Dexter Season Eight: The ordeal will finally be over - Page 28

Well he had the urge to kill, and he channeled it on killing the people that were hurting his mother. It wasn't like he was killing purely to help his mother.

Has he killed anybody else that we know of? I guess the idea is that once he killed, he enjoyed it so much that he wanted to keep doing it, but I just find it to be lazy writing. I'd also be surprised if this subplot ties into the ending in any substantive way which makes it a waste to me.

Maybe I'm missing something but when did they establish that Cassie was Dexter's neighbor? She went from nanny's friend to neighbor in one episode for me.

think it was mentioned a couple times earlier, then last ep she came out of her place to see what was going on when crazy assburgers kid was banging on Dexter's door because he had a bloodlust boner or whatever

and yeah, can't wait for the big twist next week when it somehow wasn't him who did it, lol

This is probably the best way for the story to go from an entertainment standpoint. Which, of course, means that Oliver is a murderer for some reason and that arc will be wrapped up very conveniently next episode.

I hope they drop the Harrison story line without explaining it.

I'm pretty sure she was a neighbor from the start. She met the nanny because she went from her place next door to Dexter's looking for something. That's why she was still in his place when he arrived home.

Oh wait, the entire US Marshal team is looking for her".

actually would make sense to get the story moving towards the end. Obviously means they won't do it.

Dexter going down for a murder he didn't actually commit would be one of the most interesting possible endings to the show. Which virtually guarantees that they won't do it.

So no one knows why Dexter was taken to a random spot and dropped there?

Hanna is stronger than she looks, managed to drag Dexter to her car and kill her husband.

Her explanation was uh.. that she had wanted Dexter to poison her husband. Logical, right?

This was not Hannah's best episode. I don't think she said one thing that made any sense.

Hannah has good episodes? I haven't enjoyed anything about her character or storyline, and since this is the first thing I've seen Yvonne Strahovski in, she's just another hot girl to me. I would be totally fine if she just got snap murdered in the first scene of Sunday's episode.

I've come across some older articles on the net where a writer mentioned originally they were planning on 7 seasons but they extended it to 8 in order to tell their story as if there's any cohesion at all to the show.

Lol'd when a writer mentioned how they knew how they wanted to end the story and that they needed 2 seasons to do it and the last 2 seasons are going to be a build up to the finale. We're like what 4-5 episodes away and there's no build up or suspense whatsoever.

I'm sure they absolutely needed to tell the story of the Brain Surgeon , some lame killer who got 15 minutes of screentime.

What would've been most interesting with this season IMO was if it had started off directly after the La Guerta killing and it ended with Dexter going down for her murder even though it's the one he didn't actually commit.

So ****ing annoyed the melon ball killer thing is done (not that I was actually interested). That wasn't the dude they said it was' thing at all. He broke their toes and buried them in his back yard and grew rose bushes on them. How the **** is he also the melon ball killer, case closed?

- Serial killers are almost portrayed like vampires who have some biological need to do what they do and can't control themselves. I'm no expert on sociopathic mass murderers but I don't think that's quite how it works.

- The woman he killed is a meaningless character. Dexter showed mild interest towards her and then backed off right when that other dude showed up. Are we supposed to care? What was the point of introducing her character?

- Presumably this means the kid winds up back on Dexter's table and nothing interesting ever emerges from this storyline which actually had potential to not completely suck. The kid isn't going to outsmart Dexter, and even if he does there's a horseshoe lodged directly in Dexter's ass to bail him out. We've seen it time and time again.

Essentially the whole plot seems to have been filler. Hell, the entire season has basically been filler to this point, and if the end of the show goes through Hannah, they're butchering that too.

Silly me for thinking they'd actually redeem themselves with a satisfying final season. This is just pathetic.
