Dexter on SHO or TMN [Archive]

Last night's 'An Inconvenient Lie' was the best episode of Season 2 yet ..

I am loving this new character Lila! Wonder if Dexter will end up putting her down .. or if she has anything going on in her life besides attending NA meetings. When Dex was up there confessing his sins (somewhat) near the end, I thought that was some of the best writing and acting yet. I was totally gripped.

Dexter's world is unravelling. He *is* connected. See how he plunged the knife into that car salesman after he called his girlfriend a C U Next Tuesday?

And Doakes .. that left me perplexed. He said he knew that Dexter was connected to the Ice Truck Killer ... then he's satisfied that he's just an addict and that explains away the sly behaviour? That storyline isn't over yet ...

Someone on another message board came up with a good theory that Maria was seeing Pascal's fiance .. but I don't see that at all. Not yet anyway. Thoughts?

dexter is cool...a serial killer killer...finally a tv show with a truly unique character and story...originalty in tv and movies is so rare nowadays...

I am totally addicted to Dexter. I love the little smirk smile, the total devotion to his mission of offing the bad guys. With the stalking that Doakes is doing these days it is hard to decide who is the bigger psychopath. The writing is superb. I haven't rooted for a villian since "Tony Soprano and tha boys" last graced the tube.

I caught season one on DVD and it's got this quirky twisted appeal. It really reminds me of American Psycho. It's probably not on my top pick of shows, but it does provide some good entertainment.

We like Dexter a lot, more twists and turns in the writing keeps you on your toes.

Kinda feel icky liking a serial killer though ... lol ...

Lynnifer, it's that little smirk he has.......sort of like he is letting you in on his secret, which is downright seductive, despite his serial killer status.

That was probably one of the best episodes ever. Finally another "Dark Passenger". It will be very interesting to see how that story unfolds. I'm wondering if Lila has killed people in the past, what kind of measures has she taken not to get caught. She could be a nice devilish playmate for soulless Dexter . I'm just hoping her past doesn't come back and drag Dexter down with her.

Since she wasn't raised with the code of Harry I can easily see how she could pick up victims from NA meetings and do them in with drugs. An overdosed addict probably wouldn't raise too much suspicion.

About the car salesman, what other movies has he played in? I know I've seen him before but I can't think of where.

lynnifer

10-17-2007, 05:03 PM

I declare right now that she has something to do with Dexter's mother being killed (like it was her dad or some relative) .. just a coincidence .. let's see how this plays out and if I'm right!

lynnifer

10-23-2007, 10:26 PM

I am really liking this new character Lila! Good episode this week ... loved the part where Dexter met Rita's mother at the dinner table and pretended she was an alien.

10-24-2007, 07:19 AM

Someone on another message board came up with a good theory that Maria was seeing Pascal's fiance .. but I don't see that at all. Not yet anyway. Thoughts? I guess he/she was right. Interesting...
I am really liking this new character Lila! Me too. Interesting artwork in her studio.

What was the significance of Doakes killing that man on the boat?
The mother has pretty good intuition when she warns Rita about Dexter hiding something. If they only knew...

lynnifer

10-24-2007, 08:06 AM

I'm not sure .. but I had thought Doakes was going to let that man go. Hmmm ... guess he's not as dirty as I thought he was. I know they're shying away from what the books have, but in some places they're following that line of story. By the way, hope I'm never 'Mozambiqued!'

lynn, you have to add "spoiler alert!!" to the title of this thread!

lynnifer

10-30-2007, 08:15 PM

I thought for sure Dex was going to take out the man who chain-sawed his mother!

Who thinks he'll go back and finish the job... ? He's getting careless and leaving loose ends.

And what's up with Lila - see Dexter's face when she admitted to killing her boyfriend by burning the house down - and the red colouring of blood on the 'cottage porn' picture?

This is getting good ... who thinks last season was better than this one or vice versa?

doingtimeonmyass

10-31-2007, 10:40 AM

For sure this one is better. A couple of things I thought were strange last year was how Dexter never caught on at his sister's boyfriend was the killer. If he is supposed to be a big bad serial killer, that would be obvious to him. Secondly in the last episode when the cops came across Rudy's body and automatically called it a suicide. Wasn't he strapped down to a table? If you can slit your throat without using your hands, I'd like to see that!

I can't believe Dexter is going to let his mother's murder live. Somehow an ass beating and telling the guy how he's affected his life just doesn't seem to fit the crime. When he was in the bar beating him up I was thinking about all the DNA evidence being left at the crime scene (especially when he spit on him).

How long do you think it will be before Deborah ends up having sex with the FBI agent? Or is he simply a mentor to her? Either way there is some chemistry there between them.

As the season progresses I am liking the lieutenant less and Doakes a whole lot more.

I was wondering about that. Using luminal and a black light to clean your boat does seem a bit extreme. Then again he is a clean freak and a blood splatter expert. He could argue he's obsessive-compulsive and trying to get rid of any fish blood although it does seem a stretch. It will be interesting to see what happens if his actions were caught on surveillance cameras.

