Television Dexter

Preview clip for the next episode. It's probably best that those who aren't a fan of the Deb/psychiatrist scenes don't watch:



Is there anyone that is a fan of those scenes?
 
I bet the same people who thought the twist was amazing and didn't see it coming(oh there were a lot of these people) loves the psych scenes.
 
I knew they were going to bring Harrison into it.

If anything does happen to him, I feel that it will be somehow be connected back to the intern, due to the hand he sent to Dexter.

And how has nobody traced the 911 call that Dexter made. :mad:

Plus, the video he sent Travis, WTF!
 
Great episode. Really looking forward to the finale.
The bitch (laguerta) is back. It seems they really are going down the incest route - I hope Dexter rejects her otherwise those talks with Harry could get a bit awkward.

The Intern is more interesting than Travis imo: is he just a crazy fan of Dexter or is there something more sinister? The promo for next week says 'the end is at hand' which could be a reference to the ITK victim's hand that Intern has sent to Dexter.
 
It's just laughable writing that they haven't traced his call, like that would happen.

The intern is far more interesting than Travis , he's quite dreary in truth
 
And just when you think Debra has exhausted every inappropriate shag... she finds her brother. Well done Debra.
 
Must have missed it, but in what way is Harrison being brought into it?

Next week's preview shows
Travis kidnapping Harrison with Dexter trying to rescue his son.
 
So you have the one guy who's been causing you trouble, unconscious on a deserted dock at night time. Cut his throat and throw his body into the water? Of course not! Tie him up, put him in a little boat filled with gasoline, drive out to sea, pour more gasoline into the sea, wait for him to wake up and then light the gas in a big circle and drive off assuming he's dead.
 
Also

Travis came across Angel's ID Card by chance, then suddenly when giving instructions to the woman he knows that she needs to use the card to bypass the metal detector? When the feck did he learn that?

Interested in the intern, not bothered about much else. Dexter will get Harrison back and kill Travis and the intern thing will probably lead into the next season.

Another thing..

Travis points his gun at Batista, about to shoot him, hears something outside. Doesn't shoot him but goes out to check what that was. Seriously? Pulling the trigger wouldn't have taken that much time..

I don't think killing Dexter on the dock would've made any sense considering he needed Dexter for the ritual.

I don't think Travis was waiting for Dexter to wake up. When Dexter wakes up Travis is already in the process of pouring gasoline into the sea, so I don't think he was waiting for Dexter to wake up. He was just doing what he needed to and Dexter woke up in the middle of it.

To be fair to the writers that happens in almost every movie and TV show. Not that it makes much sense, but apparently it's a common thing in Hollywood.

Seemed pretty smart to me.

He kept Batista because he was worried he might need a hostage. He heard a disturbance outside so he held off on killing him for a bit to see whether he might still need his hostage - turned out he did, so he set the room on fire to delay Quinn, allowing for his escape.

If he'd shot Batista dead then gone outside to have a look then Quinn would have heard the gunshot and known he was in a combat situation, and had he jumped out the window to try and escape, Quinn would have chased him and likely killed him.
 
I don't think killing Dexter on the dock would've made any sense considering he needed Dexter for the ritual.
He doesn't need him to be alive for the ritual though. Some of the other tableaus were arranged post mortem, weren't they? The four horsemen and Travis's sister to name two.

kie: Hadn't thought of it that way. Not sure that it was the writers' intention either, but it makes sense at least.
 
I'd say that was the intent - Travis pointed out that he had only kept Batista alive in case something went wrong, and there's really no other reason to set the room on fire rather than just going in, shooting him and going straight out the window.

Hm, that's true. Probably thought Dexter getting killed by the flames would fit better then, or he just wanted Dexter to suffer before dying. Not sure really, I didn't think any of it before Solius brought it up. Didn't seem like such an odd thing to do really.
 
I am surprised this has only been mentioned once. What the feck was that about.
What? He wanted Travis to find him since he didn't know how to find Travis. So after he set up his own tableau he sent him the video, while having "Slice of Life" visible in the background so that he could ambush Travis when Travis inevitably came to the boat to find him.

Or do you mean something else?

