You know, I've always had a thing for Julia Stiles. But that woman just gets hotter and hotter.

Yes, she does. Always one of my favorites.

stevew · 10-25-2010, 09:45 PM

I'm hoping Quinn's old cop friend kills LaGuerta. This episode redeemed the season for me.

I don't think Deb's ever going to top that one.

This season is probably the worst of the 5, but last week's episode was the best of the season so hopefully that means it's picking up. I haven't liked Julia Stiles much, but she was good last episode when she watched Dexter kill Cole. Also, Laguerta screwing over Deb finally makes the side story somewhat interesting.

jeff061 · 11-20-2010, 08:24 PM

I still think this season is easily best of the 5

. I liked the other seasons enough to watch, but there were just so many "eyeroll" moments that killed a lot of it for me. Beyond Laguerta and Angel on occasion I haven't really gotten that vibe for once.

And Julia Stiles.

Bad-example · 11-23-2010, 08:32 PM

So, who's gonna die?

Lumen
Robocop
LaGuerta
The Babysitter

jeff061 · 11-23-2010, 08:51 PM

I stumbled across the IMDB credits in week 2 and noticed one of the characters were only credited for ten episodes. Still kicking myself. So I won't spoil.

That stuff doesnt mean all that much usually. Ive definitely been credited for episodes of shows I didnt work on and not credited for shows I did. IMDB is not 100% reliable when it gets that specific.

ETA: According to IMDB Julia Styles is done so I really wouldnt trust these entries so much it ruins your viewing experience.

molson · 11-27-2010, 06:07 PM

I just finished season 4 - I started the series sometime after season 4 actually aired, and wasn't able to catchup in time to watch season 5 on showtime. It doesn't look like I have any (legal) options to catchup now, unless Showtime re-reruns season 5 episodes at some point (it looks like the only go a few back at the moment).

Loved season 4, despite the warts. It was fun just now reading all predictions and thoughts here throughout that season.

I did just see the trailer for season 5 - I'm not convinced Dexter didn't off Rita (without being consciously aware of it), after his father was talking to him about "freeing his family" towards the end of season 4.

If anybody knows of any legal season 5 viewing options for the start of the season, I'd love a pm - obviously I can't come back here and be spoiled.

-apoc- · 11-29-2010, 12:31 AM

I am really enjoying this season so far much more than the last two. That being said I am not sure how I feel about the ending of tonight's episode. I guess the last two episodes will decide that.

stevew · 12-14-2010, 02:05 PM

Thoughts on the final?

I think maybe the whole thing is way too easy, and maybe they are more interested in seeing seasons 6 and 7 rather than pursuing a good ending.

Anyways, Michael C Hall and Jennifer Carpenter are getting divorced, which should be a even weirder dynamic.

jeff061 · 12-14-2010, 02:06 PM

Yeah, pretty basic ending. I didn't think it was bad. Just not memorable.

Travis · 12-14-2010, 02:17 PM

I had hoped this season would revive my interest in the show, but hole after hole and convenience after convenience as far as the writing is concerned has overridden the quality acting they get every season (pretty much all their main villains have done fantastic jobs).

This finale just had me eye rolling entirely too often to take seriously and while I may soften my stance by the time next season starts, well, imho it's really sad how far the show has fallen compared to the first few seasons.

I hadn't heard that yet. He's had a rough go of it lately... Cancer, Divorce... no wonder he ended up a serial killer.

Bad-example · 12-16-2010, 10:10 AM

I really didn't care for Peter Weller's character and am glad he's gone for good. Not his best work. Lumen surviving qualifies as a big surprise in my book. LaGuerta continues to draw breath and the suffering of the viewers continues.

A solid season. Still one of the best shows going.

jeff061 · 12-16-2010, 10:37 AM

During the first few seasons I disliked most the characters for the same reasons as LaGuerta. Really detracted from the show for me. Over the last couple this has gotten much better and I've enjoyed the show far more because of it.

molson · 01-06-2011, 11:30 AM

I just caught up with season 5, and have thus finished off the entire series in about 6 months.