11-06-2007, 12:45 AM

I am liking Lila and Dex together .. but poor Rita! I thought Lundy was suspicious of Dex, until he said he couldn't take another 'titty joke' from Masuka! I've seen previews for next week's episode ... Doakes is back after Dexter. This is getting good. Dex is changing soooo much!!!

11-12-2007, 09:32 AM

Lila is even stranger than Dexter, if that is possible. I do feel badly for Rita, but she is such milk toast for someone like Dexter, and while I think he did care about her, she mostly served as a normalizing external feature to make Dexter seem to fit into a world in which he clearly feels alien. Am I the only one whose rage at Harry is growing by leaps and bounds? Turns out his altruism in taking Dex in was motivated by less benevolent reasons, (which explains why his brother was left to fend for himself as a child) and he certainly took an innocent boy and transformed him into a psychopath with is "code of Harry." Doakes is just plain creepy, and I am beginning to wonder how much longer Dexter can afford to let him live. Now that Doakes has killed he just might fit the qualifications as a future victim, and he certainly is pushing Dexter in that direction.
I don't think Harry turned him into a psychopath, but used his set of rules to protect Dexter. He must have noticed Dexter's behavior growing up and realized it was something he could not change.

Doakes doesn't yet meet the criteria for Dexter's Rosewood box. So far he has killed in self-defense. That was awesome the way Dexter got Doakes off his ass, however now that he is on administrative leave, he has all the time in the world to get back at Dexter.

I do have sympathy for Rita. She was a good accessory to make him appear normal and blend in with society. They are a good-looking couple. Lila on the other hand comforts yet controls Dexter. Nice touch with the Bay Harbor butcher manifest.

Dexter puzzles me with his sudden lust given he is not human and unable to have emotions. I think eventually Lila will threaten Rita and Dexter will have to protect her for the sake of the kids and his feelings for her. It's a similar story all over again. He must do away with the person who understands him for a life that rejects him. Being a serial killer can't be easy.

Lila is like heroin. It's probably fun to try, but extremely dangerous.

Eileen

11-12-2007, 10:21 AM

Doingtime,
I know the show portrays Harry as realizing that Dexter was different from other kids and somehow needed to be taught a code to channel his impulses, but while it makes for a great show, in real life I would like to think that someone in a caretaking role would have the decency to take the very young Dexter to a child shrink, realizing that he is suffering from unbelieveable trauma, dissociation, and PTSD. He was only three when he saw both parents butchered and then lived with the dead bodies for a few days, drenched in their blood. With help a child could have been steered in a different direction, and followed a path to healing instead of simply following "the code" that allows his psychopathy to play out in a more acceptable way.
Lila is so strange she makes Dex look like the normal one! She gives me the creeps, as does Doakes. You're right, now that Doakes has been put on leave heaven only knows what revenge he will plan for Dex. Doakes is so disturbing to me that if Dex took him out I would probably be applauding it, which is the reason the show is so appealing to me. It is so well written that I find myself rooting for the only one (Dexter) who is labelled a psycho, although the ones without the label I often find more diabolical.

Did you notice Dexter knows something isn't right with the fire? The light should have been wrecked if it was a real fire.

Dtoma... Dexter is coming back to humanity, hence the emotion... especiallywhen he killed that guy for insulting Rita.
Lila has certainly pushed Dexter further back to humanity, but Rita and kids was the true start, with showing him true love. I also think, Lila might be a Dexter canidate, with her "accidental" fires, remember her ex died in a fire she set.

lynnifer

11-13-2007, 07:35 PM

I had to watch this week's episode a day later because of work ... but ...

Regarding the light ... see I got something else out of that? I saw Dexter looking at the light and seeing that she had gotten it fixed ... as in she gets what she wants and will manipulate to get it. She knew that Dexter would be with Rita and the kids ...

Another thing. I don't get the title of this episode: That Night, a Forest Grew. Is it because Dexter is planting seeds with regard to the Bay Harbour Butcher case?

And Lundy. Lundy is going to catch him .. he's too close for comfort.

I just about crapped my pants when Dexter head-butted Doakes! "I own you." LOL!

There must be more to Gabriel too .. or was he a story-filler? lol I thought Lundy was the 'father-figure' to Debra!?

The family that plays together, stays together;)

Too me, dexters face showed he knew something was up.. He has also been suspicious of Lila for knowing him too well, say like another killer might.

lynnifer

11-19-2007, 01:28 PM

Lila .. calling Jimenez .. didn't see that one coming! Dexter's interview with Special Agent Lundy!?! Breaking into Rita's house!?!? DOAKES finding the blood slides!!! Anyone see the look on Debra's face when Lundy and Bautista confirmed it was someone within ... mark my words: SHE KNOWS. You gotta love some of the lines in this show .. "A gross, English titty vampire." LMAO!!!

