First episode-last season, he murders a guy in the bathroom with an anchor (pissed off because the guy says something about dead Rita). Harry tells him that he is finally acting human.

That's right, I think he said she could blow him or something like that.

Jeez fucking next-week-on-dexter spoilers. Showtime makes those way too revealing, for homeland too.

11/12/2011 2:02:07 AM

I don't remember seeing trinity's son. I'm not sure why he's being mentioned.

^ that's why I stopped watching previews for TV shows a long time ago.

11/12/2011 8:13:47 AM

^He was in the preview for tomorrow night's episode.

Because sometimes they'll remind you of something out of left field and clue you in to something that will happen.

11/14/2011 9:07:19 AM

the brian stabbing/dexter stabbing shot was pretty great.


so hmmm, maybe Geller is real after the whore incident. She didn't exactly use definitive language, like she didn't claim hearing Geller speak or anything, but hmmm.

This episode only affirmed my belief that Gellar is in the dude's head. Too many parallels slapping me in the face. Like the fact that Brian is obviously dead, and yet Dexter sees him constantly (not even like the sporadic Harry visions). A couple instances (including the pitchfork scene) where Brian "interacted" with the real world like we see Gellar doing in his prep work.

11/14/2011 2:03:00 PM

The girl said she heard two people though when she was tied up.

11/15/2011 8:39:16 AM

And "NEXT WEEK ON DEXTER" SPOILERS:



















































In the "next week on dexter" preview, dexter says something like "He has a dark passenger too, only his can be killed."

Don't know if he's just guessing or if he sees Geller.

11/15/2011 8:43:57 AM

I think they made it seem so obvious he was fake early on and by bringing back Brian to draw a parallel so we'd be surprised to find out he was actually real.

11/15/2011 8:51:50 AM

The pen from the motel is gonna fuck him over.

11/15/2011 12:50:49 PM

Yea, they definitely made it a point to focus on the pen. I'm surprised how non concerned he is about Trinity's kid knowing that he Trinity.

True, but it's not a stretch to think that he'd use a different voice when he was "Gellar"

11/15/2011 2:10:25 PM

Plus, Dexter just thinks that Geller is real. No one has seen the guy

I wish Dexter's brother stuck around more than one show, he was pretty fun

11/15/2011 2:47:05 PM

I hope other characters start showing up, like Doakes, Lila, Rita

11/18/2011 4:59:10 PM

storyline might start to get stale

but i think they've done a good job this season, even though they've had to rely a little bit on past characters

but ultimately i'd rather have them renew for a couple seasons, knowing in all likelihood Dexter will remain out of prison and off the radar, than have them not renew, and us go ahead and speculate about how it will all end for our protagonist

11/19/2011 10:43:34 AM

^ I don't think I could disagree with that last part any more.

11/19/2011 11:23:44 AM

i'd rather eat shit than starve

11/19/2011 11:31:10 AM

I like speculating about the show which is why it sucks now and why it's been in a decline for a while. It's formulaic and if you're worried it might get stale, why would you prefer to know it'll be another two years of the same stuff?

Something major needs to happen for the last few seasons to be interesting, like Deb finding out.

11/19/2011 12:04:06 PM

^ agreed.

I don't get it. Unless they say "the series will end in 2 seasons, and that's final", renewing is simply delaying the thing you want to avoid, not changing it. They need to know it's going to end for the writers to have any sort of conclusion.

Personally, I'm not sure I would even want them to know it's going to end. How many big shows have had successful finales? I can only think of one (maybe two) ways in which the last season could go which I'd be happy with it. A lot of intended finales are kind of stupid and can't possibly "wrap up" a show that has been on for 5 or 6 years.


The show is formulaic ("monster" of the season combined with "killer" of every 2-3 episodes). And character growth has not been extensive. I do still enjoy it, but I'm not quite as interested as I was a few seasons ago. I watch because I have time invested and want to know where it goes, and it's it's not as enjoyable as it once was for me, it's still not bad by any means.

