Dexter S07

[Juked07]

I've mostly been a lurker here but I've enjoyed a lot of great threads, including tv show threads like the GoT thread. Any Dexter fans here? I thought Dexter had gotten pretty boring after the first few seasons but season 7 has been really interesting.

[KoRnholio]

I really like Dexter. S7 is definitely proving to be one of the best seasons. My favourite is still the season with Sgt Doakes and the crazy+hot English chick though.

Seasons 1, 2, and 4 were pretty good. Seasons 3 and 5 kept my attention, season 6 was one of the worst 12 hours of television ever produced, and season 7 is only slightly better than season 6 was.

[IowaSkinsFan]

Season 5 and 6 were so embarassingly bad I had to stop watching the show.

[d0zer]

Yeah it's gone downhill but I'm pot committed to the show so I can't stop watching. The plot of s7 is interesting with deb and all but it's still full of silly ass shit like the maze guy and dexter just being uncharacteristically sloppy.

The new crazy chick is hot as balls tho. I'd let her poison me if u catch my drift.

Other than the odd clip here and there it is not something I have ever watched. Given some of the comments on here maybe I should get the series for Christmas and have a laugh.

[Renton]

LOL how can this season be so bad and yet so entertaining?

[drmcboy]

I'm mostly just watching to see if Quinn will weight < 100 lbs by shows end.

To bump this.

Started watching S1E1 about a month and a half ago, just finished watching S7E10 today. Wasn't that interested in S5 & 6, no where near as good as the first few seasons. S7 seems to be getting back on track, it's not great and some weird bullshit happens but so much more stuff happening now with La Guerta on to him Hannah about to be investigated, his sister wanting to bone him, Quinn and his stripper love, and Isaak was a boss

[rong]

Isaak was cool, they killed him off to soon.

I think this show is written by a third grade special ed class. That said I've been enjoying this season.

[wufwugy]

the show was never on track, it was merely a novel idea with a cool lead actor.

Dexter's an easy show to share. Breaking Bad/The Wire/The Next Thing takes commitment that some don't care to make.

So yeah, and it was well worth it.

[wufwugy]

i dont recall dexter being more episodic than those shows. it's just more accessible to casuals due to novelty and simplicity

but still its a shit show. its authorship is better than something like twd, but dialogue and even character construction is worse, which is very strange for a show that is supposed to be good

lol I agree

I'll have to bump this with the Dexter subreddit which turns out to be one of the funniest places on the internet.

Not a single fan left. Top voted AMA: 'Go fuckyourselves' - technically not a question.

I watched e1 of the new season and gave up. I'm taking the above as evidence this was a good decision.

[d0zer]

I just saw the finale last night and it tilted the shit out of me

I love how the suscribers says 40K lumberjacks following this thread.

[oskar]

They changed the up and downvote buttons to axes XD

[bigred]

Seriously though. Him getting caught, them escaping to Argentina, Hannah getting the axe from Vogel's son and Dexter flipping...all better than this BS. My ideal would be dexter being unveiled to the world after the fact he escaped to Argentina.

Since when does a logical serial killer have a meltdown and throw his entire life away? She took a bullet and had a stroke via complications with surgery. WTF.

[KoRnholio]

So much this.

They could have kept the entire show the same up to the point where Dexter dumps Deb's body. Have him get on the plane to Argentina. Cut to Batista going through some of LaGuerta's files and spotting the evidence she had on Dexter. Flashback of Dexter killing Vogel's son. Batista's jaw drops. Cut to Dexter with Hannah and Harrison in Argentina. Fade out.

Even him just going through with the argentina plan at all woulda been better, but I like yours also. Even him just straight up killing himself woulda been better, and would have made more sense with his supposed inner turmoil resulting from his "human emotions" flooding in, and it's kind of fitting given that's how his dad went out, AND more consistent with his "omg I'm a monster the world's better off without me" shit.

[rong]

I prob shouldn't have read all that. I may have finished the season eventually. Ah well.

[oskar]

I skipped to the last episode. I don't remember when I stopped watching dexter I just remember that the writing got unbelievably terrible, and apparently nothing has changed. This doesn't feel like a professional writer wrote that script. A professional writer has studied literature or journalism, has written articles, been through workshop, has work published. A professional writer will not write a dialogue that goes like:

'I am pointing a gun at you so you have to do as I say'
'I will do what you want me to do, please don't hurt me'
'I will not hurt you if you come with me.'
'If you let me go I won't tell anybody'
'I won't let you go so you don't tell anybody'

Anyone who has seen the last episode can confirm that this is exactly how the scene with the veterenarian went.
There's a term in movies for when you describe to the audience what's happening in the scene while the scene is going on. If someone knows it, please remind me. Anyway, the consensus is that this is bad and you don't do it. In Dexter this is all they ever do.

Laziest fucking writing. The heartbreaking part is how Jennifer Carpenter acts her heart out to the worst TV script ever written. She deserves all the credit. She'll get the part she deserves sooner or later, but what a waste of talent. I sympathize with the rest of the cast. There's a moment when Dexter is at Deb's hospital bed, he sais his line, and right after you can see that all he's thinking is: I cannot believe that that was my line.
