Oh of course, the whole thing was daft. Its such a shame because you'd think in the final season they'd go all out but instead just repeating the mistakes again and again. It in no way feels like a final season.

Always watch this before it. Thats what I did. After Breaking Bad this looks even worse
I watched it just now, 2 days after BB 
. Those tits were the best part for me as well.
. Those tits were the best part for me as well.Started watching it immediately after Breaking Bad. Had to turn it off after 10 minutes.
Cause you couldn't handle its brilliance?
Yeah, it was so much better than Breaking Bad I just couldn't handle it.
That's hilarious! I actually initially thought the same thing. Ridiculously bad acting. And to fecking think there are unknown actors in Hollywood who are pretty decent that aren't getting a single look into anything as well known as Dexter. They'd probably be cheaper and a damn site more effective.
The writers / producers have let this one go and it sucks. I'd almost be a little embarrassed if I were the actor of a lead character.
I think with a real effort and (financial) motivation, I could write better episodes than the current writers of Dexter.
I don't think they actually give a feck anymore. Season 5 was the beginning of the end but there were still some good parts. Even in season 6 I thought the four horsemen of the apocalypse was quite cool.
But now? Feckin snore fest
Think you're all going a bit OTT with the criticism. One Cina is enough.
I don't know why you lot are torturing yourself watching these on a weekly basis. I've saved them up and will watch them close to the end over a short period. That way the "plot" at least moves faster and you rid yourself of the meaningless plot lines they waste time on. I fast forward the boring stuff and get my main updates from the "previously on Dexter" segments. I did that for the last 5-6 episodes of last season and sort of enjoyed the finale.
It's a decent 45 minute killer.
I said this weeks ago. The critiques are pointless at this stage, just watch it for what it is.
Regardless of your point, you mentioned Dexter (last season) and The Wire in the same post. They are probably the best (The Wire) and the worst (Dexter, last few seasons) written shows in the history. Hectic should ban you. Or do something evil to you. Or both.
Nothing Hectic could do to me would match the torture of watching the Dexter-Hannah storyline.
I'm starting to think Yvonne Strahovski doesn't have nipples
Hannah I enjoyed that episode, although I no longer expect much from the writers.

The whole 'family' theme is a real bore as is Hannah & Dexter's story. Interesting how the Brain-Surgeon shows up after going AWOL for several weeks. Good of the writers to get rid of the kid just as he got slightly interesting, imbeciles.
Masuka and his daughter remain pointless this season.

Who set-up the annoying kid?
I suppose Quinn is the one trying to frame Cassie's murder on the kid and was the one who killed her? I'd guess she let him into the apartment as she knew him and he proceeded to kill her to frame the kid for the murder.
If that's true, it seems a really random act for Quinn. He killed the Russian guy last season but that was because he 'loved' the stripper. His hatred of the kid seems irrational and to kill an innocent woman to get him to jail is stupid.

Seems likely. It looks like Quinn is going to have a significant part in the final few episodes, bit disappointing considering he's one of the worst developed characters.
I found Zach quite funny in that episode. Just as he was turning into more than a one-dimensional character...
I actually started to like Zach in that episode. Hannah's hotness the highlight for me
I read what looks like legit spoilers (posted late July and correct for the most part) and am really underwhelmed. Nothing seems to be shocking
Yeah that was actually a good episode, as long as you take it for what it is. Quite amusing at times, albeit incredibly cheesy. And yes, he was just getting interesting, and then they killed him, morons.
So I wasn't the only one who enjoyed Zach in that episode. He had some good lines.
But then they cut a quarter of his head off.

