Odd, I was able to watch it online.
[QUOTE=kitthehacker;41234793]Do yourself a favour, skip season 5 (it has literally no impact on the rest of the series and isn't very good. Maybe watch the first episode as it resolves a few things from the previous season though) and don't take season 6 seriously at all until the end.
And don't expect season 7 to be as good as the first 4. It's still decent though.[/QUOTE]
Am I the only one who didn't have a problem with season 5? Of course it could never live up to season 4, but by itself I thought it was fine. I actually liked Lumen too. Overall I thought it was pretty solid.
Season 6 for me was weird because it had some of my favorite moments of the whole show and some of the worst moments too. One episode he [sp]kills Nick and it's now one of my favorite scenes, then Brian comes back and the next episode is full of cheesiness and god-awful acting. Bringing back Trinity's family was very interesting, it's a shame Brian ruined the whole episode.[/sp] That's only one of many examples.

Lumen and Dexter had absolutely no chemistry. Their relationship seemed so forced, not to mention how out of character Dexter was for the whole season.

Not to mention that the entire Lumen plot came out of nowhere in the middle of season. Seriously, it could be entirely about Dexter dealing with his loss and with Quinn on his back, but instead they have put yet another subplot that suddenly become a main plot.

This.
Honestly, does nobody remember the Santa Muerte Killers? The season started off with them and made it out like they'd be the main case/villain (if it were to have one), then just brushed it under the rug in favor of Lumen. It's almost offensive how that went absolutely nowhere, one of the killers was still running free (I think the other died? Been a while since I watched the season), and nobody seemed to care once Dexter met Lumen.
Well just watched the premiere, I have a few thoughts:
[sp]I don't like Dexter being impulsive and freaking out. It seems so out of character. I'd understand it if it happened when Laguerta was onto him, but it didn't. It's happening now that "Her death solved all my problems."[/sp]
Don't want to see [sp]Deb all depressed the whole season, but of course we will. I can see her carrying that 8-ball keychain around now.[/sp]
I hope [sp]there's no romantic relationship between Dexter and the psyche analyst lady. I can totally see her being the one cutting out the brains.[/sp]

[sp]Yea, I'm thinking it might turn out that she is turned on by Dexter but Dexter doesn't want anything to do with it perhaps?
I can kinda understand the freaking out, in the past he would freak out whenever he was lacking on kills but so far we know that everything is going dandy. Maybe it's to show just how a strong relationship he has with his sister? and when she's doing this stuff it's making him freak out?[/sp]
[sp]Hannah kills psyche lady[/sp] calling it
I could be looking through fan goggles, but I thought that whole episode was really well laid out, if a bit rushed. Really loved the Dexter/Harrison interactions. [sp]At first I thought that the drawings were by Harrison and he had actually witnessed Briggs' murder, that would've been an interesting subplot. The next episode premiere also looks really interesting. All in all I can see this being a wonderful season until Hannah shows back up.[/sp]
I wasn't a big fan of the first episode, however it was definitely better than season 5-7. However more unlikely things happened. No realism once again.
[sp]The plot is sort of interesting, can't believe the psychologist told Dexter she knew about him that early in the season.[/sp]
And OMFG I'm SO FUCKING SICK of these stupid love interests!
Maybe it's because I hate seeing Michael C Hall with anyone but me.
Oh my god yall said Hannah is back. I hated her and their relationship, am I the only one preferring Lila if he's going to cheat on his dead wife?

This censorship is just obnoxious. And muting half of what Deb says just ruins it.
it was alright

