    Re: Dexter (Season 7)

    This last episode was going OK but the ending was very weak and if this is the direction they're going then this may not go as well as i hoped. I don't want the Bonnie and Clyde thing, kinda pointless. It's been done twice already. Not sure why they feel that Dexter needs a love interest at this point. There's more than enough going on that it isn't necessary because it tends to muddle things up and takes away from the main storylines.

    There was nothing about Hannah that should have caused Dexter to become a horn dog. She was a run of the mill killer that Dexter has executed many times before. There were alot of past killers he's taken out that were more interesting personalities. Yeah she's pretty hot (didn't get really excited about a possible boob shot, she's an A cup, you see bigger tits on national geographic) but I remember that female cop he murdered being pretty hot too.

    And sex is the last thing dexter seems to care about. In the 1st season he said he was too emotionally detached to enjoy sex very much and that was the reason he went out with Rita because she didn't want to be intimate at the beginning because of her bad marriage.

    It just makes no sense that he wouldn't kill her. His conscious would have to do a complete 180 for him to be with her knowing that she's a cold blooded murderer. He felt totally detached from her the whole time and then he has a change of heart because she says do what you gotta do? Dexter keeps lecturing to himself that he won't make the same mistake of not killing someone when he has the chance but guess what? He did it again.

    And what's with the snow thing. She had years to go see that place and she never bothered to visit? Or take a trip to Vermont in January? And these cops have to be the stupidest cops ever if that can't make connection with all these similar deaths with people close to Hannah especially one who has her as the beneficiary. No wonder Bautista wants to retire, he's working with a bunch of morons. And Quinn? totally lame storyline.

    The season is starting to waver a bit for me because it seems to be stumbling in the same places again.

      You said it. I did not like this development at all. The bad thing is it will dominate this season unless it's dealt with in a hurry.

        I'm pretty sure she will be there for the duration of this season at least. if he didn't kill her now then he won't the next show or 2. Like I said she's a hottie but her character is pretty generic.

            Wouldn't be a season of Dexter if they didn't do something SS didn't like.

              You really find it riveting television when they start recycling storylines and Quinn is willing to jeopardize absolutely everything, including having a mobster released who will end up killing many more people as a result, for a stripper he's been banging for 2 weeks? That's pretty weak to me.

              I loved the first part of this season but that ending just has me dreading what they have planned for the rest of the season. I think Issac is a fantastic villain and deserves to be front and centre but now we have Dexter in heat because of Hannah and she ends up being the main antogonist in the end.

              Dexter works best alone and the thing with Deb and now Laguerta should keep him busy. I fear they are going to focus on this stupid Hannah thing and Issac will have some generic and lame ending because the writers are too busy shoehorning in the Bonnie and Clyde crap. Kinda like season 2 where Doakes death was anti climatic (and should have been saved for the very end instead of him dying the 3rd last show) because they were busy concentrating on the Lila crap and did the generic kidnap the children plot.

                Wasn't actually commenting on any of your actual criticisms. Most of them seemed valid for your tastes and in your opinion.

                Just know that NOW it's a real season of Dexter exhaust they've done something you didn't like. I was getting worried there from all your praise for the season so far.

                And this is different enough from Lila/Lumen that its still fine for me. Most shows recycle plots at some point, but Yvonne and her character are infinitely more appealing and interesting than the Ls were.

                I don't know if you watch the previews for the coming weeks, so Ill refrain from talking about anything involved in those.

                  It is different from Lumen, but I don't know why they are going there.

                  Some kind of lust angle or she gets him or a bit of both?

                  It might be that I wasn't crazy about the character in the first place.

                    Because its a pretty interesting character development for Dexter when it happens. We've seen him fail with a real relationship, we've seen him fail with another sociopath, and we've seen him fail with a damaged person....what about another killer? Lila wasn't a killer (she killed, yes, but that's different in this show), just another sociopath...what about another killer who has the exact same urges and exact same desires? It's a little twist on the "Can Dexter ever be happy?" story line. Doubt it works, but at least it's slightly different.

                    Partially just lust (we know Dexter funds sex more appealing than he did in that first season) an partially that she not only gets him but is exactly like him.

                    I get why people don't like it, I just do. It seems like Isak and Deb/LaGuerta/Price will all still be the focus on finding Deb, but this works to further Dexs character along with drive another wedge between Dex and Deb.

                      I get the impression she's killing for personal gain or finding it romantic rather than personal urges. She killed with her BF because she was young and very influenced by him and found running from the law exciting and thrilling. And she killed the husband and old lady for financial gain. if she had impulses then you figure she would have poisoned alot more people by now. And I would think poisoning is the last thing she would do because it doesn't give her a thrill like it does for Dexter when he puts a knife in someone because she's not doing the physical act of killing.

                      That's my problem with that character. They don't really specify what type of killer she is because her kills contradict it. She kills strangers with a knife but then slowly poisons people close to her for financial gain. Usually you're one type of killer or another, not a little bit of everything. makes it even more perplexing why Dexter would be in any way attracted to her because she was a mindless follower when she was young and then killed for money as an adult. What would Dexter find intriguing about that? If it's just physical attraction then I guess Dexter is alot more shallower than we thought.

                      Hannah just seems hastily thrown together by the writers at the last minute for a love interest because maybe they thought Isaac wasn't enough as a villain or an easy way to get more people to watch by putting a hottie in there. She's a mishmash of conflicting character traits with a nice ***.

                      It was fine if she was there for a few shows, (or even an earlier season but there are only 18 shows left so I don't like them wasting time with recycled stuff) and then offed but now it looks like she'll be the main focus the rest of the way and she is way too dull for that especially compared to Issac. And I don't watch trailers because it ruins the fun. Would rather be suprised so I can't comment on those.

                        Im torn between this recent episode.
                        Isaac is still amazing, I still hate Quinn, but I am loving the intensity and thoroughness shown by Laguerta and Deb.

                          I was torn on it as well up until the end. Such a great set-up.

                          I still don't fully understand why Dexter ever allowed Hannah to live and on some level it's frustrating because it goes back to the past season where so many dumb decisions were being made (although I think that there was a reason for most of those mistakes, which is them being what leads to Dexter getting caught IMO). But now with them setting up Dexter having to choose between Deb and Hannah -- who apparently is someone he might actually love for the first time (strange because I thought he felt that way about Lumen as well but I guess not?) -- this storyline just got really interesting.

                          As for Quinn, I think him handing over that money to Bautista means that he's gonna be offed pretty soon. I could be wrong but I just feel like one or maybe even two of the secondary characters are going to be killed by the time this season ends.

                            Man the series is so tense this year...love it

                            I'm so happy they killed off the writer, Debs relationship stories have always been 'meh' for me...glad they nipped it in the bid.

                            I like to think of Dexters recklessness & impulsiveness as the way the world has changed him over the past few seasons...while its made him more human, it's messed up the safety blanket of of the code.

                            Either way, can't wait until the next episode. What exactly was LaGuerta looking at with Dexters name on it?
