Showtime Series - Dexter - Page 7

molson · 05-18-2012, 10:53 AM

I read somewhere, maybe it was even a hint from one of the producers, certainly not a "spoiler" or anything, that the more likely direction is that this new intimacy and honesty in their relationship could lead too...more intimacy in their relationship. Which I don't think anyone wants to see. But I'd be surprised if that isn't at least explored or teased. Whatever though, I'll be on board for every episode no matter want, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it regardless of the quality. I'm hooked!

larrymcg421 · 05-18-2012, 11:01 AM

If Dex was gonna kill Deb, they'd have done that in the season finale. Too hard to hide a secret like that between seasons, especially if Jennifer Carpenter started turning up in casting announcements for fall pilots.

I think the season was awful, but the final twist was very promising for next season. However, if it means they start fucking, then I'm out.

Kodos · 05-18-2012, 11:08 AM

Yes. I don't know whose idea it was to put in the faux-incest storyline, but dear god, bag it.

And I want to see Dexter ultimately get caught.

Johnny93g · 07-13-2012, 06:12 PM

Sneak peak first 2 minutes of season 7

molson · 09-04-2012, 11:41 PM

A little more on the next season from a Showtime behind the scenes preview. I'm not discussing anything outside the preview, but, just in case

Spoiler

mckerney · 09-05-2012, 02:14 AM

I was hoping Dexter would go for more of the, "Remember Jordan Price?" angle.

molson · 09-30-2012, 04:24 PM

Bump for season premiere tonight. I'm looking forward to it, it's the only current show I actually watch at the moment.

wooo! thanks for the reminder!

Jas_lov · 09-30-2012, 05:17 PM

The show has dipped in quality since Season 4 but they had a good end to the last episode of last season. Looking forward to see how they handle that with 2 seasons left in the series.

molson · 10-01-2012, 08:09 AM

As long as that last scene wasn't a dream sequence, things moved along much faster than I thought they would.

Yeah. I'm really glad they didn't drag it out, and just got to it.

Awesome finish to Ep 1

larrymcg421 · 10-01-2012, 01:29 PM

The premiere was certainly better than any episode last season. Hell, even Laguerta wasn't annoying. If they're gonna have her investigating things to try and clear Doakes' name (which I thought was gonna happen a while ago since she never seemed to believe he was guilty), then that's much better use of her than just randomly being a bitch to Deb or involved in storylines completely unconnected to the main plot.

My thoughts exactly.

stevew · 10-01-2012, 02:26 PM

I don't get what the creepy intern guy's angle is.

chinaski · 10-01-2012, 03:10 PM

awesome ending!

Kodos · 10-01-2012, 10:57 PM

Very nice. I think this will be a very interesting season, as long as we don't see them making sweet love.

Jas_lov · 10-02-2012, 08:19 AM

The show has really changed. Dexter used to be so careful and thorough and now he's killing people in an airport. I like how this season is setting up. Deb looks hotter this season.

stevew · 10-02-2012, 10:33 AM

Incest, that isn't even blood incest, is worse than murder? I hope Dexter bends Deb over a kill table.

I really did not like the airport kill, though thought the episode as a whole was good. Not only does it seem out of character for him it goes a bit beyond the normal amount of suspension of disbelief for the show.

Also really curious about the former intern being he seems like the kind of guy who would react the exact same way if someone else used his computer and cancelling credit cards seems well beyond the typical way of getting back at someone. Looking forward to finding out exactly what his angle is.

It seemed like killing off Mike was necessary, his questioning of the suicide and no car around could easily have lead to him seeing Deb buying gas at the nearby gas station just before the fire.

stevew · 10-02-2012, 03:27 PM

I just assumed that Mike died so that he could do a full character arc on Sons of Anarchy. They also needed a way to incorporate the Eastern European gangster story. I'm assuming Jason Gedrick(from Murder One) will have a pretty major arc this season.

No clue on any of that, but my thought when he started questioning the suicide explaination I didn't think he would end up living much longer. He seemed like he'd find somwthing bad and was wondering if Dexter would have to take care of him before he was shot by the gangster. I was thinking he would follow up on Travis not having a car there and eventually check the security footage of the nearby gas station.

stevew · 10-02-2012, 03:48 PM

oh, yeah, agreed that his time on this earth was short once he started looking for the car.

fixed

hated the airport kill, liked the episode

mckerney · 10-09-2012, 07:09 PM

Is anyone else disappointed Dexter hasn't mentioned Jordan Chase to Deb yet?

stevew · 10-09-2012, 07:24 PM

Or Trinity.

chinaski · 10-09-2012, 09:34 PM

Im not digging how she just accepts everything without him really qualifying what he does. I am liking the season so far, but im wary of whats to come.

jeff061 · 10-09-2012, 10:31 PM

I think she's accepting because she wants to believe that she can help him change, she loves him. She's not doing him a favor.

