Dexter (Season 5)

Re: Dexter (Season 5)

The thing about Quinn turning in Dexter is that Dex has seen Quinn taking money from crime scenes, so he better think twice about this. I know Dexter crimes are more severe but Quinn could do serious time for what he has done as well.

"so, you've been accused by this serial killer of stealing a couple hundred bucks from a crime scene once. What do you have to say for yourself?"

"I didn't do it"

"well, that's good enough for me. Afterall, you are a COP and he is a SERIAL KILLER. I think I'll take your word over his."

no offense, but if it came down to it, I don't think the fact that Quinn stole some money would ever come into play over whether or not he turned Dexter in. If anything, the fact that he loves Deb would play a bigger factor in staying quiet, because it would destroy her (even if she wouldn't turn Dexter in, it would still crush her). Another poster hinted at this scenario... maybe Quinn finds out the truth and does something desperate to shut Robocop up before anyone else can find out (especially Deb). Again, probably not likely, but more likely imo than him being afraid of the dirt Dexter has on him.

Re: Dexter (Season 5)

Yea, at this point I see Quinn protecting Dexter before turning him in. I think in time Quinn will find out the truth but see the good in Dexter's actions. In many ways, Quinn is going to be the audience.

He'll know that he's supporting a serial killer - someone doing something wrong by killing others. But, he'll accept him because he's getting rid of the world's bad guys.

Re: Dexter (Season 5)

Is it possible we could be headed to a point where there's actually quite a few people that know about Dexter's secret and accept it? You think about it and we already have Lumen knowing, plus if Deb and Quinn do the same. Interesting to say the least.

While we're in speculation mode here lol, what does everyone think is going to happen with Lumen? Can she really stick around going into next season? There's basically no way she gets killed off, but I see something else happening instead.

This is my biggest question opposite Dexter being discovered by Debra.

I can't see the writers killing Lumen. I just think it would be a carbon copy of last season's finale of removing from Dexter's life someone he feels connected to. Not to mention that Lumen should, in some ways, have a bigger impact on Dexter because in all honesty, she's more a soul mate for him than Rita.

How could they justify ending a season the same way again? It'd be rather disappointing.

Then again, if she stays, is Julia Stiles really going to be in the show for another season? They've never done that before, but if she's the beginning of the end then I guess it makes sense.

What is probably more likely is she leaves to go back home, both Dexter and her having to accept that they could not be together for some reason.

But those are all just guesses, of course. I know nothing.

Lumen will probably survive based on the enough is enough theory of Dexter not having another woman in his life murdered. In that case she will simply leave town and move on.
The interesting scenario here is if both Quinn and Debra find out, and Quinn somehow accepts Dexter's excessive vigilantism.

I was thinking that as a possibility as well. But then I thought more about it and think that she'll be the fall person for Dexter when it comes to the vigilante scenario they're playing up now.

Assuming they don't make it look like Jordan Chase killed all of the guys involved with the barrel girls and then killed himself or anything like that, I think Lumen will take the fall because she knows Dexter has to take care of Harrison and the rest of his family.

Just watched last episode, awesome stuff

Re: Dexter (Season 5)

Yeah, I really don't see Quinn being the guy to do it. Personally I think he'll get killed off in the season finale, but I don't think it will be by Dexter.

SPOILER BASED OFF OF THE PREVIEW

Spoiler

Not sure if you saw the preview for next week, but Dexter believes that Quinn setup the camera in the house. They show a scene where Dexter and Lumen see each other on Harrison's baby monitor due to radio interference and he find the camera. Then Dexter immediately thinks its Quinn that is spying on him. I have also noticed this past season how deceiving the Dexter weekly previews are......so who knows what will happen.

I have this feeling that Dexter will kill Quinn which will set off a chain of events. Robocop will see Dexter kill Quinn and **** hits the fan from there. Robocop needs to redeem himself and this is the way he will try to do that.

The first few episodes were very very slow, but this show has picked up steam. In no way is this season better than season 4, but it has turned out to be pretty good. This sucks because Sons of Anarchy is done for the season, Walking Dead this Sunday, and then the following week Dexter is done for the season. Three great shows right there that have kept me entertained this fall.

I am just glad that the whole Bautista/Lagurda story has been swept under the rug. Just didn't care for it at all.

Re: Dexter (Season 5)

I think Lumen may end up taking the wrap as the vigilante killer and she will be sent to prison, thus writing her off the show without killing her.

Dex wouldn't let her do it.

Re: Dexter (Season 5)

Dex wouldn't let her do it.

He wouldn't want to, but I don't think Lumen would give him a choice.

He still has a family to support, whereas Lumen has basically abandoned hers.

Re: Dexter (Season 5)

I don't even talk Dexter with friends anymore. I get this vibe that all of us avoid it because we're just going to end up arguing over what's happening.

Re: Dexter (Season 5)

Excited for tonight's episode, but sad at the same time. Only 1 more left after this.

Re: Dexter (Season 5)

Very short episode tonight (only like 43 minutes or so) but holy **** did they set up an incredible season finale.

And I wish I hadn't watched the previews, but since I did:

Spoiler

I know the producers are incredible at misleading people in their previews, but holy **** did that not appear to be Deb pointing a gun at Dexter?

Yeah, they did a good job at that. I think she's pointing the gun at Jordan but it depends who he is with.

And yes, it felt/was a short episode because the first 30 minutes or so kind of were slow and was waiting for the pace to pick up and it sure did. I was wondering how Dexter would get out of the van situation and it's all pointing back to Quin.
