that car crash was the most ridiculous thing i've seen on television in years lol i also love the mental image of this busted up pickup sitting there idling against a pole on the side of the road for several hours? as Dexter hikes miles back to it in the dark. not many people out on the road these days it seems!

My only problem with the crash was that the truck guy still had a face on. What with Dexter garroting it while they were crashing.

People are criticizing the "ketamine miami homicide" thing but I don't think it is all that unrealistic. People in general are loving stupid. If there were news reports of the BHB using etorphine, at some point someone is going to tell someone else "I heard the bay harbor butcher used some sort of drug, uh, ketamine I think" because they've heard of ketamine and couldn't remember the other one. Then enough people are going to be searching ketamine with BHB search terms that google eventually just gives you Bay Harbor Butcher if you search any combination of "ketamine", "miami", and some variaton of "murder".

They missed an opportunity not having Kurt and an accomplice try to kidnap Harrison from his home, only to find it had been rigged with a number of dangerous traps.

Also maybe I missed something when Dexter jumped the goon in the summer camp, but I feel like the sequence of events was: 1) goon sees movement and fires a shot 2) false alarm, what he saw was his reflection in a mirror 3) false false alarm, the mirror was actually hiding Dexter behind it What exactly did the goon shot at? ‘Cause it sure wasn’t the mirror, and behind a mirror seems like the worst hiding place if you’re trying to trick a dude who shoots at anything that moves.

Dexter was occasionally removing his tourniquet to shoot some blood on the ground because that's how human bodies work. This episode was top-tier good Dexter and top-tier bad Dexter at the same time. Especially the old PI trick of yeeting yourself through a windshield and also showing Kurt hobbling away in a straight line for several seconds and them having them go "bwuhhh? He's gone!"

Eh. Doesn't seem a smart idea to go after a man who's a full head taller than you when you've got a stab wound handicap, you're exhausted from running all day, and you haven't necessarily secured the loyalty of your ally (who's not really in a fit state to fight either, tbh). Plus dark, snow, enemy turf advantage...

Didn't Caldwell drop his gun? "Hey Harrison get his gun and cover me. I'm gonna go run him over."

Top tier Dexter is also having the billionaire fakeout as the central villain for the season. Unless he miraculously makes a comeback in the final 2 episodes.

Ep was good gently caress all of you. Nice how they showed the gun being run over in the initial flash forward which made me think that would happen at the crash scene. Absolute lmfao at the Commando moment where the blazer was immaculate driving away at the end after having sowzed into that pole earlier on My thought is Phillips or what's his name has reflected on the greatness of the Sopranos and is giving us this payoff before "ripping it all away" aka killing Dexter or Harrison or both or sending him to jail. I think there's a very low chance they escape from all this. Miami Metro shows up to bust them in the final scene after Dexter and Harrison have killed the whole iron lake police force?

they've only showed one shot of him, hasn't been repeatedly as far as i remember. i heard something like he was in 4 episodes, but that can't be true anymore unless you count the picture of him harrison saw on molly's blog back in ep 4 or whenever. maybe that was totally false but i've been expecting a head appearance in either dexter or harrison. maybe next week during dexter's story. i just realised molly wasn't in this episode.

Hi I loved the original show thread and I guess I'm back for more now. Angela is connecting all these really spurious dots about Dexter all of a sudden, but needed Angel to tell her that sometimes there are patterns in crimes. The show is really taking a turn toward being too serious now. I enjoyed the boss talking about his dog Garfield and Dexter being annoyed by the bratty son he killed a lot more than watching Dexter get chased by a hillybilly for ten minutes. I hope it goes back to being campy. Whoever said they wanted to watch Clancy Brown psychologically torment Harrison and Dexter had it right - imagine if he told Harrison about Dexter's kills! So weird for him to do the hunting thing on him instead. I bet he's got a crazy taxidermy room full of his kills, mounted like trophies. Then Dexter can see it and make a quip about how killers like trophies.

Based on the extremely wide shot of him jogging into what is essentially an empty field and what it zooms in on after he is offscreen for 4 seconds, Kurt is canonically either camo-invisible like Metal Gear Solid, hiding behind the one tree, or in what appears to be a barrel.

So weird for him to do the hunting thing on him instead. there's a whole other route here that would've made for an exciting cliffhanger. kurt spills in the beans in the cabin, harrison doesn't believe him. then dexter shows up and attacks kurt, and is about to kill him when harrison gets a flash of trinity intermingled with dexter. he's wondering if dexter actually killed rita, and then he jumps on him to stop him from killing kurt. kurt's laughing his rear end off as harrison freaks out, saying dexter's a killer and runs away. dexter follows harrison into the night leading into a situation where angela and harrison are racing to find harrison for different reasons. you could even do a whole thing where dexter ends up being wanted for murders he didn't actually do. harrison thinks he killed rita, kurt has meanwhile fabricated evidence linking him to the runaway killings. revealing kurt to be this master manipulator would do a lot to improve him as a villain because as is he's just kind of a big dumb dickhead. i'm not sure if i would prefer this, because the prospect of next week's father/son team up looks like fun, but it would've improved this episode which was mostly just a long interruption of dexter and harrison's conversation from episode 7 which will now resume in episode 9. roomtone fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Dec 27, 2021 |

NowonSA posted:I think you can just leave it at "the Bay Harbor victims had evidence of small puncture wounds on their necks...  ing so hard over here.I liked the episode. It was perfect Dexter: You laugh at all the really stupid contrivances and enjoy all the not-stupid contrivances. Only two parts really fell through for me, as well as Dexter fell through that back window. One, the way Kurt reacted to the first time Harrison lets himself get hit. I know he set it all up to happen that way to sorta test him (or something?) but the way he just says nothing and just keeps hitting him is like the stupidest but also goofiest way to "have a connection" with this mental case. Second, the fact Angela didn't circle the word "Ketamine" at least twice with a black pen. I was soooooooooo hoping they'd provide that wink to the audience. Oh well! Here's a fun gif. Once you snip a couple of the shots added to make it not so hilarious, it is hilarious. https://i.imgur.com/HjJA2qt.mp4 Oh yeah, one last thing. Sorry "Good Harrison" folks but it looks like ya lost! But if you somehow end up winning and Harrison reacts to Dexter's stories completely horrified and being like "I'm hosed up but not THAT hosed up!" that'll be wonderful too. It's really a win/win situation at this point. DaveKap fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Dec 27, 2021 |

Typing any other drug would probably have given the same, too. But I agree with the other goon who pointed out it would have made a lot more sense to use "puncture wounds in the neck" as the modifying term.

So Kurt has spent 20 years quietly killing people and no one has ever suspected anything. This episode he tries to murder a child, and probably his father, while his employee watches. No matter how loyal the cut-rate Joker is, that's some poor decision making.
