I might have disagreed until finding out that they're expecting there to be a season 7. Finding that out makes me worry the finale won't be nearly as insane as I was hoping. Will still be a sick episode I'm sure, but I was rooting for an absolutely ridiculous cliffhanger.

I realize they didn't do the "nice little package" ending last year, but if they do it this year, I'll be extremely disappointed. They sure do seem to be setting up the "Deb is sympathetic to Dexter being a 'good-guy killer'" angle, but I just get the feeling that they're going to take the easy way out, wrap everything up, and leave us right back at square one.

no, deb is sympathetic to lumen being a good serial killer.

Why do people watch the previews, especially before a finale? There's obv going to be major spoilers.

The preview came on immediately after the episode of the copy I watched. It's the first preview I've seen all season.

why not watch a preview? like watching it without previews gives you something else?? the previews are very cleverly done and just manipulate to think what's"going to happen".

That plus the blood makes it look like Liddy was blackmailing Quinn by threatening to rat him out to IA and Quinn killed him for it. The only thing that could possibly save Quinn is the folder of photo's of Dexter and Lumen he has since they are the only evidence Quinn's got of what Liddy was actually working on. And I somehow doubt Dexter will let him keep those.

Spoiler:
In the scene it is a man's arm, it wouldn't be beyond them to make double scenes to trick us, though. You can check the preview again on SpoilerTV if you wish.


Opinion on episode:
-Him killing Liddy is such a weird line to take, I know it's "playing the hand you're dealt" (lolol irritating poker reference), but now he knows Quinn is going to be at least on to him again after an "innocent" man that was investigating Dexter winds up dead. Did not like the twist, either.
-The brothers plot line seems to be over? Don't know how they're going to tie it in this set up. Unless somehow they get a lead on Jordan Chase and the brother at the same time and they split up, and Laguerta and/or Batista ends up being killed by him? If it's over though, I'm very disappointed in the writers.
-Jordan is a badass, it almost seems like he's superhuman imo.
-Burpfartcat is awesome
-I think the whole episode hints to the series eventually ending with Dexter's fall. He has knowingly killed 2 innocents this season, I think they want us to gradually start seeing him in a different light and seeing him as a bad man.

Oh boy did I cringe when we met wife of the late dentist. Possibly the most appalling combination of bad looks and bitchy/******ed roles I've seen. Glad that this was a short-lived throwaway character.

Dexter was perhaps the most relaxed and normal in a social environment that I've seen so far when he was with Lumen at the beach this episode. Might be noteworthy.

i'm not very happy with how liddy went down like a bitch and now it seems that it's just going to get coincidentally pinned on quinn. and i'm also mad that liddy never once said anything like "dexter is the bay harbor butcher, i have all the proof, get down here and arrest him" instead of "i've got a big arrest you need to come make"
I share your sentiments. I was kind of hoping Quinn would find out just to avoid going back to sq one. I dislike if they now just wrap it all up nicely after building up all this suspension. Besides, I kinda feel bad for Quinn (lol) if he ends up taking the blame and goes to jail or whatever.

Oh and Liddy dying just like that was a huuuge anticlimax, was definitely expecting more of it. Btw thumbs up that they didn't have Dex somehow deduce that it wasn't Quinn behind the surveillance but someone else. Small detail but I've seen similar in Dexter before and it would've bugged me.

The optimal finale for me would probably be Quinn going away for murdering Liddy but casting a pitch black shadow on Dex. That's pretty elementary, though, I don't have abundant imagination over this. I'm still torn between hoping a short but epic and deserving end to the series (Dex gets caught rather quickly) and the alternative where he doesn't get caught and doesn't really even get any heat, thus allowing a few more action packed seasons (which will suffer because we don't really buy that he's not got caught yet). At least (not having seen the previews etc.) I can still hope Lumen gets killed next week (can't remember if her involvement in next season was already confirmed or not), I found myself wondering whether Chase had actually killed her after all when Dex got to Emily's house.

Hopefully we don't be left in the dark regarding Emily's and Chase's relationship. I don't quite get it. What was she getting from it? Had she been atoned for by Chase for the torture (we are still assuming all that she told Lumen was true, right?)? Even if she was, didn't she care about the other victims? Didn't she have enough evidence on Chase & co. not to be scared of the retributions? Evidently Chase's mental grip was powerful enough to offset the lack of any physical boundaries. Meh.

It frequently does on my copies, too; doesn't prevent me from clicking stop.

Also, huge +1 for the one who said that Chase didn't seem to have a plan for Dex and Lumen. WTF really, did they actually just forget about that or what? And yeah I do think that the plan should've been shown somehow if he had one, the conveniency of Dexter not showing up in time doesn't make it unnecessary.

Confirmed:


However, the Deb scene might be way out of context with the Dex scene, and that he drops he's knife to Jordan, You can also see Lumen with her hands up, so clearly he is pointing a gun at her

Spoiler:
does anyone else think that Deb will think that Emily was the 13th victim and the vigilante? makes sense imo

My theory: Emily becomes Ms13, Deb says freeze to Quinn -> Dexter help him out somehow, Dexter drops knife to Jordan, Quinn links robocop and Dexter but chose to forget about it as Dex helped him out earlier

How would Quinn ever get in that spot?
12-06-2010 , 09:37 AM
worst episode ever? I mean... was he going to kill Quinn? Killing Robocop was just loltarded and has ruined the season for me.

Same here...I like this episode because you can feel Dexter's world unraveling completely..
Quinn getting pinned for murder would be ****ing ******ed to the point I would be done with the show.

+1 to both of this. i always start talking really loud, look away, get up and stop it as quickly as possible.

Very good episode, excited for the finale.
12-06-2010 , 11:46 AM
I didn't really like how they handled the whole Liddy situation. It makes no sense to me for Dexter to just leave it there when he could have just driven the van to a safer location.

Did you really not see Robocop dying when he had footage of Dexter/Lumen? How are people so bad at watching TV?

Good episode, just hope the finale isn't a letdown.
12-06-2010 , 01:33 PM
Killing Liddy went against Dexter's code though, even though he wasn't good guy by any means he still wasn't murderer either.
