TD Ryan2 316 Posted June 20, 2013 tiki and Moz are winning this thread. Dexter was a terrific, original idea. Clever, well written, and original... "I love Halloween. The one time of year when everyone wears a mask... not just me. People think it's fun to pretend you're a monster. Me, I spend my life pretending I'm not." and then all sorts of "Luke, I am your father" outlandish, poorly thought out, unlikely, not-believable, just-plain-stupid plot "twists" roooned it.

tikigods 76 Posted June 21, 2013 Spimoff Astor and Cody pick up the serial killer torch and Deb protects them. No way that is going to happen. Like I said earlier, Jennifer Carpenter wants out and into films to avoid typecasting. I see them doing a prequel type show, animated, with the backstory of how Dexter developed into a serial killer similar to the webisodes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It could still be centered around the kids (maybe as teenagers/early 20's) without Deb. In the books they are both revealed to have the Dark Passenger, and Dexter even tries to bring Cody into the Harry Code. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, according to the producers or creator (can't remember which) they said it would be based off of Deb's character. They also said they would let the dust settle, after Dexter concludes, before starting anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Moz 71 Posted June 21, 2013 When it comes down to it DExter w/o DExter - will suck! Michael Hall makes the show and without him it just won't work. He is a great TV drama actor being in 2 of the best series ever in Cable TV -- 6 feet under and DExter. But I can't see him going Hollywood I do look forward to his next series. MCH should have a lot of people wanting to sign him up as he has been in 2 series and both became huge hits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phillybear 366 Posted June 24, 2013 I am finally caught up on the show, as of yesterday. What a weird series. First of all, the only possible conclusion to the series is that Deb kills Dexter on the table. Nothing else makes sense. The show started strong with the first 3 seasons. By far, the worst seasons were 4 and 5. What the fock? John Lithgow was mostly boring, his entire family was horrible, the episodes dragged along endlessly, and the finale was anticlimactic. The only good thing was getting rid of awful Rita. Then comes along frying pan face Julia Stiles in the season I want scrubbed from my brain like memories of a molestoring uncle. I really liked the imagery of the Colin Hanks season and the Fight Club twist. This past season spent too much time of the Hannah. I like the LaGuerta angle, but she needed to be knifed, by Deb, in the end. Does this mean we see less of Bautista? The whole Russian thing started out well, as did the Phantom, and both story lines fizzled out. The Hannah dad angle was over before it began. As was the Aster and Cody visit. And Louis. It was like they jammed 20 plot points in 12 episodes and never really let anything play out in due time; I guess Homeland is having that effect on many shows. So, Dexter needs to die, Deb knifes him on the table. The End. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Homeland > all other cable series (yes even GOT) also I think Dexter dying might be too obvious ............... then again they seem to lost all creativity in the show. so never mind.

The Moz 71 Posted July 1, 2013 Agreed one of the best Premiers the show has had. Great ending of the episode - you knew that she "knew" but it was great they didn't drag that fact out for several episodes they just went right to it. also any episode when Angel's sister is getting nailed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tikigods 76 Posted July 1, 2013 I'm just hoping the writers get this right. I'm going to be uber pissed if they fock this up. Prediction: spoiler alert Obviously the retired Captain knows something is up with Dexter. He must have some inclination that Laguerta's death is tied to Dexter/Deb since she was investigating them prior to her murder. He probably called in this lady and showed her the evidence. My guess is that she may actually be the one cutting out brains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to say one thing -- after having maybe the best opening episode in the 8 years of Dexter -- they better focking back this up with a bang! and a season like Trinity to go out with. I think it ends with everyone thinking Dexter is dead but the final shot is Dexter an Hannah in Argentina. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly Dexter will die and the spin off will have Deb but teaching Harrison "the code" Deb reportedly will NOT be in the spin off and I doubt it has anything to do with Dexter. I can see a spin off of maybe the chick from Chuck getting out and it being around her or something. The spinoff will have ties to Dexter I think but essentially have little to do with Dexter.
