an episode, I tend to regret because it points out all the negative aspects. 
I'm moreso just hellbent on trying to enjoy this show and The Walking Dead, just because there's nothing else out there right now on TV that's remotely interesting to me.

Theres so much emphasis on Dexter wanting to "get rid of his dad" and be a better father and so on. I wonder if the intern is an admirer of Dexters "work", and will end up catching him, and wanting to be mentored by him. This will force Dexter to continue on his current path, instead of finding the "light". He would either have to break his code and kill him for what he knows, or take on the responsibility of mentoring him.
Just a guess though.

Then watch it in English, its better anyway. If you have trouble with the language, just download subtitles. Also helps with learning the language.

Am I the only one who thinks Debra's time at the psychiatrist will backfire on her? Like LaGuerta using it against her to get her to back off from the dead hooker case or just get her demoted.

you guys from TL are so good... predicted it all along.
now i wonder how dexter will kill gellar while the police are there... this is going to be very interesting! i can't wait!

whenever she's talking to the psychiatrist, a have a feeling that the psychiatrist will tell her that "you're brother is a serial killer"

Who else thinks the two interns are working together? I think they're on Dexter's trail!

I figured they would have tried to stretch the Gellar thing a bit longer, even though it seemed pretty obvious to me that Dexter knew or should have known about Travis, since he kept referring to his "dark passenger" so much.

I have a question people of TL,
I have never watched Dexter in my life yet reading all the hype and good things I am interested. I am wondering, whats so special and unique about this? Is the story and quality as good as shows such as LOST or Prison Break?
Thanks guys

For me, I really like the characters in a series / movie and its progression.
Dexter nails it. The main character and its sister gets more and more interesting every season.
Of course, the concept is unique and the story is really well told. It's not like any other crime / police story, so it adds up to its amazingness.
You should watch the first season or read the first book if you ever find some free time. I'm sure you'll get stuck at it.

My brother and I also had it figured out a few weeks ago. Glad to see we weren't the only one
