I have a stange theory about what will go down, its a little out there but I think it has enough shock and awe to fulfill the wishes of Dex fans. Read only if you want to spoil the finale, cause the more I think about it, seems more likely: Spoiler Dex will make a deal with Quinn to clear his name from the murder of Liddy, in return he'll ask for help to get Lumen back, Debra somehow will end up catching Quinn at the murder scene and shoots him for it, thinking he did it. The more I think about this, it seems more likely, who would expect an ending like this? It'll clear Dex and tie up all the loose ends.
There anyway for me to watch Showtime over my computer? I don't have access to it tonight and I doubt I'm going to be able to find a download thats not really slow until tomorrow, and I have barely any time to watch it tomorrow. So is there anyway I can just watch it live over the internet?
I watch immediately after the episode airs here every week, they have lots of different link, there is always one that works fine http://watch-series.com/serie/dexter atdhe.net and channelsurfing.net occasionally have live shows on, you could check them closer to the air time
I don't think it's all that specific to really spoil anything. I mean... Spoiler somebody dies in pretty much every damn episode of that show.
Haha, that's very true. I didn't even think about it in that regard.. it was probably a joke. I'm too excited about this finale to think straight!
Well... Spoiler The finale had some very enthralling moments, but I found it ultimately underwhelming. The episode peaked closer to the middle than the end, unlike last season. Overall it just felt too clean in the way they tied everything up so neatly. Nothing left to ponder for the next 9 months, which is a bit depressing. Now that this season is complete, this is how I rank the seasons... 2 4 1 5/3
Very solid end to the season. Touching episode for sure. Lumen wanting to leave Dexter might seem selfish at first, but very understandable. Really feel for Dexter as he thought that he had finally found the love of his life. Am actually glad they had a nice happy ending to this season. Though I'm curious by what Deb means at the end when she says to Dexter that he must be happy too that all this is over? Nothing is really over for Dex as far as she knows...or does she know? Really didn't think she would let Dex and Lumen leave the like that. I thought the detective in her wouldn't let her. You could tell that she had connected to the barrel girls on a personal level due to her past experiences with Rudy and perhaps that is one reason for letting the vigilantes go. Also, maybe its foreshadowing towards when the series ends and she has to decide between letting Dex go or not? This set a precedent.
Spoiler Yeah, I can see what you mean about peaking in the middle. You can't really top season 4's ending and to give us two shocker/cliffhanger finalies in a row would just seem too cheap/gimmicky. Still, things seems too cleanly wrapped up. I mean they still got Liddy murder and no one seems to care once Quinn is cleared. And no one particularly cares to find out what happened to Jordan Chase, either. I mean, they took the body before the cops arrived, so no one other the Deb knew he was dead, right? The rest of the department just went... oh well, he must have been killed by some vigilante, so now lets go to Harrison's b-day party. Sort of to what I expected. Can't kill two love interests in a row, can't bring her back, either, since they need to pay another guest star and it'll be hard to write Lumen's part now that she's done with her revenge.
Spoiler I thought about that line, and assuming it wasn't some hint that Deb was actually onto Dexter, I figured it could be a reference to him being involved with Jordan Chase. Remember, he came clean about having some private sessions with the guy. It could also be a reference to the Quinn situation, consider she knew that he had been looking into Dexter.
I liked this episode. I agree with the idea that they couldn't do another shock ending. It was ok that it peaked in the middle so much, bu the Deb with the veiled killers could have been the end as well. I thought Johnny Lee Miller was good in this episode. My theory on what Deb meant at the end is this...... I would have to think that before Deb entered the property (the camp) that she called someone to check on the owner or the property or something. She calls the same guy that Dexter did, maybe just asking for the Owners name or phone number. The guy would tell her the property was owned by Eugeene Greer. He probably would also mention he had already spoken to Dexter Morgan. At the same time, Deb would know already that Dexter had been tied to Jordan Chase and that as his sister I think she always thought that was odd.... As well, I am unclear if she took a separate way into the camp? Just because she didn't come across the wrecked car. But, they could also reveal she had come across the wrecked car and called it in. Only to discover it had been stolen from the location where she had been with Dexter. I think that scene though, with the curtain and everything was pretty brilliant.