The last ten minutes of this episode had me feeling like I had to pee I was so scared and tense! I can't wait for next week!!!

doingtimeonmyass

11-19-2007, 01:56 PM

My predictions:

1. Lila will threaten Rita and the kids so Dexter will kill her in the end.

2. Although Doakes is a huge threat to Dexter, Dexter still cannot kill him if he follows the code of Harry. Somehow I see Doakes taking the fall for the Bay Harbor Butcher with the glass slides as evidence.

I like the way Deborah pissed off Lila when she came looking for Dexter at the station.

Eileen

11-19-2007, 05:23 PM

For awhile there I thought a show would never get its hooks into me the way The Soprano's did, but wow oh wow, Dexter is one amazing show. The scene where Dexter tells Lila that if she doesn't leave him alone she "will see the monster" made my hairs stand on end!

JAYCUE

11-19-2007, 05:30 PM

They don't play the preview for next weeks show right after anymore, at least where I am. I caught it later on. It showed the slides in a ziploc on Lundy's desk with Lundy and Doakes standing there and Dexter walking into the office. I kind of see Doakes taking the fall as well. This series is definitely a winner.

Hey Jeff: Good write-up in the New York Post about Season 2 to catch you up:

http://www.nypost.com/seven/11252007/tv/killer_dexter_723388.htm?page=1

When the bodies pile up, the odds of capture increase proportionately, elevating levels of stress and anxiety, and resulting in acts of carelessness that serve only to make the beleaguered killer's situation more precarious.

Such are the circumstances afflicting Dexter Morgan, title character of Showtime's "Dexter," as the series broadcasts its ninth episode and begins the final third of its 12-episode second season.

It's been an eventful eight episodes so far with the normally asocial Dexter (Michael C. Hall) juggling two love interests - Rita (Julie Benz), the demure mother of two who had been his steady girlfriend, and Lila (Jaime Murray of AMC's "Hu$tle"), the willowy, unstable "sponsor" from Narcotics Anonymous who he met while attending NA meetings under false pretenses.

At the same time, Dexter's also trying to steer clear of suspicion as the FBI and the Miami police (for which he works as a forensics tech) investigate the multiple murders which he himself committed, following the discovery of the spot underwater where he submerged his victims.
It's a far cry from Season One, when all Dexter had to worry about ...

2jazzyjeff

11-25-2007, 05:25 PM

Eileen

11-26-2007, 05:18 PM

The phone rang ten or fifteen minutes before the show ended. I heard it ring and thought to myself "naw, not going to answer it, just let it ring." My heart was racing and just when it looked like Dex had had it, bingo, fate turns again. I have no idea how he is going to explain the gunshot wound to his thigh since he was supposed to be peacefully sleeping with his little cadre of guards outside the door, but it is killing me that I am leaving for Ireland on Friday and will miss the next episode!! Thank heavens for ON DEMAND, as I can catch up when I come back from Ireland, but this is NOT a good time to miss an episode.

Will Doakes go ala Texas Chainsaw? Wondering why he didn't just dump him while he was out in the boat. He'll use him for something...

12-04-2007, 08:15 PM

Well folks, what is it gonna be with only two episodes left? Will Dexter pin it all on Doaks and make it stick or will Dex get hung with it? I think Doaks will get hung with it but escape and Dex will help him (it's the Harry way).

I think Harry made Dexter into his own personal Justice dept and Dexter is realizing this. Dexter is having a hard time dealing with Harry committing suicide because he thinks he is responsible for Harry's death after catching Dexter butchering some known murderer that eluded justice due to q tchniality.

What's gonna happen to Lila? I surely wouldn't like to be her when the "Dark Passenger" comes calling.

Stay tuned it wiil likely get better!

Lila's gotta go.

ETA: Uh oh .. looks like the last two episodes were leaked online.

I have to agree old Doaks does add a valuabe character to the overall show. Maybe Doaks and Dex could partner up and be "Salt 'n' Pepper" serial killers:D .....NAH, never happen.

Lila's gotta go. She's a sick, twisted and dangerous person, not to mention outta control.

I think I will just wait for the shows to happen at the regularly schduled time.

I wonder who all is scheduled to go besides Doaks and Lila?

Thank you. :D My lips will be sealed. When you said in an earlier post, "Daddy Dexter", do you know something about a fourth book coming out? That would be awesome!

Yes on the fourth book ... I can't remember where I read it online.

I've watched the last two .. couldn't wait. All I can say is Holy $hit Batman! I need therapy now - an emotional roller coaster!

I devoured season 1 in two days (winter in Montreal means hibernation season) and am watching s2 ep2 as we speak. Each aspect of this guy (other than the serial killer part) hits closer and closer to home. His disconnect from the rest of the world, the way he 'fits in', the emotions and thought processes when he fails to fit in... the last episode he was standing on the ledge of a building, wanting to feel alive... I could relate, as I imagine alot of us who've felt the adrenaline rush of a major trauma have.

