Episode 1 premiers on 9/26.

Oh man, Quinn looks to be "out for" Dexter. :D

[Chingas]

Darrell started this thread? NO WAY! Season 5 is gonna be intense! So much going on now. No wife to report to, a house and CTI box for privacy. Can't wait.

Just got into Dexter this year. Watched all 4 seasons in the matter of a month or so. I'm ready!

[Starscream]

I'm more than ready for season five, but a little nervous also. New writer/director/producer (whoever it is) from 24 has me a bit worried for this series.

[Darrell]

Darrell started this thread?

Why is that a surprise? :confused:

:tu Nice I've seen every episode about 4 times. What a great show. This season looks awesome, I'm not a fan of quinn I hope dexter kills him.

[Darrell]

Season 4 is out on DVD today!

Season 4 is out on DVD today!

Luckily it was still on Showtime On Demand, so I got to catch up before the new season starts!

My wife was SUPER pissed at the ending. I can't wait to see what they do with the storyline this year.

Although I am wondering why andysutherland would be so worried about a 24 producer?

[Chingas]

I was super happy about the ending. She had to go. Such a thorn on the side of a great killer.

When's Season 5 debut?

New people in on a series usually isn't a good thing, despite where they have previously worked. Look at Star Trek (TOS) season 3. New people in and the show tanked.

[Starscream]

Sunday is the day!:tu

[Darrell]

I am super stoked. :tu

[awsmith4]

Just finished watching Season 4 tonight so I'm ready (I've seen all the others too) I don't have Showtime so I may order it just for Dexter.

If you do order it, catch up on Weeds and Californication too.:tu

[awsmith4]

I am up on weeds through season 4 or 5 thanks to netflix but I've never seen Californication

Weeds is a great show. :tu

[Starscream]

I just started Californication season one on Netflix. It's great so far.

[Starscream]

Weeds is a great show. :tu

I'm not that into this season, but it's still enjoyable to watch.

[awsmith4]

I just started Californication season one on Netflix. It's great so far.

Looked back and I am through season 5 of Weeds, wanting to start a new series and was thinking between Californication and The Tudors

[kydsid]

cant wait. just finished the 4th book that just came out. i tell you the differences in the plot line between the two can be hard to keep track of sometimes

Dexter TONIGHT FINALLY! Give this a bump in preparation for a discussion.

[MajorCaptSilly]

Go Dexter! It's your birthday! Go Dexter! Put your knives in the air and wave them around like you just don't care!

MCS;s

[Swany]

Yay for Dexter. :D

[Darrell]

Tooooooooonight's gonna be a GOOD night! :wo

[Chingas]

It was a little slow but i think that was on purpose. This season looks like its gonna be very stressful to watch!

[Bill86]

Haven't seen the episode yet but the previews....oh yea it's going to be stressful.

[Chingas]

Watch it! I wont say anything about the first episode but they do a season preview and it looks stressful for all of us. Lots of anxiety.

[Starscream]

Good episode of Dexter as well as Eastbound and Down. Sunday nights are great again!

[Ferrari5180]

Very good episode. I love that part of him at the end in the washroom. I was totally not expecting that.

[Bill86]

Done, great first episode. I think this season is going to be very interesting

I hope he kills Quinn this year. He gets on my nerves. I miss Doakes.

[Starscream]

Looked back and I am through season 5 of Weeds, wanting to start a new series and was thinking between Californication and The Tudors

I like the Tudors better, but it's very long and drawn out.

[hscmit]

watched it tonight, pretty good and hope it sets the stage for a great season. This is one of the only shows that has surpassed the books it was based on for my enjoyment.

[Starscream]

It's been good so far, but not quite up to normal Dexter standard.

[hscmit]

kids are out of the way, time for Dex to get back to work. Season should start to pick up now, I hope.

[Starscream]

But are they out of the way permanently?

