[QUOTE=Over-Run;27823812]Actually whats everyones opinion on Quinn? I heard a lot of people don't like him but I actually think hes a pretty good character, considering he knows somethings up and all now.[/QUOTE]
I didn't like him up until season five when he started investigating Dexter.
luman can fuck right off
I thought it was a good season overall. Slow start, but got much better as the main story developed. The ending was a tad weak in my opinion though...

I thought the end was pretty good. The part were [sp] Luman leaves[/sp] was kind of weak but I thought the fact we got to [sp] see a new side of Deb was amazing and I hope we get to see the story develop more with her in season 6[/sp]

the deb thing is so forced though
all her dialogue pertaining to the subject was so corny and obvious (much like most of the season's writing). she might as well come right out and say 'HEY DEXTER I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A SERIAL KILLER SO WHEN I FINALLY FIND OUT I WILL BE OKAY WITH IT' there is absolutely no subtlety or finess with the writing, it's just all so FUCKING RETARDED
there are literally a million things wrong with this season. if i critiqued the entire season i might as well write a thesis on it. and when something has that many problems how the heck can you say it's good in any way shape or form? call it nitpicking but most of them are PRETTY HUGE problems as they fall within WRITING which is the most important thing.

We love you too, Rusty.
at least i give reasons for my opinions
all people who like it can say is 'eh, i didn't think it was too bad. overall i enjoyed it' and give NO REAL EXPLANATION WHY
i'll tell you why it's because nothing was good about it
nothing
tell me something about this season that was legitimately good.

I personally enjoyed Jordan and Lizzy(?) characters and their storylines.
Quinns character development was quite interesting too, completely changed my attitude towards him.
By the way, does anyone know when the next season starts?

You don't seem to get the point, do you? What some people see as bad in the season others see as good. If I was to list what I enjoyed about the season you'd just whine back with your opinions, except you believe your opinion is fact like a egotistical idiot.
i will never understand how people can't see how bad the writing is
then again, even shit like twilight has a fanbase
[editline]5th February 2011[/editline]
i urge you to rewatch season 1 to remind yourself what this show used to be like
No one is disagreeing with you that season 1 was way better than the previous season. The bad writing is there, yes. But you can't seem to get the point that people don't mind it that much and can still allow themselves to enjoy a show while looking past those issues. Not everything has to be inspected with a fucking microscope. This being said it's not like we don't want the season to return to it's original standard. The season was still a lot better in my opinion than most shit on TV nowadays.
S5 was completely pointless.
If I were to rewatch the entire series I could probably skip S5 and not miss a god damned thing.

I can't give you an example of every single part of the series I liked, but an example would be the moments of tension that really define the show, for example, [sp]Dexter rushing to recover Lance Robinson, before staging the gay love affair with Dan The Dentist. [/sp] Loved the pacing here among other moments.
I found S5 really boring compared to the previous ones. And the ending was anti-climatic as hell.

How does anyone here know it's pointless? The next season could evolve on what happened S5. Don't say that stupid "lol nothing happened" shit either because plenty happened.

The next season better be good as hell then.
Is season 5 worth watching? No spoilers please.
[QUOTE=Neolithic v7;27869422]Is season 5 worth watching? No spoilers please.[/QUOTE]
Yes. Don't listen to any idiot saying that nothing happened. Its not the Big Bang Theory, the story is ongoing, stuff that happens in season 5 will probably be one of the main focuses in Season 6.
with season 5's ending, i doubt it matters. literally the entire season could have not happened. he instantly forgot about rita anyway and the kids liked him at the end of s4 and they like him again now.
the only plot, happened during this season, and was resolved at the end of it
literally the entire season IS in fact skippable.

unless lumen comes back in season 6...
haha yeah exactly, even she disappeared
the season was of no consequence

1. He hasn't forgot about Rita. I love how you go on about everything being so obvious when you're missing stuff yourself.
2. Only Cody liked Dexter at the end of S4, as far as I remember. Hence the whole reason they were away most of S5.
3. Quinn is certain about Dexter's acts now, how can you say this is skippable because there's no way S6 will go on without bringing this up between them. If this is the plot you're talking about that was resolved, then no it wasn't.
4. We got to see quite a bit about Debra's feelings towards certain things, again, I doubt S6 will completely ignore what we learned.
5. The main plot with lumen is resolved. Just like any other season, the main plot was resolved at the end. What makes this any different?
anyone who is in a relationship/with another woman less than months after their WIFE WAS MURDERED is pretty messed up, especially after they built dexter up as a man who was dependent on her
and i am pretty sure astor was chill with dexter at the end of s04 she only flipped out and got angsty once rita died
quin was always suspicious of dexter, but now is he not only very very suspicious, but he also doesn't care
the debra thing was ham fisted and will most likely be ignored
the main season's plot was resolved but unlike the other seasons it was wrapped up neatly
all the other plots have had residual effects. rudy turning out to be his brother will forever linger over him, and in season 2 he got caught (kind of), that certainly carried over from s1. he also killed a member of the police department, that carried over. in season 3 he killed, what was he, the mayor? that certainly carried over. the trinity case? that SHOULD have carried over but didn't. rita dying? it did, but only to make way for events that totally ignore her existence altogether.
ur grasping at straws and given the writers the benefit of the doubt when they don't deserve it in the slightest
[QUOTE=Rusty100;27870652]I can't spell but I'm always right. LISTEN TO ME![/QUOTE]
Don't you ever get tired?
Don't you ever get tired of trying to discredit my opinions because of intentional spelling errors and post style? Or will you admit that ambivalence toward the writers is not a substantial argument for it being good? Will you continue using your preconceived love for Dexter and it's earlier season as reason enough to forgive or even totally ignore how bad this season was? Just because it's 'Dexter' doesn't give it free pass to have atrocious writing. I love the show more than anybody but reason 5 was an utter disgrace to it, and even television anywhere (It was like, CSI level writing. Hell, at times it even felt like a soap opera). Or is that too far out of your purview?
[editline]6th February 2011[/editline]
There's no point arguing as to why it was so bad here though, there's a fair chunk of you that are willing to blindly defend the show no matter what. Season 1 was god's gift to television. Season 5 was god's steamy dump on it.
[QUOTE=Jack Trades;27871412]Don't you ever get tired?[/QUOTE]
you are fucking retarded
Season 5 was badly written, boring, and of no consequence to the overarching plot of the series. A retarded monkey could deduce that Season 1, hell, even Season 3 was infinitely better.

There's nothing wrong with Season 5, It even had it's moments while Season 3 was pretty much what Rusty is describing.

Season 3 is by no means the best season, but it was still decent and had a few great moments. Season 5 was depressingly formulaic and really fucking badly written. Remember that scene where Astor lays the table for rita EVEN THOUGH SHE'S DEAD (it's so sad) or when Deb literally states that she doesn't feel bad when killing people (a plot point which is never brought up again). These scenes basically show that the writers can't do subtlety, and when they do try it comes across as cliché and boring.

Nothing happened lol. And if they barely follow up on the events of season four, what makes you think the bullshit that happened in season five has anything left to be touched upon?
