Dexter: season 5 Dexter: season 5

Meh, if it was another Rita or a nutjob like Season 2 chic then yes I'd be not too thrilled. But this actually kind of makes sense.

I feel they failed a tad with the chemistry leading up to his last episode though.

Let me clarify: Mostly, I hate the fact that he has a killing partner now. When Dexter sat down and Lumen stabbed that dude, I wanted to puke.

Why were they using a different kill room, apparently next door when killing Alex? Was this explained?

Because Dexter doesn't kill in places where he could be disturbed. They knew little to nothing about Alex, maybe he has soccer night every thursday night and people would be knocking on his door.

Dexter's smart. I assumed he realized that since the cops were on to Cole and Boyd, that they'd find Alex pretty quickly too and didn't want to risk it.

I don't see how you can hate this scene for being unlike anything we've seen before.

If anything, you can resent the fact that we've seen it before.

Nobody else recognized Alex?

i thought everyone else would have recognized jonny lee miller as zero cool and the red headed dude from BoB

Does everyone agree that this is the worst season so far?

Lumen can't act for ****.
farfetched story/plot
deb gets more annoying every season
corny music and development


so tilted.

Nope, it's better than season 3 for sure. Depending on the ending I like it more than 4 as well (everyone always forgets how mediocre it was due to Lithgow owning)

lol we've been over this. Show has never been realistic, not even close. Chase is no less farfetched than Trinty or Prado or even the Ice Truck Killer. In all likelihood you were just able to look past it on those seasons cause you were enjoying the show more, which is fine but it's silly to start complaining in season 5 like "you know, I don't think this could happen in reality!"

I don't like Deb, but I think she's clearly less annoying now then at any Anton related time.

I think its way better than season 3 and kinda close to s4 but I didnt like s4 as much as most ppl. Despte the start of this season blowing, where we are right now in this season I haven't enjoyed the show this much since s2

The Miami PD or at least Quinn and Deb need to put some fingers to Dexter and Lumen soon or else the incompetence will become a big plot hole.

I hoping we get sort of a batman & batgirl & robin type thing going on for next season. Deb and Quinn are a happy couple cool with Dexter dishing out vigilante justice. Turns out Quinn has inherited Bruce Wayne type money.

1>2=4>5>3

I don't really see 5 moving up imo. Dexter is just so good even a sub-par season is awesome

I'm with you. I don't actually think this season is that bad as well.

and yes, the "dexter and lumen were actually in the house next door" reveal was vintage prison break. i lost count of how many times pb pulled that exact trick.
they did kill the killers already


my predicition without reading this weeks responses and not knowing any spoiler info at all:


liddy goes to quinn with the "he's teaching her to kill video" quinn figures out they are the vigilantes, but tells liddy to stfu because of these reasons:

1. dexter turned a blind eye to the money thing
2. doesn't want deb to be hurt

so liddy ends up going over his head, and quinn either gives dexter a heads up or something.

=

robocop gonna die


but now quinn knows about dexter

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.

there are 5 guys, 4 guys and chase. 4 guys that can put him in jail for life or death row. 3 of those guys are dead. if the 4th guy dies, and there isn't dna, he's not going to jail for life.


using dexter seems like a nice way to tie up a loose end.

i saw it mentioned earlier, but aren't we to assume that Robocop followed Dexter/Lumen to the kill house and then watched them take bags out of the house, and then took those bags to the pier, and came back from the water sans bags?

I mean, i'm no PI, but that's what I would do. He doesn't have audio or video inside of alex's house, but he sure can just drive his car and take pictures like he did before.

there is a line between S&M videos and crazy porn and


12 girls being brutally raped. It's ridiculous to think normal people would get off on that. Vince can be this crazy sex talk guy but comepletely disgusted with girls getting gang raped and murdered.

I think the resolution of season 5 five is going to make or break whether it's going to land right in the middle of the pack or be just ahead of three. I still haven't decided if I want Lumen for another season. It's pretty cute to see someone he can open up with and be completely himself but it's too good to be true. I can see some sort of mangled finale where after she takes out Chase and/or Robocop, Quinn and Deb catch Lumen and Id her as the 13th victim. Quinn figures Dexter was helping her out of grief and resentment over Rita's death to help his guilt. Quinn offers Dexter a deal to be quiet about his relationship with Lumen if Dexter lets him stay with Deb and not bring up the money grabbing from crime scene.
