"He can't. Harry's Code won't let him. Unless she goes off the deep end and starts killing people. "

My memory is hazy on this one...but I feel like he's slipped on this part of the "code" before. I want to say he's taken one or two "innocent" lives over the course of this show...but I could definitely be wrong.

"I'm ok with last week's because it clearly showed his compulsion to complete the ritual which he wasn't able to do with Travis. Deb ran herself to death on her treadmill to blow off steam and kind of clear her head...for Dexter he needs to go through the ritual."

Maybe I missed some of his inner-dialogue, but I didn't get that it was about completing what he started. Which would be OK with me. But I'm OK with it either way since this particular kill will play into the rest of the season it seems.


^ yeah, he definitely has killed an innocent person a time or two as part of his ritualistic killing, although mistakenly so. And he killed the ex-cop/private detective guy (Liddy). I don't recall anyone else who didn't fit his "guilty" requirement.

could have sworn Trinity's daughter killed him

I think you're referring to Lumen, who is not Trinity's daughter. If not, I'm not sure who you're referring to exactly. Either way, Dexter killed Liddy in Liddy's van. Quinn actually pulled up just as it happened and tried to open the van, but it was looked.

Oscar Prado


Camilla Figg - she was his friend. Poisoned key lime pie.


John Farrow - Photographer that looked guilty, but it was actually his assistant.


Rankin - Dude in the bathroom right after Rita died. Although he deserved it - ""Well I'm sorry for your loss, But your dead wife can suck my dick!"


Stan Liddy

Camilla should be thrown off that list, it wasn't really one of his rituals. No slide, and if I recall correctly at first he didn't even want to do it.

Prado and Farrow were the only clear innocents that Dexter killed, although mistakenly.

Wasn't Liddy tied up in a lot of shady shit? I could have sworn that his actions while he was a cop led to someone getting killed...which would have put blood on his hands enough to satisfy his code.

But of course random guy was random....but he was a dick and deserved it

10/3/2012 7:42:05 AM

I just saw Dexter's new girlfriend Morgan MacGregor. He must be an ass man cause he sure likes surfboards. [/girls with low self-esteem]

10/3/2012 10:22:26 AM

What about Doakes? My memory is a bit hazy but he was pretty much innocent, wasn't he?

10/5/2012 12:15:50 PM

Lila killed Doakes by setting that hut on fire I'm pretty sure...so that Dex wouldn't get busted. It's what made Dexter able to off her in the final episode, 'cause she crossed that line.

10/5/2012 12:38:50 PM

ah, forgot it wasn't really him who did the deed.

10/5/2012 12:40:43 PM

oh wait

I was thinking Liddy was the old guy that Deb was dating...cant remember his name

nvm



dont forget Dexter killed that guy in Nebraska with the pitch fork

Lundy is the guy Deb dated

10/5/2012 10:53:09 PM

well at least the names are close lol

10/5/2012 10:54:08 PM

i can't wait for Dexter to give Deb his hot beef injection

10/6/2012 4:23:27 PM

I know we aren't supposed to ask these questions anymore but where the fuck is Harrison all the time? Is that one chick working 24/7 now? I know he goes to school but why wouldn't he bring his fucking child with him to Debs place?

As much as I wanted Deb to find out, this storyline is a bit old already.

10/13/2012 1:11:00 PM

haha, that was the first thing I thought when he was at Deb's. "uhh, wait... where's his KID?"

10/13/2012 5:07:59 PM

and yet getting rid of Astor and Cody was one of the better things that came out of seasons 5/6

I'm rarely wondering where Harrison is

[Edited on October 13, 2012 at 10:14 PM. Reason : .]

10/13/2012 10:14:30 PM

eh, that's considerably different. Getting rid of astor and cody made sense because Rita was dead, and they went to live with their grandparents. That made sense within the plot. Not seeing Harrison when Dexter is at work and killing is one thing. but it's a little odd when he is going to bed for the night at someone else's house when it was planned. Is he the babysitter going to stay with Harrison 24/7 at Dexter's apartment now just because Dexter is staying with Deb? That would be stupid.

10/14/2012 1:29:42 AM

Harrison is no longer a plot device in the season, so who cares.

10/14/2012 1:16:53 PM

Harrison is pretty important

when software designer dude patted him on the head, that might've sealed his death

10/14/2012 1:55:33 PM

^ exactly. If Harrison is not important or is not a "plot device", you can't pan to this big douchebag who Dexter doesn't like making a point to pat his son on the head to piss him off further.

I don't necessarily care if they ignore Harrison altogether. But to suggest that introducing this major thing into the story, something that has driven a fair amount of Dexter's character development over the past couple of seasons, and then simply acting like it doesn't exit is OK writing is silly. Dexter is not meant to be episodic. It's not even contained season to season... or else this LaGuerta/Doaks, ice truck killer, stuff wouldn't work. So just because Harrison hasn't been a major factor yet this season doesn't mean he's not a major factor in the show.

10/14/2012 2:56:05 PM

That was a really good episode!

