I think we should have made a thread a while ago called LET'S COMPLAIN ABOUT DEXTER. Or maybe LET ME COMPLAIN ABOUT DEXTER, depending who you ask.

I really don't know. It's the same thing I experienced with Oz (and, hell, half the same cast), this knowledge that it's just getting sloppier and sloppier as time goes on but the desire to see it through to the end. In the first few seasons, Dexter had almost supernatural intelligence and physical capability. Now he makes more and more un-Dexter-like decisions, more silly slip-ups, and seems flat-out dumber.

Maybe that's the whole "becoming more human" thing, or some sort of indicator of the internal conflict in progress, idk really but it seems like the strength of the character is in steady decline.

I'm also getting irritated with the frequency of last-minute saves. It's got me wondering if next week Deb will be trussed up on a train track with some rent collector standing over her and twisting his moustache.

How many more episodes left? One? Two? It's felt like it needed to wrap up for a while now.

Mad Melvin Dec 13th, 2011 08:13 AM

One more episode to go. This season has been fucking horrible. Just flatout lazy writing and sub-plots that don't seem to amount to nothing, like Dexter breaking his trophies by accident, and it's never mentioned again or the idiotic episode where Dexter becomes evil and then the show presses reset at the end. The main villain is boring as all hell and what's with the borderline incest twist they threw in the last episode?

Maybe the shittiest season since season 3. Or 5. Can't decide which one is the worst.

I actually like 3 much better than this season. Not saying its good, but it at least had a direction it tried moving in. I dont even remember season 5.

Kitsa Dec 13th, 2011 03:00 PM

I never remember season numbers. I hated the british chick season and I hated the lumen season. I think Deb's the only female character on Dexter I like.

I was confused about the sudden disappearance of the Irish nanny from last season. I loved her from other stuff she was in (Father Ted, first and foremost). She just sort of was swapped out with Angel's sister (had we ever heard of her before?) with no explanation whatsoever.

I don't know if they went the incest route because the two were married in real life, or not. It would be double weird to be an actor simultaneously making out with your "sibling" and your ex.

Also, I am good and ready for LaGuerta to get the fuck out of Dodge. That's one of the few ways the book series was better...got rid of her right away.

How great would it have been to get Tom Hanks to play Professor Gellar? I think he could do really good creepy if he tried, sort of like Robin Williams.

Sadly this was not the case

Esuohlim Dec 19th, 2011 05:52 PM

omg. I really really wish I could watch that now :(

Kitsa Dec 19th, 2011 11:14 PM

Watched the finale (?)


no, sir, I didn't like it.

Ok, I liked "Oh God".

Cant say I have ever agreed with you more. The season sucked minus Def and the "Oh God." in the finale. :lol

Spoilers!

Kitsa Dec 20th, 2011 07:37 AM

Yeah, but since they went the incest route this season, there's always the possibility that they'll be in bed together at some point next season and that just creeps me right the hell out, adoption-siblings or not. I think it might erode his status as an antihero.

10,000 Volt Ghost Dec 20th, 2011 09:07 AM

What happened at the end this season is what should have happened last season.

Kitsa Dec 20th, 2011 10:04 AM

is it just me, or other than "oh god", was the badguy death scene a little no-frills there at the end?

and was I the only one who noticed that his crotch was a shining beacon of light?

10,000 Volt Ghost Dec 20th, 2011 10:35 AM

I haven't actually watched it yet, just read what happened because I wanted some robo doakes

Someone had to do it.

Yeah Bad guys death was lacking otherwise.




Oh, yeah! Is it just me or is Dexters kid really fucking ugly?

10,000 Volt Ghost Dec 22nd, 2011 11:46 AM

ONLY A MOTHER COULD LOVE.

I still need to watch seasons 3 and 4. I didn't know david carridines brother was dead, thought he just went back to the fbi or whatever it is.

Kitsa Dec 22nd, 2011 11:20 PM

I actually thought Dexter's kid kind of looks like him. Same smirk. I don't have any opinion about him otherwise (or them, since child actors are usually twins- don't know).

I didn't understand the whole Carradine guy thing. I thought David Carradine talked that way because of badly fitting dentures, but his brother talked like that too.

I think the show would have been more interesting with his OTHER brother, in character as Lewis from Revenge of the Nerds, in the relationship with Deb. Now that I would have watched.

Dead in the fourth one, I think.

Don't care - he's not Doakes. :\

Kitsa Dec 23rd, 2011 05:38 AM

There's hope, fz. I mean, look at Ghost Dad and Biney. Maybe Doakes will come back from the dead to torment him too. Other than Burn Notice he's doing fuck-all.

10,000 Volt Ghost Dec 23rd, 2011 09:38 AM

doakes is on burn notice?

Kitsa Dec 23rd, 2011 10:04 AM

I thought he was (?)

:O thass true

King Hadas Dec 26th, 2011 06:17 PM

Would you guys really want Doakes coming back with the show the way it is?

Fathom Zero Dec 26th, 2011 06:22 PM

He'd fit in perfectly. Doakes is a cheesy character himself, but he's got no pretenses about it.

King Hadas Dec 26th, 2011 06:34 PM

Let me just say if Doakes had survived to this season, a shrink probably would have been telling him he was the one in love with Dexter.

Kitsa Dec 26th, 2011 07:34 PM

I just don't want to see LaGuerta fucking anyone else. Please.