That was so fecking out of nowhere. It wasn't even dramatic. Sex scene and then, oh the kids dead. Ok then.
This is why I was against the return of the Hannah character, too much time spent with a really boring romance element. Zach gets killed after showing some promise ...
Maybe the actor had other commitments...
It is crazy to think we're watching the last few episodes of the entire show and with each of them getting worse than the previous. I kinda expect the brain surgeon to be either Debra or Masuka's daughter now
Zach was good for an episode, but I'm not too bothered about him because the tutoring thing wasnt that interesting. Having the brain surgeon come back and kill someone the viewers might actually miss is a lot more interesting. I really dont think Quinn will be the one who killed Cassie, my suspects are the guy Deb is working with or the guy she was dating. Seems a bit convenient for him not to remember Zach's face when he saw it right outside where she died.
That episode was a mix of good, cringe-worthy and bizarre. There was a noticeable step up in the quality of dialogue at times, although I found myself wincing at the Hannah/Dexter stuff a lot. In fairness though, some of that was fairly well done too.
Bizarre is the ending, obviously. Came out of absolutely nowhere. What was Vogel holding up in the glass, though? I took that at the time as it being the part out of Zach's brain, but obviously not now that no-one's mentioned it.

Well the killer sent her the other victim's brain bits so I'm guessing that is exactly what it is.
Those will they/won't they scenes between Hannah and Dexter were pretty poorly written, more like a bad romcom.

Ah yeah, of course. Forgot about that. Dunno who the hell it is so at least there's a little suspense on that front.
Utter scheisse poopen.
This was a low record. Impressing considering how shit were the last few episodes.
Zach made a good joke (chick's fighting for you) and started to become a more likable and then without a reason he died. Completely stupid. Hannah was the highlight too, really this season would have been un-watchable without her.

I thought they were implying that Vogel was the killer because she was left to drive him home
She had a bit of a psycho-ish look on her face too, and there have been little hints that there's something pretty amiss with her aside from her work. The experience she was talking about at the dinner table that she never elaborated on for example, with another case being the weird, obsessed hug she gave Dexter when she was going on about him being perfect.
I was just hoping that it wouldn't be her, because it'd just seem so retarded given that she was shitting herself in her own home at one point with no-one around. This is actually the reason why I feel perhaps a little suspense at who the Brain Surgeon actually is, because every option at this point seems too retarded or too out of the blue for even these writers to go for. Thinking about it though, it surely can't be anyone but Vogel though, can it?
A psychologist, neuroscientist and brain surgeon is the only sort of person I can see at the moment in this show that it would make sense for to have that sort of serial killer trait, really. It's probably another dead religious guy from season 6 type scenario whereby we're left thinking the writers are presenting it so obviously that we must assume that they're doing it on purpose, only for them then to eventually follow through with it and remove the twist altogether.

That was abysmal, I actually skipped forward 20 minutes to the end, which was just fecking absurd.
Oh yeah I certainly thought of that possibility but think it has to be a red herring. It would be way too casual a way to reveal such a 'big' moment surely.
Good post. The bit in bold is why I'm pretty sure it can't be her (even taking into account the crappy writing/bad continuity at times).
I'm pretty sure the brain surgeon won't be a former patient of hers and it could be someone else who knows her, but I'm just getting a feeling it could possibly be someone with a connection to Dexter - like the ITK in the first season.
Saying that, my immediate thought is Cassie's boyfriend. As Ekeke said, it's too convenient that he doesn't remember Zach's face. If he is the Brain Surgeon it would be a bit of an anti-climax for me. I've got no idea how he would have been able to murder Cassie like Zach murdered that woman, whereas Quinn would sort of have an idea. I just can't see it being him though.
Not many episodes left, and the quality really isn't getting any better.
I don't even know where to start with the Brain Surgeon being that guy... nothing that hasn't been said already I suppose. Still, that x 1,000,000. It's a valid suspicion, though - him saying he didn't see Zach was odd.
On the plus side, I'd say there's a reasonable chance at this point of Quinn being cut up into little pieces and dumped in the ocean. The only problem is that Dexter owes Deborah for not turning Hannah in now, so there's every fecking, shitting chance that he'll do the same with Quinn in return.
Only the Dexter writers could do something like that. Dangle a consolation prize in front of us like that only to dip it in shite.
