I googled this but can't find anything. Is this related to real life or part of the episode? Part of the episode. Dexter some files from an author's computer, and the previous poster is commenting on the fact that scenario is unrealistic because any professional writer would have at least one backup. He neglects to mention that this problem solved itself later in the episode.
He also neglects to mention that it's happened to various artists and writers....
Skrillex lost 6 months of work due to his labtop being stolen and no backups to be found. It's harsh and foolish, but it happens all the time.

I work at an electronics store and often times receive complaints about faulty computers. You'd be shocked to see how many people don't even think about backing their shit up.

The spoiler-ed section contains thoughts about the next episode's preview
+ Show Spoiler +So LaGuerta is shown talking to Matthews about the resurgence of the Bay Harbor Butcher. I feel like Matthews will dismiss her even faster than Debra did, but if she tells Matthews she thinks it is Dexter before Matthews tells her to fuck off, that does a LOT. Because that means if (when, honestly) she dies, Matthews will have to reconsider what she had said. It's actually possible that Matthews could appear for more than 5 minutes in a season of Dexter if that happened to start Season 8.

Well, he killed the hitman after Sirko in a swift moment. I know it's different with Laguerta, but still, if the moment comes where it's kill or get caught/killed, I don't think Dexter will flinch. Laguerta didn't do anything wrong like a hitman would. In addition, that guy shot at Dexter and was pretty hostile to him. Like I said, I know it's different, but he WILL kill Laguerta if it comes down to it as the very last resort. First rule, don't get caught, overrides the second one, never kill an innocent. If you think Dexter will kill someone innocent just to protect his identity I think you've been watching a different show. Hes already killed an innocent person just to make himself feel better...am I the only one that remembers the redneck he bludgeoned to death?
Tbh, I'm 90% sure the writers forgot about it, lol. That would be a huge point of contention for Debra if she knew (well, it would have been).
Speaking of things forgotten though, I'm very disappointed that Debra and Dexter still haven't talked about Doakes (at least onscreen).

Dexter was indirectly responsible for the death of Doakes too.

Maybe the writers and Dexter assume that guy to not be innocent based on his looks and shady location, haha.

Dexter had to do something about Doakes if Lila didn't kill him. Imprisonment for life is really horrific too.
/edit
Would be awesome if Lila didn't kill Doakes. Doakes gets Stockholme syndrome and makes angry love with Dexter wrapped in plastic.

Didn't Dexter kill an innocent man? He acted like as if nothing happened after his fuck up.

Centrally powered crime groups rarely have top leader coups from the inside. It makes more sense if they've ran the operation as sort of a joint partnership/coucil ran group which is what I felt the writers intended. Unless hes just an upper middle manager for the group.
I had pretty mixed feelings about the episode, I liked the bar scene except for two things. First, the hes gay revelation was kinda boring I wish they had been more clever about developing that bit since it had just been beaten over your head since Isaacs first episode. Secondly theres the whole we could have been friends line that left me cringing, that cliche line needs to die.
Though to be fair not much from this season has been that original.
"Not necessarily the fault of the writers but probably just a mis communication with the prop guys. Centrally powered crime groups rarely have top leader coups from the inside." Naturally you know this from the may top leaders of world wide mafias that you've known and the honest answers they've given you about such occurrences. *facepalm*
As for the "cliche" if you want to call it that lol - I don't think it needed to be said that the two are quite a bit alike and all in all I enjoyed the scene more because he said it. Meh. Great season IMO.

the new season is awesome
and Jamie is too^^

He did kill two innocent people that I can recall.
The fourth season he killed that creepy art director because he thought he was killing all of his models, when it was really the assistant or whatever. I chalk it up to his obsession with Trinity, but either way, he did mess up there.
The other one in the beginning of the fifth season he killed that dickhead in the boat shop with an anchor. Once again, I chalk it up to emotional distress and since Dexter is very dangerous to deal with with or without emotions, he snapped and killed the asshole, even if he was innocent.
EIther way, Dexter wasn't in his right state of mind with both of those events. At least with Doakes he had a mostly clear head and wasn't caught up in a heat of the moment type event. Not to mention Laguerta and Dexter were decently close for the overall view of the series. No way he would simply kill her.

OK, I'm just going to leave this here to contemplate on. It took me the latter half of the episode but Astrid reminded me of someone. I finally figured out who it was, + Show Spoiler +.
edit: oh and Isaac's comment about "and what if she was [a killer]?" Yvonne is so gonna die

Sure this one finally had some plot development, but it was kind of lame. + Show Spoiler +I don't like him and Isaac working together, Isaac's death was anticlimactic and very cliche, and fuck why is Hanna still alive I can't stand her.

gotta admit, i liked isaac's character except for the gay part. he'll be missed. I can only hope deb kills laguerta :D

Probably one of my favorite episodes of Dexter and I can't fathom why people disliked the interactions between Isaac and Dexter nor can I understand why people dislike Hannah. Fuck I was going to be soooooooooooo pissed if she died, might have stopped watching the show to be honest.
But I don't have to understand why haters gotta hate because I'm too busy enjoying the fuck out of this season.
|
Why couldn't Miguel have been Isaac. Such a shame to end it so soon.
|
interesting that they are introducing a serial killer (fire guy) this late into the season
is he just a random pop up or does he have a connection to dexter... with 3 episodes left, dexter going after that guy will tie into laguerta somehow
the home stretch to the finale looks promising... i hope its good
