Re: Dexter (Season 6)

Dexter never saw Geller. Travis looked up at the opening, Dexter assumed he had seen Geller and turned around, when he didnt see him he assumed he had fled

i dunno, it certainly looked like dexter saw him, i'd have to watch it again, which i won't lol. i agree with everything being said about dexter not being careful enough etc. but i've still enjoyed the season

debra annoys the **** outta me too.

also, why are they turning Quinn into such a clown? he must be going to be killed off soon, and i liked his character, he and Bautista are funny as hell together...

i love 'chicago mike' his and dexter's interactions have been great, need more of those

Re: Dexter (Season 6)

True, but the first two seasons showed Dexter taking great pains to avoid being caught. There was real tension on an episode-by-episode basis. In the last two+ seasons, Dexter's been incredibly sloppy and broken Harry's code repeatedly. Which would be interesting if I thought that this was deliberate and that there'd be consequences for Dexter, but I fear that it's merely lazy writing.

Yeah I remember even an early 4th season episode where he was trailing Trinity in the office building. he accounted for the guard, the cameras etc.. it was a strength of the show just to see how he planned things to account for everything. Now he's walking around with weapons, into cellers with no way out, shooting guns on the highway while he has his tools in the trunk, dumping bodies into silos.

I know it's not real life but for a cable show it would be nice try and make it more realistic than a sitcom especially when the purpose of the show is a serial killer trying to kill people without getting caught.

I'm going to chalk it up to either this being the writers' way of him eventually getting caught or all the changes behind the scenes after Season 4 left us with some not-so-good people running things.

Well it looks like the next 2 seasons are the last and some clues will be planted at the end of this season. Hopefully that's not a red herring to get people to keep watching this season who have already been turned off by the twist. At least that gives the writers some leeway to make things more logical (and don't screw it up like the Lost writers did) for the grand finale although if it's Dexter getting caught because he's sloppy they have done an overkill with the sloppiness this season.

And this is why I have never bought into the Gellar being dead as the big twist of the season mentality. There's going to be something real big in these last two episodes.

Let's hope so because it's the only thing that can save this wretched season. But I remember when Deb found out about the Ice Truck Killer being Dex's brother and I thought sh'e's finally gonna know Dex is a serial killer and we get to see what direction they go with that. But all they did was have Deb say "Oh poor you Dexter, your mother was killed and your brother was a psycho, I'm here fore ya".

Dexter has to die or get caught at the end of the 8th season. Any other conclusion is just a copout (please no Silence of the Lambs ending) and obviously they are holding out for future movies.

Your right, it was just too obvious.

It won't be the "biggest" twist - it's quite obvious they are setting up an "oh ****" moment. But that makes this season very meh IMO.

When the Rita reveal happened, no one was focused on that - they were focused on Trinity.

This season everyone is waiting for the gellar/travis line to be over so they can "get to the good stuff." Equates to this season being worthless and just a setup for a good story.

Re: Dexter (Season 6)

All I have to say is they better not Entourage this show. That will piss me off beyond belief. I'm still sour as hell about that mess.

What happened with Entourage?

I gotta say there have been times this season when it seems like Dex is on Xanax or Valium. Not only by his actions, but also his demeanor. Is it just me or does it seem like he's slumbering, almost robotic sometimes?

However, minus the Popsicle Gellar and Little Hanks boredom, I have liked this season. I even like the cliche bromance between Angel and Quinn.

I wonder if I'm getting to "guilty pleasure" territory.

I hope like Rita makes a comeback as a ghost or something similar to Harry.

If she comes back as a ghost we have a whole new show.

Yeah but how can you really like the season if you're bored by the main villains. They have been the main focus of the season so it's hard to say you're bored by them but entertained by the season.

Like someone said it looks like they are just an excuse to pass the time so they can provide a cliffhanger in the last episode. Reminds me of the 3rd season where that Skinner killer was hardly fleshed out but just used as a villain as an excuse for a slight diversion to the last episode before Dexter got married since Jimmy Smits was already offed the episode before that.

I totally agree on the portrayel of Dexter now is just off. He seems like a different person and all of the character growth of the past 5 seasons has been thrown away and they are just portraying him as shallow and colourless. I know they got a new head writer this year so it looks like the new guy didn't even watch the show the past 3 or 4 years and is just making things up as he goes along with Dexter's character traits.

BTW how many people has Dex had on his kill table this year like they used to? The 2 paramedics don;t really count as it was right at the beginning so it was rushed thru, the reunion guy and the old guy (which easily is the best episode this year because it was how the show used to be). So really 2 fleshed out kills, that's easily an all time low for a season.

the old guy (which easily is the best episode this year because it was how the show used to be)

Thought I was the only one that liked that episode, had fairly negative reviews here yet I found it to be so far the best episode this season. (maybe best since season 4, I can't be sure though) Although Dexter had a gun to his head he didn't do anything careless, perhaps a tad aggressive but he's done that many times before.

The old man ep was my favorite this season. Classic Dexter.
