I don’t mind that they killed Dexter—I just assumed that would happen due to knowing what Clive Phillips wanted the main series to end, originally, which was Dexter being executed.

I am kind of upset with *how* they killed Dexter. Because it was set up that he was finally going to be held accountable for his actions,…

I think having Dexter arrested would have been better. Having Harrison watch everything his dad did over the last couple of episodes really showed how Dexter’s life was sad and self-serving. As others have mentioned, having Harrison kill Dexter did not really end any sort of cycle of violence, if anything, it…

I think there the implication of the Angela arrest scene, that Dex would have killed her if he had an opportunity, was kind of a neat reference to how Doakes died. Although I admit that might be my own mental gymnastics as I always feel that was the episode where the show kind of lost sight of itself.

No I don’t think the casting of the Angels character was an intentional act. But that is my opinion. I keep thinking that the rich oil tycoon is Audrey’s father. The way he interacted with Angela and when he pulled over on the side of the road with Audrey, he wasn’t creepy with her he was more of caring and doing some…

The best part of the episode was seeing Dexter’s angry face as he enters the gym arena after he sees Kurt mentoring, and later hugging Harrison. He looked, convincingly, like he was going to really fuck Caldwell up (likely a sign of things to come). As it’s been the case from the very beginning, I would never watch…

I mean, she’s dating a serial killer with a fake name and a cloudy past. She’s been investigating missing girls for decades without any breakthrough, only to be outdone by a podcaster. She was ready to close the Matt Caldwell case until Kurt stepped in, but now refuses to let it go.

That’s a direction that could’ve been somewhat interesting itself (a crooked cop covering for Dexter or at least having to walk the line between exposing Dexter at the expense of his own corruption)... but yeah, it was a plot point that was basically all but forgotten and not followed up on.

“Hey Dex, a good third of my scenes this season are shots of me looking at incriminating evidence involving you being a murderer, possibly serial killer ...But you got my ass out of the fire for that murder you committed so I’ll let it slide.” Quinn at the end of season 5, basically.

You missed the point. He doesn’t care that either of them is driving a gas-guzzling vehicle. She pretends to care about gas-guzzling vehicles and yet drives one. If she’s going to open her virtue signaling mouth, she should back it up with her actions and expect someone like him to respond appropriately.

how did he cover up all his footprints the night he killed matt and why did he leave his footprints everywhere at the crime scene to frame matt’s story?

I didn’t suspect something was up until the improv guy started antagonizing the Los Xs, just before the shootout and after he said they were hired to look tough. This show has done some weird stuff before, so nothing really triggered my suspicion until that moment.

This was a ride. Wow. I didn’t actually know something was up until Dan himself basically announced something was up, in that rah rah speech in the bar. Then as soon as the shooting started, I just laughed as the bodies started cartoonishly piling up. I admit, I didn’t know Lucifer was behind it (because I have a…

Such a huge laugh at the end when Lucifer reveals he wasn’t trying to bring Dan out of his funk or to teach him some special lesson. He was just doing it all as payback for Dan shooting him.

Also, plenty of people have shot Luci before, and he’s only ever been mildly irritated (“You’ve ruined a perfectly good Burberry” “It’s a good thing the Detective isn’t here or you’d be cleaning my blood out of the carpet”).

I know I shouldn’t think about it too hard, and obviously it will likely never come up in future episodes, but: I can’t imagine Dan not suffering very real, extensive, permanent damage from all of those head hits. I’m no medical expert, so someone correct me otherwise—but like, how can that just be written as a…

I had a feeling that something was being set up when Dan was drinking at the bar with Luis. I commented to my watching buddy that it seemed like a way to blackmail Dan into helping Luis with something shady, and then again when his old improv buddies showed up on the side of the road. It turned out I was thinking WAY…

I consider myself a pretty perceptive viewer but I actually did not see the twist coming at all. Maybe because I was in the throes of a binge fest, I wonder if I had paced my first watch through if I would have caught on earlier.

One thing I did think about after is that I was more accepting of the almost comical…

I think this is the first time in the entire series that someone said “fuck”. It’s been a long time coming.

Mansfield Park is the toughest read. The heroine is almost immobilized by her own sense of morality, creating a lack of forward momentum in the novel.  In order of readability, I would say:

Just remember to stay for the post credit sequence, where Mr Ferrars appears and hints at the larger Austen Cinematic Universe.