Just grab some [i]linux distros[/i] and be done with that crap.
My thoughts on the premier.
[sp]Was pretty entertaining. I never really liked Deb, so its interesting watching her decline. It seems a little forced how much she suffered from killing Leguerta that she got into doing lots of medication and coke, going from the law abiding police captain or whatever she was. I don't get what's wrong with Dexter though, I mean loosing his shit when the guy cut him off, while supposively all his problems got solved. It was funny when Batista came home, saw her sweaty asked about it, "Just getting some cardio." I wonder if she's going to get caught with Quin, and Batista going to flip shit. [/sp]
Really farfetched theory, but this is what I thought of regarding this season. [sp]So it seems to me that Dexter was possibly a patient of Dr. Vogel, or at least she was in contact with Harry, and suggested the code to him. The other serial killer, who may also be a patient of Vogel, is cutting out the anterior insular cortex was a message directed towards her, like he knows that she had a part to play in his psychopathy. The conversation about Doakes being angry, which is odd for a psychopath, and the scenes where Dex snaps at Harrison and assaults the man who cut him off seem to indicate that Dex isn't at all a psychopath. Maybe he has been brainwashed into this sort of behavior.[/sp]
Didn't like the lack of a proper Dexter kill in that ep.
Should have opened with his monologue about how great his life is, then mentioned how his dark passenger is happy too or something.
Infact, Dexter's serial killing or how often he'd been doing it for the six months in between wasnt even mentioned.
[QUOTE=Frisk;41208299]I think they're made by Dexter as an adult. He's just terrible at drawing.[/QUOTE]
Welp, I was half right. [sp]They were drawn by Dexter[/sp]
Was I the only one who thought the dialogue was terrible at times? The first scene at Laguerta's bench was so heavy-handed, it felt like it was written by a group of middle schoolers.
[QUOTE=ScoobyV2;41258958]I wasn't a big fan of the first episode, however it was definitely better than season 5-7.[/QUOTE]
I'd say the first episode of season 7 was a hell of a lot better than this episode. It was quicker and at least a bit thrilling. It also set up what was going to happen for the season. So far, they haven't really started or established what the central story will be for this one. It's just been cleaning up the end of last season and setting up what might happen.
[sp]fuckingpassword[/sp]
really? :v:
I don't know what to think so far, I wanted to know more about Laguerta's death, after all didn't Deb shoot her with her own department issued fire arm? I was expecting this season to go in a completely different direction than it has, everything seems a bit over the top at the moment.
What? Holy fuck this started last night? I thought it started at the end of July.
This was like the least hyped up season of Dexter ever shit.
This episode was straight awful. I don't know if I understand that correctly, but did they went with version that LaGuerta was killed by that old serial killer? So it didn't matter that Debra shot her, and all that stuff? Jesus.
That neuropsychiatrist plot seems nice, but I expect it to resolve out of the blue in the middle of season, leaving us with bitter taste in our mouth.
The dutch angles were nice, but I hope they won't overuse it.
I liked the episode, glad to see them out of trouble.

What's wrong with that? It changed both Debra and Dexter?

Technically [sp]Dexter would be a sociopath and not a psychopath. I really hope this doctor sees that he's not completely emotionless. Dexter used to always say "I have no feelings, I don't care about anyone." But it's completely untrue. I really hope the doctor sees this, and doesn't just act like he's a normal psychopath.[/sp]

[sp]That's another issue I've got with the later seasons: the fact that they've made Dexter so overly emotional. When it started off he had no feelings, and one of the main themes of the show was that he had to pretend to actually have feelings. He was living two lives: the life of an emotionless serial killer and the life of a geeky forensics expert that no one would suspect. They didn't even do a good job at explaining why he kept getting more and more emotional.
I really hope they bring up the fact that Deb shot LaGuerta with her own gun, because there's no way in hell that that would get past the police. And as I said earlier: Dexter losing control is out of character for him and it seems so forced. I mean, he literally just freaks out at random and there's no clear explanation to why. Sure, he's had minor freak outs before, but all those times he was in some kind of trouble. He isn't in trouble now, everything is going well for him.[/sp]

[sp]His freakouts are being caused by Deb, again making him emotional. I think Dexter started gaining emotions after he realized Harry wasn't right about everything. Before he blindly believed him, and that easily could've led him to believe he had no feelings when he truly did.
As far as Laguerta being shot with her own gun being overlooked, it's possible. Dexter wanted to make it look like they shot each other, it'd be easy for them to assume Estrada was the killer and not pay too close attention to the details. Not to mention Deb was lieutenant, and Dexter is in forensics, they could easily wave off anything anyone found. Deb probably just closed the case instantly.[/sp]
Didn't Dexter say he was going to [sp] Stab LaGuerta then shoot the wound with the guys gun or something? They could have just shot her again in the same place after Deb shot her [/sp]
6 human months : 4 Harrison years.

I solved the season: Masuka's the psychopath. It's why he's covering for Dexter, so that Dexter can kill more guys and take the heat off of Masuka.
[QUOTE=JohanGS;41263128]What's wrong with that? It changed both Debra and Dexter?[/QUOTE]
Changed Dexter? How exactly? Because he joined a bowling team, and is training his son in football? Give me a break. One quick montage doesn't change much. To be honest I don't recall any death that would make a sudden change in Dexter.
As for Debra - well if she will keep taking drugs then I will agree. Right now the only difference was that she quit her job. Which was mentioned once, and everyone magically assumed it was because "LaGuerta mysterious death". It's like on Miami Metro Homicide everyone is an idiot.
[sp]Oh wait, nobody but two persons noticed that their colleague is a serial killer. After more than 8 years.[/sp]
