You know what would be an interesting storyline? Dexter can’t find a serial killer but feels a need to kill and how it deals with that So this definitely won’t happen

I forgot about this Season 7 bad guy Isaak. I like him. He just drops into horrifying stories of Eastern Europe every couple of episodes that are a lot of fun. Season 7 also kinda course corrects a lot of things that had been going off the rails in 5 and 6. Deb DOES put it together by talking to Jaime for 30 seconds. Someone with the cops finally goes "Man it's loving weird all the barrel girl suspects disappeared, right?" It's got the crazy minotaur guy too Oh man, I think I forgot about this scene just to protect myself from remembering how cringey it is. I thought this plotline got left in Season 6 and buried. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDy-QrBDkUk PostNouveau fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Sep 10, 2021 |

Dexter will be pacing around the room yelling "What am I missing?!" and ghost Deb will walk over, point at a photo, and make a connection that Dex will have no logical way of knowing. The writers won't notice.

In that trailer they mention there's a serial killer on the loose with "no pattern" as to how they select their victims. I, for one, cannot wait to hear what Dexter notices that a bunch of forensic experts couldn't pick up on because he's just that clever

Yeah that summary misses Hurricane Dead Mom. Probably also worth mentioning that a lot of season 8 involves Dexter meeting the person who invented The Code, a psychologist who is an expert on psychopaths and is obsessed with Dexter because of all the troubled kids she’s treated (all of whom turned into serial killers), he’s the “perfect psychopath” because he has feelings sometimes. She’s being hunted by a serial killer and comes to Dexter for help, which involves him looking at a list of her former patients, and killing any who happen to live in Miami. In-universe she’s treated as the platonic ideal of a psychologist, learned and insightful, as well as a caring and nurturing therapist. Her only flaw is that she is estranged from her son who is also a serial killer.

I didn't know much about Charlotte Rampling, but I do know that she's generally too good for this show. poo poo, even MCH is. Edit: so is Quair. poo poo, I just realized that Quair likely won't be in this new season. gently caress, what's the point now?

I was sad we didn't get a SUPRISE MOTHERFUCKER in the trailer tho, cause we all know we need Ghost Doakes. I am thankfully very safe in feeling like I am not missing anything jumping in having left in the middle of S5 it seems like reading up on the Wiki.

The Koshka Brotherhood storyline wraps up with the last remaining bad guy doing the "What are you going to do, shoot me?" to Quinn before getting shot by Quinn. 2 episodes before the season ends, so I dunno what's left for the last two. I remember LaGuerta gets it in the last one, guess they're just gonna mostly spin their wheels until then.

PostNouveau posted:The Koshka Brotherhood storyline wraps up with the last remaining bad guy doing the "What are you going to do, shoot me?" to Quinn before getting shot by Quinn. Isn't this when one of the dudes who killed Dexter's mom comes into the picture? Always thought it was dumb how they brushed off a plot they already did back in season 2 AND made it so that it was just a thing to get from point a to point b. It's like they were being especially proficient in their lack of originality. I mean, I guess in fairness to the writers (one of the only times you'll hear me say that about the Dexter writing crew), it was supposed to be Stevenson's character, but still. Also, has it got to that point where Dexter thought this one dude was an arsonist serial killer just because he was an arson investigator and that's literally the only thing he had to go on? If I remember right his only other "evidence" was "He's looking at a burned body... and isn't disturbed!" even though I'm sure that's probably a regular part of that gig. It's like assuming somethings wrong with the plumber just because he isn't horrified by the smell of poo poo.

Yes, one of the guys who killed his mom gets paroled. Also Hannah tries to kill Deb for the first time. The arsonist plot happened alongside the Koshka stuff. He tracks down the real arsonist but then has a change of heart because he's realized that he doesn't NEED to kill he just wants to, so for some reason that makes him leave the arsonist gift-wrapped for the police and he kills Hannah's dad instead.

my friends and i would have watch parties every week in college during the final season. we would watch breaking bad live and then play a recording of the latest episode of dexter right after. the contrast in our collective demeanor between the first hour and the second hour of those watch parties was as stark as in that video breaking bad/dexter edit that keeps getting posted over and over. one hour of hootin' and hollerin' followed by a terrible hangover, interrupted every few minutes with "what the gently caress?" and "are you loving kidding me?"

