Dexter Season 7 and 8

Re: Dexter Season 7

I agree, he has killed high profile people before, but he was able to make them believe it was someone else who killed them. I think his best bet for LaGuerta is if someone else kills her, like Hannah and then he finally kills Hannah.

I've always wondered if Mathews knew anything about Dexter. He and Harry were close, so you never know.

Deb had her chance to get rid of Hannah, all she needed to do was wait a little while before calling the ambulance, so I don't think she is going to kill her.

The wife and I are loving this season!

That is a very good point. Matthews struck me as consciously trying to not recognize names on the list the LaGuerta showed him. He focused on himself and started talking alibi.

I am going to miss Ray Stevenson! He was an amazing addition to the Dexter story.

If there is one thing I'd point out about the show is the quality of talent they brought to support the story.
We've had story arcs from- Julia Stiles, Keith Carradine, Edward James Olmos, Colin Hanks, Jimmy Smits, Ray Stevenson, John Lithgow, Mos Def, and others I am forgetting.
These weren't b.s. walk through parts either.
I applaud the combination of great casting and writing.

Re: Dexter Season 7

I didn't like that look that Hannah gave Dex as he embraced her. I'm betting she's not too hot on the new "sensitive touchy feely" Dexter. He might have to off her before she gets him first.

I noticed this too! Hannah let out a bit of info about how brutal her father was, and I'm guessing she has a mental block about loving any man, and that is why, at that crucially young age, she focused her passion on brutality, and on men that were percieved by her as brutal and heartless.
Now that she realizes that Dexter really has true feelings of love for her, she will retreat, I think.

My guess is that Deb is going to end up killing Hannah by catching her trying to poison him. Dexter is now blinded by love for her, and will not want to believe she would try to kill him.

I concur that the LaGuerta arc will spill over into the last season. The blood on the deck of his boat is not something he usually has to deal with, and he was called away so quickly to Hannah's bedside, I'm sure he left blood residue somewhere on that boat that will imcriminate him.

Re: Dexter Season 7

I doubt isaaks blood will get him in trouble. If he was going to get in trouble for evidence on his boat it'd have been from Louis, but he found his blood just by doing a regular cleaning on his boat. A big mess he knows about right away? He definitely took care of it

Normally I would agree with you, but Hannah has thrown him off his game, if you know what I mean. One of the reasons he has been such a 'successful' killer without being caught is because he is emotionally detached from his victums and relying on "facts without emotion". They even reiterate this when he's talking with Deb in her car. He's now 'saddled' with emotions for Hannah, and it isn't unlikely that rushing to her side after Isaaks death in his boat has made him a little careless.

Re: Dexter Season 7

I highly doubt Dexter forgot to clean up his boat well, as it's highly unlikely he didn't even hose it down (and if he did that much I'm sure he used bleach to get rid of any traces of it). Although of course there's the possibility he did both those things, and yet he still missed a small portion because he was in a hurry to get to the Hospital for Hannah. It was my impression that it took Dexter awhile (long enough to clean the boat well) to get there though, as she had already gotten stitches and had time to speak to Deb for a few minutes. I would've loved to have seen Deb just leave her there to die, even though I did enjoy Hannah's character up until I saw her face when Dexter told her what she meant to him...Definitely something up with that uncomfortable "smile" she has when he lays down with her...

I don't think that Hannah's going to be much interested in protecting Dex from Laguerta, not after his confession about his feelings for her. In my opinion I wouldn't mind seeing Laguerta or Matthews (or both) survive and uncover Dexter's true identity (and the fact that Deb's covered for him), and obviously reveal it to the public. Then Dex/Deb have to go on the run together (not romantically!), and I would hope that the end of the series is us seeing Dex in a kill room somewhere like Panama (no extradition) doing his thing, then going to meet Deb for a beer and saying "It's done" then end credits :lol...

Re: Dexter Season 7

I think if he did a poor job cleaning the boat, there'd have been a scene with him cleaning up afterwards where he gets the call and then you visibly see him hurry off. No scene tends to imply it won't happen, though it doesn't mean it won't.

Louis' blood was simply overt, yet they didn't use it.

Re: Dexter Season 7

If the Arson Inspector also turns out to be the Arson Killer, do you think that THAT association will give more credence to the idea that a blood-splatter slide equals a Blood-Splatter Specialist and thus be more evidence for LaGuerta to suspect Dexter as being a killer?

 

[Rbeato]

Re: Dexter Season 7

I too have thought of the series ending with Dex and Deb on the run and him killing in another country.
Thats an interesting theory about the arsonist. I could see Laguerta putting something like that together.

Re: Dexter Season 7

I don't think they would have shown the boat from above with all of Issak's blood unless it was going to mean something later on. We already know that Laguerta is targeting the boat and she will probably notice that Issak is no longer around and add him to the list of possible BHB victims.

Re: Dexter Season 7

One thing from the start about the bloodslide is that dexter has used a bloodslide at a crime scene before. Season 4. Trinitys first victim in tr bath tub. When Dexter found the old blood under the tile he put a sample on a bloodslide so Masuka was wrong in telling her that they dont

....

In a way, this idea would be good for the franchise in case they ever want to make a movie or a special or something. But I just wonder if Dexter would risk having his son Harrison be raised by the grandparents and knowing his father was a serial killer.

I forgot to mention Harrison, as he's been in this season so little, but I would also like to see him flee with Dex/Deb. Because like you said I just can't see Dexter leaving him behind...

Re: Dexter Season 7

As much as I think Dexter is going to be outed by the end of the series and would like to see him on the run with Deb and Harrison, I would really hate to see what it is going to do to Cody and Astor. They have enough issues with both parents being dead and their mom being killed by a serial killer and then to top it off finding out their Step Father is a serial killer.

Re: Dexter Season 7

Yea even though Dexter has ruined tons of lives and families I too don't want to see him dead.

Re: Dexter Season 7

Dex dies (poisoned) and Deb becomes the new dark avenger ....... :behave

I'm sure he has ruined a few families, but a ton? I doubt that, I remember when they found all the Bay Harbor Butcher's victims in the ocean they interviewed quite a few families (of the victims obv), and I vaguely remember most of them saying they were happy they'd disappeared/died.

As far as Dexter dying at the end of the series, if that does happen I hope that his identity isn't revealed that way Cody/Astor/Harrison/Deb wouldn't have to live with that their whole lives. Of course I highly doubt I would even want to watch the ending if he died :angry, no matter what the circumstances are. Because this is by far one of my favorite TV Shows of all time, and I really want it to end in a way that is at least decent. That way I can buy the box-set and still enjoy the whole series from start to finish 10+ years from now...

Re: Dexter Season 7

Yea not a ton, that's just the way I talk lol. I'm the same way about the ending. With this being my favorite show and character I don't want it to end with him in a body bag.

Who knows maybe Dexter escapes overseas Like Hannibal and his work continues.

That's honestly what I see happening, just sailing off across the sea and going from there after a long battle with law enforcement. Is there a final book for the Dexter series that says what happens to him or are the books still continuing being written?
