Television Dexter

I think LaGuerta finding out will the big reveal and cliffhanger like Debra finding out last year was. That also means that the next season should be a lot of fun. I've always really wanted the show to end to see what they do with Dexter in the show finale
 
Season 6 is pretty forgettable, in fact it was pretty shit. You must have guessed what happens by now.
 
Finished Season 6. They should have skipped the entire season, it was only the ending that matters in a really shit season.

Anyway, now Debra knows. It's going to be fun.

yeah, it's one of those things about the show. They decided to go for strong 'themes' to each season, certainly after season 3 (which was arguably about friendship) 4 being about family, 5 retribution and 6 Religion with the 6th season being the weakest theme and least well applied (in that it was too in your face)

The 7th season seems to be about love
 
Thought it was a bot of a poor episode this time. The kids coming back seems to be just an annoyance and I spent most of the time hoping they would somehow be killed. The debra/dexter scene was cringe worthy as well. I was hoping that would never happen and the whole angle would vanish.

Quite liking the interactions between dexter and Issac though

Plus the sixth had the disavantage of that Hanks boy, who has the charisma of a dying halibut
 
Issac was never boring. Better than trinity for me now, if they end the arc as well as they did with trinity, he will be the best ever Dexter villain. If anything the Hannah stuff is a chore.

Nah I thought Trinity was the best, but Issac is a very close second.
 
Let's wait and see how they deal with Issac's arc before we start the Trinity comparisons. They could easily mess it up.
 
Never saw the gay thing coming, it was almost as much of a shock as Olmos being a figment of Colin Wanks imagination in season six.

Almost...

I don't think Trinity could be surpassed . He was such an ordinary looking man yet Lithgow made him so menacing . Yet Isaac looks menacing already , if you know what I mean . Both excellent though. Although I liked Prado too- not as good of course, but better than the other three
 
Nope, one of the games I have on my play list once I've finally finished Skyrim.

Nice. On the second and third game there is a character called Miranda Lawson which is portrayed and played by Yvonne Strahovski. It's like a brunette Yvonne.

:lol: true. Very lacking in on-screen presence. I guess he was meant come across as pathetic though in the first half of the season, but didn't have the attributes to turn it around in the second half.
 
:confused: They never tried to hide the fact did they?

Nope. They put clues in episodes and it shouldn't have been a surprise or was intended to be. With the "hello, handsome" comment and the hidden photo (with the picture being taken on a 'gay' island) they were intentionally making it clear what his secret was. Cina just likes to nitpick when there's no reason to.
 
To be fair the Olmos stuff was supposed to be a big twist. The showrunner spoke about how they underestimated the internet.

Hmmm I am not so sure. May be it was not supposed to be a big reveal but I don't think all the clues they dropped in were as subtle as they should have been.

The Olmos thing did not necessarily just get ruined by most people on the internet guessing the twist. But by the fact that the twist did not add anything to the arc at all. It was just purely decided to fool the audience and get a gotcha moment for the show runners. A lot of people guessed the something at the end of S4 of BB as well. Knowing that in advance did not ruin the finale for anyone who read it, simply because the surprise of the twist was just a small part, the implication of it being the meat.

I like Dexter this season, having hated last season and the one before it. But the writing on the show has been weak since S3 and yes that included the trinity season as well. Whenever I revisit some S1 Dexter episode, Dexter's monologues, dialogues, the haunting nature of some of the death table scenes is incomparable to stuff we see now.
 
Watched the last episode, the Isaac twist was pretty unexpected. Loved parts with Dex and Debra. Yvonne is really really hot.

I am still liking the show. so feck off Cina. Anyway I agree that Dexter's monologues are not as good as in the beginning of the show.

wouldn't say it was unexpected. It was basically my first thought when I say the picture a few episodes ago.
 
Yeah, he was obviously gay.

I don't think the reveal in the gay bar was intended to be a surprise for the viewer, because they basically told us as much, but more for Dexter's benefit.
 
It's become a bizarre show. So much of it has taken on soap-opera dimensions (which to be honest, I still find enjoyable to watch.) Debra's revealing her secret to Dexter was one of these - absolutely ridiculous, but somehow compelling to watch. But then you have the Dexter-Isaak bar scene, where the quality of the dialog was up there with the best the show has produced - no melodrama, yet heartfelt and and a touch menacing (Isaak's insisting that he must do what he needs to do.)

I honestly think they should make next season the last one, and if all goes well, the show will be remembered as an above-average series, that had some stunning highs (season 1 and 4 in particular,) as well as a handful of disappointing lows (season 6, scattered moments in the current season,) but was never less compelling viewing.
