Can someone explain the end. It all happened so fast. Why would he leave like that

I know by the title of the post your probably thinking "wtf are you talking about".

I always had wished that Dexter had a season where a bunch of serial killers would be on a murder spree killing eachother trying to prove who's the best serial killer etc.

I always found it weird that there were so much serial killers in Dexter but they barely had any interactions with eachother other than making name references it felt quite lame tbh.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not gonna sit here and say that NB was like some hidden gem of television or underrated masterpiece

It had some noticeable flaws, the most major one being the length and at times dismal pacing. There's quite a few eps with palpable dead time and padding.

As a whole though, I think this was inarguably a better made and better produced season of TV than like, the majority of the OG Dexter seasons.

As I said , im a longtime franchise fan but even I'll be the first to admit that there's far far more bad than good over the show's original 8 season run. A few of the seasons are borderline unwatchable.

I found NB to generally be much more focused, satisfying and logically written than many seasons of the og show, particularly notably bad seasons like 5 and 8. I don't think you can straight facedly sit there and tell me new blood was a worse season of tv in any way, shape or form than the abortion that was Dexter season 8.

I understand the gripes people have about NB's vastly different tone and removal of some of the quirkier aspects of the OG show, but I dunno. For me I totally appreciated and bought into NB's grim dark and elegiac feel.

I also think NB did (or at least attempted) something that the og series always miserably failed at - actually portray the gravity and horrible nature of Dexter's crimes and actions. The original series post season 4 never quite had the writing chops or inclination to effectively explore what a complex and flawed character Dexter was

NB made a very respectable attempt to right some of the wrongs of Dexter's second half, and ultimately for me it was a cinematic and very well made season of TV with a much, much better ending than the disastrous og series finale.

I know it has always been a popular fan theory that Matthews knew about Dexter so I'm curious of that could possibly be confirmed in this series or something similar...

Ray is hired to kill Dexter Morgan by the leader of a gang (Dexter killed one of their members). Dexter is interested in a new victim and does not know Ray is after him.

They are both limited to Sydney, Australia at the time (Ray's home terf) but Dexter has access to all of his supplies and even all his lab equipment. Dexter basically has all of his resources except Miami homicide and all the people that come with it. It is just him no Rita or Harrison and it is S3 Dexter.

Ray cannot bring along any of his pals to help (Dave, Gary, etc.) and still has to look out for his family. He only has access to his weapons and other supplies. He still has places where he can get his supplies but he cannot employ anyone to help him.

Who would win?

(Once Dexter finds out about Ray he want to kill him)

For those that watched new blood, y’all obviously saw the state we last saw dexter in. What are some fun ideas y’all have as to how he isn’t just completely d*3d or caught?

There are many theories about who knew about Dexter, and did nothing about it. In the Brazilian Dexter community, there are those who even say that Lundy knew about Dexter (although I disagree, Lundy seemed like someone with inviolable morals and great determination to capture his targets. If he knew about Dexter, no matter what, he would definitely arrest him, and obviously, he wouldn't let someone innocent take the blame., as was the case with Doakers. The show does a good job of making us think that deep down Lundy knows, but definitely, Dexter hid his guilt well). Anyway, who actually had a chance to know and never did anything about it. Joey Quinn is obviously the case.

• Joey knew that Stan Liddy was still investigating Dexter, and he also knew, upon receiving the call, who he had probably caught.So when Liddy turned up dead, obviously Joey would know exactly who did it. He had received photos of Dexter's suspicious activity, and knew that Dexter was probably the only one with Liddy before his death. And yet, he just never did anything.

We can say that he didn't want to harm Dexter, because of Deb, but it was obvious that he knew, or at least had reasons to suspect. Unlike many characters, Quinn's morals are extremely malleable, so doing nothing in this situation, especially after Dexter frees him, makes sense to him. But there is no doubt that he knew.

But ok, let's assume he was an idiot and didn't connect one thing to the other.

• Oliver Saxon's death was certainly confirmation. You see, Dexter acted, in a way that no one, who had never had practice, and lived as he supposedly lived, could do what he did.By the way, can you see yourself killing someone with a PEN? Quinn definitely covered for Dexter there. If he had any doubts, that was probably confirmation.

Aside from Quinn, we know who knew. But the one who definitely had enough evidence to know was Batista.

