Holy shit guys. I bought the first 3 seasons on Amazon and got them like last Thursday or Friday and I'm already up to season 3 episode 10 (Dexter just got kidnapped).
I enjoyed it so much by last Saturday that I went to Best Buy and bought season 4. I should be completely caught up by Friday. Good shit. PS I think Deb has a horse face. |

Just finished season 4.
Unfortunately somebody spoiled me on the big reveal at the very end of the season, so I knew it was coming. It was still a good season, but it didn't excite me as much as it should have since I knew the endgame the whole time. |

I just saw the trailer for season 5. I really hope they don't drag it out too long. This should be the last season, seems like the perfect spot for an ending, with Dexter receiving more scrutiny than he ever has. One thing I am annoyed about is that every season, Dexter has killed the bad guy at the end of the season, like clockwork. Its a bit predictable. |

I'm wondering if it will be. The books continue on, afaik. |
I prefer to see a show jump the shark before I say it should be the last season. I just can't let go that easily...

Just watched the Thanksgiving at Arthur's house. Holy shit! Didn't see that coming.

Yeah, John Lithgow won an emmy for his performance as Arthur. He's great.
|
When I heard he was going to be the main villian last season, I figured it was going to be a great season....It exceeded my expectations.
|
Just seeing the trailer for season 5, I think it will be the best season.
|
I'm pretty sure I saw they were green lighted for six seasons. I would think that would be it.
|
I think I'm gonna have to break down and order Showtime.

Great show. Love it.
|
Dexter somehow got a lot darker!
|
If you notice, he's wearing a wig because this was filmed while he was bald because of his chemotherapy.
|
I thought he kind of overplayed his role in the first episode. It almost reminded me of Stallone in Rocky II, playing him as if he was a reerun.
Dexter always has that flat affect, but he's a little more deceptively intelligent than that. I realize that you can say it's because of the shock and loss, and maybe it was, but relative to his character in the past, he seemed off. |
I am worried about this season. It seems to me the writers are re-hashing old story lines now. Looks like Quinn is now going to become the new Doakes...
|
I've loved this show from the beginning. This episode was pretty slow, Dexter acted like a reerun, and I just didn't buy the idea that Dexter's sister would **** Quinn while they were in the middle of cleaning up Rita's blood.
I think Dexter has jumped the shark. |

I liked it. Very dark and uncomfortable. Its what makes this show great in the first place.

The thing is you have to remember that Dexter is one sick ****. He's not like normal people. I'm glad the writers are trying to steer him away from just being a normal guy who happens to moonlight as a serial killer-serial killer. I thought the scene with him breaking the news to the kids while wearing the Mickey ears was brilliant. Nobody would do that.
|
I thought it was a very good way to start the season, especially since the showrunners of the last few seasons left.

I got around to watching to first 2 episodes. While it's off to a slow start, I still think it will develop into something good. It looks like this seasons villian is going to be the weird dude that picks up dead animals off the road. He doesn't look like much and doesn't seem very smart, so you would think that someone as skilled as Dexter would have no problem. But we'll see, maybe he's not the villian. It could be Quinn too. I can't wait to see.

Quote:
There's no way the guy who picks up dead animals will be this season's Big Bad. He's a minor character who will undoubtedly wind up on Dexter's slab next week. |
I'd bet Quinn goes on the slab before the season is over, every guy Deb ****s gets whacked.
|
Dead animal guy is cannon fodder. He'll be gone by next episode if only to let us all know that Dexter is back to his old ways. Thank Christ that Astor and Cody have gone off elsewhere (specifically Astor). The moodiness and attitude was already getting on my nerves.
The only major villain I can see is Quinn. Consider him a lesser version of Doakes....a "Diet Doakes", if you will. :) Personally, based off just two episodes, here's my big plot twist prediction:
Spoiler!

I don't think there is going to be a "big bad" this season.
|
Glad the kids went w/ their grandparents. It would have been impossible for Dexter to continue his lifestyle with them.
And Quinn needs to lay off the coke. Dude looks like he's ****ing dying of AIDS. |

I know I'm way behind the curve. But I just wanted the first 6 episodes of Season One last night.
Not half bad. Episodes 5 and 6 are maybe some of my favorite episodes of television. Like, ever. Just great, great stuff. |

So far so good. |

This season sucks so far. They are rehashing Doakes story line w/ Quinn and making stretches for story lines. A small blood splatter in a moving van happens to lead to a serial killer who happens to show up when Dexter calls animal control for help who doesn't happen to get suspicious why someone reporting a dead animal would wait around.
Just dumb so far. I guess that's what happens when the executive producers that made this show what it is resigned after last season. |

I still have high hopes for the season, they typically start slow. |

Even though Doakes really had to die, I hated to see him leave the show. |

The reveal of the identity of The Ice Truck Killer was outstanding. Did NOT see that coming. Not by a long shot. And I'm usually pretty good at calling shit like that.
Well done, Dexter. Well done. On a side note: Has anyone here read the books? Are they worth checking out? How similiar are they to the series? |
Quote:
I'm into the second book now, but the first is quite good. |
Quote:
Thanks, man. I really think I'll check out (at least) the first one. The show is so interesting. |

I'll definately finish up Season One tonight... and I may start Season Two if I have enough time. |
Well that was interesting. Things are picking up a bit.

I'm just not interested in this storyline. It's been done, and done better with Doakes. |
This season has not been as good as the last, but we are only three episodes in.
I would argue that Dexter is still a top 5 show right now. The writing and directing is still top notch. |
It amazes me that people still don't understand the way in which these season arcs are set up.
One thing that is going to lead to a shitload of tension throughout the rest of this season is simply how many times Dexter has ****ed up already. Killing the guy with a grappling hook and no gloves, killing Boyd without much cover and shoddily constructed kill room, now having a living witness. He's effing up bad and the noose is going to start to close. It's a slow burn, and there's nothing wrong with that. |
Quote:
It's just BS. We all know Dexter isn't going to get caught. Maybe for the series finale but the series finale is not this season. |
Well, that took a very interesting turn. Like others, I don't like the Quinn obsession with Dexter. But I am intrigued by the victim turning killer to get revenge angle that this appears to be heading to.
|
The Quinn storyline is ****ing reeruned. I really like the rest of it, though.
|
Quinn is gonna get Doakes'd
|
Quote:
|
all of this shit is gonna come back to haunt him. I don't mind the Quinn storyline since Dexter works with a bunch of detectives and their job in life is to detect shit, so it's natural that another detective might be on to him.
|
Masuka's tatoo ROFL
|
masuka's leopard thong was more funny to me. ****ing seriously?
|
Masuka is awesome. He's one of the main reasons I still watch the show.
|
As always, the slow burn is building into a really good season (IMO). It lacks the epic feeling of seasons 1 and 4 b/c of the lack of a formidable single foe, but I like the development of Lumen's character as well as the possibility of that cocksucking Robocop mother****er getting sliced and diced.
|
Agreed. Maybe Quinn is sticking around after all.
