The whole idea that Deb would ever stalk or hunt Dexter is not going to work.<br /><br />Nobody believed Doakes because Doakes always hated Dexter. Deb however, has always adored her brother and protected him. Everyone knows this. So if she suddenly suspected Dexter, the entire world would suspect him and it would be over in a heartbeat.<br /><br />The only believable way that Deb could ever hunt Dexter, is if he was caught and went on the run. And let me ask everyone here, would you really want a rehash of "The Fugitive" for the last two seasons of the show? That would take the show too far away from its roots.<br /><br />Nope, the only way for the show to work going forward, is that Deb finds out, and becomes a member of our club, "the accomplices". ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720134522106170985.post-16130611572106071172011-12-04T00:48:11.905-05:002011-12-04T00:48:11.905-05:00Brian showing up was not pointless.

Also, fans aren't going to just quit watching a show like DEXTER, no matter what their complaints are. They will continue watching because they want to see the resolution. After the first four seasons, how could you expect someone not to be curious about where the show is going?<br /><br />I have complaints about these past two seasons, as well, but I think the show has still been good enough to keep my attention. The show still has a lot of possibility to surprise us, and that is a very good reason to keep watching. Also, we are pretty much guaranteed a strong performance by the cast, even if the writing isn't particularly thrilling. The main cast will at least make it entertaining, because they're still the same characters we have grown to care a great deal about over the years.<br /><br />I think some fans of the show who seem to do nothing but complain, would agree that the positive still outweighs the negative. The overall show is still a pleasure to watch, and none of us feels gulity about that, either. A gulity pleasure is supposed to be something you are somewhat afraid to admit. I am more than willing to delare my love of this show, and I am grateful that we have two more years to invest in the story and its interesting characters.<br /><br />It would be a mistake for to to not recognize the great post that Anonymous (December 3rd @ 2:49) made. There are many things in that post that I haven't really thought about, and I find that I agree with most of what that poster said. We have just gotten used to Dexter being the All-American Family Man, and witnessing him keeping his dark secrets from those that love him. That was just a very special aspect of the show when Dexter's family would see him as a harmless lab geek. It just felt like Dexter was letting us in-on his true feelings and urges. In a way, it made us (the audience) feel like accomplices, because Dexter shares everything with us in his inner-monologues. The narration is really the only way we are able to connect and identify with Dexter. That narration is part of what makes the show so great, and that is something that will never change.<br /><br />Lastly, Change can be great for a series and give it new life, but a show must keep some familiarity, or it will completely alienate its fans. For me, the show hasn't strayed too far from what I originally loved about the series, and that is another reason why I will never quit watching. I think two more seasons is very reasonable to allow for the writers to give us a proper ending.Nicholas M.

You have to understand. I am a guy who works as a photographer in real life. I specialize in glam photography - you know, Maxim, FHM, Stuff, Playboy, et. My work days consist of trying to make conversations with 18 to 25 year old girls about their boyfriends, their clothes, where they are going to party tonight, and all other sorts of fluff.<br /><br />Being able to actually talk in multiple syllables is a HUGE release! So I enjoy the hell out of these Dexter blogs! <br /><br />Perhaps you need to understand, that "intelligent" conversation does not always equate to "serious" conversation. There is no time when I am typing on this blog when I am not having a good time talking about this stuff, it's really the only reason I post because it's fun to discuss this minutia, it's part of being a fan, and for me, a way to keep my sanity and discourse with people I can relate too.<br /><br />I too enjoy the lighter moments of Dexter. In fact my one chief complaint about this season is that there hasn't been enough funny stuff. It is, after all, and "absurd" show - but that doesn't mean we have to have conversations at grade school or kindergarten level.<br /><br />Peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720134522106170985.post-33578542504687303952011-12-03T17:29:09.390-05:002011-12-03T17:29:09.390-05:00that's your problem. you take everything too s...that's your problem. you take everything too seriously. like the answer you just gave. I like deep conversations but there is a difference between deep conversations being made on a fictional show like Dexter, the Robin Hood serial killer or summat. and I understand they can exist and I appreciate that fact but you have to chill out a bit and accept that satira exists too. And on a more serious note because I have been a good fan of the show, Deb would kind of make sense ending up with a woman too. I don't know what Gilligan's Island is, it sounds pretty boring. Anyway, I've watched the L word and I didn't like it as much as I like Dexter. Dexter thrills me and I appreciate it for both of its intense storyline and it's little light funny moments like the latin music combination with the killings and characters like Masuka etc etc. No further comments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720134522106170985.post-27827483705231429502011-12-03T16:54:34.277-05:002011-12-03T16:54:34.277-05:00If you are going to watch a show about a vigilante...If you are going to watch a show about a vigilante serial killer and his inner struggle for humanity, and make posts about it on the board, you can probably expect deep conversations.<br /><br />My suggestion:<br /><br />If you don't want tight ass critiques, there is always Gilligan's Island, and if you want to watch lesbians, there was another Showtime series called the L Word that ran for 6 seasons.