It's understandable that Batista didn't connect the dots when Dexter killed Oliver Saxon with the pen. Deb was in a bad shape, and everyone there wanted to finish off Oliver. Anger makes people They forget about morals sometimes. But Batista had Laguerta's complete investigation with him. I imagine he had some degree of distrust, or started to do so, but forgot about it, when Dexter supposedly died. Mind you, Batista still had all of Laguerta's investigation with him! At some point, he must have thought again about the Bay Harbor Butcher. No wonder, when the detective told him again about Dexter, he pretty much connected the dots quickly. Soon, Batista on some level, knew too, or had his suspicions

Might be the biggest "Hear me out" but I don't think it's too big of a reach. Me, like other people think that it's definitely a possibility that Harrison lied about Hannah's death in NB. And I think that Lumen's story ended so abruptly as a good chatecter that she's a great person to bring back as an ally for Dexter. Therefore, I think that Resurrection will have those two in a complicated relationship with Dexter (like in the hunger games)

What do you think and who do you hope is brought back in Resurrection?

Yall this episode is off its fucking head. First Travis painting that goofy painting had me DYING like that was truly the funniest shit i've ever seen and now i have resurrected just to DIE AGAIN AT THIS WEIRDEST MOST UNCOMFORTABLE CHINESE TAKE-IN SCENE WITH DEXTER AND DEB WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS HAPPENING.

The close ups of Dexter's mouth and their hands, the way they have him sitting looking like he's about to kiss her after the therapist said That (I don't even disagree but it's sooo weird to execute like this please no) WHAT IS THIS PLOT THIS SHOW WAS SO GOOD UNTIL THE END OF S5 😭😭

I said it

It was amazing to watch it to be honest. I'm starting New Blood now and idk what I will do after... Regardless it is one of my favorite shows. One thing I didn't really understand is why the ending is hated? I read it was because Dexter left his son and Hanah but I'm just curious.

I just finished season 8 and I can’t get over the fact Rita’s kids were killed off. It’s crazy to me how they basically killed off Astor and Cody past season 4. It showed that Dexter really didn’t care about his step kids after Rita died and only for Harrison. They barely had them in any other episodes in 4-8 and I’m assuming they won’t be in New Blood or Resurrection. Why did the writers choose to do this I think it would’ve been a better plot to show Dexter truly caring for the kids even if they aren’t his real kids.

I wonder if Doakes had his suspicions of Brian, he couldn’t read of Brian like he did Dex, I would assume two reasons:

1 - Brian’s much more skilled at hiding it

2 - Hasn’t spent enough time around Brian like he did Dex.

What do you guys think?

WHY THE FUUUUUUUUUUUCK DID IT END LIKE THAT 😡

He’s easily my favorite villain of the show currently

Hi guys, Do you think Lundy knew Dexter was the BHB? I mean he even felt Trinitiys presence by walking past him. (Please no Spoilers past Season 6)

I haven’t read the books (yet), but know that Dex wears a silk mask in them. I have both theories as to why and questions. Please school me!

In the books, does the silk mask serve as:

1. A way to ensure his hair doesn’t end up at a crime scene
2. A blood spray barrier
3. A was to disguise his facial features
4. Some of the above (if so, which?)
5. All of the above

Silk (or any woven material, for that matter) seems a little too permeable to be an effective blood spatter barrier, which is why I’m inclined to think the silk mask acted as a hairnet and/or disguise…but I’m no serial killer 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also: In the books, does Dex wear a plastic face shield when he’s in a kill room?

Also also: Do we ever see Dex wear a silk mask in the show? I remember him wearing a black ski mask during the S4 Neighborhood Watch episode, but that was just so his neighbors wouldn’t ID him.

Anyway, thanks for any and all input!

Do I see plastic sheets in your future

Do we think Trinity told Rita about dexters proclivities before he killed her?? I.E. did Rita know he was the Bay Harbor Butcher in her final moments? She had a sullen expression on her face in the tub, but i mean we would all be pretty sad bleeding out. What do u think?

Tbh I was really surprised dexter didn’t have an internal monologue at least once mulling over this possibility.

I can't believe some of yall went 10 years with having NOTHING but the s8 finale. I can't believe jesus wth happened

was watching 2x11 and just realized his boat is called the slice of life
