Of course the writing is awful but MCH has gotten significantly worse too. He seems so bored of the show and his acting has changed much in a bad way since season 3 and 4. Not that anyone can blame him with this kind of writing staff to back him up.

I do have one theory for how the show could wind down and I'd feel like it would at least make a tiny bit of sense:

Once Harry realized Dexter's psychotic tendencies as a child, he enlisted the help of Matthews for dealing with it, and with the help of newly introduced psychologist lady, the 3 of them concocted the monster Dexter was made into. So fast forward to La Guerta's death. She confided her facts in Matthews, who strangely enough is now back working in the police force, and has conveniently not brought to light any of those details. The reason he hasn't is because he has known the truth this whole time, and he sees Dexter might be spiraling out of control so he feels it's his duty to be closer to Dexter to monitor him better (why he is out of retirement and back in the force).... in which likewise, he has called in psychiatrist lady to further come in to try to "save" Dexter and get him back to being the bad guy killer they wanted him to be, that or else determine he's beyond saving and do in their monster once and for all.

I don't know if I'd feel satisfied if the show ended in this style (be it they somehow turn him into the careful controlled killer he once was, or they decide he's evil and kill him/arrest him), but I'd at least feel like this ending makes sense for why Dexter (and Debra given that her bullets are inside La Guerta) got entirely skipped over as being a potential suspect.

Anything other than this would be pure monkey poop

I don't understand how people could hate the ****ingpassword scene. I loved it, and know people that have used that as a password after being frustrated it would not let them use password as their password. And it is totally in line with Deb's character.

This season opened in pretty much the same vein it left off last year. Multiple diverging story lines, as if the writers still aren't sure how to continue the season, random laughable scenes that are completely out of place, and generally horrible writing and predictability.

New serial killer in town, random new character, Deb going bananas, Quinn and babysitter's relationship - too many things happening that don't really fit together. This was one of the problems in previous seasons that people here really hated, and they are continuing in the same fashion. All hope that this season would redeem the previous few is out the window.

Guy cut me off? Sure let's cut him off and choke him. Are they implying that Dexter would have killed that dude if the kid wasn't sitting in the back?

Hack into Deb's CC site? Sure, let me just sit down, think for about 5 seconds, and bingo, unfettered access to sensitive financial information.

The spontaneous killing of the jewelry thief was believable. What isn't believable is that Dexter would let someone call the cops 2 minutes after a murder with evidence everywhere and no time to clean up.

I do think that they will reveal later how they covered up Laguerta's murder. It's something everyone is interested in, and even the ****** writers won't omit that. Or maybe they are ******ed enough to ignore it...

Yes, but you'll watch the next episode anyway and whine about it. Like everyone else for the past 5 seasons now.

To those whining about deb's password. The average working man is just that dumb when it comes to computer. Theres a reason why script kiddies have so much success with no knowledge. Most of living humans have no understanding of consequences outside of murder/thievery because of seeing people constantly punished on the news throughout their lives. People dont think someone can steal off all their money or their wife can leave them after a year with half what they owe. Regular humans are tarded. Us poker player have been blessed with millions in money stolen to scare the bajesus and make us protect even an account with 3.5$

I swear my dad high up in finance(and far from tarded) and for like 6 years he had his goddamn password on a post-it directly on the monitor.

I think you may have misinterpreted the ending to American Psycho.

The only hope I have about this season is the potential for this thread to reach the levels of hilarity that we got from The Walking Dead season 2 thread.

The difference is that people actually had hope/expectations that TWD season 2 would be good. Here hope has already been replaced by a grim determination to see it through to the end.

I usually do not care about upcoming episodes trailers, but this time I watched it and

Spoiler:
does one scene in the trailer seem to suggest that actually Debra didn't kill Laguerta? The angle of the gun shooting in respect to the light... That would be super-******ed

Are you serious? I thought everyone lost hope in TWD after s01e02, I know I did. Dexter is a far better show overall imo

I didn't hold out any hope, I agree with you that after S01e02 it wasn't worth watching. However, I think we were in the minority.

OK, maybe I gave them more credit than they deserve, but I thought they explained LaGuerta. Make it look like she shot the guy that killed Dexters mom and he shot her at the same time. Possibly even involving removing Debs bullet from her and shooting her in the exact same place with his gun.

Backed up by Dex telling Angel that if Laguerta had just let it go she wouldn't have died. Because she was tracking that bad guy to try to get at Dexter.

Same here.

I have liked every season and am sad to see the show end. However, I am sure I will not be disappointed on how they do end this series.

I am very excited to see it return and I liked episode 1 of season 8!

They need to make Garrison some kind of demon child serial killer, and Dexter will have to take him down because Harrison doesn't have a code. But first He ass-rapes the Asian dude. ...just because.

And we better see that random topless chick from the beginning again. This time, bottomless
