Dexter "Are You...?"
-Oh my god. They addressed it. She knows. She knows! No convenient amnesia or anything. So much potential. So very much. Can't wait to see how this goes.That alone is giving me reason to be more excited than last year.
-Are the Ukrainians going to be the big bads this season? He's never taken down an entire syndicate. That's Jack Bauer territory.
Dexter "Sunshine and the Frosty Swirl"
-Shit shit shit. They are dealing with Deb knowing it all. He can't talk his way out of anything and she's going to attempt to work the monster out of him. This cohabitation thing has gotta go though. Dexter's only fun if he gets to hunt.
-I really wanted Dexter to kill Louis. That character either needs to get a lot more villainous (perhaps a big-bad or mini-bad) or fade away.
-So, I get that they got rid of Rita's kids. I guess Harrison's on his way out too.
Dexter "Buck the System"
-Yvonne Strahovski is in, Josh Cooke is out. Dexter's out of Deb's house but she hasn't given him the go ahead to kill yet. This is either a return to status quo or an interesting new angle. History points toward the former. My hopes go to the latter.
-I found his murder fantasies very entertaining and could watch a whole episode of those.
-It's a Minotaur. That's kind of awesome.
Dexter "Run"
-Oh yeah. There we go. Shipping Harrison out. Will we ever see him again or is he going to be a once a season kid like the others?
-So, they've introduced Yvonne Stravoski. When is she going to be used more?
-The Minotaur man will go down as one of my favorite mini-bads. That guy was creepy and entertaining.
-I can't imagine Dexter trying to make Deb see his ways is going to turn out well. Eventually she will let him "release the Kraken", so to speak and there's no way that can end as anything but a disaster.
Dexter "Swim Deep"
-I'm pretty sure Dexter and Hannah were flirting. I hope that continues.
-Is this the first time the big-bad has been a super-assassin. In terms of ability to actually kill Dexter, this guy is certainly his best match.
-When you think about it, all this covering up Deb has to do for Dexter is her own fault. Had she not walked in on Dexter, he wouldn't've lost the blood slide, Mike Anderson wouldn't have been on the road to find Viktor and the hooker. Even Louis wouldn't've had to die (sure, I'd be rooting for that to happen anyways). Then again, something needs to set things in motion, or else this would be a pretty boring season.
Dexter "Do the Wrong Thing"
Will Debra ever find a normal man. This is her second author. Second guy obsessed with a murderer. For fuck's sake, they bonded over sharing evidence.
-I really want Angel to buy that restaurant and it turn into the Cheers-style hang out for the cast. Maybe season 8 will turn into a multi-cam comedy.
-Hells yeah! Dexter and Hannah, getting it on. He seems to have a thing for damaged blondes.
Dexter "Chemistry"
-Fuck Quinn. Why couldn't he die instead of Mike Anderson? His moral quandaries really bore me. At least when he was dating Deb that kept him close to the action and dating the Trinity killer's daughter added a psycho-factor.
-Every season seems to be about finding another person Dexter can get close to. Hannah feels like an amalgamation of Prada, Trinity, and Lumen. She's not a new character in almost any way. Rather, she's a reworking in those similar characters.
-This entire season has felt like a retrospective. Between Deb looking back on the past seasons from a new lens, LaGuerta bringing back up the Bay Harbor Butcher, and the odd similarities of Hannah to previous companions, there has been a lot of chewing on past events. It's really similar to It's Always Sunny this season, and I've enjoyed both shows greatly as they do it.
Dexter "Argentina"
-No. No. No! Why'd they have to bring back Deb being in love with Dexter? I was fine accepting that it was sloppy to drop that story cold since the net effect of ditching it was for the best (and not creepy, technically-not-but-still-icky incestuous). I guess it was inevitable.
-I should've picked up on Isaac being gay, I suppose. I figured they were family instead. This make more sense though. That talk in the bar was pretty great. It felt like a plausible meeting of the minds and effectively conveyed the nature of their situation as well as their mutual understanding about it all.
-As an ending point for a marathon binge, this episode was a pretty good one. The end of act two, with nothing resolved, but everything in a holding pattern until something shakes it back up.
