Dexter Season 5

shortgirl00

I can see your point about it not sucking you in. Maybe it's because it seems like there is to many occurrences where Dexter needs to cover his tracks. But than again, he is going against the "code" as well as kind of having a partner who interrupts his deal.
Yea at times it can be slow, but I still think the way they write is awesome. Just when you think Dexter you are screwed, you are like...very nice...lovely twist.

The coming attractions at the end of last weeks episode for this week made it seem different- like Deb saw Dex running outside when he was trying to tackle that guy wrapped up. THAT wouldve been an intense scene, but thats not how it went down.

But yes, I agree. I watched the last episode and was kind of like Really?? Wow how does he get out of that.

And yea, not like the coming events to follow. But you have to admit, kind of funny how it played out. They just hook you. We watch and wait.

See the way you feel right now is how I felt with the last episode last season. I was like man this is slow, are they going to make it so blah, and then bam..Rita is dead.

I think that is going to happen. Well I hope so anyway. I am uneasy with Julia Stiles, not sure why they have her interrupting things. Probably to do with Dexter and emotions. Finding some identity?

Still someone on the fence this season.

if deb would have actually seen him chasing that guy....don't you think that would have kind of done dexter in? the previews every week make you think stuff like that will happen. this occurs in most shows. i for one was on the edge of my seat for most of last night's episode. i thought it was great. had to suspend belief for a bit....but it was still great.

dex is going against harry's code...he is making tons of mistakes....this season has to end with him getting caught.

wouldn't some kind of investigation lead to dex's and lumen's prints all over that warehouse? dex didn't have his gloves on. especially the dude who he was originally going to kill...

I'd still like to see Dexter get caught. and have a season of a trial, flashbacks etc...

that would be the ultimate way for it to end...the most logical too.

it feels weird to root for that and also for him to get away with everything on a week to week basis. that's part of the reason the show is so intriguing to me.

Yeah...that would be a killer ending to the series.

I'm pretty sure that's where they are going. They made a point to emphasize Masuka saying "Don't touch that nozzle"...which Lumen used to wash the blood down the drain.
You know they are going to pull her prints off of it.

Lumen's prints on the nozzle, blood clearly washed down the drain, a plastic police tie used to tie up the rapist guy (everyone has those...), the guy in plastic who will clearly tell his story of a guy abducting him (which may or may not hold weight considering they'll find out he killed others), and the lack of GSR on the plastic wrap guy...

Seems like a thorough investigation would bring up a lot of inconsistencies.

I just can't wait for Deb to find out that Quinn is secretly investigating her brother...which you know will happen especially since they are now a couple, of sorts. - Adds to the drama.

Didn't the guy Dexter chased and dragged back to the warehouse die? I thought they showed him getting strangled when Dexter was dragging him by the plastic and it was wrapped around his neck.

Oh, I guess that's possible. I just assumed he was passed out from being stangled.

Either way, there is still a lot in that crime scene that wouldn't add up.

I said the same thing. Sooner or later they would have either Dexter or Lumen's prints or some evidence left behind to link either of them to the scene. Dexter is walking on thin ice this season but I am loving every minute of it.

Zap straps aren't particularly hard to get a hold of. Anybody could probably walk into a hardware store and get them.

i hope they have an investigation...if not it would expose some huge holes in the writing.

I watched the last episode again yesterday (nothing else was on at the time).

So Dexter had his gloves on the whole time he touched anything that would be incriminating.
I thought Masuka said not to touch the nozzle because of potential fingerprints, but it seems it was more of a sexual connotation/reference than it was from an investigational standpoint. We'll see...

When the guy in plastic was making a run for it, what I don't get is why he didn't yell for help. Flashlights were visable from around the corner...pretty sure if that was me, I'd be yelling for anyone's help as a madman was chasing me down! Had the guy said anything, Dexter would have been bigtime screwed!

Wasn't it Lumen that hosed down the room though. Not sure if he told her to wipe off her prints though.

Yeah, it was.
Between the potential prints, her being seen by Quinn, and the investigation pulling up info on these girls (you know they'll find someone who's gonna talk about Lumen), it's a matter of time before she's found out and since it appears Dex is getting close to her...could spell trouble.

Looks like P.I. guy is going to get a little closer to Dexter next week. THe previews look good. I kind of like his character...such a dick! haha!

I'm still completely on the fence for this season.

Took a while to get going, but I'm really enjoying it now, the last two episodes have been really good.

While I'm enjoying this season, I can see how others might think it's a bit "meh".
There is nothing really new going on from previous seasons.
The Code is pretty much an afterthought.
Still not sure where this Lumen thing is going...
So many "pieces" in place that could get good, but it's really being drawn out.


I thought the club scene was good. I just wonder how it's going to play out with LaGuerta's dumb decision to have that undercover go in.