10/14/2012 10:26:28 PM

So who is gonna find louis' blood on dexters boat?

well, so much for that theory.

about cut the episode off after the second "dexter slits someone's throat in his mind" move

10/15/2012 2:22:15 AM

10/15/2012 9:54:54 AM

^^^ I don't get it.

Are you referring to Louis being killed, and suggesting that that has anything to do with what I said regarding Harrison and how the writers/director used his character in the previous episode?

[Edited on October 15, 2012 at 6:27 PM. Reason : just confused/curious]

10/15/2012 6:23:10 PM

i dont think Harrison needs to be a major character

but I do think Louis patting him on the head made you think "oh shit, thats gonna be the final straw that gets Dexter to kill Louis" then obviously the Russian mob does their thing

10/15/2012 6:40:10 PM

ah, I see. I'm not sure if that's what Specter thought or not, but that's not what I took from that scene necessarily. And that really wasn't my point about Harrison and his involvement in the overall story in the past to now, and the lazy writing.

That being said, that incident (Louis being at his apartment and patting Harrison after the warning) actually did send Dexter over the edge. If you recall, it was after that incident that Dexter was going to kill him, but called Deb instead and then left Louis on the bench at the beach. Instead, he got him fired and got Jaime to break up with him. And then Louis was going to destroy his boat, which I'm sure would have escalated things further. But the russian guys happened upon Louis and killed him (which really has nothing to do with how that scene made Dexter feel about Louis, but merely made it impossible for Dexter to be the one who killed him... again, has nothing to do with Dexter's feelings, intentions, or motives regarding Louis).

And no, Harrison doesn't need to be a big part of the plot. But he is a part of the plot and has been. To just act like he's not around now, except when it's extremely convenient, is lazy writing imo.

10/15/2012 6:54:06 PM

that's a shitty marina. people can sabotage your boat and commit murder in broad daylight. where are the cameras?

wasn't there an episode a few seasons back where he had to move his boat to this marina because it was slack in the security?

10/16/2012 10:05:11 AM

yeah. he doesnt want his boat in a place thats gonna record him coming and going late at night with trash bags full of dead people.

10/16/2012 10:49:32 AM

I'm digging Stevenson as a kind of big bad this season

Plus it was awesome seeing Sarah Walker getting Dexter all flustered, and I have a theory that her character was much more involved with those murders than she or the convict dude let on. Wouldn't surprise me if she was the mastermind/sadist of that duo.

10/16/2012 10:58:01 AM

I wouldn't be surprised if Cody comes back sooner or later, that kid loved Dexter. And it might not matter, but he's a major part of the books as well.

I thought it was a solid/good episode, didn't see Louis' death coming so soon in the season, I really have no idea where the season is going to end up now. I never thought Deb could understand Dexter, and I'm still not sure if she really does.

10/16/2012 1:58:17 PM

10/22/2012 1:55:56 AM

ha

10/23/2012 7:51:00 AM

I hope Cody comes back as a serial killer like Dexter.

10/23/2012 10:16:59 AM

Of Dexter, the Walking Dead, and Boardwalk Empire, I'm currently finding Dexter to be the most entertaining.

10/23/2012 10:23:24 AM

^^^^ I loled so hard at that, best part of the episode by far

10/27/2012 11:07:26 PM

I doubt they will, but I hope they don't start treating Deb and Dexter's relationship as it was before simply because "(she) doesn't want to know anymore." This season has been a good change of pace. Again, I don't think they will, I just wouldn't be surprised based on past writing.


Destroying the picture and leaving it at that is stupid. That woman printed those pictures, Dexter needs to destroy the master copy.

10/29/2012 12:59:14 AM

This is very season 2, I like it a lot. I still think all the kids are gonna play a big role somehow. It was kinda tough to watch Battista lose his respect for Deb like that, she totally pulled a "LaGuerta."

10/29/2012 8:40:04 PM

that ep was fucking crazy good

10/29/2012 10:38:08 PM

yep, good episode

wonder if one of Isaak's henchmen kills Harrison in the season finale or something, to get back at him

also, Deb's rack looked like a full B-cup in the parking garage scene

10/30/2012 3:16:35 AM

^ I noticed that too. She also looks like she's put on a couple around the waistline. I kind of dig curvier Deb

Also like the exchange between Sara Walker (she will ALWAYS be Sarah Walker) and Dexter. Hope they keep her around a while since she sort of validates Dexter's tendencies while Deb shuns them. I guess that's the point though.

All in all I like Stevenson more and more every episode.

10/30/2012 7:14:56 AM

Easily the best season since the Trinity killer. Really a huge step up from seasons 5 and 6.

10/30/2012 11:26:52 AM

I agree, great episode. And that it's been a much better season so far than the last two even though I have a feeling I'll be disappointed with how it ends.

also I think I might be the only person in the world that hated season 2. I couldn't stand Lila's grill and the fact that Doakes went out like that. RIP MOTHERFUCKA

10/30/2012 10:06:04 PM

season 2 was the best season. This is definitely feeling like season 2 though, its exciting again.

11/4/2012 11:20:39 AM

Another good episode. It really highlights how not so great the last couple of seasons have been, but I'm glad this season is good.
