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.

Masuka cracks me up man he's a sick bastard lol. I thought it was funny in the other episode when he brought donuts to work and put his tickets to that thing he's doing in the donut box and was only giving donuts out if they took a ticket he's funny.

This season is just about over. whats your take on it and what do you think is going to happen in the finale?

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.

Glad this thread got revived I've been thinking about this show a lot lately.

I have to say I wasn't that keen on this series initially but the last couple episodes have been fucking awesome.

I was on the edge of my seat last week when he faced off with Miguel on that rooftop and then he got kidnapped by the skinner.

Fucking awesome show, hands down my favourite on tv, better than True Blood which although great fell a little flat in the end imo and even better than Lost as although that show is awesome the PG rating means it can't have the shocking impact that Dexter has at times.

The first series when he walked into that room filled with blood everywhere and fainted and then had the flashbacks about his mum being chainsawed in front of him as a baby, was unbeliveably sick and awesome for a tv show, and the ending of the second series even though I hated it for Doke's death was still probably the most gripping drama of the year for me.


I've even become a fan of Dexter the man again, seeing how Miguel lets his dark lusts consume him gives me a respect for Dexter and his efforts to contain his sickness.

I can't fucking wait until the skinner finds out just who he's dealing with.

I'm so hoping that Dexter doesn't have to be rescued by his sister, I just want him to be totally ruthless and awesome and sadistically skin the skinner and wear his face like a mask

Man when last nights episode started I really thought the skinner had kid napped him and just like you Bilbo I thought oh shit the skinner has no idea what he just go himself into, then come to find out it was just the bachelor party haha it had me right on the edge of my seat when he was squirming around in the truck.
I'm super excited for next weeks episode I can't wait but then when its over its going to leave me wanting more and we are gonna have to wait til next year.

I was right with you about this season Bilbo up until about 3 episodes together I kept thinking in my head man how are they going to wrap this whole thing up in just a few episodes well they did a pretty damn good job so far.
since this season is just about over I'm kinda curious on where there going to go with this next season.

[Dizaster]

I think Debra is going to find out about Dex... In that last episode, she went looking into her Fathers file re: His CI Lover... However that file was destroyed because it contained all the info on Dexter..

Obviously they wouldn't open that story thread without intending on taking it somewhere... But it's not really all going to come to a head in next weeks final episode... So I think the next Season will have Deb trying to work out stuff, and maybe eventually finding out through some piece of undestroyed evidence, that her fathers CI was the mother of Dexter and the Ice truck Killer...


There are couple of books which Dexter was based off that my girlfriend has read... I told her i'll go Dexter on her if she tells me any information about it and ruins the show for me..

The only thing she slipped out was back in one of the old episodes where Rita's boy was getting pissed off about the dog next door, he goes "I just want it to shut-up".. And that is what Dexter said before he killed the Dog when he was a kid... And she said that in the books Rita's kid may show signs of being evil like Dexter..... But they havn't shown absolutely anything at all along that path apart from that one line from the first season I think it was... And I think it would be a little to sadistic to have the kid turning into a killer...

Wow that would be crazy if they did end up going in the direction of the Kid being just like Dexter. It is on Showtime so anything is possible. I thought there was only one book about dexter and it was the first season, guess not if your read a couple of them, I might have to get my hands on a copy of these books. I kinda didn't want to before just because I really liked th show and normally when I read a book I like the book better.
This is probably one of my favorite shows in along time, its just something totally different I love it.

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.

[Dizaster]

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..
