I coulda sworn he saw him a couple times the episode prior to last weeks.Crappy Pants wrote:I don't think Dexter has seen Olmos.Blockhead wrote:I'm confused, (spoiler ahead)
So, dexter can see Edward James Olmos too? If he's a figment of yung Hanks' mind how does that work? This season really flew off the tracks. Strangely enough, when Mos Def died. I can't believe I just said that.
yeah he was all ZOMG ITS GELLAR!!!!! when that tubby fuck was waddling through campus.Blockhead wrote:I coulda sworn he saw him a couple times the episode prior to last weeks.Crappy Pants wrote:I don't think Dexter has seen Olmos.Blockhead wrote:I'm confused, (spoiler ahead)

I said the same thing too. Thought he saw him in the flea market. Also thought he saw him when he was upstairs. Going to make me revisit a couple of episodes just to see if it was a case of Travis' eyes making Dexter think that Gellar was there.Blockhead wrote:I coulda sworn he saw him a couple times the episode prior to last weeks.Crappy Pants wrote:I don't think Dexter has seen Olmos.Blockhead wrote:I'm confused, (spoiler ahead)

Tonight's episode felt like what everyone who doesn't like the show feels every episode is like. "Dexter" keeps worsting its worst.

I have so many issues with this show right now.
First of all...every scene on the water was very obviously shot in Long Beach, CA, and it irritated me.
Second of all...no. They should stop this Doomsday story because its incredibly stupid and just get to the part where Deb confronts Matthews cuz its the only thing I care about and I dont really care all that much.
Imma set Showtime ablaze.

Agreed, Deb is the only thing interesting about the show right now. There's a sentence I'd never thought I'd type.

I still stand by the second half of last season (watching Dex take down a celebrity) and the first half of this season (when the characters were actually doing different things we hadn't seen for 5 seasons) as legitimately great and, t least, very fun. The past 2/3 episode are among the worst television I've watched.ALASKA wrote:you guys dont really have anyone but yourself to blame. you should have checked out with lithgow. that season was pretty shitty, but for some reason people sucked its dick, because lithgow is creepy i guess?

Lithgow was probably them making up for the weirdness of the season with Jimmy Smits.ALASKA wrote:you guys dont really have anyone but yourself to blame. you should have checked out with lithgow. that season was pretty shitty, but for some reason people sucked its dick, because lithgow is creepy i guess?

I like the Lithgow in season 4, and the Thanksgiving episode "Hungry Man" is arguably the single best episode in the series, but everything else in that season was awful.
You have Dexter killing an innocent, something that should have shattered his entire world as it's the one thing that violates the code, a moment we've been leading up to for over 3 years at that point, and it's just brushed off and never managed again.
You have the ONLY interesting twist in the LaGuerta-Batista love story in that Dexter's alibi for not killing Rita was that he was the witness at their secret wedding, which never went mentioned once in season 5 as everyone was now inexplicably OK with their relationship.
Season 4 was also when they started shoehorning in meaningless twist after meaningless twist. When Quinn's girlfriend wound up being Trinity's daughter? Totally unnecessary.
I think the big problem with Dexter is so few people can write it well. When they bring in outside writers, they don't pick up what people enjoy about it and fuck everything up. That's why Season 5 got off to such an awful start as the first four or so episodes were written by people they brought on from a bunch of cancelled CW shows. (not a joke)
