I fully support the comparison between Scott Buck and Mussolini, even if you didn't mean it that way.

Because, after 8 seasons, they decided that both Ghost Harry and his voiceover were separate, sentient beings who could choose to up and leave Dexter when the time was right. For Harry, it was when Dexter lost his urge to kill. For the voiceover, it was apparently when Dexter decided he wanted to drive a truck of logs.

Angel's pronunciation of his daughter's name, Audi, is burned into my brain, right next to him saying "tableau" and talking about "la pasion!"

I wouldn't say he was pissed so much as mildly inconvenienced that he had to yet again clean up after Quinn.

The question is - was it just one shirt that he wore all the time, or did he have multiple murder shirts that he rotated? Because I didn't see any of Vogel's blood from last week's episode on it this week. Maybe he just has a great dry cleaner?

Nice redundancy, Scott Buck.

To be fair, his final murder could have been Deb, depending on how you view things, in the middle of a hospital ICU, where he unhooked her machines and she flatlined, then wheeled her out into a parking lot full of people to his awaiting boat but no one noticed him doing any of this.

Much like this show spun in the toilet before going down.

I'm in for this. We could transport the entire cast of Miami Metro to Saskatchewan and make them lumberjacks without ever explaining how or why this happened.

I saw some mentions of dangling plot threads already, and I think we should put them all in one convenient, handy place. Call it the Dangling Threads Thread. So far, we have:

She showed up to stand vigil at the hospital for Deb, despite hating her for stealing Quinn away and calling her a fucking whore the last time she saw her. She was really just there to watch Harrison.

Might be the worst episode of television I've ever seen. Oh holy shit, that was so fucking bad. I laughed heartily throughout it. America's #1 comedy right here.

"He activated the dead man's switch." But then when he took the bomb vest off, people let their guards down. The bomb was only about 10 feet away, it would still kill both of them and blow the bridge. Unless somehow taking the vest off deactivated the bomb.

Completely agree. I felt like having Tate bring that up in the midst of trying to tell Marco to shoot Frye was just a way of saying, "Hey, we didn't forget about the political motivations the Beast supposedly had!"

In unrelated unresolved questions, what is the nature of the relationship between Marco and Fausto Galvan? Was it just that their fathers came up in the cartel together? And why did Marco have all that money that belonged to Fausto?

I was more referencing when Tate suggested that Marco should shoot Frye because the money he's spent on drugs went to financing the cartels that commit the crimes that make Marco's job so difficult. It should be enough that killing Frye could buy Gus's life back; the fact that Tate felt the need to give an anti-drug…

Been going back through the old Dexter reviews, for the memories. I completely forgot Todd said this in the comments to one of the season 4 reviews:

I really didn't care for this episode. Maybe I missed something or it was because I was tired, but the more plausible explanation is that the whole David Tate story line was just a big miss for me. His half-assed attempt to tie what he did to his original motive of shining a light on border relations fell incredibly…

Did anyone else just find the whole Snoop Dogg cameo plain old distracting? Maybe it's just me, but I don't like it when a show brings on someone famous to play themselves, for the most part, the exception being when they play a cartoonishly over-the-top version of themselves (see: Carl Weathers). It seemed like it…

Loved the episode. Any episode with not 1, but 2, original Charlie compositions will always get an A from me. The man just gets keyboards, you know, they just make sense to him. And apparently harmonicas do too.  Also was probably too pleased at the callback to one of my favorite Frank jokes of the past – the Paddy’s…