WHY CAN'T HE KILL THAT BIG DUDE???

christopher

12-28-2007, 11:47 PM

Can we talk about the season finale yet? My buddy thinks that Dexter's dad played more of a role in cultivating a killer than what happened to Dexter as a child... even going so far as to set up his Mom. Harry immediately saw an oppurtunity to create a 'good' serial killer - one that could fix what Harry saw as the injustices of the world- and started training him from day one, leaving his brother on purpose to juxtapose the two. Then when he realized the Frankenstein he created after Dexter's first victim,he couldn't live with himself.

Lila, oh Lila. So sexy, such a shame...

lynnifer

12-28-2007, 11:53 PM

I've read the same opinion as well on Harry on tv.com. I hope this doesn't mean the end of the flashbacks though ... I'm still in need of answers!

Deb came out much different in the final episode than she started out as .. like from a bumbling goofy idiot to the strong confident cop she was in the finale.

I don't think we've seen the last of Lundy either. He wasn't convinced.

garlin

12-29-2007, 03:18 AM

Rita has made a major change from a demure, little walked on, colorless lady to strong, confident, (HOT), major player in Dex's life. I do like her better now than at first. Did I mention she is HOT?:)

RehabRhino

I've not ready any posts because I don't want to spoil it.

But I'm on episode 11 of season 1 - all watched over last 3 days! - and I'm totally hooked.

I love Dexter's dark narrative, and the fact that the characters are quite multi-layered. At first I thought, typical, hard-nosed bitchy female boss but then you see her relationship with people other than Dexter's sister and she's different. It's well structured.

Best thing I've watched in ages. Cheers Christopher:D

my hubby watches this. i hate it. he's such an unsympathetic character. i kinda think he should have hooked up with the psycho girl instead of killing her tho.

*ahem!* Cheers who!?!?!!?

Jen, I'll always be there to take unwarranted credit and kick your scrabulous butt. :)

Paul, I had to do the same. No peeking!

And yes, Deb has gotten so much hotter as the seasons unfold. My favourite tertiary character is the little Asian dude.

But I'm on episode 11 of season 1 - I just watched episodes 9 and 10 day b4 yesterday. 11 and 12 should be watched in a day or 2. I've done it the bass-ackward way as I watched the last 5 episodes of Season 2 first... :DAs they were broadcast on Showtime. Yeap, Rita is a hottie.

I'm on Season 2 Episode 7, will probably finish them all by tonight but still not reading this thread in case I get a spoiler.

Such a guy question but judging that Jeff and Christopher are posting here it may have been asked.

Debs, Rita or Lila?

lynnifer

Pathetic! lol

Yeah well Dexter is pretty hot. So was the Ice Truck Killer. Notice a recurring theme where the men are psycho? lol

Lynnifer, the ice truck killer was thin and creepy looking. Your taste in men?Agree!! Rita is waay hotter as Deb and Lila are too homely, IMO.

I get that Dexter is attractive, but the ITK???? :confused: :zombie: He is very creepy, but diffrent strokes....

Lila! homely?! Are you mixing them up? Lila is the psychotic Brit you know.

Rita is hot but has two kids and dresses like a 50 year old.

Debs - hot but built strangely like a male long distance runner.

JAYCUE

01-01-2008, 06:08 PM

I think they're all hot in their own way. What about when Rita dressed up like the Tomb Raider girl?

Anybody have a favorite scene from the show? I liked in Season 1 when Dexter tells the shrink he's a serial killer and then says how good it felt to say that.

christopher

01-01-2008, 06:26 PM

I thought Deb was kind of funny looking and too skinny in the beginning, but her potty mouth has grown on me. And she loves sex. I liked Rita in the beginning but her willowy-ness is getting old. The whole issues with junkies thing kind of turned me off. And Lila... I'm too smart to let myself get near a 'fire' like that lol.

2jazzyjeff

01-01-2008, 07:05 PM

Lila! homely?! Are you mixing them up? Lila is the psychotic Brit you know.Nope.. I think the turnoff is that she drives a ragtop Jeep? and Casper the Ghost has a better tan. :mega:Looks like the ITK has strung her up and drained her blood. Atleast she (Lila) has run a brush thru her hair tho'. Oh yeah, her accent is annoying. :p j/k.

Debs - hot but built strangely like a male long distance runner.Now that's funny.. and true. No shape at all.. like a 2x4. :agog:

Thanks, lynnifer. I got it this morning.

Chris, did yours have French subtitles in it to?

I had forgotten just how cute Rita was. She is so much better than the English chick last season, although I do dig accents. So the new season must be starting pretty soon, huh?

lynnifer

09-10-2008, 09:22 PM

Mine had subtitles too. David is getting really good at fooling around with video and was able to remove the subtitles before I watched it.

