Quoting my one correct bit of speculation and ignoring all the times I was wrongPostNouveau posted:I see some speculation that he's going to train Harrison to kill, but I think it's more likely Harrison is a potential victim. He's not a woman, so he doesn't fit the pattern perfectly, but he's treating Harrison exactly like the others.

Rewatching season 4 right now and the only thing I can say is that Detective Lundy is a classy motherfucker who deserves so much more, and I'm pissed to already know that he gets iced.

roomtone posted:dexter this season has hit a balance between being bad enough to be unintentional comedy, while also being entertaining enough that i'm excited every sunday to watch it. It is, all said and done, quality television seemingly being goofy on purpose. It's hard to say if this is a fluke or not (the same showrunner did do Season 3 after all) but I think the finale will give us the answer to that.

Oh yeah I almost forgot to laugh at an hour elapsing between Dexter coking out the drug cook and the cops finding him, despite that scene being nothing but smash cuts kicked off by Dexter hearing sirens roll up. It was already a classic scene but they retroactively made it twice as Dexter.

I also like how earlier in the episode Dexter was able to shift into punch mode because the cops made a siren noise just briefly as they approached despite the fact that they were not there on urgent emergency business, it was just the "watch out Dexter" signal. This season has been entertaining and it's also fun to laugh at things like that.

So geriatric Kurt's stealthy plan to kill Dexter was to roll up to Dexter's cabin in his gasoline truck, thoroughly hose the cabin down with gasoline, then use the fire pit that was either already burning or start it up himself in order to light a stick on fire that he would use to light the gasoline trail that led to the cabin before clambering up onto his gasoline truck where he'd wait with a laser-scope rifle to pick them off as they came out the front of the cabin and certainly not any other exit. I love this dumb show.

Among all the stupidity, my favourite thing was Dexter giving his GF a shithouse Christmas gift, not realising it wasn't appreciated, and patting himself on the back for another successful Christmas. I like it when the show remembers that Dexter is just putting on an act and often doesn't get normal human interactions. Also, did anyone think that Dexters gift to Harrison was gonna play into the episode? It totally felt like Harrison was gonna end up shooting Kurt, with Dexter watching on approvingly.

probably the best episode of the season. i was smiling like half the time. the first ten minutes had a lot of fun energy that hasn't been in this season, or really any season, of dexter. dexter was practically giddy all episode. nice nostalgic touch to add the old OST during the flashbacks, too. kind of interesting that the clown looked exactly like joaqin's joker - it worked cos you can just superimpose that character over the top of this one without any screentime and get all the benefits. if there's a good finale in this, it's the best season of the show. i might have to rewatch season 1 and 2 at some point, but there was probably a lot of time wasting even in those seasons that this season just hasn't had. there have been some wheel spinning episodes like last week but it's all been relevant.

TheWeedNumber posted:I missed this implication. Now I gotta go rewatch. Yeah I must have missed this too, what's this about? I'm honestly surprised that Dexter told Harrison everything. The way Ghost Deb was nagging him and how long it dragged on before he actually copped to killing people made me think he was going to get cold feet and cook up some other explanation. It would draw things out and it would be fitting with the show's pattern of Extremely Implausible Lucky Things happening to keep Dexter in the game. His son being in on it really complicates things, it'll take a front seat to literally every plot point now, and as Deb said, "there's no going back." Also, I missed something else - are we supposed to know who gave Dexter's girlfriend the note saying he killed Matt? Was it Kurt? Is there only one episode left in this season?

y'know i think they can pretty easily write a way out of all this for dexter basically, they find kurt's room full of bodies. obviously dexter didn't do all of those, and in fact did none of them. there's no proof linking dexter to matt other than kurt's note and titanium screws, which can easily be explained away by dexter's defense, if it got that far, as kurt's scheme to place the blame for his killings on dexter, after having researched him and discovering with ease that he is dexter morgan victim of the trinity killer who fled miami and had a connection to the bay harbour butcher case. kurt felt the law closing in on him after he killed his own son (you don't even need this part really) and was looking for an escape route. the BHB stuff is speculation by angela, all of the kurt stuff is explainable as kurt's own crimes. you can get a season out of dexter being under investigation as the BHB which is being newly investigated by angela and batista who get absolutely nowhere! i mean for once that almost seems more credible than dexter being imprisoned for any of this right now. his life is a house of card, but the actual evidence against him is so thin. a drug dealer says he put a needle in his neck? maybe dexter gets arrested but he'd probably get away with it. depends on what harrison does next week. they left it ambiguous as to whether he's disgusted or fine, he displayed both reactions. roomtone fucked around with this message at 11:04 on Jan 2, 2022 |