I've found that whenever I am dealing with someone who is not willing to listen to reason, and just wants to rant about a show - it's best to tune them out. Don't let the get to you.<br /><br />There are issues with the show, but I think people don't always see what they are, and tend to pick on things that are "bugging them" rather than the things that have changed that they don't notice. Dexter not having a family has put more of the story on other cast members who are not as "connected" to Dexter Morgan. This takes us "away" from Dexter, which hurts the show a little.<br /><br />I still love the show, but it's more on Deb's shoulders now. She is the last real connection Dexter has.<br /><br />I get that teen actors are difficult to have on set on such an adult show, and having Dexter as a single dad of three kids is a writer's nightmare as far as logistics, but Astor and Cody just being "out" of Dexter's life seems awkward after four years of developing them in Dexter's life. Not even mentioning them, not even having him on the phone with them... is just a bizarre choice, one that I avidly disagree with. Not to mention that they are "foundation" characters, and such rich opportunities arise from being able to cash in on all the development that went on in previous seasons.<br /><br />My single favorite episode of season 5, was "Teenage Wasteland" and what was that about? Dexter having to deal with a teenage daughter. We have real terror that the bad guys might get her, we laugh hysterically when Dexter and Astor are on the coach and he notes that she is "winning", and we were all extremely satisfied watching Dex beat the snot out of Barry.<br /><br />One of the most satisfying aspects of the show is when Dexter's domestic world makes contact with his monster. All kinds of things can happen, like Rita being shocked when Dexter beats someone up, or random mundane antagonists who have no clue what they are dealing with, feel the wrath of the Dexter the Dark Avenger!<br /><br />Removing Dexter's family, and leaving him only with a tiny child that cannot comprehend any of this stuff - takes all those moments of revelation away. Now there is nobody in Dexter's life who can be surprised or startled by what he can do.<br /><br />The only moment we had like that this year, was the garage scene with brother Sam. As much as I liked Moss Def, he was a new character so the impact was diminished. Had Dexter taken someone apart like that in front of, say, Astor, or Deb, or Cody, it would have been so much more satisfying because it's a payoff for all those years invested in them thinking he is just a lab geek.<br /><br />Which is why I am begging for a moment this season when he does something very "Dark Dexter" in front of Deb. This could be the fun part about her finding out, is that she gets to see just how badass her brother is, that he is not at all the mild mannered nerd, that he's "Batman with a Butcher Knife"<br /><br />Ah, the possibilities.<br /><br />I think this season could wind up being better than 3 or 5, but we will see how it plays out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720134522106170985.post-57783212499119961062011-12-03T14:20:32.653-05:002011-12-03T14:20:32.653-05:00A much closer relationship between Deb and Dexter ...A much closer relationship between Deb and Dexter would be very interesting to watch. What I really missed from the previous seasons was this deep connection. Dexter did pretty much nothing from season 2 to season 6 but to listen to Deb and said nothing. It was very annoying. But I don't see how this would work between them. Dexter is still a soulless Monster. He hasn't really changed anything from season 1 and with this religious journey he just became even more scarier. And now Dexter is working against Debra.

It's like one person said on here a few days ago, it's like complaining about Dexter has become "cool". I just don't understand why if people have so much negative crap to say about a show, then why do you keep watching it? That is just ignorant. As for other replies, I can talk points of the show, and debate things about the show with the best of them, I just let my emotions get the best of me on a few occasions. But now I realize that I was wrong to rant and curse like that. So onto the show. I think this season has been amazing. Scott Buck has shown he has what it takes to lead this show. I feel like the DDK plot has been very interesting, even though it has been slow at points. The best thing about this season is watching the change in dynamic between Deb and Dexter, but I really loved Brian coming back into the picture, and while some say it was pointless, I thought it was great to see Dexter cut loose a little bit, MCH and Christian have an amazing chemistry on screen. They should have kept it by the book with Brian, and left him alive at the end of season 1. I can't wait to see the last 3 episodes of this season, I think we are going to see Deb find out some version of what Dexter really is. I think we will see her walk in on Dexter killing Travis, and the look on her face and the look on Dexter's face will be the final scene of the season.JessieJamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720134522106170985.post-78762298925782594152011-12-03T10:10:24.618-05:002011-12-03T10:10:24.618-05:00Anonymous at 10:45