Like Batista just owns a restaurant on the side now. Because he wants to retire to something that dominates his life less than police work. The writers of this show think owning a restaurant is an easy, low-stress gig. He's got a speech where he tells LaGuerta how simple it is to have a restaurant as his second job (because he still somehow has not retired yet so he's just doing both).

I just finished my re-watch last night, and like most of the series, aside from the funny stuff everyone talks about (hurricane mom, lumberjack) I‘d forgotten most of the details, and that ending pissed me off. They spent this whole season (the whole series really, but they hit you over the head with it in the last season) establishing that Dexter has actual feelings for his family. They’re not just a cover for him anymore. Then at the end, he completely abandons his son to live in a foreign country with another serial killer, who doesn’t have a code about who they kill! I know he trusted Hannah, but I don’t think the show had her do anything to actually earn that trust. I kind of remembered that he did that, but I guess I had filled in the blanks in my memory with an incorrect explanation as to why he did it. I had incorrectly assumed that the truth about him finally came out, so he had to go on the run. But nope, he just decides he’s too dangerous to be around, but it’s ok to leave his son with a less scrupulous killer. And on a side note, it blows my mind that they had Harrison spend half the season hanging out with Hannah, and didn’t once have him talk about her in front of the wrong person. He would constantly talk about her with Dexter, but once she was hiding out at Deb’s, he never once mentioned her name in front of anyone who wasn’t in on the secret. No way would a four-year-old actually keep quiet like that.

There is absolutely no way even a competent season 1-4 writer can salvage what was done in 5-8 so lol at what we are going to get. Now that there is no pretense of this being good I am just strapping in to enjoy the ride.

There's a better final two seasons where Deb turns him in and then uses him as a Hannibal Lecter to solve murders. This would have required a lot less Michael C. Hall though and he was executive producer at that point, sooooooooooo

George H.W. oval office posted:The trailers have always been really good which makes the seasons so bad all the more funny. Every single time the thread would get hyped. To be fair (I was always hugely hyped for new seasons), the hope was that MAYBE there'd be consequences for his actions. You know how in Breaking Bad, they jump ahead in S5 to disheveled Walt, buying the M60? Or especially when they showed the White household as a condemned building, with the HEISENBERG graffiti? That was so compelling. Consequences! Commeuppance! Intrigue! Remember the finale of The Shield? Holy poo poo, what a way for poo poo to go down. Meanwhile, Masuka mimes a sex crime, no one gives a single gently caress about Kyle Butler or Trinity, Lumen returns to her home planet, a suddenly-adult Harrison gets bloodied by a treadmill, Colin Hanks talks to a Mos Def-initely wasted Edward James Olmos, and Dexter murders a guy while two fellow cops, one of whom USED TO SUSPECT HIM OF BEING A MURDERER, watch. There will never be a  big enough.Edit: and we all know that I've skipped over so, so much. So goddamned much, but I didn't want the post to go on for a year.

PostNouveau posted:LaGuerta accuses him in front of everyone and is killed like ... that night. "And on the pedestal, which was made out of stone, probably, because stone is cold and unfeeling like me, these words appear: My name is Dexter, killer of killers; Look at my victims, each were bad, because my thing is killing killlers! But now, nothing's left, because I dropped them off in the Bay Harbour. That's who I am; the Bay Harbour Butcher. I am a colossal wreck, boundless and barely feeling. The sand stretches far away, a void like me, because I don't feel anything.” But in terms of the episode, Dexter would have ALMOST gotten caught but would've killed the nazis in the desert, dragging each of their bodies all over To'hajiilee like it was no big deal. He drives away, back to Albuquerque, with Ghost Dad giving him a thumbs up from the car wash billboard, instead of Saul. Edit: Ghost Dad: "Dex, if you ever get in trouble, call Saul Goodman. You remember the code, right?" Dexter and Ghost Dad, together: "Better Call Saul" Dexter, narrating: "He was right. I HAD better call Saul."
