Just realized that there is an episode of Dexter waiting on the table for me this morning. Miss that show, no matter how weird it got, it was a nice recovery at the end of a Sunday if the Giants pissed me off. And that was during the Coughlin days!
So hopefully after today's game it's even more horrid and disgusting than before! Who knows?
One thing I'm certain of is that the oil billionaire HAS to reappear in some way. There's no reason to have a character like that be so prominent for several episodes and then just vanish completely.
the scene with Harrison and Kurt in the cabin was great as was Dexter's trek through the snow escaping Kurt's buddy.
I didn't realize that Zach is Mark and Donnie Wahlberg's nephew.
3. Kurt "gutted" the downstairs, but (a) left the jacuzzi tub, but in cracked pieces in the corner of the luxurious bathroom, and (b) just as the chief is talking about searching every landfill (how many landfills are going to be in that area?), they show a close-up of some wall trim that's pretty distinct, so while Kurt "gutted" things, he was pretty fucking sloppy compared to other similar situations the show has featured.
4. As others have said, the chief getting immediate internet hits for whatever it is she's searching.
I wish the writers would tighten these and other things like it. The first two examples, just don't have Dexter SAY anything.
Still ... I'm choosing to set those things aside and I'm enjoying the show, overall.
I mean, Dexter DID waste someone at Miami Airport in the original show and Kurt did have a caustic remark when he said something along the lines to Harrison about how there are no cameras for the school to "protect the children" but everyone in town shits their pants over the white deer.
Kurt is builidng up be one of my favorite Dexter rivals. He's up there with Rudy and Trinity.
I guess sergeant Doakes, too. Lol.

I'm curious about the Billionaire as well. I figured he was bankrolling Kurt and maybe it was going to be a group of them killing people together.
Really? I didn't see that
She was watching some tour ( who'd ever think that people from a podcast would go on a tour) of a true crime podcast hosted by the hosts of the show and I was thinking it was going to be the small Auditorium and they pan to the audience and it's an NBA sized arena filled from top to bottom with young women lol. Not one dude in sight.
Merry fucking kill!

And did anyone notice the teacher/bartender was one of them
Really? I didn't see that
Apparently the girl who plays the bartender said on one of her social media it wasn’t her and she’s in episode 10 so 🤷♂️
I don't know how to interpret Harrison's reaction. Seemed like he maybe felt like Dexter's reasoning for killing Matt was sketchy.
I also like the parallels between Kurt and Dexter and their differences. Serial killers have a blurry line, lol.
Dexter born in blood but Kurt nurtured in it.
One of the best Dexter seasons, I hope they keep it going but keep the quality.
Anyone know the plans after the finale? Is this one and done or would they consider a season 2 (and beyond?)
I think Dexter will just easily dupe Angela into getting her to not turn him in and go along with it for finding the missing girls. Hopefully more Kurt in the finale from flashbacks.
I think the woman who is playing Angela is a pretty bad actress.
and I agree, Dexter simply explains away any doubts with the discovery that Kurt was the killer of all the area missing girls. Part of me thinks that Angela sees all the links to Dexter and the Bay Harbor Butcher and suspects him being involved in the local missing girls. I
I think he explains his whole name change, etc. by pointing out the Trinity killer, murderer of Dexter's wife) was never found (unless his remains have been identified which I don't recall ever happening).
I think the Bay Harbor Butcher angle was interesting, learning that it was Dexter and not Doakes could be for some fun cat and mouse, but I think it gets dropped with the death of the blogger. I'm also surprised they had Kurt kill her off so unceremoniously. Maybe because her death benefited Dexter too in a way.
I felt that was a perfect way for her to go out - off screen. I was never wondering where she was and didn't spend one second thinking about her unless she was on the screen talking like an idiot. I thought she had too much screen time.
Oh well. I guess now Deb is "gone" you have to have someone to fill the annoying character vacancy.
I think it was clear she was a goner when you can see Kurt watching her from some distance. He had a menacing look on his face. Then he was wearing something (robe or something) to tip you off he was in the middle of embalming Molly.

Welcome back Molly in the Deb role! :)
Conscience, not conscious. lol, he's not conscious.
Money might bring it back
Maybe it was different for other people but the way I remember it was everybody in my life got into the original show at the same time, in late 2008/early 2009. I think some people were getting into it in the middle of season 4 because people were begging me to let them into my house to watch new episodes because of Showtime. Different times.
I think the show should've been shorter (of course) but they had to capitalize on the surge in viewership. History will probably repeat itself. I'm sure Dexter is still Showtime's moneymaker.
I'm actually watching a movie right now with Angela in it on Netflix. Wind River or something. She's basically the same character here from what I've seen so far.
Always someone who has to be a hero.
Too many people liked the show and character a lot, and forget that he was never supposed to be a hero. I like that they showed the contrast of Dexter and Harrison. They both have dark sides, but Harrison seems genuinely interested in being a good person, where as Dexter never cared about that, he was a sociopath. At the end, Dexter realized that Harrison wasn't like him in that sense, and that's all he really wanted. He wanted his son to be able to feel happiness and pursue it. Dexter could never feel those things. If nothing else, I feel like it completes the character of Dexter. It might not have been the best season of Dexter, but I feel like it did good service to the character
and the main angle they have to continue (if they decide to) is with Harrison continuing and Dexter as is conscience.
The main piece I hated was the sequence with Logan in the jail - that was more cartoonish than most plot liberties IMO.
I was hoping Dexter would reunite with Angel and then ... kill him very quickly. Lol. He was always a worthless character.
Dexter not being wise enough to realize Harrison would pick up on that something happened to Coach seemed a bit ... stupid. You have blood all over yourself and you break out of jail and you call your own son from the coach's phone and Harrison won't notice?
Meh. Whatever. Wish they'd come up with some new shows so I'd have to stop relying on the old ones coming back.
Way too much was cartoonish, convenient, or massively unexplored while more mundane shit is examined in detail.
I simply don't buy the Harrison about face. Reeks too much of a 'ha, ha. y'all wanted Harrison to be just like Dexter, but he's not' plot twist.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if "Harrison" is a new series. An unguided tormented soul trying to find his way in the world, trying to figure out if his urges to maim/kill are anger or blood lust.
I'm glad I signed up for showtime to watch it just for its own value. I would rank this season near the bottom of all the seasons, though. The collateral entertainment of showtime (Yellowjackets, Your Honor, American Rust, amongst others) is a most welcome bonus.
Dexter killed lots of innocent people, primarily when it came to saving his own skin.
He killed a random guy in some kind of boat gas station right after Rita died.
He's killed quite a few people that were not confirmed murderers with confirmed being the important word, but some who were just rapists or drug dealers.
Then .... Just left him there.
