Great season so far! Although it's going to be hard to top season 4

Spoiler
One thing I'm confused about to add to the discussion of Kellar and inconsistencies. The girl that was captured, then set free, mentioned there were two voices when she was blindfolded. She said one of them kept referring to the other as the professor, and he seemed to be the leader of the two. Did I miss something?
[close]

Spoiler
I don't think she actually said there were two voices, just that there seemed to be two people. I remember seeing a post on reddit clearing this point up, the writers worded it very carefully.

Edit - heres the transcript from what she said:

    One of them kept calling the other "Professor", but I didn't see either of them; I was blindfolded.

    There were two of them?

    The younger guy is the one who let me go; I sort of could tell that he was the weaker of the two. The younger guy said he kept calling me...

    Holly, you're safe. What'd he call you?

    "The Whore". They didn't touch me, except when they chained me, and the Professor, I think, would jam his knee behind my neck, and hold my head so that I couldn't close my mouth. And then he would pour this stuff into it, and the younger guy kept saying that he was sorry--so sorry for doing this to me.

    What'd they make you drink?

    It was cold, and it made me puke, and it tasted like metal. I think it was blood.

A few discrepancies.

Spoiler
Dexter made the 911 call from his own phone and no one bothered tracking it down? Not to mention he used his normal voice and all 911/999 calls are logged.

Also, wouldn't he be worried that the police would check Travis's phone, and see the video message, if they caught him or searched where he was hiding?

I pointed that out to my mate while we were watching it, it was a bit stupid. Especially considering he works for homicide lol It would of been a tiny bit believable if maybe he were calling another department. If it had any realism at all deb would of heard that & been like.......urggh, dexter? But on saying that Dexter has never been particularly believable

I really don't like the turn this series has taken.Actually after the magnificent 4th season.It's just not the same.Dexter has turned into some mix of Rambo and Flash or something lately.The bad guys are not great anymore(quite the opposite actually) and for me they could have used much better James Olmos and the whole religion thing.It feels like a rehash of what we have seen in the past and certainly not something refreshing.Finally Dexter doesn't feel like Dexter(his blood thirst,his concerns about if he is a freak of nature,if he has any kind of feelings etc).Since his wife died,there was no character development of his at all and i kinda expected that.It's a shame because this season started really well.

I find myself really enjoying the episodes while watching them but then days after going "What the fuck?" at the sheer fucking sloppiness of the show this season. It's still enjoyable no doubt and I can't wait for the next episode but it still so ridiculously annoying seeing the writer's seemingly no longer giving as much of a fuck.

Reminds me of Californication a little bit & True blood to a certain extent. All 3 great shows but I think the writers for all of them kinda found themselves lacking for ideas & it all got a bit silly. I'll continue to watch all of them but they're not what they were that's for sure.

Thanks. That makes sense

I wish I could just enjoy the show for what it is and stop analyzing it so much, but I agree that there are many little holes in the plot that go unnoticed. A few more from this season:

Spoiler
Opening scene to the season. Dexter kills two paramedics because apparently they harvest organs. So many things wrong with this. An ambulance is the only vehicle that shows up to a suspected stabbing? How did he know they would be the first to respond, and it was even them in the first place? Did the hospital just brush off that two of their paramedics went missing after reporting to a stabbing, find their ambulance and take it back to the hospital with no further questions?

Also, don't remember if this was the 1st or 2nd episode, but Dexter steals the girl's phone who just finished "orally pleasing" him to send a message to the guy he wants to kill. How did he get the phone back to her? I will go ahead and assume he deleted the text to the guy, but she was heading back to the reunion party where the guy was. What if they passed each other on his way to underneath the bleachers?

At first, I though the series finale was a bit :undecide:

Do not read unless you have seen it

Spoiler
Until the ending. So glad they didn't swerve the Deb/Dex thing though, she found out :cool:

As for the whole series, there was a few plot holes/or conveniences. Dex finding the crime scene, no one been in, and he can hammer the paintings face. The boat that finds him at the start, and he has to kill someone, seemed a bit random. The hand, unless I am missing something, how did Travis get the hand that was delivered to Dexter? Which leads me onto Louis of course. Something is building up there, for sure, but we just don't know what. I guess the whole "OMG my brother is a killer" reveal is big enough for one series finale
[close]

All in all, it was a good season. Some great moments, some slow/misplaced ones. The show is working to an end now and (again don't read unless you have seen the episode)
Spoiler
The big reveal adds a whole new dynamic to the Deb/Dexter story, and everyone else in Miami Homicide. I bet the next season is ages away, isn't it!

I don't think Deb does "love" him, I think she thinks she does. And it was a good way for her to go and find him, she knew where he would be, I kind of knew it was coming, but the tension was all there. The next season has to carry on right from that moment, and I don't want to wait like 9 months to find out! Will it be back same time next year anyone know?

I remember telling a mate way back in the season when Deb realised how important Dexter is to her (before this whole "I love him" bullshit in recent episodes) that I reckon she'll kill herself when she finds out because Dexter was the last stable safe thing in her life and now that's gone too. I dunno if she'll actually do it now though, I was thinking she'd find out at the end of next season. There's no way they're killing Deb off with 2 seasons left.

Us knowing there's 2 seasons left pretty much confirms she'll be okay with it and there will be no chase for Dexter.

I really hate how:

Spoiler
Deb finding out has been a fear for years, right back to when the file that links Dexter and Brian together was on top of a stack she was using to research her father. It's been the big plotline for a long time, even up til last year when she let him off without finding out who he was when he was killing Jordan Chase and company. And then this year it's gone "I want to fuck my brother... OH SHIT". All that potential build to a potentially huge moment and it's a fucking season ending cheap shock value cliff hanger. Such a waste.

I trust the King, but if we lose a few more on the trot now - he may have to step aside, and we have to purchase another manager in the middle of the season. If we are relegated, this could be the end of our ambitions to win any title the next 100 years.

Fuck me, how about you just fuck off? Seriously, what the absolute fuck is the point in your miserable existence? From thread to thread pissing and moaning about absolutely every fucking series others are enjoying. You're THE most feckless fucking troll on these forums by far.

We get it. You like nothing. So stop watching the fucking things and just shut the fuck up for once.

Not much wrong with what he said there. What happened to the ingenious, meticulous Dexter who lurked in the shadows, didn't let his enemies catch him off guard (instead of learning from his mistakes with Trinity, he acted 10 times more stupidly with Travis and nearly paid for it several times), and almost never gave anyone the opportunity to see his face publically in a compromising position by doing something as idiotic as drowning a man on the beach, sending a video of himself to a serial killer, skulking around in broad daylight with needle in hand, or

setting up a kill room at a recent crime scene.

The supporting cast on this show was always average at best, and now the most compelling part of the show, watching Dexter be the macabre genius that he is (was), is pretty much gone.

Well, it's par for the course. Anyone expecting the quality of any show to be consistent is misguided and really hasn't learned much of a lesson through experience of watching good TV shows. They all dip at one stage, and it's usually towards the end when you can tell the writers just rush stuff to tie it all off for a grand finale. Dexter is no different. You can sit and nitpick stuff all day, but it was still entertaining to watch. I spotted the drop in quality about 4 episodes into this season, but I still continued to watch it because at the end of the day, it's all about the overall story and not one season. If Dexter continued on being the meticulous and flawless killer he was, then how the fuck could he ever get eventually found out, which is something that just has to happen eventually.

Well, if he continued to be a meticulous and flawless killer he wouldn't be found out....If he's found out, then the entire premise of the show would end.

That is the point. It has to end. He has to make mistakes to get caught.