That eventually, though I'm not sure, "Oh, it's sort of my fault Rita got killed," is the best angle with Deb right now. You would think Dexter would go with, "Deb, in the past you haven't had a problem with what I do," to convince her to be on his side. Just like Deb should be asking, "Wait, if you're the Bay Harbor Butcher then what happened to Doaks?"

Also I find it kind of weird that Dexter would go live with Deb and not take Harrison with him.

My wife and I were saying the same thing. That seems very odd.

larrymcg421 · 10-11-2012, 12:20 PM

Yeah the Doaks thing makes Deb's actions very problematic. She was pretty close to him. She met his family, who now think he is a serial killer. The fact she could clear his name but is protecting her brother instead is pretty shitty. I love the new twist on the season as it changes the stakes after the shittiness of last season, but this is a pretty big plot hole for me.

I don't really have a problem with Deb choosing to protect Dexter rather than clearing Doakes' name, but there are some questions that it Deb would probably be asking. "If you're the Butcher then what exactly happened to Doakes and where did the evidence that he was the Butcher come from?" seem like a couple of obvious ones.

mckerney · 10-11-2012, 12:46 PM

I am looking forward to the conversation that goes something like, "We really need to catch this fucker who killed Mike," followed by, "Oooh, about that that..."

stevew · 10-15-2012, 02:48 AM

Thank god that they killed off that Louis guy. He really sucked.

Jas_lov · 10-15-2012, 07:34 PM

Yeah, I'm glad they ended that Louis storyline. I thought it was going to be something big but it turned out to be just a prank war so he had to go. I liked the serial killer with the fun house. Seemed a little like Silence of the Lambs with Deb going in there alone.

Tried to figure out what it is..... she's never really done much for me in the past. like a 5/10, but this season she jumped up to a 7.

Hair stylist, color.
Wardrobe.

Plus, shes looking much more tan than I remember.

Im certain they made an effort to do so with the storyline, but couldnt quite put my finger on it. She still doesnt do it for me, prob because everytime I see her it stands out that her right eye is larger than her left. Freaks me out.

stevew · 10-16-2012, 02:15 AM

I wonder how the mood on the set actually is, considering that Hall and Carpenter got divorced last December. Certainly seems very odd and unique in regards to the cast of a show. I do agree she's getting hotter, but she could use a boob job(a stealth one, like 1-2 sizes bigger, but not overwhelming).

That may not be good, Rita was the last character to suddenly get hotter and she ended up dying at the end of that season.

The divorce finalized last December, but I think that they had separated about 18 months before then, so they have been dealing with this on set for a long time.

SegRat · 10-17-2012, 08:55 AM

Some of my thoughts from the end of last season that seem to be holding up.

Why him? The public basically didn’t care anymore once they learned that the butcher was killing other criminals that deserved to be killed. So why mention the Bay Harbor Butcher at all? On top of that when Dexter didn’t seem to care at all about the video game the intern then became extremely upset, IMO because he was telling Dexter that he knows who he is. And what about the hand. That was from the Ice Truck Killer. The Ice Truck Killer was Dexters brother. This intern knows exctly who Dexter is and what he is. I just hope that this will not be a repeat of season 3.

If Deb believes that Travis was also Trinity, she will turn the other way so to speak. Trinity killed Lundy who Deb was in love with. If she does believe that Travis is Trinity IMO it will be a shitty way to start next season, That storyline will be dead by episode 2.

I also wonder if Dexter took a picture of the painting on the wall. He had his camera. It would justify in Deb's mind that Trinity was back to get kill Dexter.

If the guy just wanted it to make its way back into the department, seems to me it would have been smarter to send it back to Masuka so that he could cover his own ass. The intern also drew something on the inside of the hand before sending it to Dexter. Why put some kind of marking on the hand?

I totally agree about the boob job which surprises me considering I'm usually against fake titties.

Schmidty · 10-17-2012, 11:33 AM

Dola.

Also, with all of it's flaws, Dexter is still the best show on TV (just ahead of Breaking Bad).

Was I missing something, or did it not seem like there was anything to indicate that Brian had any idea Dexter was a killer? If he did I'd think exposing him would be much better revenge than sinking his boat.

Especially after the "Trinity struck again," plot line last season. I don't think anyone would believe Travis took a break from the Dooms Day Killings to go kill someone in Nebraska.

I am sad that Boobs the Waitress got killed off. Why couldn't Deb have saved her?