Season 5 was a less careful about plot holes and suspension of disbelief, and I can forgive that.

The season 4 ending really wasn't the game-changer for the series it felt like at the time. That last episode of season 4, and the first episode of 5 (and the season 5 trailer) made it appear this would be a season-long public suspicion of Dexter, who was going to an even darker place with the death of his wife. It was kind of disappointing they didn't go that way.

I don't think Julia Styles is a good actress at all. I think another actress could have absolutely killed that role. Maybe they were just foccused on getting the biggest name possible.

But the good for me, was very good. There was a tension build throughout the season, and I thought the last 3 episodes were some of the best of series. I was so wrapped up in things I actually bought into every tease of Dexter being revealed/caught. But then, all of that rising tension came to a crashing halt in the climax of the season - Deb catching up to Dexter and Styles but letting them go, and not even getting a look at them. It was then that I realized that this was just going to be another self-contained season, and that we'd kick of season 6 basically with everything back to normal. Which is kind of dissapointment. (I don't know if there would have been a good way to actually go through with a Deb reveal going forward, but it would have blown me away in a good way if they tried.)

The Quinn stuff was wrapped up too tidely for my liking too. So he knows Dexter's a murderer. I guess that creates tension going forward but I don't buy his reasons for keeping quiet at all (And it's odd that Dexter didn't seem all that concerned about it.)

It seems like at the end of the day, for me, they pushed some envelopes that were legitimately exciting, but in doing so they wrote themselves into a corner and really had to be a little ridiculous to get everything back to the status quo. Disappointing for a show that feels like it should be taking risks. I mean, a show about a likeable serial killer playing it safe? Meh.

Still can't wait for next season though.

Lathum · 01-08-2011, 12:03 AM

This is still my favorite show but this season just didn't deliver like other season had. When I think back to the first 3 seasons and just how solid they were I long for that, I may need to watch season 2 next week. That was IMO the best.

hoopsguy · 04-30-2011, 11:12 PM

Just got done watching the first two seasons of this on Netflix instant - blew through them in about a week. Going to be a much slower grind getting through the rest now that I have to wait for the disks to arrive in the mail, but I certainly will be doing so over the next couple of months.

I thought Season 2 was significantly better than Season 1, and Season 1 was pretty darn good. But Season 2 was much more unpredictable to me in terms of the "next shoe to drop" and I thought that the characters remained true to themselves while taking different directions. If this was where the show diverted from the book then the (show) writers should be really proud of themselves for what they were able to craft.

Lathum · 04-30-2011, 11:42 PM

Season 2 was amazing, just awesome stuff.

Matthean · 07-24-2011, 04:07 PM

molson · 07-24-2011, 06:28 PM

Certainly not as compelling as last season's teasers, but maybe it will be good for the show to get back to the basics.

Grammaticus · 07-24-2011, 10:29 PM

I hope so, last season was pretty much the worst one so far.

stevew · 09-28-2011, 06:55 PM

Can't wait for Sunday.

RainMaker · 09-28-2011, 07:34 PM

I got through all 5 seasons this summer and realized I get Showtime although I don't pay for it. So I've got this on the DVR along with the Homeland show after.

Did not like last season as much as the others. Hoping this one gets back to basics as well.

Slightly off-topic but it does seem movie channels are getting a lot cheaper and desperate. With Dexter on the way, I've re-signed up for Showtime, which included Starz, and TMC, and Encore, which is something like 30 channels and on-demand stuff. I wonder if I could be organized enough to harness what's there to replace Netflix (or cut Netflix to 1-DVD out at a time).

Great time for my TV's audio to decide to finally break once and for all (and stupid me for not getting it fixed the second it started acting up), so I can't watch tonight. And of course Showtime is the last premium network not to stream their stuff online for subscribers. Fuck them with a rusty pitchfork.

