the quinn/liddy stuff is all sub-plot and can be swept under a rug with no real consequences. but deb is looking for jordan chase, jordan chase has lumen, and dexter is going to have a lot of explaining to do.
speaking of subplot, i feel like the nanny had way too much screen time this season to just be a non-factor, but with just 1 episode left it doesn't seem like anything will happen with her anymore.
also im anticipating some bad news at harrison's birthday party causing a season finale cliffhanger. edit: nevermind about the birthday party thing. i just watched the extended previews for the finale and saw why harrison's birthday was brought up.

Oh man, that was a pretty epic episode. I still don't know how they manage to fit all that story into one episode. I feel like everytime I watch an episode there are far too many things to settle for the amount of episodes that are left. Yet, somehow, they manage to squeeze things together.

They'll both know a secret about the other but will be in each other's debt, never mentioning it again. I would feel pretty bad if Quinn got hanged for Liddy. I'm hoping that this theory is true. It would be a little sappy, but Quinn has really grown on me. And he's good for Deb.

Deb needs a happy ending for once so Quinn better not go down for Libby. If the police finger Quinn then Quinn fingers Dexter and Deb gets mad at Quinn for hiring Libby. So it's really looking bad for any happy ending there if they follow that story all the way out.

That was a really cool episode, I just didn't like the whole blood drip on the shoe thing, seemed really contrived (like they needed to alert Quinn later that something was up at the van or they needed a way to incriminate Quinn in the murder so they just wrote "and he happens to stand in the exact right spot where a drop of blood falls on his shoe"). Also it was pretty strange that Liddy didn't mention Dexter at all in his conversations with Quinn so that Dexter could kill him and it wouldn't be immediately obvious to Quinn what happened.

they aren't substantial, just a couple of clips from the episode with no real spoilers: http://www.sho.com/site/video/brightcove/series/title.do?bcpid=14033850001
funny how they have another 1 on 1 phone call, but it's nowhere near as good as last season's: http://www.sho.com/site/video/brightcove/series/title.do?bcpid=14033850001&bclid=52256165001 he was such a good villian =|

I'm fairly sure Quinn's fucked regardless of the blood. Some of the equipment Liddy was using will still be there, and they'll find it was signed out under Quinn's name.
Actually going to miss Liddy a whole lot, he was a pretty damn cool character

My season finale prediction: + Show Spoiler +Quinn notices the blood on his shoe, figures out what happened to Liddy, but hooks up with Deb and doesn't care anymore. At the end he destroys the photographs and (symbolically) wipes the blood stain off his shoe. I don't believe the blood will be a plot point, I believe it's there to generate suspense and anticipation

+ Show Spoiler +Even though there was really big potential for a great finale I'm pretty sure that Quinn will be implcated by the blood drop on his shoe and he will goto jail for it, this is not the most satisfying ending for the series but there is a valid reason for it. Dexter was renewed for a 6th season and Quinn can hardly be kept on the show knowing about Dexter and Lumin's connections and activity. It wouldnt surprise me if the police never even connect Lumin to Chase and the murders so that she can freely interact with Debb and the others next season as Dexters legit GF.

Regarding Quinn, the look eh gave Dexter in the preview just makes it seem like Dexter is trying to manipulate evidence to point at someone else then him. It just seemed like in the conversation with Debra he felt that Debra needs Quinn, while Dexter himself is not the person she can rely on, as far as truth is concerned(in the previous seasons he thought about what would happen to Debra/Rita family if he gets caught on multiple occasions).
Regarding how much Dexter seasons are left, i always thought there is at least 6th. Fifth was obviously(imo) not the last. The villain wasn't great enough, the acts villain committed didnt have enough grandeur, and the personal relationships werent culminated before the finale. The kids were "dumped" and while at first i figured it was just bad writing it became clear later that they were just putting that issue off. I feel like Dexter has 1 maybe two real seasons left(2 only because the writers have proven they have the juice to get going, personally i cant imagine enough for two seasons), but they always can put an "off" season in between(a la season 3). And i hope thats what they'd do(if they have to) because i'd rather see a shitty season proceed a really great one then great seasons run into kill of the week type series that is just milking money.
Also i feel like now a different ending is possible for Dexter. I felt like before Lumen was tehre the only options to end it were him dead or jailed(mostly dead i guess because jailed dexter just doesnt have enough closure to it). Now i feel like him moving somewhere and having a (relatively) happy ending is something the writers can make work.<-unrleated mutually exclusive thoughts(imo)-> I think having a 'wife' that helps him hide his deeds, if written well, can open a really interesting part of this psychological drama.
But i also wouldn't put much stock in the supposedly signed contract for season 6. I have absolutely no doubt that when the real last season comes around they will have a contract for another extension that will be bogus.

They have been building towards it for a while, and if she finds that Lumen is the vigilante she will likely forgive her because of what she's been through and what Jordan and his posse deserved. Its also possible that If she does find out, she will want Lumen to leave town, which would be one way of writing her out of the show. If she learns about Dexter though, I can't imagine him telling her everything including the Bay Harbor Butcher thing, cause I don't see her forgiving him for framing Doakes (who was a good cop). The dynamic is different from the novels.

A lot of contrived stuff in this episode. I hope Lumen dies (she won't) and Quinn finds out about Dexter. Regardless of what happens in the finale I rank this season as the worst yet.
|
ah sheeettt I can't wait for next week.
edit: I enjoyed seeing dexter tied up and not in control. Although temporary, I liked it when things don't go as plan.

this episode was awesome. I cant believe the next episode is the season finally... is there another season confirmed?
