Yea but dexter wasnt thinking in terms of “in case he gets away i shouldnt do this” he was thinking i got this psycho nerdy fucktard, and actually verbalized it twice that he was trying to lead Hanks Jr. to the slice of life. If it went according to plan he’d’ve killed Hanks Jr took the phone and itd be clean kill.
Anyway, agreed on the ending of this season is done in order to cement viewership of at least next season even for the fans who were turned off by the quick writing…
But since everyone’s in a fuck the writers moment, how about the fact that masuka is the lead forensics lab geek and he didnt go in first, or, how the hell did Hanks Jr. know where Harrison’s school was, and how that damn cop on the roof didnt radio for weird little kid in a lion suit on the roof. Oh and wtf happened to Harry in all of this biggest of all though is they didnt use fucking Jaime Escalante to his full potential imo… there’s a lot of shit if you look hard enough. But im sure we look hard enough we’ll find em in every episode in all seasons.
Oh if u used the sharp side of the hammer to pick at the tableau instead of hammer away im sure it’d make less noise and it wasnt a huge piece he hammered out just chunks. Again, look hard enough and you’ll find an explanation too. It becomes shit writing when nothing can explain it without stretching to some farfetched bs.
Up side for this season though:
Before bautista/quinn gaymance drama was cool seeing them smoke a joint
Still the season had quoteables: “bukkake bukkakay”, “i’ll throw you a couple (paraphrase) to keep your dick wet”, “i am a father a son and a serial killer”, “oh god”, “hello whore”,
any form of deb cursing at the wrong time and entertaining talking to Hanks Jr. about god’s plan is being on dex’s kill table and balancing light and dark.
Dialogue for dex when its on par, is usually another part of the show that deserves big credit. So here’s hoping the writers carefully execute these next 2 seasons… shit take it one at a time, if they have to. This season was on the low end of quality, no doubt but they set themselves up well, gotta give credit where credits due. i like laguerta’s whorish bitchy cutthroat character as opposed to love story with her and bautista,
“the moments” were still there, just the follow up sucked. Rudy after Dex choked brother sams murderer, four horseman was a dope scene, blood bath was tight, ice truck killer hand, and quinn finding out he boned that strippers mom.
The style and humor is still there, with extra effort the writing can come back too, it’s the all of those things that kept dexter a tight show.
Biggest hope for next season is i hope she forces deb to do some lesbo acts in order to keep dex innocent and free. keep on owning them for free laguerta and bring back latina cop grab the psychiatrist and have a party at debs new place. more masuka lines pls, dont fuck up louis as the next big bad make him crazy smart and careful, it’d be nice to see a doakes ghost lundy ghost since bay harbor butcher’ll be back in play shit an arthur ghost would be crazy. then give dex a proton pack and hunt them down again. whatever it is 10 months is a long time they’d better use it and not just over the summer writing bullshit.
and getting off on deb’s vulnerability, nah that’s ur dark passenger getting off on deb’s bro/sis love with dex. lol just playin
but you bring up a decent subject. What do you guys think (for real) would make this show awesome again? The last minutes of this season give me hope, but I realize that we’ll be dealing with the fallout here for two seasons. How the hell can you stretch that over two seasons?
