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.)

SPOILERS























I don't know how to do the damn tags, I'm sorry. But in the novels, Deb knows at the end of the Rudy arc, and is ultimately fine with it. There's no real reason she shouldn't be able to handle it on the show.

To do spoilers (as above), simply put the word spoiler and /spoiler between square brackets. Like this (with no spaces):

[ spoiler ] Text you want hidden here. [ /spoiler ]

So now for my response...

Spoiler!

If they were going to do the Deb knows arc, it should have been earlier in the series. At this point, I think Deb would flip her shit and either go on a killing spree herself or go into the fetal position and become an emotional wreck. I think either way, that news would destroy her.

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

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!

After nearly two years of marriage, Dexter stars Michael C. Hall, 39, and Jennifer Carpenter, 31, are divorcing. An exclusive joint statement to EW from their representatives read: “Having been separated for some time, Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C. Hall have filed for divorce.” Both reps add that the split was amicable. The couple — who met on the set of the Showtime drama, in which she plays his foster sister — married on December 31, 2008. Hall completed treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma earlier this year.

guess they can kill off deb now

season finale was weaksauce.

absolute shit.

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

['Hamas' Jenkins]

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
