But there is a crisis, or there would be if the writers even understood what they were doing.  Travis is truly insane. He does not know right from wrong. He has had a break with reality.  How can he have the moral culpability to be killed by Dexter, when all the other people knew what they were doing was wrong but…

The eyeroll was like your college team getting eliminated from bowl contention, but Marcus's ongoing excitement was like parlaying your senior year stats into a second-round draft pick after an awesome combine performance.

Duh! It was Jesus who gave him the car! What better way to lift jealousy out of your heart than by giving you the object of your jealousy.

I thought it was a pretty subtle way of saying that Dexter is the most incompetent fuck in the department. He is a scientist, in an office, sitting at his desk, and he can't find a pen? Not a single writing instrument within reach at his fucking desk? So he just lets his sister poke around in his bag?

This show used to be about a sexy blood analyst who killed murderers in Miami while eating every amazing thing the city had to offer. We get violence, sex, and random tits still, but what ever happened to the food truck scenes?

I don't get this.  Are you talking about some kind of Internet place?

The double eliminations are less a function of trying to keep the show from getting boring and more about the need to bring extra players into the game because so many people quit. Better to have a "twist" at tribal council than to have to stretch eliminations over two episodes because some crybabies walked out on the…

I'm sure your mother would.

Shorter Whitney: You DISGUST me, boo hoo, I've been vilified as a bully!

If she was a canny social player she would have flipped with Cochran when it would have made her look strong, instead of trying to worm her way in after it is too late, where she looks weak.

Agreed. When he started laughing I struggled to figure out what I was missing. Was his remorse all an act that he felt free to let go of once he realized Brother Sam would never testify against him? Did he snap and go crazy, forgetting that Dexter is not a cop but works with cops?

And when Angel was having sex with LaGuerta, it was really Deb!

Agreed. And disagree with Joshua that the Doomsday Duo "barely did anything" this episode. Colin Hanks let the woman go! His calculus teacher is going to be pissed!

Notice how the notary public never even looks at the escrow documents.

This has been a great season but tonight was the first time since the movie in 1999 that it literally had me in tears of laughter. I gasped for air during the Spiderman scene.

Embrace the soap opera structure full-on? Even before this week they were pretty much dryhumping the soap opera structure.

Must be nice to be so rich that you can afford to roofie your best friend and then not even rape him.

Their attitude was "all this Buddhist stuff is horseshit, but whatever, if they want to believe that stuff it doesn't change what I believe."  I have pretty much the same attitude as them, except that as an atheist I also think their Jesus stuff is horseshit.

If they had more time to make their decision maybe they would have read a rulebook, but they had to hurry up to get on the bus and hurry up to get off.

Marcus also has an accent. Fortunately he's not a total dipshit and asshole like Laurence.