BTW, whatever happened to the story angle with Quinn being a dirty cop? Seems as if they either dropped the storyline or I just forgot what came of all that. Remember when he took the money out of the safe at a crime scene?

[Bill86]

I wouldn't go as far as to say Quinn is dirty. He took that money the one time but that was it. Although that might come up later in this season. I'm guessing Dexter might have to take out Quinn as it seems Quinn is becoming the new Doakes, up in Dexters business and whatnot. We'll see though. As far as the slower start....I didn't think it was really that slow he got someone in the first episode. Second episode was good. Looks like the seasons really building up quite well.

Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed the first two episodes very much, it's just not quite the BEST Dexter I've seen. Then again, it's hard to top the last season.

[hscmit]

Last nights episode was very good. Didn't see the twist coming. Wonder how this will play out.

I thought it was moving a bit slow, but now Dexter has too many problems. Gonna be a tough season for Dex.

For real. Last episode ended of a cliffhanger. I cannot wait to see the next episode. I just hope the producers keep the show about Dexter and not wander off like some television shows do.

The witness was Julia Styles, so I bet she's gonna be a part of the rest of the season. This won't get resolved quickly.

[Eleven]

I thought they were gonna drag out the Animal Control guy a little longer. But he did say a couple of interesting things...'you don't know what you're getting into' and 'I gave them what they wanted (or asked for, can't remember exactly)'.

It was good to see a great Dexter ending, brings back memories of the first season.

[Bill86]

Great new episode, It seems like he's just letting the girl go...this could hurt them.

Quinns suspending so you know he'll only go further into dexters business. WOW every episode is just building and building. I suspect something GREAT happening this season.

I think you are spot on. Looks to be good. I also wonder where the irish lass will come into all that.

[Starscream]

I think you are spot on. Looks to be good. I also wonder where the irish lass will come into all that.

Me too. I loved her in The Tudors and hope she sticks around as a regular for a while.

Looks like Julia Styles is gonna be a big problem in the next episode. A loose cannon so Dex will have to take her out.

[Eleven]

I'm not sure what to think of the previews coming up.

I highly doubt that Trinity's son will give up Dex, but I am not too sure how this turn of events with the girl is going to play out.

Dexter already did the Mentor/Partner thing with Jimmy Smits.

I would hate to see him have to kill Quinn, but after all these years if they ever kill off Masuka I will stop watching.

:r:r masuka isn't dying EVER. He is too....perverted and illogical. He thought quinn jacked all those meds. Quinn....I could do without so I bet he dies this season because he's VERY much like doakes, a PITA. The girl is the checkmate..I don't know whats happening with her, it really could go either way. This Debra and Quinn thing could play out many ways as well. I think this season will be the 2nd best season ever.

You think Deb will kill Quinn? She finds out about Dex and kills him to protect her brother? I've been thinking this for a while now.

[Bill86]

Interesting....not sure Deb is up for it. I'm sure as the season progresses we'll be able to see if that is a possibility. I still think Dexter will get him.

On a interesting note the victim of the slashing said "tatuaje" this episode O_O.

[hscmit]

things are getting worse for Dexter how that the girl knows his name and Quinn is hiring out help. I think the dirty cop stuff will come back on Quinn and he will end up helping tracking down the rapists

[tx_tuff]

Quinn has a double edge sword over his head, it has never been good for anybody looking into Dex plus has never been good for anybody sleeping with Debra LOL

By the way anybody besides my wife and me thinks the actor playing Quinn looks sick this year? His face is all drawn up and skinny.

[Bill86]

Helping dexter? No way, Quinn has always had it out for Dexter. Although that would be interesting.......
But I got Quinn dying this season, investigating Dexter too much and banging Debra.

sorry not written clearly, what I meant was she isnt going to leave miami, and Dex is going to have to finish her story out by tracking down the other rapists and allowing her some part of it for "closure"

[Bill86]

Oh right yea I agree Dexter will kill the rapists. I should have probably understood that O_O. I'm burned on looking at computer screens.

