Another thing from a few episodes ago -- Dexter called 911 to leave an anonymous tip about DDK, but didn't disguise his voice in any way and called from his personal cell phone. I find it hard to believe that the Lieutenant or lead detectives on the case wouldn't listen to the 911 phone call themselves or try to figure out what number called it.

Yet another good point. My girlfriend brought this up and I thought it was a really good observation.

Yeah, I said the same exact thing when that happened. That's just lazy writing right there...

I don't really care about the Deb/Dexter thing - I just want to know how super-non-corrupt Deb is going to reconcile what she saw Dexter do in the last 10 seconds. That is the real question IMO. And now we have to wait till September again :evil:

this show has featured lazy writing since season 3. just gotta look past it and accept the show for what it is.

It's kind of unfortunate that we know this show has two more seasons. By knowing this it also made this season's ending less dramatic. Deb is clearly going to have to cover for him or turn a blind eye because you can't have a show about a guy in prison.
I also got a hunch that she'd find out this season especially when she started to realize her new-found "love" for him.

That's another problem I have witht he Deb loving Dexter plotline that was just introduced. It's just too convenient that she realized this a few episodes before she saw him killing someone. I really hope the writers don't take the easy route..but with two seasons left, I don't think the "status-quo" will be changed too much. Either Deb is conflicted about what to do because of her feelings and covers for him / turns a blind eye or the writers really take the easy way out and she faints or something, thinks its a dream, and her therapist tells her it's because her mind is having trouble accepting her feelings for Dexter. They already set up another "big bad" for next season so it seems like it may just be the same formula again...Let me guess..the intern will be killed by Dexter in the season finale (just like in every season). I really hope not and they go for something new.
.

i believe deb finds out about dex in the books and they sort of work together. i haven't read them yet but this is what i've been told. for years i've been wanting them to go this direction. now that they finally are it seems like they're embracing the show's roots in a way. if done right, this could really rejuvenate the show.

i've always thought it would call to see everyone's reactions to finding out about dex's dark passenger. looks like we might get that next season...or in the last season.

why didnt deb put 2 and 2 together when dexter "fell off his boat" and swam to shore the same night that the ring of fire was seen in the ocean in the middle of the night? It never even crossed her mind.
Then, the fact that dexter sets ddk up in a hotel room, gets him a cell phone, and then calls/texts/and video messages him?
Didnt dexter ever think that phone might be found by police? how would he explain that one?

i guess he didnt worry about that because he knew the writers would just ignore it all.

in real life-- that shit never would happen. he leaves a lot of shit and does a lot of stuff that no normal person would get away with. all the breaking and entering into peoples homes for clues and proof?

another thing i find interesting is something I was thinking about last night---the beginning of season 1 of this show, they played dexter out as this serial killer who only goes after the "bad" guys, the one the police didnt catch or the that slipped through the court systems. That has gone entirely out of the picture. now he tries to beat the police to it, he kills any "bad guy" before due process; before the police or court system ever get a shot at them. i realize that was a point lost a long time ago, but i just realized it now.

i know its pointless, but just an observation.

personally, my favorite season was the "bay harbor butcher" one. but I actually liked this one too. It was a litte more interesting with the whole religious aspect thrown in.

In the books Deb knows by the 2nd book, but she is never really "excited" for it. She kind of ignores it. Of course I only got to the third book and stopped halfway because of how horrible it was.

Didn't like the Deb in love crap. Thought that was more bizarre then anything. Deb seeing Dexter annoyed me only because they teased it last year. But I'll still watch it. Still want him to get caught for real before it's over, and go through a trial.

And the waiting at the crime scene to enter after Dexter was horrible, considering every other crime scene they show, Dexter shows up late and everyone is doing their thing.

that the neighbour did it.

when quinn spoke to him he was terribly eager to paint dex as an absent husband/father. later when he spoke to dexter he made it a point of telling dex how much hed have to sacrifice for his his kids now rita was dead, just like he himself had to do. it mustve killed him to have pretty little rita living next door alone night after night while dex was off killing people and working and rita so devoted to her husband(even tho they kissed). where is his wife anyway??? did she die from disease or in a accident or did she 'just leave'?

my theory was that the neighbour made advances towards rita and she rebuffed him and in a fit of anger/jealously he killed her. but if that was the case thered have been evidence of more violence than a simple cut to her femoral artery. tho maybe he smothered her and cause they all think she died of exsanguination they didnt bother to check her eyeballs for petechial haemorrhaging. she looked so peaceful just lying there in her bath of blood. i might of missed it but was there any discussion about the findings of her autopsy?? any discussion how the killer immobilised her enough so she bled out?

That's a cool name. Keep him away from the knives though.

OK I've just re-watched the first episode of season 6 and I picked up on something I must have missed the first time around, maybe someone can enlighten me......

He goes to all that effort to get a blood sample from the jock guy at the high school reunion, but what dna evidence is he actually comparing it with if the investigators missed the blood under the wife's fingernails?
