This is true. Deb isn't the brightest tool in the shed. But I mean, when you have the evidence right in front of you, in action. Let me just say, I would be impressed with the writers bullshit abilities if they could have a scene where Deb watches her brother kill, and then Dexter is able to talk his way out of it (or…

On a side note:

This is what I mean! I'm really curious how stupid they will make Deb. I mean, for me this will be a huge factor whether the show can actually recover or not. If they try to make it where Deb really has no idea he's the Bay Harbor Butcher, I'm going to call bullshit.

It did though! Season 3 started off a mess and than had a great run of episodes in the last half that were some of the best. I still think the season 3 finale was the best episode in the series (certainly up there). From here on out seasons 4 and 5 were highly enjoyable.

So I mean, can anyone envision Dexter trying to lie his way out of this one? The guy is a terrible liar. I'm just trying to think of what he will say to Deb. I'm especially curious how dumb the writers will make her. I mean, Dexter is literally using the same material as the Bay Harbor Butcher. The same exact MO (the…

No see I disagree with you there. While it's true Dexter killed Brian at his home, he killed him when the crime scene was no longer active. Compare that to now, where the crime scene needs to be cleared, and people know Dexter is going to be there in the afternoon. There is a big difference between killing someone at…

This made me laugh so hard, because you are right. The more I think about it, the more absurd the scene was. I mean, the guy knew about the secret locations where Gellar was being stashed. Why didn't he use that? They very least he could do. Jesus Christ on a stick!

Yeah, I don't know why I was "let down". How could I be, after season 5 and 6. What did I really expect? But at the same time, I just couldn't help but yell at the TV. The moment the camera cut to Dexter in the church I said: OH NO, YOU MORON! WHY WOULD YOU KILL HIM BACK THERE! IT'S A CRIME SCENE AND PEOPLE KNOW YOU…

The thing that gets me, is that people knew he would be there. I mean, it's reasonable to assume that if it's a crime scene waiting to be cleared, Deb (the boss) would notify others that he is finishing it up later in the afternoon. Hell, wouldn't there be more than one person there too? But even if that wasn't the…

Also, as someone that was pretty vocal about Deb's feelings for Dexter feeling "out of left field", I wanted to comment on that. It's not that I didn't think that her feelings for Dexter were impossible or illogical. It was just that (as you put it Josh), it feels too fast. Just like Dexter becoming best friends and…

They didn't show it, but I assume Deb tried calling Dexter after she saw the shrink, so she could meet him and tell him how she feels. BUT when she couldn't get a hold of him, she assumed he was at the church doing his job like he told her he would.

Let me get this straight. The entire purpose of Dexter's code is to NOT get caught. All of the rules and ideas in this code, are for the very purpose of not landing his ass in jail.

Cut this and the Killing and give Breaking Bad a 13 episode final season (without the break in between).

The Grammys = The Golden Globes? Surely the same people run these things.

Travis aint too bright.

That would be…funny actually. You know, why does AHS have to revolve around just that house? I mean, the series could be an anthology type show. Where each season focuses on a new haunting/location.

I agree with everything Todd said. Maybe it's because the mom's death came so soon close to the daughter's, but I couldn't help but think: really, who else is going to die next?

Great piece Todd,

While I agree with you that Dexter has been making dumb mistakes all along, I feel like these later seasons are beyond ridiculous.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. The show has been unrealistic for some time now, but now they are just waving it in our face.