[Starscream]

By the way anybody besides my wife and me thinks the actor playing Quinn looks sick this year? His face is all drawn up and skinny.

Or drugs...
I've noticed it too.


The side stories this year are good, but I just can't get into Lumen (Julia Styles). She's getting on my nerves. I wish the Quinn storyline would be the focus of this season.

[Bill86]

I agree Julia Styles never appealed to me, shes not even really hot....... She needs to go away. She's got too much screen time.

[Bill86]

Getting better and better! Lovin it, please god get rid of Julia Styles! I wouldn't hit it for all shes worth. Dexter covered up a crime scene on the spot! He's getting sloppy and Styles looks like his new woman.

[tx_tuff]

Last night was the best show of the season so far. The reason I say that is because it finally sent this season into a direction, Dexter now has course to follow.

:tpd:
Wonderful episode! I really love Masuka's reenactment of the crime scene! Hilarious!

[hscmit]

agree, best of this season so far

lets get quinn on the table!

[Bill86]

This is a really good season, reminds be of the fresh and original first season!

Yes quinn + table = ratings!

[Brutus2600]

Just finished Sunday's episode.

Gotta agree with everybody, one of my favorites so far.

I see this season ending much the way the second one ended with Doakes dying after figuring out who Dexter was. Quinn will probably figure it out then have to die, which totally sucks for Debra, lol. I think every one of her boyfriends have died on this show, haven't they? :p Wait, except for the musician dude...still, 3 out of 4 is a pretty big ratio :r

[Bill86]

Yeah that is true about deb, but remember they aren't bf/gf they are "Phuckbuddies".

[Brutus2600]

They were f-buds until last episode when they sat down and said they wanted to be in a relationship :)

[Bill86]

I was referring to what she said to Dexter, he doesn't know they are looking into a relationship. So if Quinn got the Axe....so far ...he wouldn't know.

[Starscream]

Just to let you guys know (if you didn't already recognize him), the bad cop who was suspended and is helping Quinn was Murphy aka Robocop.:banger

[Starscream]

Good episode last night. It gets deeper and deeper.

[hscmit]

it was a little slow but still pretty good

[Bill86]

Very good episode, I'm liking the way this is going.

[Bill86]

OH SH!T, tonights episodes really coming together. It's not quinn dexters going to tag it's that PI detective guy. Maybe Quinn too....this seasons shaping up to be nothing short of awesome.

[tx_tuff]

No doubt this was once again the best episode this year, seems like they are just getting better and better! But I think something will happen and Quinn will end up talking the PI out not Dexter.

[Eleven]

I got a HUGE problem with the last scene. Dexter goes way out to sea to dump parts, it makes no sense that someone with a camera and big lenses should be able to see him.

Also, how did they explain the busted down door between the hotel rooms? And does Dex use his own ID to pay for rooms?

And won't there be hotel surveillance footage of Lumen running away from that guy?

Seems to be more and more of these little discrepancies creeping in to storyline.

[tx_tuff]

When it comes to things like that I could break down most movies and TV shows and decide not to watch them because of it.

As far as the hotel surveillance, they would need a reason to use it. Not like the guy has been reported missing to the police. The door is a problem but it was broken in Dexter's room, not the missing guys room. So that would be noticed by someone looking for the dead guy. Although it would be noticed by the Hotel workers.

And the pictures on the boat, I thought the same thing but it's not like he can use the same spot he had used in the past after the bodies where found before. Maybe he is close and not "out to sea". Besides he can't be out to sea and out all night with the baby at home.

as for the cameras you would be surprised how little cameras hotel have. The hotel I use to work at was 143 rooms and had 9 cameras. Most of them in the back, couple in the lobby and that's it.


You would pay cash for the hotel. It's rarely done anymore but you can. No ID or questions asked. But the broken door I did get that. As for the last scene I'm not sure how he knew where dexter was in the first place or why he cares still waste time hunting Dexter.