The last 30 seconds - Yikes!!!!

It starts on Showtime September 28th.

christopher

09-10-2008, 09:48 PM

French subtitles? Really??? My caregivers gonna flip out!

I know I'll catch shit for this, but I can't stand Rita anymore. She's hot but ugh. Too cutesy. Still lovin Deb though. I think she needs to get it on with that Asian IA girl. THAT would be hot!

brocko

doingtimeonmyass

09-11-2008, 04:32 PM

My wife told me she read that the actors that play Dexter and Deb are dating in real life.

Deb is cool not holding a grudge against Angel after getting bumped off the case. What's up with the weirdness between the Lt. and Angel?

lynnifer

09-12-2008, 06:24 AM

I read that as well!

I think Lt LaGuerta is looking for control over EVERYTHING and Angel is in the way and some'thing' to be 'dealt with'. I also thinks she doesn't feel she's part of the group anymore ...

I say right now she buys it this season after she puts two and two together about Dexter.

doingtimeonmyass

09-12-2008, 10:33 AM

I say right now she buys it this season after she puts two and two together about Dexter.That's quite an assertion. Do you think Dexter would deliberately kill an innocent thus breaking the code of Harry once again? Now that he is becoming more "human" he seems to be relaxing his ways.

doingtimeonmyass

10-14-2008, 12:12 PM

What do you think so far about this season? It's kind of weird. I did like however how Dexter dealt with the pedophile in the last episode.

lynnifer

10-15-2008, 12:27 AM

I agree ... weird to introduce a new serial in the 2nd or 3rd episode ... who apparently likes skin! Reminds me of the skin suit in Silence of the Lambs .... eeesh. I remember reading a spoiler about this season with Jimmy Smits ... that relationship gets deeper/more dangerous/weirder.

I wonder if Rita will have the baby by seasons' end or will we have to wait? It's still a great show!

lynnifer

11-03-2008, 06:26 AM

Alright who's the darn skinner? My money's on Quinn right now.

I felt the series slacking a bit but last night's episode was awesome!

I'll place my bet right next to yours on thinking that Quinn is the skinner. Notice how he always seems to be lurking a few feet away from conversations, and then jumps in to say what a great job Deb is doing. It feels pretty insincere to me. I'm starting to think that the Jimmy Smit's character is going to break Dexter's heart, and he might need to be "restrained" in the usual Dexter fashion if he becomes a threat to Dexter's privacy.

crppled007

I too believe it's Quinn, when Deb mentioned about AI investigating, maybe AI isn't wrong. BTW, I like Rita more, more wholesome to me.

11-03-2008, 04:17 PM

I just saw this thread.

Dexter is a great show and fun to predict whats next.

I think that the skinner is Deb's informant, Anton. It could be Quinn because he
is a creap, but everyone that Deb has talked to has been killed, except Anton.
Hmmm.

2jazzyjeff

I think it's Anton too.

doingtimeonmyass

12-08-2008, 05:03 PM

Holy crap, what about the last episode of Dexter? I'm glad Miguel is out of the way, but now I expect his brother to be a major pain to the police department. My only criticism is Quinn being too much of a badass not to call for backup before they went poking around in the killer's backyard.

Anyone know how many episodes are left in the season?

Jim

12-08-2008, 05:07 PM

One more left...

Eileen

12-08-2008, 05:09 PM

Only one episode left this season. I can barely stand the suspense. I knew Miguel was going to have to be dealt with, but part of the genius of this show as far as I am concerned is showing that Dexter could not only kill him, but also that it took a big emotional toll on him because he had never trusted to that extent before.

doingtimeonmyass

12-08-2008, 05:22 PM

That sucks. I don't see how they are going to wrap everything up in just one episode. Maybe it will have a huge cliffhanger of an ending.

lynnifer

12-08-2008, 06:16 PM

What worries me more is Deb going to get all of Harry's CI interview stuff.

She's bound to ask Dexter about the female ... his mother ... Laura Moser ... which could get interesting. That actor is awesome because sometimes you can see the want and hesitation to tell the truth on his face and then at the last minute, he doesn't.

I see that as the cliffhanger this season.

But then, won't Maria suspect something when it was only her and Dexter who knew about Miguel. Convenient that he disappears ... too much so.

So much for the friend talk as he called Dexter a 'weird freak'. Ha - right decision to off him? Check!

Was anyone else seriously fooled by Dexter being kidnapped? I thought that was the skinner for sure! Never even entered my mind about a bachelor party!

2jazzyjeff

12-08-2008, 06:22 PM

Was anyone else seriously fooled by Dexter being kidnapped? I thought that was the skinner for sure! Never even entered my mind about a bachelor party!They got me for sure! With only 1 more episode left I just knew that was going to be the ending.. Dexter left in the hands of the skinner! :zombie:

12-08-2008, 06:50 PM

Was anyone else seriously fooled by Dexter being kidnapped? I thought that was the skinner for sure! Never even entered my mind about a bachelor party!Yes I was! Plus the whole kidnapping was way too easy.

