I got nothing.
ReplyDeleteRoad trip no2?
ReplyDeletenot extradiction treaty in Argentina?
ReplyDeletedon'cry for me argentina?
A name perhaps?
i hope its not road trip no.2, i dislike that episode of season six.
ReplyDeletei wonder actor michael c hall is nominated for emmy for that episode...
I dislike it already lol
ReplyDeleteMichael chose the worst episode for the Emmys.
Miami is considered the crossroads of the Latin World, could have something to do with someone coming from Argentina, right? And why the hell would they have a roadtrip in Argentina? That would be one LONG roadtrip.
ReplyDeleteInteresting title.. They cant possible do another Dexter on vacation/ Roadtrip sequence..
ReplyDeleteI actually liked last season episode Nebraska.. But thats me.
Could be a reference to the song...
ReplyDeleteIt won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

I think you just hit it right on the head.
DeleteMay refer to someone's past? Hannah's maybe...
ReplyDeleteOr something to do with the Russian mob and sex trafficking.
Don't know how it could possibly tie in with Deb/Dex storyline? Metaphorically speaking, what else could it mean?!
Often when it comes to Deb/Dex centric episodes they use song titles, which is why I immediately thought of that song and posted the lyrics.
DeleteFor example "Return to Sender" in SEASON ONE: Was Deb/Dex centric - had the dual meaning, #1 That Brian brought that body back, and #2 the song itself is about two people who love each other fighting "We had a quarrel a lovers spat," And of course Deb is mad at Dexter, both in the past, and in the present and the episode ends with him saying "I'll give her some time."
Not to mention "Born Free" the last episode of S1 where they actually used the song in the episode, which was an episode where Brian wanted to kill Debra to "Free" Dexter, but Dexter rejected that and killed Brian to save Deb.
In season 4, the episode "Blinded by the Light" both refers to the light that Dexter smashes out, and the fact that both Dex and Deb both have all this "light" in their lives, these people who love them, yet it's making them both unhappy and they sit in the car and commiserate with each other... and we are led to understand that Deb and Dex both prefer "the darkness" because the light overwhelms them.

Wow. You must be the biggest fan of dexter out there.
DeleteYeah. Wow! So impressed with that level of knowledge and awareness.
DeleteI would only add that the title is 'Argentina' and not 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina' but I guess they wouldn't want to make it such an obvious reference?
Mmm not sure about this one at all. Leaning towards something that happened in the past for someone...

DeleteRight, that's why I said "could be", in no way am I saying "it is" or even predicting at a 50/50.
This one is a pure guess, but so far this year no song titles - and it popped into my head so, we'll see.
Z
fuck, im so excited to know more about this. Argentinian here. score!
ReplyDeleteHoly Smokes Anonymous 6:43 with the song title thing! WOW i Had NO idea
ReplyDeleteI got a good guess Doakes was in Argentina when some of the bhb killlings happend and its lugarta looking for clues.
ReplyDeleteThat's not a terrible guess, but the problem is, why would Doakes ever have gone to Argentina? It was so stable in the 90's that it was granted non NATO ally status.
DeleteZ
He was in black ops so that wouldnt matter Haiti isnt in nato either???
DeleteLucid129
DeleteYou did not understand. I was pointing out that Argentina is actually so close with the U.S. and so stable that they are "near" NATO status. Haiti is not even remotely close.

ReplyDeleteBut Haiti was an unstable regime that had U.S. Military intervention.
Throughout the 90's the United States ran embargoes, got resolutions from the U.N. Security council, ran covert military operations, and twice nearly pulled a full scale invasion on Haiti.
During that same time period, and later, Argentina was stable and a key ally, and transitioning into an economic boom as they were becoming a key supplier of soybeans, et. There would be absolutely no reason for Doakes to be in Argentina during that time frame.
HOWEVER, during that same time period and up to the current times, Argentina has had issues with the Russian Mafia. :)
So... pretty sure, like all Dexter titles, there will be two separate references, and a link with Isaac (Ray Stevenson's character).

Argentina could be a name... a weird name. Seriously, who would name their kid argentina? That is a weirder name than Dexter for a baby.
ReplyDelete3:30
DeleteCould be! I've met women named Peru, Brazil, and Panama! But, erm, they were strippers...