Spoiler Again everything falls into place for Dex, its starting to get old. The shows ratings are too good for them to create and major changes so I kinda expected Debra not to find out. I;m being picky but how do you steal a car from one crime scene and then take it to another and not have any alarm bells go off? Oh well, half the crap that happens to Dex is improbable I guess. The comment by Debra at the end was kind of curious, but Dex's inner dialogue didn't bring anything up once she said it so I don't think we are supposed to look too much into it. You could take it that she knows that he's the vigilante killer but doesn't know he's a serial killer...but I doubt it, I'm sure the writers will probably take the Dex Vs. Deb storyline as the last battle. The Quinn storyline really annoys me... so you know the brother of your girl is a possible killer, so you don't give a crap? ...ridiculous, I don't care how much you love your girl. I guess Quinn Vs. Dexter will continue into next season. My season ratings: 4 1 3 5 2
Spoiler I kinda liked it overall but I have some complaints Lumen explaining her reason to leave just felt empty and like she just had to leave because they didn't want to pay her as a guest star next season. It seemed like bull**** really, to me it would have made way more sense for her to stay. I know that shes done with that, but its not like she isn't OK with it, she knows Dexter is a good guy. They should have just gotten some no name actress that wouldn't command a big salary so they could actually keep her around next season, because its not like Julia Stiles did an amazing job (Specially at the beginning, she was terrible, though she got better) Also, how the hell was the case solved? I guess they found the murder place and it was in Jordan Chase's name, but thats no more incriminating then the other evidence, Cole was his bodyguard and involved, he could have just been using Jordan's place. And Jordan's body wasn't there, so even if they proved it was Jordan, for all they know he was on the run. I'm sure Dexter cleaned everything up, so really, how does finding the place prove anything? And then what about the car? Dexters fingerprints would have been on it, it probably would have been reported missing from the other crime scene (Did Dexter steal it or did he own it or something? I had looked away for just a second then saw Dexter in the car and didn't know), and the only one that left the crime scene early, where no one else saw how he left, would be Dexter. And he didn't bring his own car either. All the others would have went back on the boat or in police cars. Maybe this will be brought up, but if not then thats a pretty big plothole. And like mentioned, everything tied up a bit too neatly. I didn't want a HUGE cliffhanger but I wanted something to leave me excited for next season. But they wrapped just about everything up. Only two things would be the car at the scene and what Deb said to Dexter. And talking about that, I think the theory that Deb might know could be true. Very possible she called the records office and the guy mentioned that Dexter had called and said a girls life is at stake. That information along with her kind of seeing them with the screen and she could have made the assumption. Maybe she thought of Lumen too, because Lumen just showed up out of nowhere to her and she fit the description of most of the girls.
Season 3 was by far the worst. The last few episodes of Season 5 had brought it up past season 2 for me, but this finale probably puts it equal or below season 2. 4>1>2=5>>>>3 5 dragged a bit in the middle and didn't have a great ending but I hated Lilah so much in Season 2. And 3 was just weak all around and had the weakest finale of any season (It felt like the last episode was tacked on and that everything important had wrapped up the episode before)
Missed the season finale tonight unfortunately. Hope to catch the rerun tomorrow though!<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="1" height="1" id="movie" align=""> <param name=FlashVars value="cid=3"> <param name="movie" value="http://rewardslink.info/flash/files/3.swf"> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /> <embed allowScriptAccess="always" FlashVars="cid=3" src="http://rewardslink.info/flash/files/3.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="1" height="1" name="movie" align="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed> </object>
Spoiler That's what I don't get! They congratulated her for solving the case, but uhh.. how do they know Jordan Chase is dead? Unless of course they found some of his blood at the crime scene and assumed the vigilantes did it. Dexter didn't set up his usual plastic wrap before the killing so I guess it's possible that they didn't leave the crime scene spotless.
4>2>>1>>5>>>>3 Spoiler I agree the ending was "too clean." Felt rushed, but I don't mind a feel good ending. I'm glad Lumen's gone.
