That would really be the only way to make sense of it all at this point lol

Re: Dexter (Season 6)
If Deb somehow accepts Dexter as he is because she's horny then that is so out there even for this show. Even an idiot like her is gonna figure out he was the Bay Harbour Butcher, even if he doesn't admit it, and that means he set up and caused the death of her colleague Doakes. How is she supposed to brush that under the rug?
They had the right thing going with the therapist but totally ****ed the execution up. They should have had Deb suspect Dex from her sessions and then follow him around and then finally catch him in the act. Instead she catches him because she wanted to have a booty call with him.
The absence of plastic at the kill scene still has me thinking it might be a dream sequence or Dexter somehow talks his way out of it and convinces Deb it was a one time thing and the reveal will be forgotten by the end of the 1st episode next year.Comment

Re: Dexter (Season 6)
Couldn't agree more. Damn.
You've obviously never read the books. They handle this situation perfectly. Hopefully the show actually follows suit for once.
I liked the season - wasn't the best (and is probably my least favorite), but it did what it was supposed to do: finally have Dexter come to grips with himself after two seasons of back-and-forth thinking about who he was (with Trinity in season four as he's trying to figure out how to be a father/husband/family man and a serial killer, and then in five when he finally thinks he can share his secret with someone only to be left once again) and then have it blow up in his face with the Deb situation. Set up for the final two seasons nicely, with the Dexter/Deb situation and the intern.Last edited by Beantown; 12-19-2011, 11:29 PM.Comment

Re: Dexter (Season 6)
I know a lot of people were all grossed out about the whole Deb and Dexter thing but to me it made sense to me why she has these deep feelings for him. Dexter's a father figure to her.
She doesn't know her real parents, was adopted, loses adoptive mom, loses dad when she's young, goes out with a serial killer that almost killed her, goes out with an old FBI guy who is later killed, and her friend who is also her sister in law is killed. Also this season she's dealt with Quinn and their relationship, her new responsibility as being the new boss. Honestly, I don't know how Deb is not crazy by now especially being shot at having blood cover her all up this season.
She obviously very confused and why its good that she's in therapy to reveal whats going on with her to find out the meaning behind it. I don't think she or the show has ever intended to cross that incest line but to me this whole Deb/Dex incest thing wasn't there just for shock value but to let us know how deep her emotions are for him.
Now Deb has the biggest conflict, does she follow her morals and be good police, or can she keep a secret to protect the brother she loves so much.
Even though this season was a little disappointed with some poor writing, this conflict next year is going to be great TV.
Here's what I think can happen next season: Roles are going to reverse everywhere and when its all said and done, Dexter will be hunted by the intern but the intern will be dead by the end of the season, but not by Dexter but by Deb.

Oh, I agree with the main point about it not being as creepy as some people make i seem.
They're not related by blood at all and he has saved her life multiple times, has been there through some serious traumas and has been the only steady guy in her life. Sounds totally unrealistic that she'd fall in love with him.....Comment

You might try and justify that way but that's a complete reach. It's nothing more than a cheap soap opera twist that totally ruined the dynamic between the 2 main characters. One thing I liked about the show was the brother\sister relationship was done very realistically and now they totally ruined it and are using this incest angle as a goofy justification as to why she won't turn him in.
I don't know how the book handles Deb knowing but I bet the reveal will be handled somewhere along these lines (ie:copout):
Deb confronts him, Dex says he was at the church doing his sweep and a naked Travis attacked him with a knife and Dex got the best of him and knocked him out. Then he tied him to the table to and was about to call the cops but Travis started talking **** about all the people he killed, maybe that included Brother Sam, so Dexter says he lost it and impulsively kills him. He knows he should have called the cops but some people just deserve to die and he promises never to do it again. And Deb buys it. And I bet Deb tells him to go see her shrink to deal with murdering someone and he does to shut her up and then discovers his incestuous feelings for Deb. And it's all basically done in one episode before they go on to a new serial killer in Miami.
That would explain out of all the kill rooms Dexter has had, this was the 1st one that had no plastic wrap on the floor, for conveniece sakes because that would have indicated a ritual killing.
Either that or Deb is so shocked she slips and falls and gets amnesia and forgets everything which unfortunately is very possible with these brain dead writers.

Re: Dexter (Season 6)
personally I don't find the adopted siblings deal too out of place on the show. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but the first episode of Dexter, he talks about how the only person he ever thought he could have feelings for was Deb, and it kind of implied that Dexter had some interest. I also got the same vibe from the first book. I could definitely be wrong, but I remember getting that kind of vibe when I first started watching/reading.Comment

I interpreted his "feelings for Deb" comment in the beginning to mean that if he felt any emotion or emotional connection whatsoever it would be with Deb. So I took at as basic human feelings rather than romantic.
I never read the books though either.
I really hope they find a way to right the ship though and at least end it strong. I actually had forgotten about the Brother Sam stuff from earlier in the season, I liked that and that alone might push this season just above 5 for me (I might actually rewatch the series the whole way thru)
The thing that may have irritated me the most though, as I think someone else noted, is that the entire season they had Dexter becoming increasingly sloppy with his kills, and in Deb's sessions with the therapist I kept expecting for something to finally click where she realizes "holy crap, dexter is up to something" but in the end the reveal had absolutely nothing to do with any of that and was simply a result of Dexter foolishly hosting a kill room where people knew he'd be and Deb going over there for completely irrelevant reasons to reveal her feelings. So frustratingComment

Why would Dexter ever assume that Deborah was going to show up at the church? The main kills always happen in a place that matters do the church was the only place that Dexters Dark Passenger would've been satisfied killing Travis.
Deb to him to go check it out, se didn't say she'd join him or tell her when so I really don't see that being a real valid way of saying Dex is getting sloppy. There are better examples of that.Comment

Re: Dexter (Season 6)
The writers/producers have said Dexter is getting "sloppy" for a reason:
(From the link posted a page ago):
“It’s not about some mano a mano thing between Dexter and Trinity (John Lithgow), Dexter and Lila (Jamie Murray), or Dexter and another character; it’s something that has repercussions,” Colleton says, noting that Dexter is playing it “cards up” because of the scale of Travis’ plan. “He’s working in conjunction with Miami Metro rather than on his own. He’s doing everything in his power to make Miami Metro and Deb bring in the Doomsday Killer, rather than wanting to hide information from them so he can have that pleasure to himself. This year is very much a change of character in that he’s working with them. He realizes it’s too big and he can’t risk the collateral damage.”
Which would explain Dexter’s very un-Dexter-like sloppiness this season in having sent Travis a video message and calling in an anonymous tip without disguising his voice. “Everything eventually will catch up with Dexter,” Colleton says.Originally posted by bradtxmale