With one brother dead and the other missing, I'm waiting to see what's going to happen with Miguel's other brother. You know he is going to freak out.

Eileen

12-08-2008, 08:17 PM

The kidnapping scene had me convinced the skinner had gotten Dexter. Poor Masuka, getting punched in the face. That guy can't win for trying. He is pretty creepy, but he does care about his co-workers.

This is the most amazing show on cable, or anywhere as far as I am concerned. I don't want to give anything away to people who haven't seen this weeks episode, but when she opens the door and sees him standing there my jaw nearly dropped because of what she said to him. I did NOT see this one coming at all. I want it to be next Sunday already! I can barely stand the suspense!!

lynnifer

11-23-2009, 04:12 PM

doingtimeonmyass

11-23-2009, 07:06 PM

Great Season!! John Lithgow is superb..
I agree.

Except for being a serial killer Dexter is so cool. Watching him drag Trinity across the floor, into the kitchen, and slamming the door was intense.
...
In the Dexter novels, Deb finds out that Dexter is a serial killer and so the story goes. I'd like to see something like that play out in the show eventually, but don't think it's possible. If she's having such a hard time with the father's infidelity, she'd go insane with that information.

doingtimeonmyass

11-23-2009, 07:09 PM

I have a new appreciation for Mazuka this season. He may be a nut thrown in for comic relief, but he's a good friend.

christopher

11-23-2009, 08:09 PM

I've always liked Mazuka. He's the sweetest guy behind that potty mouth. I don't like the Angel/ Laguerta relationship... it's boring as Hell. Every episode my hate for Rita grows just a little more... I just can't. stand. her. anymore! And Jeez! How many times can reporter chick show her tits in a season!

I've liked this season more than the last one, mostly because of John Lithgow. How uncomfortable was dinner last night? What a screwed up family!

Dexter has really been losing his 'professional' edge this season. He's making all these stupid mistakes and I find it unsettling and sometimes unbelievable. What happened to the calculating, impeccable serial killer we all knew and loved?

Eileen

11-23-2009, 11:17 PM

Christopher,
I am right there with you about Rita. I can't stand her. She actually makes my skin crawl. She is about as sexy as a wet mop, so everytime she tries to get Dexter in the sack I want to practically yell "run Dexter, run....."

rybread

11-24-2009, 02:42 AM

Lets everybody be careful on what we give away. A lot of people haven't seen it yet and plan on watching the DVD when it comes out or maybe catching it On Demand.

lynnifer

11-24-2009, 02:48 PM

If my sources are correct (gawd so I have nothing better to do???) Rita *might* not make it past the end of this season. I've read that 'Dexter will never be the same again.' Only 3 more episodes!

I have been thinking for a long time that although Rita doesn't meet "Harry's code" she would be nearly impossible to live with and that offing her might be tempting..... But then there are the kids, so I don't think Dexter would break his code (OK....but I am not giving it away) and do that. Maybe she just suffocates from her own need?

lynnifer

Eileen

11-30-2009, 03:38 PM

One of the things that entralls me about this show is the complexity of Dexter's character. He has a set of rigid "ethics" despite being a killer. In many ways, although an entirely different story line, it is like Tony Soprano, who could do horrible things as part of his "business" but then come home and be a pretty remarkable father. It is so easy to write drama's in black or white, but Dexter, and everyone else in the show (with the possible exception of pathetic Rita) demonstrate all the gray areas that exist within us all.

2jazzyjeff

OMFG! Dexter's juggling is causing him to take far too many chances and be rushed, and it's making me a nervous wreck (just like Eileen!). And from the preview, it seems like we're not only going to get a wrap up of the Trinity story arc, but Deb might also figure out Laura Moser is Dexter's mother? I am going to die from anticipation trying to wait a whole week.

This is, hands down, the best season of "Dexter" ever. John Lithgow and Michael C. Hall both deserve Emmy nominations (and wins) for the work they've done. I can finally forgive them for the whole Jimmy Smits debacle.

Holee Shith, Batman! I just finished watching the finale two minutes ago. Nothing they have done comes anywhere close to this season, and especially tonight's finale.

Loved the "twist", even though I also saw it coming (someone was just too happy and at peace driving away in the night) -- and they tied it in nicely with back stories and realizations made tonight. I'm not likely to get the images from the final scene out of my head anytime soon, though.

lynnifer

12-15-2009, 03:49 AM

That had to be the most well written show on tv this year.

I thought Dexter was just going to turn and run and hide ... right up until the last ten minutes.

They talked a lot about Deb and her 'gut feelings' this season. Should be interesting in Season 5!

doingtimeonmyass

12-15-2009, 12:18 PM

Anyone who hadn't seen this season of Dexter and plans on catching it later on DVD and is worried about reading something that would spoil a surprise for them really shouldn't be reading this thread. That said, I sure am going to miss Arthur Mitchell. I was hoping he could get away somehow and be part of the next season. As for the last scene, I just see that putting a lot of guilt on Dexter. In the next season I got a gut feeling Deb is going to find out Dexter is a serial killer.

