Hannah would have been better off taking Harrison to the hospital wearing a Scream mask. Would have been more discrete that way. fecking shite.
Television Dexter

Well that was new level of shit. Only 2 episodes left though 
Time to dress Hannah in black latex, Miranda Lawson style.
Ok pet x
It could in theory just be something Saxon is working on but doesn't seem it and fits with all spoilers we've had for a long time now
Jonah? So looks like he's known about Dexter for a while.
i think thats not the important part... could be a coincidence, or maybe he actually was tracking down Dexter for a while already. Jonah was an idiot anyway, deserved it. Whats important is who might die next...
The weird thing is I'm actually starting to enjoy Quinn's arc more than Dexter's - that's how bad it's become. Even Michael C Hall's acting has become pretty bad.
And can somebody remind me when he became so attached to Vogel? I seem to remember him resenting her and constantly telling her that he wanted nothing more to do with her once he caught the brain surgeon. What changed?Yeah that was so silly. The first thing I would be doing is scouting out the area to find out if it's safe. And hugging the body!?!
He decided a while ago they were " family ". Highly improbable. I'm still enjoying it in a way, but when you look back to the Trinity killer days, it's so much poorer. It didn't help that John Lithgow was so good while Colin Hanks was so atrociously bad and resembled more of a quivering halibut than a serial killer.
Used to be watchable but the last 2 series have been woeful, terrible shit. They've taken it in completely the wrong direction, assuming there is some direction it's headed, and turned most of the characters into pointless 2 dimensional charactures.
Do Batista and the other cops serve an actual purpose anymore? Masukas daughter looks like the most pointless character ever. Vogel? Seriously? Did we ever find out how Hannah got out of maximum security or did I just stop caring some time ago? Harrison - the most well behaved child in the world. Not to mention Deb (apparently one of about 5 people in Miami who isn't a serial killer) just getting over the fact that her brother, and his girlfriend are serial killers and her entire life is a lie, following 2 or 3 chats with a shrink, who seemingly ignores every ethical standard known to man without any consequence.
It's like they fired all the writers to save money and hired the writing staff from Home & Away in their place. They could have and should have went dark with it.
They've taken it from a show that was amusing enough to ignore some of the holes in they story and just turned it into a series of holes you could drive a bus through.

Yeah that's another thing: the standard of acting is approaching soap opera levels (Saxon being the latest example.)
It's criminal how they're using Colin C. Hall now. He's one of the best actors on television, for feck's sake. What a waste.
My son had never seen this and he's just started watching it. I watched a little of series 1 with him, the change is staggering
Micheal?
Michael ?
Miiiiiiichael (thought i'd be dramatic).
Shit. Where the feck did Colin come from? I'm watching Six Feet Under every day and Dexer every week and still pulling something like that off.
Maybe you've been thinking about Colin129 too much
I honestly think the amount of times I've seen the name Colin on this website recently might've played a part, yeah!
So the US Marshal didn't recognise the guy who had been all over the news as the most wanted fugitive in the land. Instead he let him go immediately, no questions asked. Of course he knew he was safe to let him go because there was only a table full of knives next to the chair which he definitely wouldn't stab him with.
Deb will die, Hannah will get arrested at the airport and surely Dexter will hand himself in, with Harrison being taken away by a police officer.

Alright lads, give me a summary.
This week I will mostly be moaning about...
Deb
I love the way Deb just dropped Hannah the fugitive at the hotel in broad daylight, without any form of disguise and left her to check in on her own. Any non-idiot would surely go in alone and check in for her and then smuggle Hannah to the room discreetly to minimize the risk and possibly made the woman wear a hat, sunglasses or a Hazmat suit, something less obvious.
After being like Carrie and Samantha for a few episodes she finally remembered she hated Hannah again when they said goodbye.
If you know someone is packed up ready to leave then you bring fecking takeaway.
Elway turns up at Deb's house and she basically hands over Hannah with her incompetence, I hope she never has to bluff during interrogations.
No matter how secure you think your hostage is you don't leave them on their own unless you have to, going upstairs for a hug isn't a good enough reason.
She's only been back on the force for 2 days and she's already been shot...again!
Other ramblings...
Masuka's daughter is incredibly annoying but I'm not sure whether it's just her or the fact she is stealing air time during what should be the climax of 8 seasons of TV.
I wish I was Jaime's favourite person.
Harry says goodbye and disappears so if Deb dies, Dex will be without his mentor or his spiritual mother, the code could well be off the table.
Nice to see Mrs Prado back.
Are Elway and the Marshall just allowed to enter Deb's apartment like that?
So murderous tendencies are cured by love then? I like the idea of a judge sentencing John Wayne Gacy to 30 years of marriage.
If next weeks is going to be set during the hurricane then it could be quite pretty to look at. It really gives them a potential cop out ending though.
Much better than last week.