Jas_lov · 10-13-2011, 10:22 PM

The first two episodes have been ok. I like Mos Def's character and Masuka's intern. The worst scenes have been with the 2 main villians- Edward James Olmos and that other kid. If Deb and Quinn don't get back together it should be a good season.

stevew · 10-13-2011, 10:42 PM

They should have resolved this show last season. All I'm hoping for now is a good reveal arc with Deb, and LaGuerta on Dex's table(and the sooner the fucking better).

Am I the only one who thinks the show has gotten bad? I loved the first few seasons but just not feeling it anymore. Rita was annoying near the end but she was one of the only real characters on the show.

The writing isn't nearly as tight as it was the first few seasons but they continue to hit home runs when it comes to casting/performances and it's helped them get by. I'm hoping the writing comes back around and/or they stop trying to prolong the show and hit the remaining "major" storylines (ie: Debra finding out).

I do wonder if we'll ever even hear mention of the other kids this season or if they've essentially disappeared forever.

molson · 10-14-2011, 11:11 PM

The dialogue sounds a bit like Dexter fans writing Dexter dialogue, but I'm not worried yet.

RainMaker · 10-15-2011, 04:18 AM

My problem is that outside of Dexter, all the other characters (and actors to an extent are bad). They are all incredibly one dimensional and unfortunately, I don't give a shit about any of them. I don't care about LaGuerta's issues with her boss. Batista doesn't really seem to fit into anything and sort of just bounces around like a useless character. Deb has just repeated her same lines for 5 seasons now.

Rita wasn't my favorite, but she was at least somewhat complex. They did try and turn her into a generic nagging wife after the 1st season (in which she was an incredible character). But unless the show has an incredible actor playing the villian now like Jon Lithgow, it's just turning re-hashing the same storyline with the same characters acting the same way.

Landshark44 · 10-24-2011, 09:15 PM

I'm not really liking this season as much as the others. Plot seems to be forcing the whole religion angle, and everything just seems totally contrived. You guys liking it?

This is pretty much how I'm feeling these days. I don't give a shit about any of the other characters, and honestly...I'm starting to give less of a shit about Dexter and kind of secretly eagerly awaiting the finale where he presumably gets caught by the department.

Schmidty · 10-24-2011, 10:12 PM

I think this season's been very entertaining so far, but I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to shows that are at least halfway decent.

stevew · 10-24-2011, 10:34 PM

I like the Mos Def character quite a bit. Colin Hanks and Stand & Deliver are a horrible team and I hope their storyline resolves quickly. I think they are maybe alluding to Dex and Deb hooking up, although I'm probably reading too much into it.

Wait, what!! You mean like hooking up together? I don't see that at all. I'm thinking Deb is gonna start banging the chicago cop.

korme · 10-25-2011, 01:09 AM

Quinn and Batista getting high was maybe the funniest segment in Dexter's six season history

stevew · 10-25-2011, 01:16 AM

I think the Chicago cop is gay.

stevew · 11-21-2011, 08:02 PM

So....is Gellar real? I think that he probably is, but I could also see Travis having a split personality. As far as being chained up, that could easily be explained away. This season is growing on me. Was interesting that they brought back Rudy/Brian/itk for an episode.

Johnny93g · 11-21-2011, 09:30 PM

I'm in the Gellar is dead and Colin Hanks is batshit crazy boat.

DaddyTorgo · 11-21-2011, 09:33 PM

I don't see how Gellar isn't alive.

They are all incredibly one dimensional and unfortunately, I don't give a shit about any of them. I don't care about LaGuerta's issues with her boss. Batista doesn't really seem to fit into anything and sort of just bounces around like a useless character. Deb has just repeated her same lines for 5 seasons now. Rita wasn't my favorite, but she was at least somewhat complex. They did try and turn her into a generic nagging wife after the 1st season (in which she was an incredible character). But unless the show has an incredible actor playing the villian now like Jon Lithgow, it's just turning re-hashing the same storyline with the same characters acting the same way.

I think they are maybe alluding to Dex and Deb hooking up, although I'm probably reading too much into it. Last edited by stevew : 10-24-2011 at 10:37 PM.
