    Well Dexter does have some dirt on Quinn. He saw him take money from a crime scene last season. Not sure if you consider that to be something major. I can however see Quinn finding out that Dexter is a serial killer and being ok with it. Remember when Quinn confronted Dexter early last season to try to explain to him why he took the money saying how they put their lives on the line and aren't appreciated enough hence why sometimes they need to take a little something for them (obviously not a direct quote but something to that effect).

    I don't think Lumen will wind up being a new love interest. I think she'll be gone after the season once Dexter helps her get over whatever the heck happened to her and he takes out the 'others' for her/with her.

    Good point, but taking money vs murder IMO don't exactly cancel each other out. There's got to be more.

    Yeah probably right unless of course Quinn feels the murder was justified. But yeah there must be something else Dexter finds out to even it out. Unless of course it's because of Deb.

    I really like the addition of Peter Weller for the storyline with Quinn going after Dexter. I'm just really not into any of the other storylines though. I care less about Batista/LaGuerda (why the hell wouldn't she just tell Batista what was going on what was the big deal?).

    I agree, I think all of the storylines are really great this year except the LaGuerda one. It doesn't make any sense why she wouldn't have told her husband....a fellow cop....about a stake out. Dumb not really believable plot there. Quinn in the Doakes role is nice, Dexter does need someone like that in the show.

    The way Batista is acting isn't believable at all. It's like he didn't learn anything at all from his first divorce.........and his kid is on the side of a milk carton ;p

    i groan every time she is on screen. she seems to be getting better

    the scene at the end with masuka was hilarious.

    the show kind of lost its way in episodes 2-5, but looks to be back on track

    petter weller could be really good too. 24 fans remember him. the guy is also a historian. hes been on some history channel stuff

    I agree with you and others on Stiles but at least that storyline seems to be building and getting interesting.

    As far as the whole Quinn storyline, unlike you guys, I find it annoying. It was great with Doakes but now it just feels too repetitive for my tastes. I am sure it will make for some great tense moments later on but as far as the basic story itself it feels lazy to me. Couple that with Deb doing her usual every season "love that is sure to mess up" routine and I am glad the Lumen part is picking up. Then again I could just be a grouch. :lol:

    Well the one thing I've learned about Dexter is that every season will end with some great plot twists and intense moments. I'm sure they'll tie everything together nicely in the end. Oh and I'm also curious to see how the weller character plays out especially in relation to Dexter and Quinn.

    Something tells me that Weller character might end up on the table sometime.. this week's episode was really funny. I think some of the last few episodes of last season and the first few of this one were rightfully dark and humor really would have been misplaced, but the dark humor in the show was always a huge draw for me. Dexter's character has always been funny in a great unintentional (for him not the writers) deadpan way.

    Last night's episode was really good. I liked the mini-twist with Jordan Chase being the guy from the CDs Boyd was listening to. I still have no clue what's going to happen next but I still think they're focusing way too much time on the Nanny for her not to be involved in something at the end of the season (not saying she's bad or anything but maybe Robocop gets some information from her or whatever).

    Anyway the only thing I don't like is a possible Dexter/Lumen romantic relationship. Plus it's ok this season but I like Dexter working alone and not with a partner.

    Last night's episode was great. Peter Weller has been the best thing that happened to this season. It's going to be extremely interesting to see how this all ends but I think it would be kind of lame if he ends up on Dexter's table at the end of the season. Just too obvious and predictable.

    I'm also glad they gave us a good storyline with Deb getting suspended, they could go in a bunch of different directions here.

    As a photographer...

    Even with that monster lens that Weller's character had, you would not have been able to get those pictures from that distance, especially at night.

    i wouldnt worry about spoiler tags in here. im not sure what someone would expect if they came in here lol. unless its info about episodes yet to be aired

    i may have to go back and look, but i think the pictures were only of them just getting on the boat and loading it or maybe i just assumed so based on your point. i mean, he has to go out a few miles. i think the photos are more about "what are these two doing on a boat at night and what are they loading."

    i just dont understand how dexter is now so oblivious to what is going on around him. i guess its a part of his character changing, but im not buying it. this season seems to take a step forward and two steps back, at least to me

    and lumen showing up inside the hotel room. why is she so dumb and annoying? lol

    Yeah it seems like the new producers are trying to change the basic formula of the show which I'm all for but so far it's not working out very well, since until the last two episodes this season has been a bit boring.

