Re: Dexter (Season 6)
I'll a little stunned that you guys enjoyed this week's episode. This is no longer mut watch TV for me and I just watched it today and as a unintentional comedy it worked wonders. It may have been a throwaway show but they threw it right into the gutter. It may have been the worst episode of the entire series. It was so sloppily done that it was approaching the parody level. Here is my longwinded gripes (and there is lots).
Everything was done haphazardly, they made Brian super annoying, I wanted Dexter to kill him again after 20 minutes. I wanted the series to explore Dexter's dark urges to kill anyone whether they deserve it or not and it lasts one episode? That should be good for an entire season and they are using it as a filler show.
With this show you have to suspend reality because of plot holes but now it's getting ridiculous. Dexter goes to the house without bothering to check if there was a car in the driveway to see if the son was there? If the son came home while he was in there how could Dexter not hear his car door slam or the front door opening? And how the hell did Dexter know where the exact address of the family was? It's witness protection, that info would not be available to the blood splatter guy. And how did he know where the son worked? Is that in the police files as well that Dex could easily access?
If Trinity had been the killer the FBI would have been all over the house with a fine tooth comb and Dexter after 2 minutes figures out how the son kills the mother by obvious blood splatters on the ceiling that the Nebraska police missed? They are apparently as stupid as the Miami police. The son kills his mother in a rage which you think would be pretty sloppy and he says it's Trinity and the cops buy it. If Dexter figures like father like son, wouldn't the cops as well? And how convenient is it that the daughter kills herself in a bathtub, did she knowingly decide to off herself in a misguided attempt to place the blame on Trinity for later? Really?
And why is it every random guy Dexter runs into is some dark criminal like the hotel owner. This guy has the worst luck in the world. And the guy has a gun pointed at Dex yet Dex was fast enough to turn around and grab a pitchfork and stab him before the guy has a chance to shoot? The guy is like the Flash.
And the scenes Dexter pimps himself out to get a gun (why does he need a gun in the 1st place? He never kills anyone with a gun and why would he start with Trinity's son? Oh it's needed so the hotel owner can point it at him later) and shoots guns into the air reminds me when Peter Parker becomes Emo in Spiderman 3. Dex has never acted like that in his life but now he becomes the hollering cowboy because of his dark side. It was cringe worthy. At least SP3 had the excuse of an alien influence.
This season started out pretty well but it is sinking fast and may end up the worst ever. Geller is obviously not real and now it's looking more and more like that is the big twist for the season when anyone with half a brain have already figured it out by now. You can't hide that twist for an entire season. Dexter has already caught Travis easily so there is absolutely no tension left. Does anyone really take Travis seriously as an adversary for Dexter because they sure have portrayed him as a big weenie who lets people go when he feels guilty and can't even figure out that Dex is following him. The bad writing is starting to show.
People may think I'm negative but I think I brought up valid points. There were more plot holes in this one episode then there was in the entire 1st season and it really makes it hard to take it seriously when the writers can make up whatever they want to suit thier needs. I have more interest in watching now just to see how much of a trainwreck it is which pisses me off because of how the series has become so sloppy and half hearted.
