Maybe the fireman killer guy will carry over into next season? Eh, doesn't really seem like a formidable opponent. Then again, neither did DDK, so who knows. | ||

Did anyone else get a sense of awkwardness in the last scene between Hannah and Dexter, she seemed put off by what he was saying >.> | ||

Yea its off that she acted that way but like she's the one that wanted him to open up in the opening scene and said "I miss you" and now shes all like wtf???? Just a bit weird. And I would avoid watching the next episode previews and recaps (previously on Dexter), it spoils way too much from what I've seen. Even the previously on Dexter stuff shows scenes from like other seasons so you can kind of tell what storylines/characters will show up. | ||

1. Dexter knows that Miguel killed the female defense attorney and agrees with LaGuerta to hide the truth in order to preserve Miguel's image since he is dead. 2. Doaks sort of kills for justice, and LaGuerta at some level was ok with it (droped further investigation agaisnt doaks in season 1 after she confronted him and he sort of admitted everything), this can potentially make LaGuerta's judement on Dexter very...interesting. Things she dont know: ... 52. Dexter saved her from Miguel. (This can matter since writters for dexter actually do like to bring up previous season's stuff for the sake of continuity) 53. Doaks was killed by Lylla(pardon the spelling...), which even Dexter have not told Deborah (yet) | ||

She needs matthews to go a long because hey, shes gonna be dead as a doornail in the finale. The interesting part out of all of this is she will be forever beholden towards protecting the memory of doakes whereas matthews swore to always protect Harry's legacy (his kids deb and dex)Additionally, she cared for doakes much more that she does about dexter saving her which I'm quite sure the writers have forgotten/ignoring. Additionally Debra seems to have completely forgotten that anyone named Doakes was ever alive, she especially never had a partner named doakes that she looked up to for guidance for two seasons. | ||

(or maybe they are really ignorant which wouldnt surprise me from the quality of season 5&6...seriously that anti climatic season finale to season 5 after all that build up haha poor Jordan Chase) | ||

(or maybe they are really ignorant which wouldnt surprise me from the quality of season 5&6...seriously that anti climatic season finale to season 5 after all that build up haha poor Jordan Chase) IIRC the original plan was that the series would end by the 5th possibly 6th season. Which honestly would have made a lot more sense, one of the biggest difficulties by the writers was handling the post season 4 world. As a series they strongly relied on really a formulaic system have having a major investigation that linked Dexter to an ultimate bad guy kill at the end of the season. Often a series of smaller kills were done to link a small parallel subplot and allow some minor character development. The problem was they hired Lithgow, who spent years and years refining his craft not only in movies but in the theatre as an actual actor. He delivered such a powerful effect to the show that literally destroyed the stage for the next guy. When dexter returned and there was much more talk about continuing the series well beyond the original lifespan the writers tried to follow the formula again but the season was ultimately very hollow. Chase's actor wasn't bad per se but the act he was following light years ahead and the script stunted to prevent a premature ending to the series. He was doomed from the beginning. Season 6 tried again harder this time by bringing bigger named actors and the son of one. While it didn't stutter we were left a rather odd cliff hanger/twist at the end that is expected to help propel us to the end of the series. (deb in love subplot) One of the real problems with season 7 is that the writers have tried to deviate from their formula with the twisting of Hannah/Isaak to downplay the role of having a big bag guy season finale. While i can appreciate them trying somethign new the problem incurred is that without a major investigation we've basically forgotten about the police force because now they have little reason to have dex at work other than to use the coffee machine and the high speed internet there. | ||

I also saw some dissonance between Hannah and Dexter in the preview, but then again it's just a preview and is meant to stir up the prediction machine. And yeah, I think the Doakes thing has bugged me too. Part of it is probably the sheer amount of questions Debra would have for Dexter, and what amount of time they can spend on all of it. | ||

I do agree that this at least makes the format less predictable for how the season will end though. Perhaps the season ends with Dexter getting busted o.o | ||

It's just annoying that every season almost there's this new love interest, first it's crazy chick lila, then it's normal rita, whom I actually liked, but also found it fitting for her to die, then it's Lumen, and wow now it's Hannah that strolls along! And each and every one either sees him for what he is, or nurtures his good sides or whatever..It's getting old! I mean even Miguel fits that role..sorta. You'd think they'd be done with that... I'd like if they just took it all out and had it end on Deb+Dex, just cause it's never really been done before, it's great with a lil bit of controversy, instead of the clichè serial killer meets serial killer..who'd imagine. | ||

I think Tom will be the one saving Dexter from LaGuerta. He is the Morgans' 'dad' since their real dad died, he has always been keeping a caring eye on the Morgans. That is why (imo) he gos to see LaGuerta again , so he can make sure Dexter isnt in trouble. Furthermore, I think it will come out that Tom knows Dexter is a trained killer, I think Tom knew that Dexters' dad was training him to be a killer. | ||

I agree, I actually hope them to take this direction instead of completely ignoring Tom's promise to Morgans' father and just helps LaGuerta out of getting his career back.(which is very likely to happen lol) | ||

I agree, but it is normal behaviour that you are interested in having a romantic relationship. And it is also quite normal to have many partners during a lifetime, so I dont really mind that Dexter is exploring his love interests. Hannah is quite an interesting character imo, lots of contradictions. Dont know know quite what to expect so I think there will be a big surprise by the end of this season regarding her. She seems passive aggressive manipulator to me , evidenced by the way she killed Jurg. I also think her character is stone cold inside, that is why when Dexter shows emotion at the end, she finds it 'weird'. I think this episode is the beginning of the end of Dexter and Hannah. | ||
