You are 100% correct. For me, it made no sense for Marco to do that, no matter how you look at it. The guy has a bomb strapped to his chest, he's not going to just shoot Daniel Frye himself if he gets the gun? But I suppose Marco didn't care about Frye, so what does it matter to him?

@avclub-f70fed7d681f918c8f4a492c21e5f704:disqus Internet anonymity is no excuse for being a dick to someone because they disagree with you. I appreciate that you've kept it civil, as well. It's pretty rare on the Internet for people not to name call.

@avclub-f70fed7d681f918c8f4a492c21e5f704:disqus I grant your point about the car blowing up. In fact, I agreed, so I didn't see any sense in arguing against it, because I think you're right. I'm happy to make that more explicit to you, I apologize that it didn't come across that way.

They established that Walt's relationship with his mother is frosty, and that Skylar's is considerably worse. Also, Walt hadn't even told his mother he was sick, so clearly there wasn't a close relationship there to begin with. So how is it certain she was going to speak with her mother-in-law eventually?

So you're saying it's a plothole that Walt left himself vulnerable to exposure, and then was caught when the whole scheme blew up in his face? Wouldn't it be worse if he poorly planned everything and then didn't get caught and everything worked out for him in the end? That would certainly be a more Dexter way of…

@avclub-a58fdc4e008c823e6a40f2d66955ec16:disqus Soderquist's partner's name is Ramirez. Don't ask me how or why I know that, but I do.

She thinks Masuka is awesome. And THAT is the biggest logical leap of the entire series.

I'm pretty sure last week Dexter pretended to care that Harrison had stitches, but I don't want to go back and look.

Sorry I missed the thread last week. Started a new job and didn't have time for Dexter, unfortunately. But now that I'm settled in, I can join you for more of the wonderful
world of Miami Metro!

2 wildly different observations:

You forgot the part where before taking a dump, Quinn did a few lines of coke off the toilet tank.

Dexter is one day away from retirement from the Miami Metro Homicide (Committing) Division, but he's going back for one last score to settle all debts. I think he needs to watch his back, because Mendoza might show up to take him out.

What will the hurricane do to Papa's? Will it decimate the lovely beachfront where Jamie had her birthday picnic? That's dramatic tension right there

I take it you didn't hear he's hammering out a deal with Showtime for a Dexter spinoff. Presumably about Jamie and Quinn's trials and tribulations as a May-December interracial married couple raising some other asshole's kid.

Dexter just thinks Argentina is a nation of Jamies, willing to watch his child 24/7 for little to no pay.

Dexter is coping with the loss of his serial killing mentee/guy he knew for about a week, Zach. Hannah knows how much Zach meant to him, although Dexter never demonstrated that by treating him like shit and also trying to kill him. But Dexter and Zach were close, because that's what the script says, so we're just…

This remains the greatest moment in Dexter history. "By the way, I wouldn't touch the nozzle of that hose."

The best part of this all is that Dexter killed a famous motivational speaker and a prominent District Attorney who was constantly in the news, and no one investigated these disappearances or particularly cared that they disappeared.

The show revolves entirely around the goings-on at Papa's. I mean, we learned last week that you can have a birthday picnic on the beach outside!

Quinn definitely tried to frame Zach. How he pulled it off, I have no idea. But it honestly doesn't make sense for anyone else to have done that. Which is why I've changed my mind, and Quinn didn't do it.
