We watched disc one of Season one last night!

and are about to start disc two!

we are hooked!

I went online and read the spoilers... to see whose theory is correct about the "ice truck killer"
Technically we are both a little bit correct...but dude.. hes mad that I read the spoilers :liz:

I think the journey to the end is just as important as the end.. but he just thinks that the show is now not worth my watching... :lol:

All my posts are done from my tablet. I apologize for all strange errors in my posts... as swype hates me. :violet:

My husband started having nightmares about "Dexter" the beginning of the third season and now he refuses to watch it. I may go ahead and buy the third season whenever it comes out and watch it whenever he's not home. I'm dying to know what happened after the first couple of episodes.

In real life, I do know that the guy that plays "Dexter" married the actress that is currently portraying his sister on the show.

Ok, so after not having watched an episode of Dexter for almost 2 and a half years, because seasons 5 & 6 were such monumental disappointments to me, I finally sat down this past weekend & watched seasons 7 & 8.

I now feel they deserved to lose me as a viewer. With the exception of the shock value of the season 7 finale, they really jumped the shark in the final two seasons. The Hanna arc is a disappointment, but I had gotten use to disappointments. Then, with the introduction of Harry's psychoanalyst, Vogle, the show tripped into absurdity. At some point, I started referring to them all as the "Blood Bath Brady Bunch". You had Dexter, newly murderous Deb, Dex's murderous girlfriend, Dex's protégé, Dex's maternal figure, her stalker, & her son. I mean c'mon. The vast majority of the show were all people who were psychopaths & knew Dex's secret. It's absurd. They might as well have brought Lumen back.

Anyway, what sucks is that the overall arc for Dexter has become shit. His arc is that he was a psychopath who was alone amongst all these people who he could not connect with, decided that instead of pretending to have a connection with them, he actually wanted a connection with them, which results in ongoing disaster, & the end result is that he just goes off to be the way he was at the beginning, alone and disconnected. If he had just done that when he first learned who he was from his brother, he could have saved everyone else he knew from hardship & doom. He wouldn't have a son being raised by an estranged lover & fugitive from justice, his sister wouldn't be dead, or Laguerta & Doakes. Basically, he spent 8 years figuring out what pretty much every serial killer knows by nature. Don't stick around long enough to form connections. So Dexter's story is he's an idiot. So lame

Plus the added lack of logic in the finale, when after Vogle's son guns down Deb & is in custody, Dex just wanders in to do a mouth swab without so much as anyone in the whole department noticing or being around the shooter, let alone taking note of the guy who's sister just got shot & keeping him away from the shooter

Well anyway, He gets into the room with the killer, and tells the guy "I'm going to kill you with this pen". So what does this guy who's been outthinking Dexter this whole time do? He lunges for the pen & attacks Dexter, giving him the free ticket to act in self defense. Why the hell would a smart person do that? The smarter way to play the scene would be for Dexter to offer the killer a choice "I'm going to swab your mouth with an undetectably poisoned Q-tip, that will cause a heart attack, which is a tip I picked up from my girlfriend, or I'll stab you with this pen. Choose" THEN have the killer grab for the pen. Give him some logical motivation for god sake.

Alright, I'm done griping. It's an end, I guess