One thing regarding the future that I've thought about..
I wonder how the great cops at Miami Metro Homicide will manage to not see that the Beast looks a lot like Dexter and investigate Dexter's involvement in this.

"Look at the beast, he looks like Dexter."
"Ha, strange. I bet he saw Dexter on the news and used him as a template."
"Yeah, that's gotta be it. Let's go for some coffee and donuts."

Does Dexter not care about leaving evidence behind? Assuming he does not send it to Miami Metro Homicide to feck Dexter over, it is still going to be saved on his phone.

Ah, you mean that part.

It's probably going to be one of those things that they don't give a feck about explaining. Like the bloke with the wireless internet, and the 911 call Dexter made from his own phone. Either that or they'll just explain it with Travis deleting it because he didn't need it more after seeing the Slice of Life thing.

Hero of the day perhaps for the thingy at the station?
 
That was so boring. My god.

I mean Colin Hanks has to be the shittest fecking bad guy ever.

I hold no hope for the finale at all.

Incest, are you fecking kidding me now?
 
The season finale looks horribly predictable. This season has been well below par. Lasts season was acceptable without been great IMO, but the show is now dying a death
 
Ah last season was fairly rubbish too BUT it still wasn't nearly as disjointed and at least the main plot and bad guy (what's the guys name again) weren't that bad and I still found it very watchable.

This whole religious theme mixed with the sheer unbinding shitness of Colin Hanks has made the main plot an absolute disaster.
Then you have Deb with the psychiatrist, give a feck. Quinn being an alco, give a feck. maria being a cnut, give a feck. Masuka not being funny anymore. Angel ... eh what the flying feck has Angel even done? Harry, boring now, just kinda sits in the backrounds talking really monotonously.

Let's not even get started on the travesty that was the episode where Dex went to Jonah with his brother

The only interesting stuff was Brother Sam (I think Mos Def played him well), but they killed him off and now the intern guy

I remember a time when Dexter was the absolute first thing I would watch, as soon as it came out I'd have it downloaded, ready to go. Now it's behind a list of others, Breaking Bad, Homeland, Misfits, Bored to Death, even The Walking Dead at times. I'll see how the finale goes anyway I guess.

Ok rant over.
 
Season 6 Finale Spoiles!

Shit season, shit episode

But the ending OMG, I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, taught it would have been last season, anyways I have a good feeling about next season, so many possibilities

Lol at Dexter saying "Oh, God" at the end.

Still disappointed, how Dexter hasn't been caught in other ways, ie. building cameras
 
Meh..

Episode pretty much summed up the season.

The most wanted and hunted man in Miami just casually walks down the street on the day it's all supposed to happen. Even singing about the world ending. Yeah, why not?

Putting one policeman on top of each skyscraper. Pretty sure you'd always have a back up in real life, especially when you know what you're dealing with.

Everyone waiting outside the crime scene for Dexter to show up. Why? They usually have no problems starting off without him. Then no one follows him when he goes into the house, despite them having nothing better to do. And then he manages to destroy the face without anyone noticing any sounds or anything. In the past seasons they'd at least have tried to make his cover up a bit believable.

Not necessarily a flaw in the show, but where was the nanny with Harrison was taken? Did she leave right after the show?

Also, Debra looking surprised when the shrink told her that she couldn't control other people's emotions :lol: What the feck did you think?

A positive thing about this episode and the whole season
They've opened up the series now.

The intern/consultant/whatever he'll be next year obviously knows about Dexter, as he now send him the hand from the ITK case. Will be very interesting to see what happens there.

Debra now knows that Dexter kills people. How much she figures out remains to be seen, but since she saw the whole scene there's no way she'll believe that this was just a one-time thing.

So we basically have two people knowing that Dexter kills, at least one of them knows his true identity. Roll on next season!
 
The show has gone off the deep end completely.
The season ending with Incest!Deb finding out about Dexter just undermined the actual plot of the season, with Travis, it just completely overshadows it, that undermining is something they've done repeatedly this season. Why should we care about the plot if the writers don't?
Off my list for next season.

It seemed like the finale was altered to rap up viewer interest in the show for the next season. but there was not a bit of creativity to it. It would have been better if Deb had found out last season itself. poor ending but leaves the writers something to build on.