[Starscream]

My question with the broken door is how did they seal it back w/o anyone noticing the damage while Dex was performing the kill? I also had an issue with the camera picking up Dexter at sea. In the second season Dexter starts going 10+ (or somewhere along those lines) miles out to sea to dump the bodies in the gulf stream.

Despite the continuity flaws, it was still another good episode.

[Darrell]

This season is finally picking up. I've been behind because of school.

Does anyone else think the Babysitter is hiding something? I don't trust her 100%.

Also, I think Lumen is going to become a liability just like Miguel Prado. I really hate to see him kill her after he's shown her all of that stuff, mainly because that's already been done in a prior season ex: Miguel Prado.

Quinn's vendetta for Dexter really pisses me off. Dexter caught Quinn taking money from a crime scene, but he never ratted him out. Let it go Quinn, you're out of your element, here and it could very well cost you your life.

Deb is a Black Widow (though she doesn't do the killing herself) so Quinn will surely die this season, it's just the dynamics of the characters, her love interest always dies.

I also questioned the broken door. As soon as he came bursting through it, I told Danielle "That's going to be interesting to hide / fix".

The NARC Cop who was on the take is a slimy bastard and I have trouble believing his super big lens can shoot that far out to sea. That's a big continuity flaw for me.

Also, Deb is suspended because she followed Maria's orders? That's horseshit and she is such a dirty ***** for making Deb take the fall for it. I'm glad that Angel is an honest cop and has Deb's back. I hope that Maria loses her position and someone else moves up, such as Angel.

I see the season playing out something like this:

If you recall in the preview for next week it shows Lumen on the phone calling Dexter to tell him someone is in the house.

I see that person at the door being Quinn. Lumen will probably attack him as he comes in the house and probably kill him. That will mean she killed an innocent and give Dexter the option of taking her out because she violated his code. The NARC will probably be killed by Dexter, but I think that will turn into a giant game of cat and mouse and tie up the rest of the season.

Thoughts? Discussion?

[tx_tuff]

After the first few shows I thought Dexter would be kill Quinn as well, but now I think different. Quinn is in love with Deb and he doesn't want her to be hurt, you could see that by trying to get the NARC to drop it the last couple shows. So what I see happening before the season ends is Quinn knocking off the NARC one way or another. Or even Deb talking him out while him and Quinn are going at it. Deb will lose her by proxy Black Window status this year.

Also keep in mind that now Deb has tasted blood and had no remorse for it. Don't think it will happen this year but they are laying the foundation for Dexter to be able to tell her about him killing the Trinity Killer and possibly everything else. But like I said not this year.

Thoughts? Discussion?

Great insight, Darrell. I don't agree with you on Lumen killing Quinn, but good thought process here. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Quinn has turned into a face lately, so maybe he won't die this season. But that remains to be seen. The NARC (Robocop) is gonna die, but by whom? Quinn, Debra, Lumen, or Dexter?

Debra killed this season and feels indifferent to it, so she may very well kill again. I keep waiting for her to find out about Dexter, like she has in the books.

[tx_tuff]

It's getting much closer to Deb finding out the truth about her brother! But I still think that won't be until next year. The trend this season keeps going, I think every week is better then the last! Dexter is once again in a rat and mouse game with another killer, but there are a lot more people playing along with them this time around.

I still think and believe even more now that Quinn is going to take out the PI/dirty cop. He has already screwed up once with Deb and is going to do what he can to not hurt her again and win her back. Why I don't know, she is one ugly mean b*tch LOL.

:confused: She's a bit too skinny, but I think she's hot.


This season has been getting better and better as it goes along. So much more going on and in totally different directions than what happened in the first episode. Not as good as season 1 or 4, but I think it's safe to say that this season so far has surpassed season 2 and 3 as of right now.

