I loved how he was banging a cop chick within a few minutes of episode start.

Also, thanks for the obvious symbolism with the white stag. Get it? he can't kill anymore! then he's pushed into it! it's not his fault!

The first episode wasn't particularly well written. The dick shaped scar on that one guy's face was a stupid idea, for instance. I'll keep watching for now to see how it goes.

Ghost Debra is more irritating than when she was alive

Really? That upset you?

This is true. I would have preferred they left her character out of the show, but Dexter has always had an imaginary relationship with a dead relative questioning his decisions, so it makes sense.

Molitoth 11-27-2021 07:44 PM

Anyway, I'm really enjoying this season.

He explains how he tracks him down.

I really enjoyed episode 4. It was predictable, but I'll still take it.

kevrunner 12-12-2021 03:41 PM

I thought that was a good episode, Harrison is a beast on the mat.

Simply Red 12-18-2021 11:05 AM

I'm enjoying this - It really is the same old Dexter (which is a good thing)

I'm early on and haven't really seen much on the planning of the future but; I'm assuming they're ending it here after New Blood ends?

Simply Red 12-31-2021 04:51 AM

Guess CP has stopped watching Dexter New Blood?

I have tried but it's not really all that well done. Other things popped up that were better. I might go back to it.

I'm still watching. Looks like maybe he will tell Harrison everything and perhaps they will be a team. :hmmm:

KC_Connection 01-01-2022 09:16 PM

I’ve been entertained. Let’s see if they end this in a satisfying way.

Simply Red 01-02-2022 12:08 AM

I will miss it when it's gone, it'll sting a little more because of this cock tease season.

Harrison did realize something that never crossed my mind for the entirety of the series, not only was Dexter killing people that deserved to be killed, Dexter was also saving lives, potential future victims that would have been killed. I never thought about all the future murders that Dexter was preventing. He’s a hero, should be getting medals. I feel pretty dumb.

That isn’t Dexter’s primary motivation for doing what he does, though, which should have been obvious to Harrison in watching how much Dexter enjoyed his kill last week.

BigRock 01-09-2022 09:25 AM

I didn't hate it because overall I always liked the series. But this whole thing has been varying degrees of absurd. I mean, it's all based on the premise that, after a decade of blending in, Dexter suddenly just had to kill some random fratbro. It was weak from the jump.

Remember when Dexter had to lead the dead guy's scent away from his place because dogs were being brought in? So he dug back down to where he hid the body (with his son asleep right inside) and he took the guy's clothes and went back out to the crime scene and danced all around to spread the scent from there back to the road? And all this after they'd established there were cameras all around in the woods? But they just never mentioned the cameras ever again so it didn't matter?

And then Dexter had to dig the guy's body back up (again with his son asleep right inside but hearing nothing) and took it to a giant incinerator that had never been mentioned before, which apparently you can just drive right up to and throw things in, but somehow he didn't just do that in the first place?

Remember a couple episodes ago when Dexter got shot? LOL

Dexter needs a drug to do his usual ritual, but he acknowledges he doesn't have access to the stuff he used before. So he gets some ketamine from the vet. Then his girlfriend googles ketamine + Miami murders and the top result is the Bay Harbor Butcher, with the text on the screen literally saying the victims were injected with ketamine, even though the show already acknowledged that's not the drug Dexter used back then. Seriously, how did this fall through the cracks?

I could keep going, including with stuff from the finale but I won't get into any spoilers. But really, 10 years after one of the most hated/mocked series endings of all time and they get a chance to redeem it and this was the effort they put out. Kinda sad.

Yeah, these things are very "meh" and the show def suffers from the details that made a show like Breaking Bad pretty amazing, but I still enjoy it for the unique plot.

Exactly what I expected. They sort of telegraphed it in last week’s episode. I don’t think this season quite pulled together all the pieces in the end, but at least it entertained and had a better finale than the first time around.

Yeah that was a pretty glaring example of that. It kind of made me wonder if the writers of the next few episodes just completely forgot that.

Simply Red 01-10-2022 09:02 AM

ugh

kevrunner 01-10-2022 05:41 PM

I was at least excited that we’d get a scene reuniting Angel Batista and Dexter, what a tease and then not get it, that made the ending worse for me, I thought sure it was happening.

Yeah, there was no point in even having his scene in the finale if it didn't lead to anything. Is there a cut scene that didn't make the episode?

Odd for sure.

ya that was pretty whack that it didn't happen.

what a let down. They should have went with my prison idea.

Your prison idea was a terrible one. But the ending to this was not great, either. Well, I guess at least there may be hope of continuing the series with his son taking over his role.

Talisman 01-12-2022 02:33 PM

I thought it was pretty good overall. Miles better than that abortion of a final season we got. I kind of liked the flash forward of scenes they would do at the start. Took me way too long to realize that the New Blood font was slowly filling up with blood.

There was a bit of sloppiness in the details (like the Etorphine vs Ketamine mentioned earlier). Another example: what was Angela going to say happened at the end?

Spoiler!

I think finding out about Batista coming is what was supposed to make Dexter realize he was screwed. So he knew he had to get out, and did what he did, and doing that led to the ending.

This, he was done and going to be extradited to Florida and get the death penalty. He killed the cop/wrestling coach, and his son in the end, with Dexter's permission, was following the code.

He lnew there was reasonable doubt in this case. He'd walk at some point. But, he knew Batista would have the goods on him.

Correct, he was the bad guy that needed to be killed according to the code.

At least it was a better ending than the lumberjack one. Got some closure on Dexter.

Molitoth 01-15-2022 02:55 PM

****ing awesome ending IMO.

The only part I don't like about it is that this is finalized for Michael C Hall in the role.

Can still bring him back in the dark passenger role although I’m not sure his son can carry a show himself as Hall did for so long.
