Dexter - Part 3

[Liam_H]

I would have been a lot better for me if they made Hannah just a friend to Dexter. Keep almost everything else about her. Let her be someone that can give Dexter advice or comfort without crossing that line but not be in the main plot like when she was kidnapped. Similar to Mos Def's character.

If she survives the end of the season move forward from there.

with 2 episodes left... where do we see this series going and what about season 8?

I am HOPING Hannah doesn't live. but i am torn on LaGuerta... one side of me says she has to die this season... but the other doesn't want her to... unless the next 2 episodes are just mindblowingly awesome... LaGuerta dying and the BHB story ending feels weak as hell.

I just don't know how they continue to keep her around for season 8 and devoting that whole season to BHB stuff... because th BHB stuff certainly cant be a mid season story that ends middle of season 8.

i certainly dont want or think there will be a trial...

I'd love for a Dr. Danco, but given that this BHB stuff is hitting full throttle judging from previews... i dont see how it could happen.

14 episodes left in the entire series, and its going to be quite a freaking test for the writers.

 

[Visceral]

I feel as if hadn't had to watch dexter go through all his other love interests and see them turn out horrible I might give hanna more of a chance. Instead after only six episodes i am supposed have this connection with hanna, not gonna happen

 

[Reek]

i have a feeling Dexter is going to kill hannah... then find out that

Spoiler

hannah didn't kill Deb, Deb got in the car wreck because of her own medication

 

[Liam_H]

Very nice theory I mean they certainly highlighted that she was taking alprazolam(?) in the last episode.

 

[Ghostvirus]

Much like George was written to kill Isaak to avoid the dilemma of whether Dexter would keep his word & not kill him. I am not sure that Dexter would have.

Dexter has let go of his dark passenger at a very convenient time. Now he can freely kill Laguerta, & Matthews with out guilt.
I do wonder where Angel is going to fit in to all this.

 

[Liam_H]

Is it the Dark Passenger or the code? Because I thought the former meant he just had to kill while the latter was just what his father passed on so only the criminals get it.

Cause saying that the Dark Passenger is gone means he doesn't have to kill at all so anyone from this point on makes Dexter as guilty as his victims.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I was worried that, after Isaak's death, this would be the episode where the season lost all momentum. And I've read some reviews and responses that indicate that. But watching it myself, I actually really enjoyed this episode.

I've been feeling like this Hannah McKay story was an adequate but unremarkable B-story that was just chugging along in the background to give characters something to do in between the more important stuff. But this episode was the most convincing the Dexter/Hannah relationship has been for me, thanks largely to the consistently brilliant Jim Beaver showing up as Hannah's father. There was some great character work in general going on in this episode. And LaGuerta's investigation, long bubbling in the background, is now taking on an increased urgency, and it's kinda thrilling seeing the jigsaw pieces snap together, and Dexter's house of cards start to come tumbling down.

While the Isaak story might have ended prematurely, it seems like we're setting the stage for a finale that brings things full circle to the Deb/Dexter relationship and the moral questions of Dexter being unmasked as a killer that were at the fore in the season opener. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that season-opening red herring of Dexter on the run ends up being how the season ends, only this time it's for real.

 

[Crockett]

I like that the noose is tightening around Dex's neck with the Laguerta/BHB but I just feel between that and the Dex/Hannah (especially since I've a feeling she's not long for this world) is not strong enough to support itself this last few episode but hopefully I'm wrong. Right now I'm wondering if Matthews is willing to silence LaGuerta to cover this whole thing, he could be protecting Dex for all we know, it's either that or he wants to take credit for the reopening of the BHB case, we'll see, if Dex decide to take out LaGuerta it'd feel right if Deb continues the case, especially if she sees the path Dex's on right now does indeed becomes permanent, and I can't take anymore of the Quinn/Nadia/Foxhole subplot so please let this be the end of it.

 

[Project862006]

anyone think deb's reason for her obsession with Hannah is a bit ridiculous it really is just because she killed her booty call lol she knew that writer for like a couple weeks

like as if hannah killed her husband or some crap lol

 

[aNarcHy2day]

It is a very complicated story this season but I for one do feel they are needlessly stretching it out a bit. What was the purpose of a two episode arc for that Phantom guy? Just to get Dexter rid of his Dark Passenger? And I thought the Koshka's arc should have stayed on till the finale... the way it ended left me a little underwhelmed.

Of course, looking forward to the LaGuerta angle.

If he does go full-on dark dexter, he will lose his life in the finale!

 

[DyeLorean]

I'm as confused as Dexter, regarding the dark passenger, and the code, and whatever.
But I feel the same as many of you, this last couple of episodes worked as set up. Hopefully in the last 2 episodes things will start moving with LaGuerta's plot.
Still a great season though, I can't complain.

 

[Reek]

the Dark Passenger stuff has been fairly stupid considering Harry has been saying for 6 seasons that the 'Darkness' got into dexter too early... then hes like 'no brah, that was you, i just told you that your ****ing crazy.'

i can't stand how Isaak and George go fairly randomly and just wasted. Why take out the 2 main 'bad guys' in episodes 9 and 10. then bring in 2 random villains (Arsonist and Hannahs dad), that die quickly without much of a point. The one thing her dad accomplished was leaving Deb a voice mail.. which was so random and stupid it looks like they wanted to cut it out by how weird it was at the end lol.

and now its like all the focus is LaGuerta and Matthews. Which, I don't know how they can continue that through next season because LaGuerta has it all figured out now. What else is there to do?

The Phantom didn't rid Dex of hsi Dark Passenger, but it did make him rethink his kills. He kept his promise no to take cases from the police. It's a progression.

 

[Liam_H]

Kind of silly how they handled whether his Dark Passenger is real or not so quickly in one episode but he still killed in the episode.

 

[squeekness]

I think it is real and Dex is just kidding himself that it isn't. It has to be more than just a "feeling" for him to have had it for so long.

 

[aNarcHy2day]

He did progress from 'need to kill' to 'want to kill'!
Because Hannah's father didn't really fit the code!

 

[Liam_H]

So isn't that just ignoring the code or the Dark Passenger? Because like I said above the former is about doing it to the people who deserve it while the latter is needing to kill.

 

[aNarcHy2day]

Yeah... as I said... I think he has lost his Dark Passanger... at least, it appears that way.

 

[Liam_H]

Umm...okay.

 

[Reek]

the Dark Passenger has always been just his need and desire to kill. I don't know why in the world they are trying to change it up... they even added a corny ass scene with Harry about it...who might I add, is about as relevant as Harrison now days...

 

[Reek]

if he lost his dark passenger why would he kill Hannahs dad lol... all that has changed is Dexter doesn't buy into the code anymore... which has happened about 30 times already.

 

[Liam_H]

Thank You, I knew they were distinctly different. So when he told Hannah he was right I got a chuckle out of it.

 

[Reek]

its so funny.. one episode he is questioning the code or just doesnt care... then the next hes like 'i need to know if he fits my code'

 

[DyeLorean]

I think Dexter killing Hannah's father was a mistake (for the character, not for the show).