I get the feeling that we haven't heard the last of Elliot (was that
his name?), the guy who kissed Rita.

Eileen

12-16-2009, 07:27 PM

I feel the same way, guilty for disliking the Rita character as much as I did. On the other hand, she was sort of whiny and demanding of affection. Another mark of a well written show is when the audience ends up feeling so conflicted, and they definitely have done that to me.

12-16-2009, 09:11 PM

A couple things bothered me about that episode.

1. Dexter being in Arthur's garage when the detectives arrived. That whole scene was kind of screwy. I think this will be a significant factor in the next season. My guess is Dexter will come clean with his sister and somehow she will come to terms with it and protect him.

2. Where did Dexter come from when the Mustang died and how did he bring Arthur back to the cargo container?

3. How could Arthur's family not have mentioned "Kyle Butler" when they were being removed from the house and Dexter standing a stone throw away?

HAHA! I do that, too. Poke holes in their plot. Glad I'm not the only
one.

I guess Dexter was hiding in his Mustang, since he knew that Arthur
would visit the body shop and he obviously wasn't following him.

This leads me to wonder when Arthur could've killed Rita; If he did.
It had to have been after Dexter put them in the cab, but before
he visited the body shop.

The reason for the car trouble seemed strange as well. When could
Dexter have pulled that part off of it without having been seen?

I read an interview with the producers after the finale and they specifically stated they do that so each person can fill in their own story in relation to their emotions, experiences, etc.

They can't give us everything!

As for the last part ... Dexter and Trinity 'got each other' but their timing was off ... Dexter had no idea about Rita ... and Trinity had no idea that Dexter was onto him, instead of mourning Rita and dealing with that.

The storyline with Kyle Butler and Trinity's family is not over. They'll re-visit that in Season 5 and will be dealing with the aftermath all next season ... according to the interview I read. The producers said Dexter may go completely mad ... or may stop killing in relation to what happened to Rita.

No matter what - the 'careful and neat monster' has had his first failure. Can't wait for next season.

I figured that it was Dexter who had tinkered with Arthur's mustang in such a way that it would go a few miles and then break down.

You're right though about Dexter being in the garage. I see no possible way he could have explained that if asked.

antiquity

deb did ask dexter what he was doing there and he said something about it (Trinity being Arthur) getting out.

uggg, although i wanted rita gone, i didn't think or want it to happen like that sheesh. what a punch to the gut.

i too wondered why arthurs family didn't finger dexter. when he walked out the garage i was thinking, hide you fool.

i was also surprised that deb didn't connect the dots.

jennifer carpenters acting has gotten much better this season.

and micheal hall looks much better with hair.

did anyone watch the interview between lithgow and hall? micheal is kinda strange.

Antiquity, I thought the same thing about Michael C. Hall's hair (or lack thereof) in the interview. I am not sure what look he is trying for, but it doesn't work and he should wear it more like the Dexter character!

lol. he probably doesn't want to look like dexter between seasons or maybe it was jennifers idea. ;)

Todd, get to your video store or Netflix ASAP! You have to start with season one though because the story keeps building on what has happened in the past. Trust me, you will be glad you got it, although you might find yourself loosing a bit of sleep with a serious case of the "willies."

C'mon water cooler buddies! lol

I am loving the dynamic between Dexter and Lumen (Julia Stiles). I'm afraid it won't last though. My guess:

1) She'll take the fall and run (Dexter will help her escape), taking the heat off Dexter. Leaves it open for next season.

Peter Weller 'Robocop' has been excellent this season as disgraced cop Stan Liddy ... can't wait to see what he does with his evidence!

12-08-2010, 07:32 PM

I just got caught up today with the most recent episode. This season I'm liking LaGuerta less, Debra more, Masuka a lot more, and mixed feelings about Quinn. Masuka IMO is great comic relief for the show. I'd like to see an episode that shows the inside of his house LOL. Quinn has become the new Doakes character.

This season has sure been exciting and suspenseful, however I'm finding the machete killing portion of it a little boring. As much as I like the show I find myself saying "yeah, right. Only on TV." quite a bit.

***Spoiler alert***
I'm wondering how they're going to wrap everything up in only one more episode. It isn't a stretch of the imagination to see Quinn getting investigated and going down after this last episode even though he is innocent. He's wearing evidence , there will be cell phone records showing tension between him and the PI, and he's at the scene of the crime. BTW, is it just me or does Quinn remind you of a young Ray Liotta? I guess the whole Kyle Butler thing is just going to fade away with the FBI which is a disappointment. I'm not sure what to think about Lumen or what's going happen to her by the end of the season… All in all though I'm enjoying this season.

