I also like the fact that they returned LaGuerta back to her relentlessly political **** self that she was for the first two seasons. Yes, it's nice to humanize the ass-kissing boss to an extent, but it's not like she'd truly evolved as a person.

Combine that with the numerous mistakes Dexter has made this year, and you have a hell of a lot of seeds that are already planted for a hunt in season six.

Unless the hotel was checked out under Lumen's name (and Dex doesn't have an alias with a CC), that broken door coupled with Cole's disappearance will raise some questions.

I wondered about that, as well. Surely, he checked under an alias.

It was Kyle Butler ;)

Well that would be bad. ROFL

BTW, how did that detective that is working for Quinn get the pics from above? Was on Dex's boat? Was on something nearby? WTF?

My first thought as well. I doubt very seriously that Dexter dumps bodies 500 yards from shore

I think he only had pictures of them loading the luggage onto the boat, not dumping anything.

This season is really starting to peak for me. Last night was intense at the end.

hoooooly ****. that's all I have to say right now. holy ****.

Started off bad, but it's getting REALLY good. Super intense.

After two episodes this season, I was convinced Dexter had jumped the shark. Now the show is as good as ever. Well, maybe not as good as season 2 when Doakes figured out that Dexter was the Bay Harbor Butcher, but still pretty doggone good.

I especially liked the part where Dexter's imaginary ghost stepdad told him that he was proud of him, and if he had known Dexter had that ability to put himself out there for other people, he'd had have taken him down a different path and not turned him into a monster.

I also think the writers did the right thing by turning LaGuerta back into a scheming bitch. I absolutely hate the subplot where she and Batista suddenly fell in love with each other and abruptly got married. That was a fucking stupid thing on an otherwise great show.

I think they're setting up for him to quit. I'm not sure I like that.

Damn, this is getting really good.

Good call.

I have mixed feelings about that. I would hate to see the series end. However, I remember how much I was rooting for Dexter last season to stop being a serial killer and live happily ever after with Rita and the kids. When Dexter found Rita's dead body in the finale, I was shocked and saddened.

I think that shows the genius of the writers and Michael C. Hall himself. They've got us so heavily invested in the Dexter character and rooting for the serial killer so much that we want him to be happy even if it means the end of the series.

Fixed.

weak episode overall, except for the very ending. ok season.

Tick tock, tick tock that's the sound of your life running out.

Disagree, I thought it was a great episode.

So much to wrap up in just 2 episodes!

No kidding!

Julia styles had her first white guy in 15 years. LOL

It is, but not overtly. I'm not terribly worried about Robocop.

Lzen is correct. He finds out.

Alot of ways they can go here with the last 2 episodes.

Gonna be a great home stretch.

Yeah, I have though about that. I'm not sure how that would play out. I'm thinking that he will find out something about robocop or robocop will do something that makes him worthy of being killed. I dunno. Surely, they will get rid of that annoying bastard somehow some way.

I also imagined the possibility that Robocop continues to piss off Quinn until Quinn takes him out of the picture somehow. This could either neutralize the threat Quinn poses to Dexter if Quinn gets into trouble or flees on his own accord.

I still think Quinn finds out about Dexter and gets his back somehow and keeps his secret in some regard...maybe not about the whole serial killer thing...but maybe about this "vigilante" thing and Lumen...

It's possible, but that's a testament to the quality of the writing. They have opened up so many potential avenues.

here's another one...

what if all robocop's illegal spying and bugging totally lets dexter off the hook for any crime he has committed

Well it's obvious that all of that information is totally inadmissable in a court of law, just like Doakes' breaking into his house and getting the blood slides were. That said, it would pretty much completely ruin any chance he had to continue "working" in and around Miami.

So even if it doesn't have legal repercussions, at the very least, it would kill both his careers.

or possibly Deb finds out that robocop is spying on Dexter, and she then knows Dexter's secret and destroys the evidence and she pops him.

You know that in real life he is a Professor of History at some Ivy league college?

No way they put any real threat onto Dexter. That would end the series if he's caught or he becomes a drifter on the run from the law. That doesn't work for me. Part of Dexter is this "other" life that is almost normal.

He's an intermittent prof at Syracuse, actually. Still, quite impressive.

Last night's episode left about 2 million possibilities open for the finale

They want you to think

I still wonder where they're going with the nanny angle... it seems they're setting her up as a kidnapper, as she's obviously not taken harrison to orlando.

I think #3 and 5 are most likely, but 5 more than anything. It is the first thing thought of when I saw the blood trail from her house.

I think you may be right about ....

Nah, that sounds too much like the finale of The Shield, where Vic Mackey got off the hook for all of his murders and other corrupt acts. That was kind of a letdown.

Personally I think Quinn has to die. One he knows that Liddy was checking out Dexter two if they pin Liddy on him (blood on shoe etc) he will tell everyone Liddy was on to something with Dexter.