11/19/2011 2:33:47 PM

I dunno, I still enjoy each show. From watching the show over the last 5+ seasons, you kind of grow accustomed to Dexter always getting out of any jam he gets into, so you as a viewer innately learn to assume that Dexter will never get caught. So I think we all have that viewpoint to an extent just from seeing him get out of any predicament thats been thrown at him.

But it sounds like the most disappointing "spoiler" ITT is the fact that the show has been renewed for 2 more seasons.

11/19/2011 3:07:07 PM

some good foreshadowing that if deb does find out she will think dexter is going to silence and kill her from her conversation with travis' sister, unless she thinks gellar and not travis did it, and until she finds out they are one and the same

11/21/2011 9:59:14 AM

YAWN

11/21/2011 10:03:47 AM

According to Deadline, Showtime had offered M.C.H. $20 million for two more seasons, but the star wanted $24 million. No word yet on what number they reached, but thankfully they were able to iron out the details.

Man, considering giving up the chance to make $20 million in two years for an extra $4 million. I was surprised to see he made that much for a showtime show.

11/21/2011 1:48:54 PM

i wonder if that elliot search engine the intern showed dexter is something he made and is way for him to see what dexter searches? or maybe i'm reading too deep.

[Edited on November 21, 2011 at 3:43 PM. Reason : .]

11/21/2011 3:42:36 PM

If he gets the 24mil then he'll pretty much be making a mil per episode

11/21/2011 4:13:59 PM

I think Deb will find out this season. I think it's time. If they wait any longer then Deb is going to stop trusting her brother and start questioning him, and she'll eventually grow suspicious. If she doesn't find out this season, then they'll wait until the very last season for her to find out and once she does she'll either kill him or throw him in jail.

[Edited on November 22, 2011 at 1:20 PM. Reason : sdf]

11/22/2011 1:18:36 PM

yeah just sucks that he's being a dick to her before they build up to that

11/22/2011 1:19:29 PM

I think it ends by him accidentally killing somebody who didn't "deserve it" according to the code and realizing he needs to kill himself.

11/22/2011 2:11:14 PM

i dont know how a suicide would go over with the audience

clearly deb loves harrison and has said that he is her family and would take care of him but deb is also unstable emotionally and i wouldn't like seeing the show end with her caring for harrison and dexter dead

we had an ice truck killer and trinity camo... i wonder if the step kids will make another cameo. honestly i could do without seeing them again and think they pretty much wrapped that up.

11/22/2011 6:19:13 PM

^^ @aimmorris, he already did that in season 4. He killed a photographer he was sure was guilty but it tured out to be the guys assistant.

11/22/2011 10:11:07 PM

Anyone else feel like the darkness of the first couple seasons has seem to be absent? Not Dexter's darkness but the overall feel of the show.

11/23/2011 2:48:35 PM

^^ yeah, my wife mentioned that to me when I proposed the idea the other night. Well, maybe he'll accidentally kill somebody like Deb or something that really hits him hard, I dunno.

I just can't see it ending with him sitting in a jail. A happily ever after ending would feel so out of place too.

Be sure to watch after the credits.

Also, I'm pretty hurt by the way they wrote/handled the IP address thing.

11/27/2011 9:57:03 PM

god what an unbelievably bad and disappointing episode.

11/28/2011 2:42:27 AM

I was a little disappointed that I was right all along...was secretly hoping Gellar was real

11/28/2011 7:21:42 AM

was kind of disappointing

interested to see how it all plays out though

11/28/2011 2:25:27 PM

im glad they finally "revealed" that gellar was dead and they weren't saving such a predictable twist for the season finale

11/28/2011 2:42:59 PM

That was the scariest episode in a long time, all that not knowing who was stalking whom. So the intern has the prosthetic arm, I'm not sure what to make of that.