[tx_tuff]

Oh well we all have different taste. By the way did you know that the Morgans (Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter) are married i real life?

[Bill86]

Oh well we all have different taste. By the way did you know that the Morgans (Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter) are married i real life?

Yep. Michael C Hall also had cancer in between last season and this season. Jennifer Carpenter isn't looking she could use a sammich though for sure.

Good episode last night. I too think Quinn will go after the PI. Dexter is definitely in hot water this season. Great season though.

[MajorCaptSilly]

When did Peter Weller become such a bad actor?

[hscmit]

good episode this week

I forgot about that oscar for best actor he won for doing Robocop 2.:D

[Brutus2600]

Wow...just got done with last weeks episode and I've got to agree, although the season started out slow, it's really picked up. I think it was difficult for them to transition from last season's plot to this season's, but it's worked out quite well and I don't think I've been as anxious for the next episode since Doakes was investigating Dexter in season 2.

[Starscream]

Another great episode. It took long enough for this season to get going, but at this point, I have no idea what's gonna happen next. Hope we see more seasons after this one. Anyone heard about the series being renewed for another season?

[Bill86]

It seems Dexter stays one step ahead of Jordan, but Liddy is staying 2 steps ahead of Dexter. This is going to get VERY interesting for the last 2 episodes.

[hscmit]

good episode

So far, Showtime has not renewed it for a sixth season. I'm sure they will though.

This was a good episode and I'm really excited to see what happens next. Ole Robocop may end up suffering a similar fate as James Doakes. Dexter is without question becoming a little sloppy (i.e. blood at Cole Harmon's place after Lumen hit him). I don't see Dexter going past a sixth season.

Hopefully it'll go a while. I love this series. I gotta start reading the books soon. The fifth book was released this past September.

[Bill86]

Dexter should definitely get another season. If Entourage was renewed for an 8th (love the show, but serious season 7 was shitty) (yes I know it's HBO and Dexter is Showtime). there would be no justice not to let this show keep going.

[tx_tuff]

This season has really built nicely with each episode getting better then the last. I have a feeling that come the last episode, very last minute, Deb is going to find out about Dexter one way or another.

You might be right but I think they'll wait till next season or maybe Deb will find out and that will be the plot for the next season.

[tx_tuff]

You might be right but I think they'll wait till next season or maybe Deb will find out and that will be the plot for the next season.

That is the perfect reason for her to find out at the end of the last episode this year. That way next year can start right from that and it won't start slow like this season did.

[Bill86]

That is the perfect reason for her to find out at the end of the last episode this year. That way next year can start right from that and it won't start slow like this season did.

Agreed, to me it's gotta happen. Deb shot that dude and didn't care much at all, I think she might embrace what Dexter does. That would make for a very interesting sixth season.

[Darrell]

I was just thinking the same thing.

Remember when she asked Dexter if he knew what kind of person would kill the guys who hurt those girls? and she said that she would do that.

[Bill86]

I was just thinking the same thing.

Remember when she asked Dexter if he knew what kind of person would kill the guys who hurt those girls? and she said that she would do that.

Yeah I think sooner or later it only makes sense they team up. Even if she just feeds him targets. Or asks "favors" of making people disappear.

Somebody spilled the beans in last year's discussion thread and said that Deb and Dex team up and she helps him with his kills in the novels. But I hear the novels are a lot different than the tv series.

the tv show split from the books before the end of the first season

the first half of the first season follows very close to the plot of the book but by the end is slightly different. From that point the stories go in completely different directions

[3SmokesaRound]

That is the perfect reason for her to find out at the end of the last episode this year. That way next year can start right from that and it won't start slow like this season did.

Didn't even realize this thread existed until now :tu

Couldn't agree more! I still remember the HOLY CHIT factor at the end of Season 4 and I think at this point that would be the best way to end this season. Although I never saw that coming at the end of Season 4, so maybe the writers have something else in store for us.

