Yeah its a no brainer that kissing Rita is a piece of shit move but besides that I feel like he was a genuine guy. From his pov Rita was a struggling Mom with a husband who was never around and who lets be honest treated her pretty badly. In the scene in season 5 where hes helping Dexter move what’d think? He was almost being condescending to Dex but I also feel like he was just trying to give good advice but went about it in the wrong way?
Didn't take too long to make hope you guys love it
Dexter had a pretty good job. He could probably afford to get her a cheap vehicle. Instead he gave her some big low rider from the police impound. I always thought that was odd.
Young dexter is sitting in his forensics lab and we get a shot of someone walking inside but it’s only there legs you watch them get on the elevator and walk to Laguerta and you hear three words “surprise mother fucka”*cut to black
Or didn't worry about needle sharing diseases, because, well, you know.
Thank you for the suggestion Lundy 🫡

Hello motherfuckers, friendly neighbourhood mod here!
Just to let you all know - we are training new mods, so you might notice things working a little differently. Thank you to everyone who applied, whether you got through or not.
Please bear with us while we get the trainee mods up to speed, and you can always message modmail if you have any questions or comments.
Looking forward - we will be taking the subreddit into manual approval mode before "Original Sin" episodes air, but we'll be looking to do live episode discussions and post episode discussions megathreads.
Let us know if you have any suggestions or feedback.
I’ve seen complaints of predictable Travis/Gellar plot twist, and that people didn’t like the religious themes.
I don’t feel like religion is being shoved down your throat at all or anything. As a diagnosed sociopath I’ve often had the same curiosities about religion as Dexter. Especially if I come across a genuine religious person, like Brother Sam. I end up coming to the same conclusion as Dexter mostly but it’s not unrealistic for him to be intrigued by it or anything.
Brother Sam is an amazing character. Perfectly cast and a great foil for Dexter’s worldview. His presence gives Dexter a rare chance to explore moral and spiritual questions without feeling forced or overly preachy.
While the Travis/Gellar twist may have been predictable to some, the journey still felt engaging. The contrast between faith-driven fanaticism and genuine belief added depth, making season 6 more thought-provoking than it’s often given credit for. Plus, the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and inner conflict resonate deeply with Dexter’s journey.
Sure, it’s not the best season, but the hate feels overblown. thoughts?
Ok, so follow me through. Miami has sea turtles. And amongst many things, what kills sea turtles? Water polution. And Dexter does that all the time, man. He polutes the water. And it's not just the trash bags. What about that doll head he threw? Imagine if a turtles eats that.
Plus, there's also when he was a kid and was killing animals. Maybe he killed a turtle back then.

Dexter really has a thing for blondes.

Anybody see the relation between Maze and Dexter. They both are so convinced that they don’t have any emotions and yet they constantly display emotional intelligence to a certain degree. Dexter claims to not have feelings for anyone but if anyone messes with his family or friends he goes full hunting mode. Same thing with Maze, she asks God to give her a soul, but doesn’t understand that she has had one all along. She also loves Trixie like a little sister.
me personally whenever i hear the sweet escape by gwen stefani i always think of dexter idk why
What do you want to see? An issue with a prequel type show tends to be not just knowing who lives or dies or what happens. It's also about knowing their traits and personalities. Origins should make us reconsider what we thought we know. This shouldn't just be Dexters origin. I want to be surprised. We know these characters mostly from Dexters eyes. What about finding out there secrets as well. Stuff that stayed buried in there lives. Maybe we will learn that one of them is a serial killer that was under Dexters nose the whole time. Just like he was. Something he learns in resurrection. That is probably an unrealistic and extreme example but possibly something along those lines.
I've watched the original series a number of times and watched NB when it aired but this was my first rewatch of it.
I noticed I wasn't as hooked on it as I was the original series. Even as I rewatch the original, I can practically quote it at this point, but I still felt like I always wanted to watch one more episode. With NB, I really didn't feel like it hooked me in that way.
I think the main reason for that is the pacing and shortened episode order. I understand they had to establish Dexter's and Harrison's relationship but it came at a cost of the serial killer drama. Dexter never seemed to be in any danger until the very end. Once he figured out Kurt was killing people, he killed him in about 2 episodes. The average NB episode just didn't leave me wanting more.
I also thought the use of licensed music felt off. The music in the original was so unique, it gave the whole show it's own persona. The music in NB made it feel a lot more generic.
Overall, it's a solid show. The dialogue wasn't as cheesy as some of the later seasons, decent acting (I loved Deb in NB), and Kurt was a great villain. I wish they stretched out the cat and mouse game between Dexter and Kurt so it didn't feel as rushed at the end.
I think my season rankings are: 1, 4, 2, 3, 5, 7, NB, 8, 6
1x12.
The beginning of the episode where Brian has Deb kidnapped on the boat. Even though Deb is terrified, she gives off horror movie scream queen vibes with her makeup all messed up from her tears.
Then when Brian rolls out the surgical supplies and Deb is just “oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.” And then Brian tries to reassure her by letting her know he is “just checking supplies”. Like that is going to make her feel better.
It’s one of those scenes I could never help but giggle at.
I really like New Blood (apart from the rushed ending and the maybe not so great casting of Harrison), so I'm focusing on the original seasons here.
Everyone in this picture is ded except - Batista The Goat
Assuming that Dexter actually d!ed in New Blood.
Anyone have a better quality version of this?
I think the evidence will frame her just the way it did Doakes and Dexter will get off. Reasons: she has the weapon that Harrison used, it can be used to say she tried to frame Dexter for Logans death.
i liked rita the most i think she was the best for him as she was the good that negated his bad and i also liked hannah because she understood dexter and didn't stop him from killing, he never had to truly hide who he was from her and she loved harrison like he was her own. lumen was a nice love interest but imo she was too similar to rita.
who do you think was the most disturbing and unsettling antagonist of dexter, for me its probably Jordan Chase and his "friends" (if youll call them that) who were hunted by dexter and lumen.
It’s my first time watching, I just started S8 E9 and it doesn’t seem to tie up any loose ends, just doesn’t give like the story is wrapping up?
I don’t mind the dip in quality for the mid seasons and I’m very much enjoying it all. But Dexter isn’t getting over his addiction for killing, doesn’t feel like anyone’s about to catch him? I know about the reboot season so I know he doesn’t die (even though I think that would be an awesome full circle end to the story)
So did it get cancelled or something? Was it known to be the final season when it was aired? Why was there no finale gravity?
Dexter Resurrection plot?
So I was watching the trailer for original sin and I’m pretty sure it confirms that Angela is saving Dexter by driving him to the emergency. But one thing I keep seeing everyone say is that he’s going to court or escaping in some way which to a degree is really the two only options he has. I think he can create a strong enough theory him self especially if ppl like him cause of the lives he saved that he can win the court battle. But besides that at the end of NB Harrison shoots Dexter with a rifle right? Angela says to Harrison to escape and run away to never come back as she cares for him, which actually leaves a bit of a plot hole if u think about it who will she say shot Dexter? When he’s go to the emergency room they will know based off the bullet that it was a specific category of gun. She her self wouldn’t shoot Dexter well not Atleast with a rifle? Any theory’s on that I think that’s something everyone is overlooking. I also think there’s no way he’s getting a manhunt in season 1 of Dexter resurrection if they do multiple seasons cause his face would be posted everywhere. But I’m also positive that at this moment before the show comes out they have enough evidence against him then he does to get out of it. Need some good logical theory’s I don’t think there’s many ways they can start the new show off tbh
