They had a huge team of cops and civilians and a helicopter searching the woods but not a single search dog of course.
The acting of the next victim woman in the room was so bad.
I enjoy unhinged headmate Deb.
It's bad but in the fun Dexter way that kept me hooked on the original.

I mean yeah basically all their resources came from asking locals to help, including the guy with the helicopter.

I thought Harrison tracking Jim down via Instragram was just as bad as him putting a return address on the letter he sent Hannah. Really? He’s going to fake his death, move across the country, take on a new identity, and create a social media account?

I wish this season was as terrible as the last couple were but it’s mostly just boring AF right now. Stuff like that and how he covered up the blood tracks give me hope, though.

He didn't create the account, was just featured in his teammates picture. Or thats how I understood it

Wow, I never watched Dexter before, but decided to give it a shot. The writing is something else. It's like the writers have never met a real person in their lives. And the voiceovers...

there's only two likely culprits for the kidnappings so it's not exactly a brain buster

Right, I just found it ridiculous how they tried to act all secretive and then did a close up of his super distinctive eyes. I was hoping it would turn out to be the other guy, but nah, poo poo is gonna turn out to be real convenient for Dexter's moral code like always.

I don't have a problem at all with that though, cause maybe it means things will keep getting to that special level of bad and not just boring. I said the episode was filler, but as was pointed out it really wasn't, and in fact a lot of things happened. It's just it was so badly paced. Though I was amused by all the mentioned stuff, plus how Dexter's boss was able to randomly remember what gloves a guy was wearing days ago. Ghost Deb was great though, and I can tell from the last few ninutes Clancy Brown will end up being a highlight.

Oh, and Vincent van Goat. I liked Vincent van Goat.

Wait is it Clancy Brown that’s the kidnapper or the oil billionaire guy? I assumed it was the latter

Looked like the former to me, when they did an eye shot. I may have just assumed because that seems like the most convenient thing for Dexter. I'd be happy to be wrong though, and I'm sure that if I am something convenient about him will still come up so Dexter won't face any moral dilemmas when he has to off him.

I liked how they finally answered the question of "What does Dexter do when he talks to the ghosts" and the answer is that he stares creepily at nothing

Gonna spoiler this just in case. If it really is the former then it's another "classic" Dexter fake-out. The kidnapped woman was at the rally during the Billionaire's annual meeting, and he made that creepy insinuation about helping the local indigenous population and I believe the previous victims were indigenous. I bet Dexter gets him on the table and he confesses that it's really Clancy Brown doing it or some poo poo.

ASK ME ABOUT CROSSING THE STREAMS


How many episodes do you think until Dexter's girlfriend's daughter ends up captured in that room? Or how many until it is revealed that Clancy killed her first daughter years ago (and it was probably his very first serial kill)? I'm guessing 2.

"Audrey's birth mother abandoned her, so gently caress her. Also, you could have shared that you abandoned Harrison."

No daylight between these statements.

Harrison lied so she doesn't know Dexter left his son by choice - she probably assumed it was due to a separation or something. That statement obviously would've rattled Dexter though

Harrison only seems to be willing to protect Dexter so much here. I think under any questioning he'd totally go "Yeah my stepmom (hmm?) died and I spent a couple years on my own"

Well Audrey's birth mom (from context) dropped a baby off anonymously either with total strangers who never knew who she was, or baby on a doorstep style.

Dexter, as far as she knows, broke up with his partner and left the kid with her, but with enough knowledge that the second she was no longer an option he was able to come find and stay with his dad.

Those are light years apart.

Does calling him Mr. Crabs help?

Man, for some reason I always forget Mr. Krabs is one of his roles, but I never forget Mr. Krabs is played by him.

With that being said, I'm calling it now, Dexter will lead Clancy Brown into a trap with a trail of pennies, and when he kills him he'll say "Are you feeling it now Mr. Caldwell?"

Oh my god it just keeps getting dumber and dumber.

So we ended the last episode thinking he threw Matt's remains in the lake. No, turns out he put his body IN THE FIRE PIT ON HIS OWN loving PROPERTY. Also the person watching the camera is so obviously Clancy Brown, cause we can't have an antagonist just be someone who poses a threat to exposing Dexter. Nah, they gotta be killers too.

Jesus loving Christ this is bad. Are we sure Scott Buck isn't wearing a Clyde Philips skin suit?

Haha I'm only watching in the background while working so I missed some stuff like that. I was wondering who this kidnapped person was because I forgot, and missed the hints I guess, so I was thinking "oh it's the murdered guy, he had this victim who might now starve to death or some poo poo if dexter doesnt find out and free her or something." Welp, guess it's just some badguy for dexter to kill or if we're lucky, get killed by.

It's amazing. We're two episodes in and it's already like season 8 never ended. After all these years absolutely no lessons were learnt.

It's pretty amazing that they managed to take a decade off and the writing didn't improve a single bit. It's just... Not Good.

the "you're already dead" is such a clunky and overly deliberate evocation of trinity's "it's already over"

writing on the show isn't doomsday killers-level bad but it is a new type of eyeroll-inducing incompetence where they're trying to ape the beats of prestige tv while still having to build connective tissue between this new storyline and the one where harrison and his poisoner stepmom spent a very normal 7 years in argentina

when those kids asked harrison how his birth mother died i was really hoping for him to just casually go "oh yeah she was ritualistically murdered by a notorious serial killer who mysteriously disappeared after becoming friends with a man who matched my father's description"

it's also just a meme. If i saw that in my torture-death-room, I'd still bust up laughing. both because Id compulsively be doing my own terrible version of the clip, but also laughing that they tried to menace me with a decades old anime meme.

Just one more thing!
My prediction for the season is that the season will be flirting with whether or not Harrison is a normal kid but with some skills that one would expect from his rough life or if there's something darker about him, only for it to be revealed later in the season that he killed Hannah and when Dexter finds out ghost deb is like "lmao"

Audrey is gonna get captured by Clancy Brown and then Harrison will go save her and murder him and then Dexter will have to tearfully murder him(and also Audrey NO WITNESSES)

Season ends with him on a fishing boat in Nova Scotia or some poo poo.

Deb going bat poo poo on Dexter is very good and is all the better because of the real life failed marriage between the two.

Doakes will show up and turn out to have been the ultimate serial killer all along, both better and hiding his tracks and faking his death than Dexter ever was, not that that’s a high bar to clear.

Doakes was the Bay Harbor Motherfucker, as in he was one real motherfucker of a serial killer. He killed two people for every one person that Dexter killed. The only reason why he confronted Dexter was because killing two people a week was taking a toll on his social life.

I think the worst thing that could come out of this show is it becomes a hit and Showtime runs it into the ground again and has a lovely ending many seasons later. This will ultimately lead to a third revival series in ten years.
