Dexter Season 7 and 8

Re: Dexter Season 7

Meh. I have mixed opinions. Interesting tension, but had a few "deus ex machina" moments that bugged me due to there EXTREME convenience for the plot. I have a feeling this season will annoy me as much as it'll entertain me.
 
Re: Dexter Season 7

i enjoyed it. didn't like the first scene which made it seem like it was a flash forward to the end of the series or show but turned out to be in this episode. did like the music in the background of dex and debs scenes. gave it dark eerie feel. here's hoping the writers are back on their game. i do think because of dexters predicament just like we saw in this episode he may get very careless with killing since he will be trying to force control so much.
 
Re: Dexter Season 7

I didn't like the flash forward either, I am almost positive they haven't had one in the first 6 seasons and it seems a bit late to introduce one now.
 
Re: Dexter Season 7

So any consensus on this? Possibly better to wait a few episodes rather than jumping in and getting frustrated again? I was very disappointed with seasons 5 and especially 6.
 
Re: Dexter Season 7

For now...eh...I'd hold off. you'll be able to watch it "on demand" or whathaveyou, so it's not like there's necessarily a rush to see it. I think this season could go either way, at this point. Some important things are happening, but I really don't know where they're gonna take the show and I haven't been particularly impressed with the show's writing for the past few seasons.
 
Re: Dexter Season 7

I like it a lot.

I think it helped that i didn't read anything on it. I saw posts about a trailer and how it picked up where the previous finale' left off, then i stopped reading. I didn't want to know.

The ending was pretty intense with her ransacking his place and finding everything. Would have been ruined if was even alluded to in the trailers.
 
Re: Dexter Season 7

I think they should've skipped the flash forward after the episode. It would have been much more powerful if we were left with absolutely no idea where it was going to go from where the episode ended.
 
Re: Dexter Season 7

Love the series and loved the start to season 7. This show has been one of my favorites for awhile now. What a great start to the season!
 
Re: Dexter Season 7

i'm also curious if on top of everything Deb found in Dex's apt if the ITK hand will be brought up. As of now its the first time dexter has seen it, it sure wasn't on the fridge when they got home from the church. Also wondering now if dex will be using new tools now or methods like in this episode since Deb will probably take and trash em.
 
Re: Dexter Season 7

I'm a huge fan of Dexter, but the last few seasons, despite being good haven't felt the same too me. It's always interesting to see where it goes and I enjoy watching but I think Dexter as a character was a lot better earlier on.
 
Re: Dexter Season 7

Finally got a chance to watch it last night.......

First off, I actually didn't mind the flash forward, it was a nice misdirection which I thought was clever. Ill put my other thoughts in the spoiler tags

Am I the only one who thought the whole airport scene was completely dumb, and Im still trying to figure out how he could have pulled it off. First off, its an international airport, so therefor more security and what not. How did no one from security, TSA, undercover, etc....not see what he was doing on the cameras. Then to top it off he just throws the body in an oversize baggage bag. I would imagine even if they didnt have cameras in the unclaimed baggage area that he still would have been found right away putting up the sign in the bathroom or wheeling the wheelchair empty in there then coming out with a person in it.
 
Re: Dexter Season 7

The part where he kills the guy in a bagage area hold in the airport just seemed like it wasn't thought out well, it's the middle of the day and you have all kinds off employees that could walk in on you but you have the time to wrap this guy in plastic and kill then put him in a surf board bag and just walk out in a area that probably has all kinds of cameras around the writing is slacking a bit.
 
Re: Dexter Season 7

I thought the same thing about the airport scene.

They've only got a million camera's in airports these days - and in a full on internation airport like miami, maybe 10x more. There are camera's in the parking lot as well. I'd venture most lost baggage areas have security systems as well, no picking the lock for an easy access hideout.

Maybe that was the point though? Maybe he was dumb and WAS caught on tape with the bag. 12 more weeks for it to be brought back up.
 
Re: Dexter Season 7

My friend and I laughed at that airport scene. " I got you your wheelchair sir."
More excited about this season than last. It was just to slow moving.