I'd be bummed if this show wasn't picked up for another season. I get Showtime every year just for Dexter. Probably my favorite show of all time.

[Bill86]

There we go Libby is dead and Chase has Lumen. This is going to be a fantastic finale next week!

Quinn looks like he is going to stay off the table this season after all. Kind of disappointed. Or maybe he'll find the blood on his shoe and figure dexter out.

Very awesome season.

[wavescrashing]

It's a great season. Did you notice in the preview for the Finale they showed Deb pointing a gun at Dexter and said "don't friggin move"?
I'm thinking that they made it into a cut screen and that she's not actually pointing the gun at him, but I could be wrong. But seriously, they just signed for a new season so....

[Bill86]

I don't watch previews, pretty much for that reason. That it could actually be something different than what you see. But this season is fantastic, for me Dexter always delivers.

[hscmit]

great setup for the final episode

[tx_tuff]

Well I was wrong, I figured Quinn would end up killing Libby. What do they say, close but no cigar LOL. Quinn is going to know for sure that Dexter killed Libby since of course he was the one he was watching, but the Quinn Dexter saga will not end this season. I watched in the slow mo the preview with Deb pointing the gun at Dexter, the back grounds look similar and so does the shirt Dexter is wearing and the shirt of the arm/had dropping the knife. But come on that doesn't mean anything. Either way looks like it will be a good last show.

[Starscream]

It's not over for Quinn yet.
I hate episodes where Dexter is sloppy, but this one was necessary to set up the finale. Maybe it will get pinned on Quinn?

I could see that. Quinn kind of reminds me of Doakes or whatever his name was that Dexter pins the bay harbor butcher on. Only difference is Quinn was smart enough to back off

I never liked Quinn until this season. If he gets offed or accused of the murder, I'll be a bit saddened.

[JDTexan]

Great episode, can't wait for the finale.

[tx_tuff]

Quinn did have blood on his shoe and they showed it being swabbed in the preview, but Quinn knows to much just to take the fall unless he "disappears". Either way can't wait till Sunday.

On a side note started listening to the first Dexter book last night.

[rebelknight]

How are the books? I don't have a lot of time to free read being a student but I still read about 10-15 books every year and I've been interested in starting to read the Dexter novels

[3SmokesaRound]

Can't wait for Sunday!

[Bill86]

I hear ya Bill, I'm going to call it now best finale of the year.

I liked the first two and the new (5th) one. The third and fourth were not as good, in my opinion.

Just started listening to the first, only to chapter 6. It is different but a lot of same charters. So far so good.

[Starscream]

I was a bit let down by the ending. Too many issues magically resolved. No explanation about Quinn's fingerprints and connection to Robocop, Lumen is all of a sudden healed and Dexter has no issue with her leaving with all of his secrets. And Quinn seems to know Dexter killed Robocop, but he's ok with it just b/c he loves Deb.


It was a lot like the ending to Huck Finn, as if Twain got tired of telling the story, so everything just "magically" got put back in place for a happy ending.

Everything did magically resolve in a sense. But you really don't know that for sure until season 6 starts. It could go several ways.
1. Quinn could easily put 2+2 together and wonder why Dexter cleared him off the case.
2. Dexter and Quinn could become friends
3. Quinn realizes Dexter killed Liddy and it bites Dexter in the a$$ at a later time.
4. Quinn uses the murder as leverage and could essentially make Dexter do whatever he wanted with the threat of telling Deb

Although it also brings the kids (all 3) back into the picture. Lumen being healed, well she got what she wanted everyone responsible dead. As far as Dexters secrets well she killed 2 people herself, I cannot imagine her ever spilling his secrets.

I agree about the Quinn thing though. It does become pretty painfully obvious Dexter did that one. But again Quinn thanked him for clearing him and that makes them MAYBE even at best. It could pit Quinn vs Dexter for season 7. Or Quinn could care for Deb too much and let go.

