Dexter (TV Show) Fans, what'd you think of the final season's premiere?

[Parker]

He's so fucked regardless. It'll be a helluva season. Incredible show. I didn't start watching until 4 years in then I was hooked. I thought the concept sucked when I heard about it but Michael C. Hall hit a fucking homerun on this one.

I liked Dokes, because he reminds me of someone I know...acted just like him.
Maria's character, as much as I liked her, it played out. I wish that somehow they made it so that she backed off of Dex, but still had that lingering doubt.

Seems like Dr.Vogel will be pulling the strings and using Dex and Deb as executioners.

[Ronnie Rep]

There was one drawing of a man on a table with a knife stuck in him and blood as well. And then there was the bloody knife drawing. Now, why would Dexter as a little kid draw a man on a table and him stabbing it unless this was something he mulled over, and subconsciously as an adult this came out.

Now, Harrison on the other hand, unless he got into Dexter's knives, and saw some of the pics that Dexter had laid out from time to time or had on his laptop---which he did see as a kid, then he may piece two and two together.

But, there was a drawing of a dog, and remember Dex had killed a dog...but the only other dog was when Dexter was with the "step kids"---and they had a problem. Maybe it maybe the drawings when that other boy was small, and he knew about what Dexter did.

Which means that there are 3 potential people.

You may be right Parker, it may be a stepbrother or sister who came forward!

I thought the same exact thing about the concept, but Michael C. Hall is great! Did you watch Six Feet Under on HBO! Hall is good in that too! Good actor!

Angel looks like an idiot and his speech impediment pisses me off. Learn how to pronounce the letter "R" n***a.
Maria was good but yes, it was time for her to go.
I have no clue what they plan to do with Quinn.
Debra is beyond fucked, she wont recover.
And Dex....I'm getting my popcorn for this one. lol

Asher is going thru trying times as a teenager, but she doesn't seem like she would have been drawing pics.
Did those drawings look like the work of a girl--the colors, the lack of emotion (tears, hearts, eyes)? I have never seen macabre or morbid pics from kids in real life, but it looked to me to be drawn by a boy. And looked at the family pic, one kid all alone off to the side with a sad type of face. Loneliness, confusion, abandonment? What does that show?

I like Angel---good natured, means well. Has a old fashioned sense of honor, and likes the ladies and a good brawl once in a while. Quinn, he means well, but he is a spoiled rich kid eff up at heart. Always effing up a good thing.

Deb in the real world, she would have been canned a long time ago. Dating a CI who was working for another cop, therefore compromising herself and the other cop. She acted very unprofessional on many levels. And so did Maria, banging that female detective's man just to make her upset and unstable so that she could get the job. A lot of trifling mess that whole dept was.

[Parker]

And that is just the way the person acted. And he was ex-military.
Dokes was funny as hell. "The is something off about you Morgan! I'm on to you!"

In another show, those two could have had a good run. A serial killer with no empathy and lived by a code. A special ops guy who killed many, and wants to put a bullet I everybody's head. Both know martial arts, both have no real feelings towards the people they kill. One has anger issues, and the other is calm as hell. Dex would be a good straight man.

That's what makes the show, none of that shit would fly in the real world!

Doakes was fucking awesome. I loved his in your face Getbig style persona. If he had something to say, he didn't give a fuck, he was saying it. I wish they would have let him stay longer. He was funny as hell.

BTW, if Harrison did draw those pics, there's no doubt in my mind, they will allude to him being a future serial killer like his daddy.

"No, I don't want no damn Donuts! Morgan what the hell is wrong with you? I see your act Morgan, you come in here with Donuts, and try to pretend you're everybody's friend. I see right thru you Morgan. You freak!"
I laughed every time he said something. He and Maria would never have lasted. And he even said it.
Maria was always stopping him from putting a bullet in Dex's head.

"I see you Morgan...I'm watching you"
Dex: "ok, have a nice day...sure you don't want a donut..."

*ad-libbing from what I remember.

That's pretty good Parker. Dex didn't like that shit at all. So we have the Hebrew and the Island Hebrew found out who Dex really was and now they're dead. lol

Yep...but see, Doakes since he had killed people when he was Special Ops, and from what it seemed like, they needed to be killed. I would think that he would understand Dexter killing serial killers, or people that "fell thru the cracks."

And why did the dude that got out on parole look like like a light skinned Huggie Bear or the light skinned dude from Bangbrothers?

[Archer77]

I thought it was decent.  They have been hinting that dexter really isn't a classic psychopath despite what his father believed. He has genuine feelings for his son and sister.  I own every season and have read all the books.  Books aren't very good.

Haven't read the books. So are you saying that this is a rare case where the books are not better than the show/movie? Which coincides with Dexter being a rare case of not fitting the classic profile.
Yeah, he cared for Rita, Cody, Asher, Deb, Harrison

Yes, I can emphatically say the books aren't as good.  The books go in a strange direction.  I won't ruin them for you if you choose to read them.  You could bang one out in a day or two.  Pure popcorn fair.  In the books, Dexter is without a doubt a sociopath.  There is no uncertainty about it at all.

In the show, there is clearly some ambiguity about that. Harry resigned himself to the belief that Dexter was going to be a serial killer instead of getting him help.  Harry nurtured his murderous leanings, essentially creating dexter.  Dexter has said as much in a previous season.

I need to watch full seasons 1 thru 3! I loved Doakes too!

I think Harry as a Miami cop, was tired of seeing criminals get away and thought that Dexter would be a perfect tool, like a gun. Unfeeling, unmoved. The code was of course to keep him out of trouble, but served a purpose of keeping him focused and on a path to kill those that the law couldn't, didn't or wouldn't deal with.

[Army of One]

Deb was snorting coke but wasn't getting banged from behind, just fidgeting.Seems like the woman psychologist is probably behind the brain murder as she is a psychopath herself.

[rooseveltdunn]

feels kinda weird knowing this is the last season....I started watching that show from season 1

She could be...but she seems too "clinical". Meaning, she likes to observe, and have others do the dirty work. She is too frail to physically incapacitate most men, so unless she goes the route of poison...but then she has to drag the body. Too much work and heavy lifting for 60ish yr old woman. So she must have someone do it for her.

I'm gussing she is the sister of the john lithgow character.   it'll be like a morrored thing, with dex/deb and lithgow/new doctor lady.

[Tedim]

Is deb HOT? I'm all confused on this....the face is my stumbling block, especially the tard ears.

PS.....and yes IWHI!

[Mr Nobody]

Worst show I have ever seen.
