Dexter has bigger tits than Lumen.

And don't forget cop chick from last season.

I love that it's finally starting to wrap up. Two guys know what Dexter is and will be doing, at least in terms of this season's killings and Deb and Quinn have a big hunch about a vigilante. The scene with Dex and Chase, just the fact that the cover had been blown on both of them made it awesome.

Changing the killing room was lame. Also, HC nitpicking, but lol @ the bright light in the first room, some serious moonshine there. Kind of meh that they found Lumen's fresh foot print but at least they didn't manage to trail it to the neighbor's house. That would've actually ruined it for me.
Surprised that Liddy wasn't nearby.

A pretty special thing going on between Chase and Emily. If she really told Lumen the truth then I guess she's mentally really damaged and brainwashed by Chase, not sure what to make of it after one viewing. Something was messed up with Alex Tilden. I thought for a moment that he was actually innocent, which would've been a compelling twist with regards to Lumen killing him.

Quinn should really start to put pieces together now: the initial suspicion that Dex was up to something sketchy, Liddy's photos showing Dex dump something into the sea with a young women that matches the general attributes of the barrel girls, the missing "13", Deb's theory of a vigilante (and specifically, the vigilante being "13").

Really anticipating the Liddy vs. Dex confrontation.

Weird, I can't remember a cop chick from s4 even if I try. I forget fast.

the relatively hot one who was selling her house and killed her whole family

YESSSSSSSSSSSS

Plz make Lumen a permanent fixture in the show next season. Stiles has been the best thing this season.

Also ive no idea where they are going to end the season but if i were willing to bet on it id go with Lumen is caught Deb who decides to let her go because of what she went through, Deb finds out about Dexter helping Lumen and Quinn finds out about this and kills robocop because he doesnt want Deb to find out and he actually respects Dexter more now he finds out he murdered some peeps and then next season is a sitcom and they start going on double dates and stuff until they decide to create a five man vigilante team with Masuka.

the way the guy said po-lice work made me miss the wire

lmao

Good ep except for the stuff after the kill.

Seems like either Quinn or Lumen will have ti kill Robocop, I'm hoping its Quinn.

Nit Q: shouldn't Deb be living in her/Dex's apt at this point? She did agree to move out but then she went to Quinn's so she should need a place to crash post-breakup, at least temporarily.

Skimmed thread lol:
- trinity killed rita.
- they were next door and it was obv and consistent with dex's M.O.; yes he killed Boyd in his house but that was an improv last minute thing, the kill room he planned was the warehouse off the highway.

this is a good point, she's def not staying at Quinn's anymore. They did mention that she stayed at the station all night one night but Deter wasn't prepared for that etc. etc.

The scene where dex took Chase's dna was so awesome.. and with liddy knowing whats up and Deb being so close and this...

i dont see how they can even find a way to mess up the conclusion of the season. The 1st 4 or 5 eps of this season the show sucked so much and it is back!!

I'm really liking this season now even though it started slow. Seems like they are laying a few hints about deb figuring out dexter's secret and maybe being ok with it

I don't see how there'd be any show left after this happens. I mean if this was some completely not serious Knight Rider type of series then I guess the detective sister and blood analyst/"good" vigilante brother duo could semi-conceivably work. But as it is, no wai.

True but at the same time I don't see how the show is not stupid after this season with her not finding out. Not that they would team up but I could see her not blowing him in right away..
I'm pretty much expecting her finding out to be a season ending cliff hanger at this point, would be pretty great. Seems like that is what is being foreshadowed.

Its hard to see where they are going, i assume someone is going to catch Dexter and Lumen, but i have no clue how that ends up. I assume next season doesnt turn into a ****ing courtroom drama or some such ******** though.

I 100% back the comments that this season started slow but it got really good over the last few eps. If they end it right i would probably put it equal or above season 3. I dont want to say i told you so, but far too many of you doubted it would rebound pretty much from the first ep. Last season started fast and it kept pace throughout, this one has built up gradually.

Fingers crossed they end it well and other fingers crossed that they end on another awesome point so i look forward to the next season a lot.

