This was Parrish's best episode by far, and perversely enough, I have to give most of the credit to the scene where he spells it out clearly: he knows he's going to commit an unforgivable crime, and he knows that the guy who actually commits that crime can't survive, regardless of whether it turns out to have been the…

I think they did too. I kept waiting all season for her ability to shut off certain senses while using others to be leveraged as an advantage - or at least as significant mitigation of her disadvantages - and it never happened. I was bummed.

Putting her anywhere near a sci-fi/fantasy show almost invariably typecasts her, because sci-fi/fantasy does not have a lot of love for homely, talentless, boring women - which is basically what you'd have cast her as to totally avoid the typecasting problems.

We already know that Nina's ability doesn't work on him because of his "wiring," but it's also interesting that her ability seems to require eye contact. Photostim seems to hit those two same notes: visual information via light flashes that affects the brain.

I'm right there with you. The only thing I can think of - and it's very weak - is that maybe it would mitigate the risk of transfer onto the boss or anyone else. Still, that's super weak, because they were REALLY close, and a 9mm is not a .22.

Lumen's whole backstory and justification for wanting revenge made her a wet blanket type. Hannah strikes me as having been (and possibly still wishing she were) a white-trash wild-child thrillseeking bandita without any conscience to speak of.

I was more pissed that she was going to throw away the old stuff rather than donate it (although the stuff that smells like pee is maybe an exception.) I mean, shit, I'm one of the laziest motherfuckers I know, and even I wouldn't just throw that stuff away. Fuck.

As a public defender, it gives me absolutely no joy to tell you that a lot of people say extremely incriminating things during interrogations, and usually it doesn't even require nearly as much setup as is traditionally plotted out in cop shows.

I would've strongly preferred that Dexter had somehow managed to fuck up the Speltzer case without anybody being able to trace it back to him, rather than it just getting fucked up on its own.

Done and done.

It wasn't the best line of the night, but it's little things like that that show the writers actually give a shit. Or fool me into thinking they do. Either way, good job, writers, and good job, actor!