I can see the show continuing for a long time and I'm hoping at some point Deb finally learns about Dexter although she would never be able to handle that. Ever since John Lithgow guest starred and now Julia Stiles, I'm thinking of other more famous actors I'd like to see star in Dexter. I'd like to see someone like Harvey Keitel or Benicio Del Toro play a villain role, but maybe that would be a bit much.

Me too, and I was left wondering if she actually knew who was behind the curtain or not. This is one of the best writen shows on TV, and every year it seems to get better and better. Quinn is going to be even more fascinating next season, as he knows he owes a very big debt of gratitude to Dexter, but I am not sure he understands the total picture yet.

doingtimeonmyass

12-13-2010, 04:09 PM

As much as I'd like to see that scenario play out, I don't think so and here's why… Deb would freak out emotionally and she was much too relaxed at the birthday party. Look at how obsessed she was in the first seasons over learning her father was having an affair. Dexter is the only family she has and I think that information would be too much for her to bear. That's hardly something you could get counseling for.

lynnifer

12-13-2010, 05:09 PM

So much foreshadowing .. the way she quoted Dexter towards the two from their earlier conversation last week, "Do you think some people deserve to die?" Dexter replied, "I think there's some people that don't deserve to live." Debra speaking to Quinn behind bars saying, "You think you know people but then you don't."

I must say I liked the original title of this episode better. Through a Looking Glass, Darkly ... which has much more connotation with it than the title they changed it to, The Big One.

I read earlier in the week where the verse comes from (not having picked up a Bible in years I wouldn't have got it):

1 Corinthians Verse 13:
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Remember .. wishes are for children. lol

I hope not. Apparently they weren't getting along during filming of the fifth season.

A source tells Access that, according to a person very close to the production, the real life husband and wife, who play brother and sister Dexter & Deborah Morgan on the hit Showtime show, haven’t been getting along on set all season and that it’s widely known an official separation announcement is imminent.

I watched it and thought it was pretty good.

One thing that bothers me about the series is how it's only loosely based on one of the Dexter novels. I suppose it could be a good thing to keep the television series going, but it seems Cody and Astor were written off the show whereas in the novel Dexter becomes a mentor for them instead of focusing on a biological child named Harrison (Harry's son).

So did anyone catch the lab intern, 'Ryan' stealing 'Bryans' handiwork in the form of the multi-coloured painted nails on the prosthetic hand from evidence in the Ice Truck Killer case??? She said she was obsessed.

Lots of rumour on the net - someone from Dexter's past is supposed to make an appearance in episode 6 that will change Dexter AND the show forever.

Guesses that 'Ryan' is 'the other sister' to a former girlfriend of ITK from the mental institution to his daughter ... that Harry was never really dead ... Lumen ... Jonah ... even Doakes! lol

I suspect it's Lumen, though I would adore hearing, "Surprise motherf*cker!" one more time! lol

I know for sure who it is now. I was reading blogs on the net and someone said to go to IMDB.com and look up the stuntmen for this particular episode.

Watched the ep last night. Brian looks a little rounder in the face. Maybe he gained weight as a ghost lol. Anyways, I'm enjoying this season, but one thing I can't reconcile is the hunting victims, working and being a Dad at the same time. His kid comes off as a minor distraction in his life.

MikeC

11-09-2011, 12:02 PM

The show would be pretty boring if it centered on a single guy raising a kid. I think the main point of the kid is to see if Dexter can raise him without him turning into a monster. But, I agree that most of the time the kids seems like an afterthought since there is so much going on. Will be interesting to see if Debra makes it as a lieutenant. Glad they didn't write her out of the show when they broke up in real life - I love the way she talks - never knew there were so many uses for the word f##k.

lynnifer

11-09-2011, 06:12 PM

I love her lines in the show!

The kid is the catalyst ... will Dexter be good? Can he be good? Will he remain bad? How long can he survive if he remains bad? He can't walk the tightrope forever and the pressure (Harrison) is building. This will culminate in the series finale (1 more season after this, or so I've read).

I think Debra has suspicions at this point - I think we'll find out more by the end of the season now that she's in charge and can watch the department - and Dex.

doingtimeonmyass

11-09-2011, 08:45 PM

I don't know if Deb could handle finding out the truth about Dexter. Remember what a big deal she made out of Harry having an affair? So refresh my memory… Is Dexter the only character who knows ITK was his brother?

So what do you guys think about Edward James Olmos's character? Wasn't he on the front page of the newspaper? How is he walking around without anybody noticing?

lynnifer

11-09-2011, 09:02 PM

No - remember when Trinity got away, Deb approached Dexter at Trinity's house and told him the ITK was his birth-brother after she interviewed Harry's former affair? Dexter played along like he didn't know.

As far as I know, no other character knows.

ITK has been my absolute favourite character as far as any show, ever. I hope I'm not hospitalized for long so I can keep up/catch up with this show!