How does her finding out rule out the show being serious? It will/would be immensly hard to write it in a good way but it's deff possible imo. Don't forget Dexter isn't just a rando serial killer that can hide it well, he was trained by Deb's father, and has made it his life to make the world a safer and better place. Not saying Deb would be like "lol pretty wtf but i guess ur still a good guy eh", but she wouldn't turn him in immediately, either, or be repulsed in such a fashion she can't face him anymore.

It's also likely that if she finds out she doesn't see or understand the whole picture instantly, either. If she were to find out this season Dexter could make up a story about him meeting Lumen and wanted to help her fix her life etc without revealing that he has been doing more than that over the past few years.


While it is THE make-or-break-point for this show, I think Deb will deff find it out before the show ends for good.

Robocop gets killed by Quinn after Deb finds out that Dexter is the vigilante and he threatens to expose Dexter. It's a win /win for all involved. Quinn proves he loves Deb by protecting Dexter. Quinn and Dexter both have dirt on each other, and it sets up an awesome new dynamic for next season with Deb knowing Dexter is a killer.

Agreed.

The progression of the show so far has been Dexter finding out things about his past and what made him what he is and on a much lesser scale Deb finding out some of the same stuff. It's building up to something and creates the constant excitement. If Deb figures it all out AND decides it's ok and lets Dex continue to do his thing, that tension disappears and the premise changes.

Thus far all the people who have learned Dex for what he is have mainly been his villains whom he has subsequently killed (iirc Jonah knows Dex killed his dad but that has barely been addressed this season). Lumen is the exception but she's killing alongside Dex and we don't know what will happen with her over the long haul (hope she dies lol).

To summarize, in the case of Deb finding out and not really doing anything about it, the situation sort of stabilizes which is bad in this context. I dunno, tell me how the show would be anything but a trainwreck if Dex and Lumen become this vigilante duo that does righteous kills blessed by Deb the detective...

Right now I think it'd probably be the best for the show if Dex gets caught in the end of next (and final) season. You can stretch some things only so long before ruining them.

Nitpick from last night's episode:

wtf is the deal with that chick whose blood Jordan Chase carries around turning out to be working with him? Stupid, stupid twist imo. It makes no sense, the thing with him not wanting her to touch him was stupid and forced, and it being Jordan's "plan" or whatever for Dexter and Lumen to take out Alex also served little purpose.

Would have been much more interesting if Alex had nothing to do with it and Jordan used his influence over that chick to set him up - if she says his name and they plant those trinkets in his house, boom, they kill an innocent guy. As played, kiiiiiinda dumb and unnecessary.

+1, would be awesome!

How does everyone rank Jonny Lee Miller in the series? He plays the role to perfection IMO. In terms of bad guys? Dexter's Brother > Trinity > Jordan Chase > the rest. Maybe too early to say since we still have 1 (?) episode left.

When Quinn and Deb were going to the guy's house, I thought for sure they'd walk in and find the kill room, with blood still trickling down the guys side. That would have been great imo. (All the photos were from the police work so that would have had to be addressed tho).

All in all, I liked the episode. One of the better ones this season.

2 eps left. Last night was ep 10, all the seasons are 12 eps long.

did nobody else question that that Cole literally busted through the hotel room door in episode 7 I guess right before they killed him?

how did they patch that up so quick?!?! so gay

As for Deb finding out it has to more or less be the end of the show. If she finds out at the end of this season id be shocked if they dont end the show next year and more likely id expect her to find out early in a season rather than at the end of one.

Most likely is Quinn finds out about Dexter and Lumen via robocop, as has been said he can easily piece together Lumen being number 13, something happens where Quinn chooses to protect Dexter and Lumen (maybe he destroys all the evidence, maybe he goes so far as to kill him), we get a will he tell Deb or not ending which is going to be a major theme for next season.

With the dramatic pause that Elizabeth chick did right before she named Alex, I was really hoping for a different name. Maybe not quite Quinn, but something better. Like Trinity's son or something.

Frankly, I think Quinn finding out about Dexter is much more interesting than Deb finding out. I just hope they go in that direction soon, as this season will pretty much be a waste if nothing comes of the Robocop subplot.
