SpacePenguin Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 I cracked up when Dexter tranquilized Deb, and Vogel commented, "That was interesting." Line of the season thus far....lmao. I really like her character more than I thought I would. ..also Deb is getting extremely tiresome, even more so than she always has been. I kind of wish Dex would put her down already.

No Excuses Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 This is the worst Dexter season so far. Seven episodes in and it's a messy jumbled storyline with no real threat and sense of urgency. Just total crap so far. The first episode was really good and everything since has been awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going out on a low note so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacePenguin Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Meh, I still think it's better than the Professor Geller season, but I'll admit it's pretty directionless by Dexter standards. However,compared to anything else on TV outside of Breaking Bad it's alright. Low bar these days..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 This is the final season but so far it is incredibly boring. Only 5 episodes left now and I'm at the point I just want it to end. Contrast that with Breaking Bad which I don't want to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Two episodes left. This show is garbage. Would have never thought that the writers would take the badass, ruthless character from the first few seasons and turn him into a soft and weak mouth breathing idiot.  Sad that this show started with great characters like Brian, Doakes, Laila, Miguel, Lundy, Trinity and ended up with crap like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how the managed to screw this one up so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 There was nothing enjoyable about this season. Majority of the storylines this season were completely pointless. They could have written this show by using Saxon as what Dexter would have been without Vogel, Harry and the Code. But instead we get to see Masuka's daughter, Jamie and Quinn, Coke Deb and Elway plus Hannah McKay. Of course Dexter didn't give a **** about Hannah but all of a sudden she's back and now he's so in love with her that he's searching Argentina on google images. This show sucks. Didn't they lose their writer(s) after season 4 and bring in a new crew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ending would you like to see? There's only so many ways to end it, such as Dexter goes to prison, Dexter flees the country, Dexter dies, etc.......I'm not sure how it's going to end, but I think it would be lame and predictable if they kill off Dexter. Right now you have Dexter trying to move out of the country, while a federal marshal is hunting them down and he's in a race against time hunting down Vogel's son. I think that is creating some interesting challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with everything you said.  Dexter has pretty much always cared about Hannah. Are you sure you've watched all the episodes? It's pretty obvious that Dexter was in love with her. Masuka's character is for comic relief. Introducing a daughter for him helps show some growth to his character. Masuka doesn't take up a lot of time.  He's just sprinkled in there to lighten the mood.  I see a lot of criticism but no suggestions. Do you suggest that Masuka, Jamie, Quinn, Deb, and Hannah not even be in the show? Does Dexter show up to work at an empty police station?  Bringing in a new writer doesn't always mean a show turns for the worst.  Hell on Wheels season 3 has been real good with a new writer this season.

No Excuses Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 The guy turned her into the police and didn't give two ****s about her while doing it. And now he's ready to move to Argentina like a week after she pops up again? The writers for this show have always stretched things but please.  I don't suggest that other characters be removed from the show. But please tell me of another Dexter season that had this many pointless story lines. Even the worst one before this (S6) was written better.

With two episodes to go, the only one somewhat on his trail is a newly introduced character. I wanted something different than Dexter spending the overwhelming majority of the season doing what he's always done. I'm sure some of the main characters will finally find out who Dexter really is, but I thought it deserved more time than what's remaining.  I'm still not sure how I want Dexter's ultimate fate to play out, I just don't like the route they're taking to get there.

What? He turned Hannah in because she tried to kill his sister. It was obvious he still had feelings for her when he went to visit her in prison. He turned her in because he felt like he had no choice. It wasn't because he didn't give a crap about her. Are you sure you've watched all the episodes?  It's not out of the norm for an ex to come back into someone's life months later and a relationship is rekindled. It's happened to me before. It's happened to a lot of people. People sometimes do get back with their ex.

Runs with Scissors Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 What doesn't make sense to me is why doesn't Hannah wear a disguise?Cut/dye her hair,wear sunglasses,wear a hat etc.I'm sure it's because the shows producers,want her to look as hot as possible.Nevermind what would happen in real life.  The writing of the show seems to think all it's viewers are slow.Harrison falling on the trend mill was setup like Disney movie,you could see it coming a mile away and everything that was going to happen afterwards.

I still watch it but I can't get into it like I used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 People need to stop comparing this season to season 4. Season 4 was by far one of the most shocking endings in TV Show history, theres not much more a crew can do to top that.  I have been enjoying this season so far, except for many filler episodes, but the direction of the show is entertaining.

I had a feeling Deb was going to die, but i didnt see the whole turning off the machine in the hospital coming so that was nice. Not gonna lie tho, I am going to miss this show lol  As far as the original show writer's thought, I think that would have been an epic ending to the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
