Pretty sure Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter are divorced because she let him walk the red carpet with that hat on.Please don't read this if you are behind on "Dexter".
Will someone please explain to me Lewis' character and give me your theories about what will happen with him in season seven? He mailed the ice truck killer hand to Dexter and Travis Marshall found the hand at Dexter's (I was taking notes for the blog got confused need to rewatch, huge stud that I am) Bottom line I got a little lost here and maybe I'm supposed to be because Masuka's offer to "get him a little consulting work to keep his dick wet" will keep Lewis around for season 7 as well. Let's see what happens there.
When is Michael Anderson going to start killing people and or sleep with Deb? I feel like his character needs to be developed way more. Not nearly enough screen time, zero back story, he's an enigma and I know that's not an accident. Something awesome will happen with him or he will disappear I'm pulling for the former.
I will now tackle the elephant in the room; the biting sexual tension between Dexter and Deb and how uncomfortable it made America. I mean the scene where Deb said, "I love you" and he actually responded was creepy. I tell my sister I love her all the time, usually via text or after she buys me stuff (jk Kat) but in our family expressions of love for one another are normal and I'm not a serial killer yet. I actually thought Deb was going to lay it all on the line in the office when she said she needed to talk to Dexter, and to be honest with you I wouldn't hate it if he responded positively. I am a huge supporter every time "Dexter" pushes the envelope. I loved it when Rita got killed, I loved it when Doakes got killed, and I loved it tonight when Deb watched Dexter plunge the knife into Travis Marshall. I love a good cliff hanger and tonight certainly was up to par.
I'm going to take a minute to discuss how annoying the "scenes from next week" and endless spoiler-laden promos have become. I go out of my way to shut the TV off before seeing "scenes from next week" on anything especially with a show like "Dexter". This week I was bombarded with a promo before the finale aired that showed Travis Marshall on the roof with Harrison. This revealed to me exactly what would happen and in turn made the first twenty minutes of the show boring. I liked how Dexter killed the random extortionist/murderer/thief/illegal immigrant trafficker on the boat then swam to shore, that was bad ass, but even so I knew he was just on his way to the rooftop and I don't really see the validity in showing us that. Who are these people who need a taste of next week's episode? Just be patient and let the show shock you like its intended to.
One more thing I will touch on is how awesome the dialogue was as Dexter readied himself to kill Travis Marshall. I have been waiting for Colin Hanks to get iced since the minute he walked on screen in the first episode. I find him smarmy and annoying and without Forrest Gump he'd be hosting at a restaurant in West Hollywood (not that there's anything wrong with that) I don't like Colin Hanks in anything but I must admit he nailed that closing scene. He does play the role of hypnotized Jesus freak very well. When he said, "No one is innocent" and "God allowed his son to die." I was glued to the screen. I like to think that somehow I knew something big was about to happen, but when I watched Deb round the corner I was blown away and completely surprised. Where they will go with that and how Dexter will spin it is beyond me, I have no idea how that scenario is fixable. I think that is what makes "Dexter" such a great show. The fact that as of November 18th Showtime signed off on at least two more seasons of "Dexter" is another genius move on David Nevins' part. Season seven is going to be fantastic, you heard it here first.
"Dad what was it like working with Meg Ryan AND Julia Roberts?"
Yeah as unremarkable as this season was, those last 5 minutes were amazing. Like you said, everything in this scene was very good. "I am a father, a son, a serial killer" was icy as hell. That Lewis shit was odd but good and I'm glad theyre setting up next season instead of just starting next year with some new killer out of nowhere. But the big moment was obviously Deb seeing Dexter kill, which seems like the last place for this show to go and I cant wait to see what comes of it. Great cliffhanger
