It's been confirmed by executive producer Chip Johannessen This season was filler youtube vid

This show sucks now. This season was the worst by far. I wont be watching any more seasons

I think it's safe to say this show got "Entourage'd." Started out really great, then a steep decline after a few seasons. We stick around because they tease us with the occasional good episode, making us think it will be great again, but it's all crap. we've invested so much time into the show we can't help but watch every week and complain every week. it's a vicious cycle ='(

i really liked season 3, it wasn't as good as 124, but it's worlds better than season 5. at least it makes sense

ok cool, plz to be giving me infinity odds then?

nah i'll be nice and settle for 10,000-1. $5 on FT, deal?

OMGWTFLOL

I liked this season...until now.

Terrible finale.

2>1>>4>>5>>3.

4 is getting overrated now.

2>1>4>3>5 for me

There is no evidence she knows right now. I'm not saying she won't talk about it next season, but right now she doesn't know.

i started watching BB s3 today and fall asleep

Yeah well wait until it gets going obviously.

Looking at suspense only BB S3 is my favorite season ever. Overall it's probaly around The Wire S3>The Wire S4>Six Feet Under Season 5>Breaking Bad Season 3.

(I know you shouldn't rank series like that, what can i say I'm a rankwhore)

just watched the finale

wish i didn't. awful season. awful episode.

I missed if someone said this before (and someone probably has):

lol at "Maybe it's true that some people deserve to die, but I'm a cop and I don't ****ing make that decision", followed by just letting them go. What? Did that make any sense at all?

I still think this season was better than season 3, but I ****ing HATED season 3. Maybe if I rewatched it, I'd change my order. But I doubt I'll ever watch anything other than season 1 again.

the guy was dead, she didnt make the decision to kill him

Yeah, I guess it just seemed like she was making the decision that killing him was okay by letting them go. I suppose it's not the same thing, but it struck me as weird having that line in there.

That's the point the writers has two choices:

1. Have deb stay in character and she catches dexter

Or

2. Have her do something her character never would so dexter stays free.

That and the quinn stuff aren't realistic and the show is suffering because of it.

Really agree with Hipp here. The writers took the path that would lead to more seasons.

1>4>2>>>>5 >>>>>>>>>3 imo

it seems like they would critique an episode before releasing it, i mean im a noob and i can point out soo many flaws about that finale.

terrible season and a MASSIVE lol to Dexters car crashed at the scene and Deb putting a ****ing bullet hole in the wall.

gg writers.

i have more:

re: chase's plan to capture dexter


1. park tractor on road
2. have dexter crash into it
3. wait in bushes
4. got em

i know someone else did that eariler, but I'm expanding.


there are two options for chase

1. put the tractor in a spot where dexter will hit it 100% of the time
2. put the tractor in a spot where he might hit it


scenario 1:

dexter hits it, chase captures him after waiting in the bushes (also he doesn't know when dexter is arriving, if ever, so he might be outside for 3 days)


Scenario 2:

dexter hits the T sometimes, but sometimes he just drives right by, then chase has to run back to the camp so dexter doesn't just take lumen and get in the car and drive away.


so viewing these scenarios, if it's possible for dexter to get by if he's playing attention the plan is lol

if dexter is 100% going to hit it, then why didn't Detective Deborah Morgan hit the same tractor 30 minutes later?

also, if she somehow swerves the tractor, didn't she at least see it and the red car that's flipped on it's side. what ****ing ******ed cop doesn't call for back up at that point.


there are so many spots that the writers just ignore so dexter gets away it makes it unbearable to watch. so ridiculous

But Chase will watch to see where Dexter drove to get around the tractor/backhoe/whatever, and while Dexter rescues Lumen he will move the tractor there. Then Dexter, who btw is the worst driver in Miami, will certainly hit the tractor on the way back. Unless he lets Lumen drive. This may be a minor plot hole, sure, but lets assume Chase has psychoanalyzed Dexter sufficiently to know that he would never let Lumen drive.

Deb, like everyone else in Miami, is a better driver than Dexter.

She lacks peripheral vision. I have no proof of this but the plot requires it so it must be true.

beats his first plan to get him, which seemed like:

1. wait in corner of Emily's place with fire stoker
2. get 'em!

obviously he couldn't have his muscle around because he needed to keep everything secret, did he even have a gun or anything? Dexter is taking out his co-conspirators left and right and you're just gonna ambush him with a piece of metal, wat?

before the finale i said:

but they failed spectacularly. the show was starting to get sloppy last season too, but i think people overlooked it because of the performances from MCH and Lithgow. S5 was mostly a lot of hot AIDS. i guess they could still turn it around and redeem themselves in S6, as others have mentioned it should be pretty wide open, except that it should begin with serious suspicions from Deb and Quinn about Dexter. but somehow i doubt that it's going to magically get better, probably the contrary until people stop watching.

Wow. Two things about that interview/revelation:
1. So they devoted the whole season to the process of Dexter getting over Rita's death while not even knowing if there was going to be another season after this (they ofc had a better idea than the public but anyway it was announced just a week ago or so). And they did a really bad job at it. That interview makes me feel like all the non-relationships-related parts of s5 were just insignificant dibble dabble to fill up time.
2. If they have this kind of approach to the grand plot then now that the Rita thing is done and finished they can get back to making good television. We still have hope, this was just a bad "block" in the middle of the series and can be ignored if you don't care how Dexter handles life after his wife dies. Seriously why make that the be all end all of a whole season? I'm so tilted at this.

On other issues: far too many people are mentioning the bullet fired by Deb. Such an unimportant detail in the mess of hundreds of significant ones.