If Quinn dies like he was killed by Jordan then it neatly wraps up the conclusion.

plus every guy Deb ****s dies.

Except for the guy she fucks in real life.

It still seems like incest.

cancer tried

Why are we putting speculation into spoiler tags? I thought that was just for inside info?

I don't see any way Dexter gets caught. You can't have Dexter get off on a technicality or after a trial or have him be on the run. All those scenerios change the show too dramatically.

Also no frigging way does Deb catch Dexter, no way the charecter on the show could let it go and be silent that her brother is a serial killer.

Deb and Dexter are a real life married couple?

correct

Good season finale.



Hate that next season is the last, but definitely looking forward to seeing how they wrap it up.

Where did you find out that the next season is the last ?

Season ended the only way it really could, I think.

I was hoping there would be more with Dexter and Deb, though.

I thought I'd read it somewhere, but now trying to find it all I see is that it is renewed for a sixth, and a possible seventh is a big question mark since several of the main cast members' contracts are up after six seasons.

Well, that was anti climactic.

yeah, there was literally one 'oh shit' moment that last episode, and it was over quickly because you kinda knew that she was gonna let them go.

Yeah but it was still better than the Quinn being Dokes part 2 and Lumen being murdered scenarios that I thought were the obvious choices.

yeah, I didn't see them doing doakes pt. 2, though lumen being killed wouldn't have shocked me (or her taking the fall).

all in all, decent season. I kinda wish they coulda kept lumen on as his partner in crime, but the redemption story was cool too.

No shit.

X2

We expect some fireworks in the Dexter finales. We put up with some slow starts of seasons for pay offs later.

No way Deb was going to catch Dexter in the act. Dexter and Deb's boyfriend needed to tangle. They had better not do a DoakesII with Deb's boyfriend. Especially if next year is the last season.

So,

Whenever the last season comes, do you want Dexter to get caught? Why or why not?

No I would want him to evolve and perhaps they set it up for his dark passenger to depart like lumens

Sent from the EVO 4G

I was hoping that would happen last season, but then they went and killed off Rita instead.

That had to be one of the best-kept secrets in television, because I was totally shocked when it happened.

I half-expected that everyone would find out that he was the Vigilante. That sounds so much better than being the Bay Harbor Butcher.

Bummer!

http://news-briefs.ew.com/2010/12/13...enter-divorce/

guess they can kill off deb now :p

season finale was weaksauce.

absolute shit.

No, would like to see a Dexter movie.

Define caught.

If you mean caught as in custody, no. If you mean caught as people close to him find out and must deal with it, yes.

This. part of me wants him to keep offing people who deserve to be offed. odd, I know, but maybe all of us love a vigilante from time to time.

I was thinking about this. I think the storyline involving Deb finding out would have been a lot better if they hadn't already done so much with her always trusting someone she shouldn't. It's a tired storyline.

So, unless someone can suggest another non-cop, who gives a good storyline dealing with the turmoil of whether or not to turn him in, I'm not sure I can stand by my statement. (I don't think Deb would be believable at this point.)

well Quin already knows Dexter killed Robocop so...

Quin knows something is up with ol' Dexy...

and you know what bothered me a bit...

the fact that Dexter helped Quin out with that blood work...I mean...that much was given...

but how does that suddenly exonerate Quin? He was most likely at the scene, Robocop's last 5 calls were all to Quin...and as soon as LaGuerta questioned him he demanded a lawyer...

uh...

what?

too many loopholes this season...WAAAAY too many

He exonerated Quinn because a guilty Quinn who has photos of him dumping bags offshore suddenly has much more of an impetus to call the validity of the spatter guy into question, as well as raising all number of other questions about Kyle Butler, putting way too much focus on a guy who is supposed to be working in the shadows.

And what Quinn did was absolutely right. He knew that he looked ****ed due to circumstantial evidence, and he had opportunity, given his presence at the scene. If they could establish a motive (as the blood would have done), he would have been ****ed.

In effect, Dexter did it to pay him off.

I know all of this...

Duh. That's what I was trying to say...

but what I meant WAS...just because it wasn't Liddy's blood on Quinn's shoe doesn't mean shit...

All of Liddy's last calls before getting killed were to Quinn...

I'm not sure how he got off the hook so easily just because the blood on his shoes wasn't a match...makes no sense to me.

Now if they decided there wasn't enough evidence I guess that's one thing...but again...too many loopholes in this damn season.

I agree. That part bugged me. They acted like everything was good and nothing had happened. Seems really strange to me.

Not to mention that all the surveillance gear was checked out in Quinn's name. Just because the blood work didn't "check out", the cops would continue to look at Quinn. It basically allowed the producers to end the season there otherwise we'd have to have 3-5 more episodes for them to tidy it up
