Dexter

[Number 6]

They're obviously playing on the idea of Dexter and Travis both having this drive to kill, one driven by secular dedication and another by religious dedication. To make them both guided by an imagined dead father figure seems to be a possibility to me. But, I don't know, it seems a tad too obvious, but it could be that they're not really going for subtlety.

Either way, this has been a great season so far. I didn't dislike the last one like some do, but it felt weak. Trinity was a great one, but the supporting stuff felt kind of weak. It seems this time around the stuff with Doomsday, and the supporting stuff is rounding out well. I think this has potential to be one of the better seasons.

i think gellar is real. i mean he did answer a cell phone.

 

[Reek]

unless we are supposed to believe travis imagined gellar in the church answering a phone miles away.....which is very dumb IMO.

 

[Call Me Darkman]

In addition to the cellphone scene, there's that new character, his ex lover, who has a bunch of his stuff. They're making it seem like Travis isn't the only one working with Geller.

 

[Reek]

he also had a coffee cup at the bar scene

 

[The Demon's Head]

I used to think that Gellar was Travis' "Harry", but now I'm starting to think he's real.

 

[Kaleb]

Didnt they mention ''two different sets of fingerprints'' in the previous episode? I thought that sort of confirmed that Gellar was real.

 

[antsman41]

He's real for me now...

 

[Trainwreck2100]

I like marijauna using womanizing Quinn alot more than what we were given last season

 

[Pink Ranger]

I like marijauna using womanizing Quinn alot more than what we were given last season

We should just call him "Crockett" now, and Angel "Tubbs."

 

[Golgo-13]

I like that fact that we haven' seen much of Laguerta this last ep or so. Angel by himself is cool. Angel and Quinn together, are cooler.

The professor Quinn banged last night was Lorena from True Blood.

Didn't Travis get a clear look at dexter in his rear view mirror in tat one scene? And I find it a bit convenient that Travis just happened to be in the vid that Dexter was forced to watch.

 

[Golgo-13]

I liked this episode, did not like how it all went down with Dexter and Travis, I thought that was awful writing but oh well. Gellar is definitely real, if he was fake they would have done a better job concealing it.

He had to push down Travis's leg. Travis put the body in the trunk, and not him. Gellar was in a highly populated Miami area with his face on the front page, and probably every tv news station in the country and nobody notices, plus nobody has seen this guy in years.......he's obviously dead.

Ditto on the Dexter/Travis scene.

 

[DIRECTOR]

I thought after lasts night episode, its even more clear that Gellar isn't real. Travis' leg went down on the throttle because Gellar just happened to put his hands on his leg? Travis is the one who put the body in the trunk? Come on, he isn't real.....

so i guess imaginary people answers phone calls?

it's God intervening

Could be pulling a Tyler Durden on us.

yea I believe this is whats going on.

 

[Travesty]

Yes they do, if you imagine it. Is that your only reason why you think he's real, because he answered the phone to Travis? If he answered the phone and it was Dexter or someone on homicide, I would change my mind, but right now, I'm still on the side of him being imaginary.

It seems to add up to me. Nobody pays attention to Gellar in real life. Even Travis leapt to the newsstand and saw Gellar on the front page, and they have been sitting there for awhile now, and nobody noticed Gellar? His murders are all over TV, he's on the front page of the paper, and nobody noticed him? I dunno, a bit too convenient. I could be wrong, though....

Bingo.

Well, they were in an area full of young people, and young people never watch the news on traditional media, so there you go.

But yeah, after that I'm leaning slightly more towards imaginary Gellar, but I still think he's real and the writers are just messing with us.

 

[Wyrminarrd]

If he's imaginary then I have to call BS on the editing. They should not have shown him on the other side of the phone call, it would have been enough to make it clear who Travis was talking to.

Still, I´m leaning towards him him being a split personality of Travis and that it will come as some kind of shock for Dexter when he finds out he let the killer go and someone else died because of it.

 

[Crockett]

The female professor aka Lorena is definitely worth keeping an eye for, I think she's hiding something more than she claims, if Gellar isn't real perhaps she's the one who killed him?

Anyone else who thinks the person who [BLACKOUT]shot Brother Sam[/BLACKOUT] is someone we've already met or a new person? The preview for the next episode makes it lean to the latter choice but what if that's what they want us to think? Could make something interesting out of it plot-wise if it's the former choice.

 

[squeekness]

Could be pulling a Tyler Durden on us.

yea I believe this is whats going on.

This is what I'm thinking, if it turns out the guy isn't real. I am starting to lean a bit more towards him being real though the jury is still out.

 

[Maximus One]

At this point if Gellar is real it is just flat out DUMB. The man has not talked to one single character besides Travis. If they say he's real at this point it is just gonna seem forcred. Why have him not interact with anybody at all? It's dumb! That isn't the way the world works! Waitresses ask both people sitting at a table if they need anything. If somebody is tied up and being held against their will they react to all the people in the room! Besides this whole issue this season has been really good

I agree, if he's real, it would feel forced and a bit ridiculous if he was.

-Nobody has interacted with him.
-Travis is the one who got all the snakes from the river.
-Travis is the one who killed the guy with the machete.
-Gellar didn't have anything set out for him at the restaurant, and the waitress didn't speak to him.
-The kidnapped jogger didn't acknowledge him.
-When Travis was getting punished, he did it, not Gellar.
-Gellar happened to put his hand on Travis' knee, which "just so happened" caused Travis to run the people over, and of course, the camera made it obvious that Gellar put his hand on his knee.
-Travis is the one who put the girl in the trunk, while Gellar just watched.

And on top of it all, Dexter just let Travis go because he said it was all Gellar. Wait, what? He just lets him go like that? Even if he helped Gellar with the murders(which he did and Dexter knows it), that would still be enough to kill him. Just like what happened in season 5, how Boyd was the only real killer, yet, all the other people died because they were Boyd's accomplices.

If we haven't seen anybody interact with Gellar, and the writers just happened to conveniently let Travis walk because he said he didn't physically murder them, then it just seems like the writers are trying to be clever. And if Gellar turns out to be real, then all of this was for nothing, then Dexter letting Travis off the hook just seems a bit contradictory to other seasons, and turns into sloppy writing. It all just seems to add up to Travis being the killer, Gellar being a figment of Travis' imagination, and Dexter getting duped by it. I bet by the end, Dexter will feel bad knowing he let Travis walk, seeing as he was the real murderer, and he will now have to trust his faith in his ability to see a murderer, while not being blindsided like that again.

 

[Number 6]

Well, not to really keep flaming this, but as far as the phone thing goes, it doesn't really prove Gellar is real if Travis is still interacting with him as if he's still alive. He's making these gaps for a person who is dead, just not in his head.

Not that I think it for sure, but it would make another interesting parellel between he and Dexter. Dexter knows he's imagining Harry in a rational, secular way, and Travis is running into his without questioning its reality like a more blind faith approach. It would also explain why Gellar's face was bleeding in the church as he was praying, but then fine the next moment (did anyone else pick up on that)?

But, I don't know, it could go either way. I am kind of on the side of the fence of some, though, that it's odd the way they've framed him throughout the season. If it's not true, seems they're at least trying to plant that seed.
