I thought it was convenient that the guy got out of prison, although I didn't think that LaGuerta would be clever enough to trap Dexter and close in on him.
Next week will either be one of the best episodes of the show or will be a serious let down.
Thought it was good. I really liked LaGuerta freeing Estrada to trap Dexter, didn't see that coming. I did think it was convenient but chalked it down to what we expect from the writers these days so it was a nice surprise.
That was my first thought. It wouldn't have been difficult for Deb to get one of Hannah's hairs (if it is Hannah's) and plant it, but would she risk the chance of getting herself killed just to get rid of Hannah? I don't think so.
Agree with the above. Bit of a 'meh' episode on the whole but not too bad either. I know it's something that's said a lot but next week's episode looks really fecking good.
Thought it was LaGuerta's work right away when Estrada was let out, but as others said I had my doubts whether it was simply down to convenient timing from the writers. Pretty nice twist regardless, although I'd have expected Dexter to be a bit more suspicious considering the circumstances. Debra already told him before that LaGuerta wasn't going to back off this easily, so why believe it Matthews says it?
Why wasn't the blood-slide that started the whole thing mentioned at any point? They've made a big deal out of it the whole season. Now Matthews is satisfied with a theory that completely ignores this part and LaGuerta didn't bring it up again despite going on and on about it in the past.
Dexter giving up Hannah is quite interesting. Is he simply assuming that she won't talk about everything she knows about him even after he betrayed her? Big risk I'd think. Anyway, looking forward to the finale - I think they set it up quite nicely. Little speculation on next season if there is one (nothing to do with the above or any previews - just my thoughts)
Seems to me like they're in the process of getting rid of all the detectives. Batista is retiring and Quinn is a big mess (not that that's any news). If they make another season it looks like Miami Metro will play a very small part. Dexter on the run maybe?
That is so stupid from Dexter's POV to let Hannah live.I mean he was about to kill her before he stopped and shagged her.I can see her use that as some sort of deal with La Guerta
LaGuerta still doesn't know that they're in a relationship (she's probably the only one at Miami Metro not to know), but when she does find out I'm sure she'll be speaking to Hannah.
Great episode I thought, finale should be amazing. Agree with what everyone else says about Deb maybe framing Hannah, although that might just be me blinded by how good looking she is
Hope Dexter kills Laguerta though, always hated her. Right from the way she looks down to her character, cnut of the highest order. She looks like a fish as well. What somebody else also said about Dexter being on the run next season seems like it could happen, with it being the last season, and I think at the end of next season he'll probably die, finishing the show.
Looks like everything is coming together against Dexter now. Got Estrada who knows who he is, Hannah who he just betrayed and LaGuerta now basically 100% sure its dexter. Next episode looks like it is going to be very interesting
Exactly what I was thinking re: Hannah. It just seemed really bizarre that Dexter would dob her in in that way. It totally leaves him open to be royally fecked.
However, my theory on the Deb poisoning is that it wasn't Hannah, as mentioned by a few above. I think she genuinely loved / loves Dexter which may be enough for her to keep her silence.
That was ok, bit meh for 40 minutes and then the last 15 were very good. I don't really care about the Dexter and Hannah thing, the problem is that these are always one season arcs so some shit was always going to go down. I've never seen the point of her plot, it's basically Lumen, only hotter, with a side (boob) twist of her being a serial killer too. Big deal, it'll be forgotten about in the next series. Hell, they've already forgotten about Isaak.
The La Guerta plot is definitely the most interesting aspect for me, for the first time in a while I didn't see a twist coming in Dexter, so the writers got something right there anyway. Still, bit dumb how Estrada just jumped into the water and Dexter escaped despite being on a peer surrounded by cops, and everything was fine the next day and nobody came near him about anything at all, but this is Dexter we're talking about, he is practically Superman at this stage.
Like someone said above, they seem to be (speculation)
tying up loose ends with the other cops now, Angel, Quinn, La Guerta, which leads to the idea of him being on the run next season, which I really hope is the case.
On another note, I was severely hungover all weekend so I watched the entire first season again, the difference in quality is staggering. It does literally feel like a completely different show now, you can tell that none of the same writers are there anymore, and it's just so poor in comparison, cause season one was fecking amazing TV.

Caught a few episode from season 1 as well over the past few weeks because one of the TV channels I get are showing it. It truly is an incredible difference between then and now. There's quite a few flaws in the first season as well, but in general it's just so well written that you don't care as much about it. It's all the small things as well, such as the tone in a dialogue or a witty remark. Dexter's inner monologue in particular was fantastic back then
4 is still very much the best season IMO. John Lithgow played a terrific villain. Agree with 6 being the worse though, Tom Hank's son wasn't exactly a terrifying foe, not to mention the very predictable twist.
This season's been all over the place and not that great as a result but I've watched it thinking that the show ends in a week. But wait, there's an 8th friggin' season now!?

I never really thought of Laguerta setting Dexter up but I did think the fact Estrada was released and Dexter immediately murdering him would be a pretty dumb of Dexter.
Dexter turning in Hannah was an extremely stupid thing to do, and now that I think about it it was very stupid of Deb to try arresting her as well considering Hannah knows everything about Dexter.
I still don't really believe that Hannah poisoned Deb, it's funny that Dexter is so angry about it considering what he just did to her dad.
It was a fairly good episode. I'm excited to see the finale but like others have said I'm not too happy with my decision to watch the previews for it.
