Who's Been Watching Dexter this Season??

[Wadeb_21]

I was just wondering whos been watching it so far and what everyone thinks. I think its moving a little faster then normal this season. I kinda like the direction there going though, can't wait to see how it plays out.

I love the series it's a great show but the last season angered me.

Dexter should have given himself up and faced the consequences of his actions.

Imprisoning Dokes and being responsible for his death was wrong. His code can't justify that. Dokes was a good man.

Then he killed that convicted pedo even though he wasn't a killer and then killed that police chief's brother, even though it was an accident.

He's completely violated his code now and needs to be stopped.

I wondering how this show will end and how many series we will have.

He needs to die imo. Get caught, then die by electric chair, just like his dad warned him about.

I agree he has totally violated his code especially last season by killing Dokes.
You know who's kinda getting on my nerves this season is Dexters sister, shes pissing me off she's like a man in a womans body.
Originally when they started this series it was only suppose to be one season but because it got such a big following they continued it, I hope they don't drag it on forever. Dexter is one of those character you hate to love especially since hes went against his code.

Yeah I thought it should have ended with his handing himself in last season. Dokes could have walked him into the station, like the end of First Blood when Colonel Trautman comes out with Rambo.

Then we should have had the court case, the predicatable hysterics from his sister and girlfriend and then him frying in the chair.

This season isn't as good as the others so far, we already know his back story, the shocking revelations of his secret brother and horrific childhood have been revealed.

It feels like a series just because they could make more money from it. Him getting married and having a family, it's becoming a domestic drama now.

Hopefully he dies at the end of this series. Dokes was my favourite character and I want Dexter to suffer for his death. It's weird watching a show and loving it, despite rooting against the main character. I'm sure the viewing public are supposed to see Dexter as some kind of loveable anti hero but I see him as a sick fuck who needs to be put down.

A showdown with his sister and her putting a bullet in his head would be a good finale.

Plus the longer this has gone on the more silly the idea of a moralist serial killer becomes.

But in spite of my annoyance and distaste for the main character I still love the show.


By the way does anyone else think his sister looks like the love child of Teddy Atlas and a one of those tall women freaks from some Victorian circus show?

Dexter was my favorite show before True Blood. I still love Dexter though and actually I watch it first each Sunday. That way I build to supense.

Anyway, I wanted to say that they have already ordered Season 4 & 5 of Dexter. BD Horror News - TV: 'Dexter' Renewed For Two More Seasons

I think the transition from season 1 to season 2 was better than 2 to 3.

I think they rushed the killing of Lila at the end of Season 2 and now in season 3 they make no mention of her and the kids show no signs of trama from being abducted by her.

[BoxingGorilla]

At the end of season 2 didn't Dexter say he came to terms with himself and was only setting Dokes up to be the Bay Harbor Butcher?

It was actually Lila that killed Dokes. That is one of the reasons Dexter killed Lila. And the fact that Lila knew who he was then. I actually hated Dokes. I really don't like Angel either. Or Deb.

I like Dexter and Masuka.

The Code of Harry stopped Dexter from killing Doakes, but he probably felt justified in keeping Doakes in the cage after Doakes shot him in the leg. Dexter was going to release Doakes and take his chances with the criminal justice system, but Lila murdered Doakes.

But THIS season was about Dexter first accidentally breaking the code and then INTENTIONALLY doing it, and the negative things that would arise from not sticking to it.

Dexter killed Doakes' murderer: he probably feels he did the right thing. As for the pedophile, Dexter probably felt he was justified in protecting Astor, and pedophiles are hardly innocent in Dexter's mind.

This season is about Dexter learning WHY he should stick to the code.

As to the morality of the show, I won't comment.

It seemed like they've been using a lot of filler earlier on to get to the real meat: Dexter and Miguel. And now that he just killed Miguel in the next to last episode and the Skinner is still out there, there seems to be a lot of work to be done in the last ep. It really picked up for me, though.

There are actually 3 Dexter books..

They are :

Dearly Devoted Dexter
Dexter in the Dark
Darkly Dreaming Dexter

My girlfriend has read all 3 and she said that they compliment the show perfectly, as the tv show has a lot of different stuff going on and isn't based specifically of the events in the book. So it's worth reading them.
She also said that the people come across exactly the same in the book as they do in the tv show, especially Dexter. So even with already having an image of Dexter from watching it on tv, it fits perfectly with the book's Dexter and you can picture everything in the book as it happens on TV... Usually she's the same, she doesn't like watching movies then reading the book of it, or the other way around. But she said reading the books just makes her love the tv show even more, and watching the tv show makes her love the books even more..

If I had time i'd get stuck into the books as well..

I have a theory on Dexter, let me know what you all think.

Harry believes he saw certain characteristics in Dexter that would eventually lead to him becoming a serial killer. So he 'trained' him to keep them in check and gave him a code. What if Harry's code is what made Dexter a serial killer? We already know that Harry had a bit of a conflict of interest when it comes to Dexter (he was banging Dexter's mom), what if by not getting Dexter the help he needed to turn Dex away from some of his sociopathic tendencies he turned him into a killer. The kid was traumatized by seeing his mother get chainsawed, of course he was a little weird. And how about the fact Harry completely abandoned Dexter's brother? Harry isn't the nice guy Dexter and Deb remember him as and I think he wanted to craft a weapon to get at the people he can't put away.

Very interesting theory man. It makes sense because like you said Harry could get the bad guys he wasn't able to put behind bars. I like it. Maybe they end up going down that path you never know.

What also makes me think that is true sociopaths are only able to mimic emotions. They can't really care about anything but themselves. When Deb was kidnapped by his brother he really cared. And when Camilla was sick in the hospital he really cared. He may not have completely understood all the machinations behind wanting to die, but then again, he's never had cancer. You or I might have felt the same as him. If he were truly indifferent he wouldn't have put himself at risk to kill her.