They fake their own deaths trying to escape on Dex's boat
Much better than last week.
Yeah that sounds about right. Thanks.
That actually wasn't that bad. It's more the fact that it was based on the load of bollocks that preceded it than it being terrible in itself. That was obviously stupid writing in Dexter leaving Saxon like that on its own, mind you.
Dexter leaving Saxon and Hannah refusing to put in any sort of effort to hide herself were two huge problems. They're too big to overlook since the final episode is probably going to be based around those two things. I still don't understand why he just didn't kill the guy who knows his true identity and threatened his family.
And I saw this somewhere else that sums it up -
Yeah, that is such a let down. The main problem is that, barring La Guerta's investigation, it's been too long since the Bay Harbour Butcher stuff was fresh in the mind. Everything needed to explode outwards from her investigation but they just bottled it.
Another thing... I know people let her off a bit because she's fit and everything, but Hannah's a pretty crap character if we're being honest. So bland given that she's this notorious, wanted serial killer. It says a lot about the direction Dexter's gone in that her coming back into it was meant to be this big, game changing moment.

The writers Still struggling to understand how time works. Goes from dawn to full-on sunlight while Debra is inside the building (yes, it's a minor and rather pointless thing, but I've been noticing these things since the diner scene). Hannah checking into a hotel and then going to the airport - obviously not disguised in any way. Sure, what could possibly go wrong? The marshal doesn't watch the news apparently and is perfectly happy to release a person without any questions asked, despite the fact that he followed Debra there. I know that Dexter talking about killings etc. in public has been a problem over the entire series, but Dexter loudly saying "just a son who slit her throat" when walking out of the church with a random person RIGHT next to him (might be Quinn, can't really make it out) is up there with the worst of them.
Apart from that I actually thought it was ok. Saxon pulled some pretty neat tricks to get in touch with Dexter, although he overplayed his hand when going to the police station. Not entirely sure what Dexter expected to happen if Saxon had been taking into custody - would he expect him to keep quiet about Dexter or just assume that whatever he said would be discredited?

Vogel's another to add to the long, long list of people that have been murdered after befriending/working with Dexter. That really is the stupidest part of the show to be honest, alongside Quinn seemingly forgetting that Dexter was a killer. You obviously get the sort of stuff every episode that you could pick out as being silly and irrational but those two things are almost impossibly stupid.
That was an okay episode in comparison to the shit that has preceded it.
However, there were still a lot of things that made no sense: Does Dexter not think Saxon will rat him out if he was arrested? For fecks sake, just do the kill, you know the thing you've done your entire life, and be done with it. Then that feckwit Marshall lets him go, despite Saxon's image being widely available! Hannah's doing a great job hiding herself, the least she could do is dye her hair.
And what is the point of Masuka's daughter appearing each week? Is the Black sergeant cop still alive? Since beating Quinn from the job, she's just completely disappeared. Was she even a real person to begin with? IIRC, she just appeared randomly after the Chicago cop (the one guy who actually followed up leads) died.
It might not be a big problem in comparison to the shit writing and lack of intelligence demonstrated by the cops, but the lack of passwords on laptops has always really annoyed me. Who needs the NSA to snoop when in Miami anyone and everyone can just open a laptop and access every single file they want.

She'll get a spin-off series.
Watched it in 10 mins cos there's too much useless crap in the show for the final season.
There's obviously a few 'spoilers' out there but that reddit one is looking likely and if it does, The writers are the biggest clowns ever
The writers are the biggest clowns everThat's exactly why I'm in here. I've given up. I just want to know whether it's worth watching. How fecking depressing Dexter went that way
There's obviously a few 'spoilers' out there but that reddit one is looking likely and if it does,
Looks nailed on now. What a load of crap.
What's this reddit spoiler? I really don't care about having the finale ruined for me.
Oh feck it, I might go watch it later after I try (probably unsuccessfully) to get past the first mission in Far Cry 1
I can't watch this after Breaking Bad. It's like scoring an extremely beautiful woman in a club only to end up going home with a big fat munter.
Why did Dexter leave Saxon with a ton of knives at his disposal!?