It's not that uncommon of a story for foster siblings to fall in love and even marry. Is it peculiar? Yes. Disgusting? That's going a bit far. There is no DNA relation. Even in strict religions such as Islam, Judaism, and Orthodox Christianity - it usually states that foster siblings may marry as long as they have no parent in common.<br /><br />Yes, it's obvious there are romantic feelings, but that's probably because of the actors and their history, and the writers have responded and played around with it. Their first season together in the pilot in that hotel room when she is in her hooker suit, the way she looks at him is just pure puppy love, it makes me laugh. But THAT is Jennifer and Michael flirting on set, they are falling for each other right there. That was one of the things that developed on accident, it was not there in the book. For example, in season one the thing they changed from the book is Brian having a relationship with Deb, that just wasn't there. He kidnapped her, but she was a stranger to him. Deb falling in love with Brian, who is Dexter's ACTUAL blood brother, and who is supposed to "look and act" like Dexter in personality and mannerisms, is the clincher. Deb responds to Brian immediately - she cries when she is with him, why? Because he reminds her of Dexter who is the person she really loves.<br /><br />These writers are good. Very clever stuff.<br /><br />But this is all subtext.<br /><br />Deb worships her brother, we get that. Is it going to go past that? No way. It's just going to stay where it is. It's the replacement for the "unrequited love story" that most series subsist on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720134522106170985.post-14262523863330308462011-12-02T22:45:35.063-05:002011-12-02T22:45:35.063-05:009:59

I don't even care if they just sit on the couch in Dexter's apartment and drink beer and B.S. for an entire season. It's those two actors and the characters they play that draw me into the show, not kill rooms, or villains, or crime scenes. As all great writers and producers of a show always say "It's the characters stupid!"<br /><br />I truly believe Travis killing his own sister is going to be the catalyst for Dexter opening up to Deb and letting her in, just like I think that Deb's recent revelations on the psychiatric couch about how much she loves her brother are going to be the plot point that allows us to understand that she could never turn him in. This will open up the show in so many ways. How does Deb deal with this on a day to day basis?<br /><br />I think this cop from Chicago is going to be the new Doakes. The guy is good, way better than Quinn, and better than Doakes as well. He is smart, and he is in control.

I feel like this season has definitely established an extremely dark and disturbing vibe into the series, something that will likely consist into the later seasons. I also find the Travis and Gellar plot to be very unique, even if it does seem like a distraction. And with three episodes to go, you can't be certain that Dexter WON'T learn anything from these events. In fact, he's already has learned a great deal this season, specifically from Brother Sam. Upon failing to forgive nick per Sam's request, Dexter learned that it's too late for him to abandon his Dark Passenger. However, this did lead him to realize that he can help others get rid of their own, similar to how he helped Lumen last season. <br /><br />What many fans fail to see is that ever since Season 4, Dexter is becoming much less selfless. He's putting his life on the line for others and considering his values, not to mention what he wants to pass on to his son: The traits a good Samaritan. And with every new season, he's learning from his mistakes. You can't possibly deny that. <br /><br />Now don't be quick to assume that he absolutely must learn a moral lesson out of Travis' situation. Because no, he doesn't HAVE to learn anything from the villain. It's the season's theme in general that he'll have to learn from. Travis is now his obstacle. How will Dexter deal with it? We can't say for sure until the finale. <br /><br />I honestly don't think it's best to judge this season until: <br /><br />1. It's concluded. <br />2. You consider everything that's happened in a deep and thorough analysis, not to mention others' opinions.<br />3. Hey, it's better than NO Dexter at all! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720134522106170985.post-73611923988750520302011-12-02T18:44:05.359-05:002011-12-02T18:44:05.359-05:00@Jessie James.
I see your posts eveyr week, even a...@Jessie James.<br />I see your posts eveyr week, even as a competely devoted fan myself, u fucking creep me out lol. What a nutjob. Fans are actually able to critcise and critque the show u know??? Like i said, i am an absolutely massive fan, but even i have qualms with the past 2 seasons, and i should,as well as the rest of the millions of fans this show has, be able to voice those disappointments without being verbally abused by a whacko such as yourself. Have something constructive to say, or fuck off.Martonoreply@blogger.com
