Im on season 5 and omg, every girl in these series is super skinny with a strong face. This makes me think that the casting directors or producers clearly had a type. Has anyone else noticed this?
For my Part I'm gonna ask How all of you will deal with the voices of characters
I usually don't like prequels series because often actors fro the new shows just don't sound the same as the original characters especially with Distinctive voices like Batista's or La guertas
I always wanted this show to end with Dexter finally getting caught, maybe 2 or 3 episodes centered on his trial, with the nation torn in half on whether he deserves criminal punishment or be hailed as a hero. Then he gets sentenced to prison for like 6 or 7 episodes before breaking out for a two-parter finale of him on the run as a fugitive. The final scene is 20 years later in some remote part of the world, perhaps somewhere Latin America or the Canadian wilderness, and we just see a bad person getting ready to kill someone and an aged and grizzled Dexter, barely recognizable with a big bushy beard, just watching from a distance, waiting for his next kill before the credits.
The question is, how would the prison arc go? There are so many scenarios.
The warden is completely anti-Dexter, the guards treat him very harshly, and he spends most of his time in solitary confinement, growing hungrier and hungrier and more desperate to kill. We get ghosts in his head of everyone important who has died in his wake, including Doakes. The isolation drives him mad and makes him want to escape.
The warden believes in fair justice and treats him reasonably, the guards also turn a blind eye to him killing other prisoners he’s locked up with, even throwing him a few toys to use. They treat Dexter like a barn cat getting rid of all the mice.
The warden and guards are totally crooked and eff with Dexter big time, pitting him up against some of the most dangerous killers who want to see him dead, stacking all the cards against him, and placing bets on it for fun. This drives Dexter to escape for his life.
There seem to be a high number of personal relationships in Dexter where the detectives and police can't see what's in front of them - but Debra, in particular, can't see that her two closest relationships (brother and boyfriend/fiance) were with serial killers ... any way you look at it, Dexter is a far better detective!
With them 100% messing with the Timeline and such; I think it’ll be fun to guess what characters might show up in the prequel. I’m also assuming that this will be a multi-season long show.
We've seen Lila and Hannah accept Dexter's dark side but we also know how they ended up but at least they accepted him the way he is without him pretending to be normal, so hypothetically, if Rita were to find out about Dexter's actions would she do the same? Or would she snitch or leave him? She's an inherently good person that wouldn't wish any harm to others and IMO would report him to the police and prioritize people's safety over her love for him, even if he only killed serial killers.
omg that ending 😭 I feel like there’s so much they missed and like what happens after. I know in new blood they probably cover it idk, i might start that today but like i wanna know what happens with hannah and harrison, why dexter put deb in the ocean? I guess I can kinda see it as he viewed her as one of his victims and blamed himself for her death but like no one asked where she went? idk I did like season 8 but there was a bunch of random storylines that didn’t really fit in with the rest of the show before. I did really enjoy the series but it was hard for me to get through season 7 and 8 and took me forever to finish lol. Do you think it would’ve been a better ending if dexter went with hannah and harrison? I feel like they built that up so much this season and then it just didn’t happen
I wanted them to mention Astor and Cody in Dexter: Resurrection. It bothers me how after the fifth season the show simply started treating as if they didn't exist, and that was clearly evident in Dexter: New Blood.
Harrison said that after Hannah died he went into foster care, that he had no one, and so on. But he could have searched for his siblings.
And during Dexter: New Blood, he mentions that he remembers Rita and Deb, but he conveniently doesn't remember Astor and Cody. And Dexter mentions several people from his past to him, but at no point does he mention the siblings his son has.
I find that very strange.
Is it possible, if dexter let himself get trialed he could plead insanity? My take is probably but spend his life in an institution but what's your guys thoughts?
I’m talking after season 2 because after that it became who was going to be this season’s love interest that would cause her to go to Dexter for help.
I know fans love 1-4, but out of those it feels like 3 doesn't quite get as much love. I personally thought the friendship and rivalry between Dex and Miguel was superb.
So I'm just finishing dexter and I was wondering if Debra would have survived by some miracle.
Now I know it's a show so they could either make her Survive or die, but it certainly would have been interesting to see some kind of Recovery from her.
As to the show it's definitely been a Emotional rollercoaster and a beautiful Story I enjoyed every season except for a few smaller unnecessary arcs
But I definitely would say that everyone with access to the show should try it out
As for my Favorite character's it's Hard to say I weirdly enjoyed Quinn so people will probably hate me But Batista and Dexter were Incredible
Favorite villains are definitely
Isaak Sirko and Miguel Prado
Now it's time for New blood
Not exactly related to Dexter but not completely unrelated either… I googled the lyrics but couldn’t get any hits! I would love to know what song the band is singing!
Thanks!
Wow.. R.I.P that mfer lol.. was good till the end and he really didn’t deserve that shit, still in the beginning of ep 12 so I hope that bitch gets the justice for Angel and now Doakes 😞😔
I see potential
It's my crush Birthday and she loves the show very much so i want to make an video edit that contains Dexter saying happy birthday or something and her photos ( it's a very good time to offer ideas, any ideas) 🥲
i can’t stand season 7 i’m fighting for my life watching this mid right now. i hate hannah. it’s like they tried to replicate the allure of lila and failed miserably. and dexter swooning over her is sick i can’t do this. the mafia side plot is boring. issac sirko is boring im just waiting for this season to be over 😒
Wow. It’s sort of insane that a show this good went under my radar for so long. If I had to rank the seasons, it would be: 4 > 1 > 2 > 3 > 7 > 5 > 8 > 6. I almost didn’t watch the later 4 seasons cause people say they aren’t as good as the og four but I’m glad I did. This might be an unpopular opinion but I actually liked S7 and S8 quite a bit. Deb knowing Dexter’s secret and the introduction of Vogel were really interesting writing choices imo.
Random opinions: Deb dying seemed unnecessary but I get what they were going for, Quinn’s “it was obviously self defense” line was perfect in the finale, never really cared for Hannah, the shot of Dexter at the lumber yard and then a fade to black without even a final monologue or anything sucked honestly (a hint towards Dexter being alive still could have been handled way better than that), Sirko was a great character, Season 6 was a hard watch (meh villain, very slow pace, and the amount of Harry talks and inner monologue went way down I think).
Looking forward to New Blood!