Senor Tron posted:Second. For the last year, I've spent every working day trying to figure out where a former Miami Metro Homicide Detective was was for two days in 2003-- or if you want to get technical about it, and apparently I do, where a black ops soldier was for a window of about an hour and a half when wiggles the clown went missing in 2003. This search sometimes feels undignified on my part. I've had to ask about his sex life (the soldier, not wiggles), where, how often, with whom, about a failed drug test, and about a possible illegal mission in Cambodia. I even had to look into something called "Autoerotic Mummifcation". It is exactly what it sounds like, by the way. And I'm not a detective or a private investigator. I've not even a crime reporter. But, yes, every day this year, I've tried to figure out the alibi of a man who by definition, did not want people to know where he was or what he was doing. Before I get into why I've been doing this, I just want to point out something I'd never really thought about before I started working on this story. And that is, it's really hard to account for your time, in a detailed way, I mean. How'd you get to work last Wednesday, for instance? Drive? Walk? Bike? Was it raining? Are you sure? Did you go to any stores that day? If so, what did you buy? Who did you talk to? The entire day, name every person you talked to. It's hard. Now imagine you have to account for a day that happened six years back, at a time where you may or may not have been working deniable ops for the Army Rangers. Because that's the situation in the story I'm working on in which I have to piece together the very sporadic history of a man who did not want to be found. And it was 2003, so we had to do it without the benefit of texts or Facebook or Instagram. Just for a lark, I asked my producers to try it...

I think Dexter's finally going down though probably still alive at end of season, with Harrison taking up the mantle if they ever do another season. They'll probably find the screw that Dexter was given in the wreckage. Granted that is still imperfect evidence since Kurt could well have planted it there but we'll sure see. This episode was so uncomfortable in a good way. That Christmas scene in particular.

Kurt murdered Angela's childhood best friend and walked on it. Then in the hours he was released, he murdered the podcast lady. The only thing that stopped him from killing again was Dexter. My prediction, she confronts him, he eventually fesses up and either accepts it and tries to channel it or, more likely, thinks she can change him/is convinced it is a one time relapse.

roomtone posted:y'know i think they can pretty easily write a way out of all this for dexter This is a show where the first Google hit for "ketamine miami metro" is a series of confidential and visceral pictures of the Bay Harbor Butcher Morgue, with enough detail to zoom in and identify the sites where the victims were not injected with ketamine. You're making the classical mistake of assuming that Dexter will get out of trouble in a way that makes sense. If Dexter gets away it's because Angela notices a set of jingling keys and devotes the next week of her life to untangling that, or she finds out he killed Kurt and lets him off with a warning, or she winds up getting herself shot dead through a comedy of errors, or maybe he and Harrison both fake their deaths and hey case closed. Pretty much every single jam Dexter has been in could have been settled by a perfectly reasonable half-truth, and it never plays out that way.

Honestly, the easiest way for Dexter to wriggle out of things is to say that, yes, he was going to kill the guy who supplied the drugs that almost killed his son. He worked on the Bay Harbor Butcher case and he used that as "inspiration" for how to successfully kill someone. But, being a lovable goof who has never done anything like this before, he messed it up, panicked and just started wailing on the guy instead. Of course, that still leaves the guy who manufactured the stuff, and had the needle mark in his neck, but hey, junkies amiright? EDIT: Dexter should have left the trapdoor open to the Hall of Horrors. Suddenly finding a load of corpses would guarantee Angela would be distracted for a very long time and, even if she still suspected Dexter, might even sympathise with him given how focused* she was on all those missing girls. * but never enough to actually get off her rear end and do anything about it.

So I guess we are just gonna ignore how ghost Deb and someone in s7 both said that what Harry did was child abuse? Back to the framing of Dexter as a hero, at least to Harrison. lol Dexter continuing to lie about not murdering his victims is going to blow up in his face spectacularly. Or not. That's Peak Dexter! lmao Angela you suck at your job. Here's a book on how to cop 101. I did enjoy that someone on the writing staff remembered that Jim is just a cover and Dexter really is that awkward thinking that his gift was a homerun.  Molly Park and gj to whoever called it earlier.Caros posted:I'd Like to See Ol Dexter Morgan Wriggle His Way Out of THIS Jam! 100% this. Even Harrison getting freaked out a few times in Kurt's kill bunker didn't amount to anything. He didn't try to stop Dexter or turn on him after he started getting ptsd flashbacks to Rita's death. Some very good writing and some very bad writing this episode. PEAK DEXTER BABY!
