    Young Dexter

    Ubuntu notification sound in Opening Theme

    I'm not sure if this would be the right place for this, but the opening seems to have the exact sample of Ubuntu Question alert and couldn't find anyone else saying the same.

    Need someone to verify if I'm not crazy 😅

    Noticed an example of horrible writing in New Blood

    Angela connected Dex to the Bay Harbour Butcher by saying all the victims had Ketamine in their system just like what Dexter bought from the vet. Dexter never used Ketamine to knock out his victims, he used M99. Just feels like a horrible excuse to kill off Dexter and end the series.

    If Dexter found a killer with the same principles as he does would he kill him

    In other words, would Dexter kill himself?

    Hottest take ever?

    I think new blood is the second best season second to season one. Every thing about it from the camera work to the feel and snow was great. Ending wasn’t perfect but that’s ok, still better than season eights ending. If anyone has a hotter take share it

    What do you think about Doakes and my opinion of him

    I hate Doakes, and like honestly ONLY on the level of him being the antagonist and going against Dexter SO, SO, SO fucking hard. And that’s 100% like “bad” tbh, like Doakes was always just doing his job, he had a bad feeling bout dex off the jump. Like I hated the way he was always such a dick head to Dexter but like if I was in his position I would be too, like no even 4/5ths as aggressive but like I’d stay tf away and warn others to also. Like Dexter is a serial killer, who has no empathy, sympathy, or remorse so the whole “🤨” look and feeling towards him is 1,000% warranted and understandable but it’s so so frustrating because he’s just such a dick

    Unpopular Opinion?

    I think Season 5 gets unnecessary hate. After about my 15th rewatch, I think Season 5 is one of my favorites After Season 1 & 4. And its really the last great season before the show goes downhill.

    I really like Lumen & I really enjoy the whole plot how they hunt down the whole guy friend group 1 by 1.

    can we discuss the possibility of dexter not being a socio/psychopath at all but rather a result of poor guidance from harry?

    honestly thinking that dexter, being young and vulnerable, was manipulated into thinking he's a monster destined to kill when really he's just an awkward guy with a tragic past. whilst he might be a serious liar, he has emotional experiences atypical of a socio/psychopath

    Last episode of Dexter….

    Ok so this was my first rewatch fully in years. And I will still say, even though I love the show. The last episode truly is the worst. It just felt so rushed. The CGI even for 2013/14 was just bad. Trust me there’s no one who loves this show more than me. But god I remember why everyone was in an uproar about it.

    It was so lack luster. The way he quickly killed Deborah off. Threw her in the sea. I just can’t see season 1-5 doing that. I know he went to go hide himself from the world. The last season could have been anything, about him finally getting caught. Literally anything, I didn’t want a happy ending, and tbh I don’t feel like Dexter deserved one either (he gets what he’s due in new blood). But for such a good show for its twists and turns they really screwed the pooch on it. It could have been incredible if the writing was better, they were ending the show it could have been a chance to make it anything they wanted to be. I thought if I rewatch it maybe I’ll change my opinion about the last season/ep. And I’m just as disappointed as I was back when the last episode aired.

    Granted a lot of my opinions have changed on this full rewatch. I used to love Dexter almost as if he was a good person. Actually he was a selfish prick. To everyone. Fake his love for Rita. She dies. Claims he loves deb but actively puts her at risk constantly. Send his son off with a women he literally just is obsessed with physically who tried to kill his sister.

    I don’t know. I love the show but the last 2 episodes of it are a shit show. I will still always love it but it’s just disappointing. Rant over 😂

    Did they just indirectly reveal Christine as Lundy's killer in her very first scene? I never caught this before.

    Harry….

    So, is it just me or does anyone else think Harry kind of created Dexter the serial killer out of Dexter the damaged kid? I think if he’d have gotten him some therapy rather than facilitating and nurturing the killer inside him… maybe, just maybe, Dexter may have had a chance of a ‘normal’ life??

    Debra

    Does anyone else also find Debra super annoying? I just can’t stand her. She’s way too emotional and her character is just all over the place. She lashes out at Dexter about their dad and it just comes off as selfish.

    Everytime she’s in a scene she’s either emotional and screwing smth up.

    Am I the only one who really dislikes deb?

    On S5E9 rn and I for the life of me can still not like deb. She is the worst character in the show every time she speaks literally pisses me off and I don’t know why, I kind of know why but you know I was just wondering if anyone else felt the same lol

    S6e01 not liking it

    Very sloppy writing in this episode. 1 liners to explain huge things that they've changed. They wanted Laguerta as captain and single so Matthew has a one liner about divorce. They wanted a bigger set for Dexter so they have a 1 liner about him buying the apartment

    Just seems like lazy writing to me

    New blood rant

    I really don’t like the ending it seemed really rushed.

    The one thing that really bothered me was the fact that Angel believed in one second that Dexter was BHB. Like this is a Man U known for like 12 years and some random bitch just convinced u that Dexter is BHB ANNNDDD killed Maria a fact that’s not even true. I feel like Angel at least would question it or the source of it.

    I feel like he would try to come up whit a reasonable explanation for everything before jumping to the conclusion that Dexter is guilty.

    Is this just me who thinks like this?

    Question about Masuka

    I’m on season 2 and to be honest I hate Masuka. I get he’s meant to be the comic relief or whatever but it just makes me feel uncomfortable rather than laugh. I swear every scene is just him trying to get Deb to fuck him. Anyone else super creeped out by him?

    What if Brian was normal?

    I tried searching but couldn't find any past threads about this.

    I'm rewatching and was wondering how it would have gone if Brian was normal and not a murdering sociopath. If Brian was traumized as a child but instead went to a great family and got the therapy he needed. It would've been interesting to see Dexter learning he has a brother and seeing "what could've been" if he also got therapy and didn't have Harry convincing him he was evil.

    I think obviously he would have to end up being murdered one way or another (if not by Dexter by, someone else) but it would've been an interesting perspective. I actually think I would've preferred to see something like this to show rhat Dexter didn't have to turn out the way he did?

    I'd love to know any thoughts or theories on how that would be played out
