Theory I was thinking that a few people share...
Not sure if this has been said already since I'm to lazy to check all spoiler tags, but does anyone think the old man is in that young killers mind? I know he exists because he was on the website, but we never see anyone else pay attention to him. He wasn't offered any coffee in the shop, and the girl didn't look at him once or pay any attention to him when she was tied up. It was definitely shot that way on purpose, the only question is whether they are making it so obvious that its a red herring... or they just dont realise how obvious it is. I reckon the young guy killed him at some point and now he exists in his head... a kinda parallel to Dexters Harry... since you know... they love to do parallels between dexter and his opponents.
I was just going to write that..
Surely that's not just any tramp stamp.
Didn't notice it was the same symbol on the book, so that's that figured out then. Good spot.
Also, didn't Hanks jr. sound an awful lot like his dad in the car scene with Dexter when his voice was strained? Just a fun observation.
Not sure if it's exactly the same symbol but it looked similar to the writing of a book Batista saw on the shelf. Wondering if it was the Qu'ran and the tattoo arabic or if it was some sort of angelic symbol. I'm reckoning there's a whole bunch of Gellar acolytes around.
It was an Om, it's like one of the most popular tattoo's you can get- millions of people have them. So it's a bit weak if they're trying to run with an Om tattoo as some sort of story plot.
Warning, click to destroy the season for you. All is revealed in this video
Maybe the person whoThe producers had announced a major reveal at the end of episode 6 which will have major consequences for the series as a whole and that supposedly. Not sure what that's about but if I were you I'd stay away from any Dexter related forums to avoid getting completely spoiled.some character will be returning
Right I'm out of this thread. See you all in 10 weeks time.

well if hes seeing people then talking down the phone and being a loon cant be far behind
You don't actually know that, do you?He's not actually seeing people, Dexter doesn't actually see Harry, it's just how his conversation plays out in his mind and they use another actor to convey that. Thing is the Prof tied up the woman the other guy had sex with so I'm inclined to believe he exists

As Makki says we don't know that
the Professor tied the woman up that Travis had sex with.
The producers have deliberately made the idea of whether Gellar is alive or not ambiguous but I would be surprised if Gellar wasn't Travis' "dark passenger". Travis hasn't been able to kill so far without Gellar there to help. Gellar helps keep him focused, just like Harry did with Dexter.
And still nobody else has actually talked to or looked at Gellar.
In the newbies, Burrow asked a few things in reply to my thoughts on that at the time including wondering about Gellar's picture in the newspaper and the unique drawings in the book.
Gellar must have been alive at one point, that's for certain but he's not any more, and Travis must have seen that book at one time so he knows about the drawings and different scenarios. Gellar's been missing for three years and I think there's a good chance Travis killed him in that time frame (this is all theories and guesswork).
I think, along with most others here that it's more likely Gellar isn't alive than actually being alive.
In what way would that make Dexter schizophrenic?I'm no psychologist but I think that would make him schizophrenic and Dexter doesn't seem schizophrenic, he's very organised and emotionless and everything he does has purpose. Harry doesn't tell Dexter what to do, he guides him and Dexter uses that as some sort of final say and security blanket as he makes decisions, Harry initially didn't really play a huge part beyond flashbacks but I think they brought him in a bit more heavily to strengthen the sociopathic tendencies, that are common in most serial killers, that Dexter has.
Harry is the voice we all have in our mind that counter-argues what we think might be a good idea, Harry is just used to portray an internal conversation he has in his mind, he's essentially Dexter's conscience except Dexter's sociopathy means he lacks empathy and other normal human emotions. Harry is also his belief system, his checklist and part of his ritual. Everything has to be done in accordance of those rules for Dexter to achieve gratification. For example Ted Bundy and BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill for those who don't know who this is) were both very organised and meticulous planners, BTK especially who bears a lot more of a resemblance to Dexter because stalked his for months before killing them. BTK also made his kills and planned them in very specific ways.
So has anyone seen last night's episode?
Yes. Dexter isn't schizophrenic but I do think that there's a strong possibility that
Travis is. If they do go down the Gellar not being alive route anyway. After one of the first kills, I think it was said that there were two distinctly different types of cut. One which could have been done by Travis' normal persona and the other by his "Gellar side".
Brilliant episode!
I think you lot are right about Travis now, especially after the scene where he visits his sister at her school or wherever. I wonder if the Brother Sam storyline is the beginning of the end for Dexter? Perhaps he turns him away from his dark passenger? Next week's episode looks really interesting, can't wait for it. The show's really heating up now
Yawnfest of an episode with a good ending.
Don't we just say this every Tuesday?