    I think the main problem with the show (and it's no one's fault) is the limited self life of the series. I mean really how many seasons can you have of this show without it getting stale? I love the show but there is a lot of repeated/similar storylines in it and Dexter never really seems to learn from his past mistakes (didn't he learn from Prado not to get close to someone yet he does it with Arthur Mitchell) nor has he really grown character wise (although maybe that's intentional).

    I really think this season should be the last. I mean I see no way how Dexter can get out of this mess with Robocop looking over his shoulder. I'm going to be extremely disappointed if Robocop ends up on Dexter's table just in the nick of time.

    I think the last episode will have Dexter getting killed rather than taken in.

    That's certainly possible. Who did you have in mind? The main bad guy of that season? The police? Someone we already know? Someone to be determined? Himself?

    I think it's going to end with Dexter at a kill location and just as he finishes off his victim. Deb comes crashing through the door to see(somehow she randomly decided to look at that location but doesn't tell anyone yet where she's going). She stares at him and he stares back and the credits roll. It ends the series at a cliffhanger that now Deb knows what do you think she'll do. I'm sure it will make tons of viewers upset that's how the series ends but I think it's a good way to let the viewer decide what happens next.

    I like the season so far....but I also went into it knowing there was no way they could top the Trinity season...at least not this year.

    I've thought all along that this season would have Debra finding out what Dexter is. Now how they handle it I don't know. I think Robocop gets it from Dexter or maybe even Debra or Quinn, he is blackmailing Quinn at this point basically. I think this season is going along really well for the most part, I think its natural that Dexter would reach out to someone, he is attracted to people as damaged as he is, remember thats what got him with Rita in the first place, she wasn't exactly a together person when they got together. Dexter has changed a lot from the 1st season, some of it good and some of it bad but I think the series would have gotten stale if it was just Dexter versus a big serial killer with no side personal story. I think the Debra storyline got a little interesting this week, as did the Laguerta storyline.

    right. rita didnt judge him and while damaged she was "pure" inside. it intrigued him. but there is also the sexual aspect too...or lack of it that interested him.

    i agree that the side stories have really improved. they were pretty bad in the beginning. in the first season, anything not involving dexter was just filler material. thing is though, i miss the crime scene aspect of the show. its seems like he is barely at work now. i prefer the anonymous vigilante

    great episode. i was wondering where harry was. i agree, the previews are setting this up like its just not possible for dexter to get out of this. its coming from multiple angles. the only way i out i can possibly see is that this is where deb starts to find out everything. i dont see anyway around this

    robocop is bugging his house? ridiculous.

    Im thinking Lumen ends up taking the fall in some way. If Robocop does something to get himself killed/taken out of the picture, there isnt anything really linking dexter to the murders. There is tons of evidence of the vigilante being Lumen, and thinking about how they handle guest spots I think something has to happen to Lumen to remove her from the main storyline in forthcoming seasons.

    Although now that Debra is aware of Lumen it would still create some suspicion about her brother, but at least that is something the writers could plausibly sweep under the rug. Maybe if Debra starts feeling empathy about Lumen being a vigilante(she is already going to be sympathetic because of her history with the Ice Truck Killer), and that would play into Debra acknowledging that she didnt feel anything when killing that thug a few weeks back, she felt he "deserved" it.

    Im just not so sure about her finding out the full truth about Dex. At least possibly not until the final season, which we know this is not. That said, its pretty hard to imagine someone so traumatized like Lumen going to prison over it...probably more likely she commits suicide or just disappears altogether once she is the primary suspect.

    Yeah this season is starting to pick up big time. Last night's episode was pretty intense. I'd like to know how the heck Jordan Chase figured out Dexter and Lumen are working together. And I think Dexter is screwed.

    Putting 2 and 2 together most likely. She was being held captive by boyd, and yet was never listed as one of the victims from the barrels, nor was she found alive as a victim by the police. Also remember, that Jordan was one of her attackers, and was listening to her trembling voice on the phone. When Jordan's guys started disappearing and realized Dexter was working against him it wouldnt be too hard for him to connect the dots there.

    As for Dexter being screwed, that is the feeling the writers have instilled in nearly every season, including the first season. With the foreknowledge that there is going to be at least another season after this, its hard to imagine Dexter being punished. There will have to be some trickery from the writers that gets him absolved of this somehow, but I imagine they will at the very least leave some suspicion there about him simply due to his revealed connection with Lumen.

    Has that been confirmed? I don't remember ever reading that there was going to be another season nor am I doubting you by any means. If it is true do you have a link or a source?

    I'd be pretty disappointed if Dexter magically escapes this this time. I mean each season he's really lucked out, if he does get out of this mess I truly hope it's a creative way that makes sense and not the obvious.
