Where they could go or what they could do to create a season than doesn't employ both of the above arcs I have no idea, but I feel like they have gone about as far down these two roads as they can go.
obv the 6th and final season will be Deb v Dexter imo

i don't really see that ever happening tbh and it's one of those things that sounds better than it would probably ever play out.

In a Season 1/2 flashback we see Dexter in the hospital with Harry. Dexter tells Harry that if "if you die, i'll have no one to turn to and be all alone" (paraphrasing). Harry tells Dexter that he can always turn to his sister for support; she will understand (Season 5 confirmed that Deb is all for vigilantes). So WHEN Dexter does get caught, if it is by his sister, she will not turn him in. However, I think if he doesn't tell her before she finds out on her own then she will be PISSED.

5. Quinn saw dexter/lumen dumping something into the ocean
6. Liddy calls quinn and says I need you because it's going down
7. Liddy dies
8. Batista says "whomever he was watching is the killer"


doesn't take a genius to connect the dots, so yea Quinn knows
Except I'm not sure if Liddy was talking about dexter in the last few episodes. I think he was just talking about "a big bust" and that he needed a real cop to make it official. Not sure if he said "we gotta bust Dexter"

Pretty sure Quinn is smarter than a box of rocks.

Wait, you're really of the opinion that Quinn doesn't know that Dexter killed Liddy?

Obv next season will be Dexter getting over Lumen. Season ends with Deb marrying Quinn, the season ends with Deb whispering to Quinn "I'm pregnant..." season's final shot goes to Quinn's face, shocked/surprised/scared

I don't know. It just seems weird that he'd think "this killer's walking about, but damn I wanna keep banging his sister"

More like "Dexter could've pinned this on me to help himself, but didn't, so maybe I will let it slide since I did send a crazy dude after him."

That makes no sense at all. You are trying way to hard to not see how bad the writing for this plot line is.
"This guy murdered his wife and a guy I know but DAMN I like ****ing his sister so I'm going to stay quiet because I don't want her mad at me(Afraid for her safety? No he only murdered his wife in my mind)"

Best thing that can happen in season 6 is to rename the show Masuka with the consequent obvious change in character importance and screen time.

I was never sure that Quinn's initial following up led to the idea that Dex killed his wife, just that he was somehow involved and there was a reason his wife was killed. This is all a bit sketchy and I would need to go back and rewatch the early episodes and damn i'm not doing that to myself.
12-20-2010 , 01:28 PM
Yeah I dont think Quinn thinks he killed Rita, just that he knows more than he is letting on and might be Kyle Butler etc
12-20-2010 , 02:55 PM
Quinn's reaction to Dexter/Liddy isn't a plot hole or bad writing. I was under the impression that about 24 hours past between the blood work clearing him and the final scene. That's a very brief amount of time for him to think of how to go about busting Dexter. The most important conflict for him that I thought the writers were getting at was that he has to admit to spying on/harassing Dexter after he had been suspended for doing so. He doesn't have any concrete evidence, so it could just blow up in his face and get himself fired if he just starts shouting out the truth. The Deb thing is minor compared to that. That's how I took the scene and in a season that I had numerous complaints with, I thought it was good.

If they take the angle next season of he's not sure whether to pursue Dexter because he likes banging Deb then I will take all this back.

so i just marathoned through this season of dexter yesterday. Got to say it was kind a disappointment.

Just read this thread as well and i'm loling at the fact no one predicted the season ending right after you find out the chicks name is lumen. so much lols where had when it turned out i was right. then i raged cuz the writers really are that cheesy.

for people who honestly don't know: lumen = light in latin (probably in spanish then too but i don't know.) The constant referencing of the darkness throughout the season set this entire spiel between these two as light and darkness up from the get go.

anyway, i saw this interview posted: http://www.tvguide.com/News/Dexter-F...b&profileid=01

I'm amazed this guy has the balls to claim that all the loose ends will be tied up before this series ends. there's freaking ten thousand of them. (and i honestly don't give a ****. people complaining about ****ing doors and **** and the bullet by morgan are totally blowing **** out of proportion and are general life nits.)

imo the series is going to get better the next season though, as the writer said: "we really wanted to wrap the whole rita thing up, so we could start where we wanted." it's true. after S4 they could not ignore rita and it needed to play a big role. i do not completely agree with what they did with this, but at least now they can do whatever the **** they want with the show again at the start of next season.

The creative people behind the show all seem to think this season was all about Rita's death in some way, but I didn't feel that way at all watching the season unfold. There were obvious references to her death throughout the season (hard not to have some), but it felt like just some other event in the show's history, not some transformational event that required an entire season to cleanse/resolve.

They were probably hamstrung with no Julie Benz to do flashbacks (which would probably have been the easiest way to drive home the impact/loss a little more), but It still didn't feel like as big of a deal as the writers seemed to think they made it out to be.

If they have to tell us its about ritas death they did a pretty poor job of writing.

i was 100% expecting duos with Harry and Rita giving Dex advice this past season
