This perhaps the most succinct telling of why this season has been garbage
In order to pull off the twist, it wasn’t possible to have Dexter doggedly pursuing the Doomsday Duo. He had to have his hands full with other things—The Tooth Fairy, Harrison’s illness, Brother Sam’s murder, Brian’s brief return—because it would strain credulity that Dexter could have meticulously observed Travis as he normally does his prospective victims, and not figure out that Gellar wasn’t real. The Ghost Gellar twist was awful to its core, a poorly executed take on a shopworn idea.
dexter not doggedly pursuing the doomsday duo doesn't really make it a bad twist. and i don't particularly think that anything in that paragraph proves that the twist was 'awful to its core.' it's more stated than justified. i mean, yeah, it would strain credibility for dexter to meticulously observe travis as he does his normal prospective victims... so?
solid episode last night though, all told. intern storyline by far the most interesting thing of the season, though travis's sudden heel turn has been very entertaining too.