If I'm not mistaken Dexter always ends with everything "wrapped up". The new seasons are always a complete surprise.

[tx_tuff]

Quinn knows Dexter did it, Dexter knows that Quinn knows. Its all Deb that is saving both of them, Quinn doesn't want to lose her over it and Dexter doesn't want to take out her love, he wants her to be happy. So that only means that at a later time when the Quinn and Deb relationship falls apart it will bring up Quinn Vs Dexter again. That could be a couple years away.

As far as "issues magically resolved" that happens all the time on the show and is nothing new. Quinn was cleared because of the blood Dexter doctored up, as far as finger prints and phone calls he explained that by being his only friend. If they showed every little detail it would be a 2 hour show LOL.

Overall it was good but I was telling the wife at the start of the show that Lumen was leaving, and as soon as Deb walked into the camp house I told her that Deb was letting them go. So unlike last year I could see things coming which made it not as good as last years ending. But we still enjoyed it.

[kydsid]

something about what deb said to dexter at the party and how she was with quinn makes me think he told her everything and she has a suspicion or more about dexter.

It was an ok ending at best but I am still very interested in the show.

[Starscream]

Except for last year. Rita lying in a bathtub filled with her own blood wasn't "wrapped up" to me.;)

Yeah, I know it's only an hour long show (45 minutes really), but they could have had a better explanation for Quinn getting off the hook (or took out the detail of his fingerprints being everywhere). I'm ok with the whole Lumen story, but the Quinn ordeal is still bugging me today.

I'm still a fan of the show, yet I was a bit let down b/c of the continuity issues. Yes, there have been some in the past, but this season takes the cake with all of the flaws. I was still entertained and will continue to watch and enjoy the show.

[tx_tuff]

Keep in mind that Quinn's fingerprints where only on the outside of the van (from when he tried to open the doors) and not on the inside. So that makes a big difference.

[hscmit]

yep, there are some pretty big holes in Quinns story. I also imagine there was some of Dexters blood left on the flipped, stolen car at the camp

[tx_tuff]

Doesn't matter for 2 reasons, one Dexter does all the blood testing, and 2 even if somebody else did it there would be no match because Dexter's blood/DNA is not in the system.

[Darrell]

I like this show, but the finale was a bit underwhelming.

[Bill86]

I dunno, it was kinda weird and surprising on how close Dexter was to Deb figuring him out. I thought it was a good ending, but I agree nothing earth shattering. But it does set up for what I believe will be a VERY exciting 6th season.

[3SmokesaRound]

Just watched it tonight, as we had company last night, and thought it was okay. Nothing like last year obviously, and was hoping that Deb was going to find out about Dexter. Was also hoping that Lumen would be around, but kind of figured she's be gone once Jordan was. I look forward to next season and wish there were more than 12 damn episodes per season!

[Bill86]

You ain't kidding Bill! I'm quite shocked really, there is a lot of shows out there with 20+ episodes a season that are quite good. Burn Notice and Fringe come to mind. Although lately Fringe has been very Meh.

[tx_tuff]

I think they where setting up for Deb finding out about Dexter next season. Would make a pretty good secondary story line.

[tx_tuff]

Don't know if y'all heard the news today that Dexter is divorcing Deb LOL. Michael C Hall and Jennifer Carpenter (Deb) are getting divorced. Also I think it was posted when it was announced on Dec 7th, Dexter has been renewed for a season 6.

Yeah I saw that on IMDB. Shame, said they didn't really get along all season. I really hope the show doesn't suffer because of their divorce.

[Starscream]

Hope the divorce didn't have anything to do with the cancer. Sad to hear this.

[rebelknight]

My girlfriend gave me the first two books for Christmas. Once I'm finished with the book I'm in the middle of I'm going to start them. Can't wait. Also I really enjoyed the season finale. Still a little disappointed Deb didn't find out it was Dexter. I've been waiting for that moment for a long time and that was so perfect for it.
