Hey it's Jonathan Banks! :D

Awesome!

Is every season going to have a minor character who was a minor character in Star Trek? Because I am totally 100% on board with that

Doakes escaping the cell just to be caught by drug dealers just for Dexter to kill them then put Doakes back in the cell was hilarious.

This show is amazing when it embraces the silly nonsense and just has fun.

It falls apart when it tries to be serious.

Honestly I think the show would be better if it was structured more like Culumbo. Where the personal life of Dexter barely mattered and each episode was just Dexter figuring out a way to kill the villain of the week.

Dexter's sister's track record:

1. Fucked one serial killer for months, even got engaged to him.
2. Got her hooker friends killed.
3. Fucked her boss because he reminds her of her dad.
4. Talked another serial killer out of turning himelf in.

Her track record is like the worst cop of all time. She's worse than crooked cops who are trying to be bad lol

The writers of this show do not like women. Every single one is a manipulative pathetic complete failure.

In the books *spoilers from books but i'm sure you don't care*
Doakes gets cut up into pieces by a serial killer in cuba, but then gets put back together as roughly robo-Doakes, whose only role is to wander into Dexter every once and a while and try to make sarcastic accusatory quips which gets misread by a text to speech thing, which Dexter makes fun of. So, the writing in the show is to be praised in reference lol.

Lila clearly has emotions. She's been smiling and crying and angry and jealous and lonely the entire show even when she's alone.

"Oh those are just impulses" wat? Who the fuck cries out of sexual jealousy due to an impulse?

It's so fucking weird that all the Season 2 plot points just got dropped.

Apart from one line of "Swearing off men" Dex's sister never mentioned old dude
No one mentioned Dexter being shot and he's fucked his girlfriend like 8 times
No one has mentioned Doakes.
No one cares about Dexter or the kids being (nearly) burned alive in a fire.
Angel seems to have completely forgotten about his ex-wife

Etc

I mean I get that things need to move on but this is science fiction levels of not caring about continuity.

In the long term you might be right but Season 2 was better than Season 1 and it makes complete sense that Dexter's corpses would be found

If anything it's a mystery that it took this long for people to figure out that all this crooks are being butchered

Season 1 is amazing. Season 4 is trying to be as good but not quite getting there. Seasons 2 and 3 happened, I can honestly say that... season 5... season 6 kinda had a couple things reminiscent of the good seasons. Season 7... but then season 8... and I'm not making a happy face >_>

deb has issues. like, serious issues. I didn't pay much attention to how bad her personality is the first time around, but I couldn't help but notice it on the rewatch

edit: I mean like, obviously she has issues. but I didn't realize 99% of the scenes she was in she was being terrible

Walking into your boss' office and saying "I met my girlfriend by trying to pay her for sex as a hooker before I realized it was a sting." reminds me of the Walking Dead Telltale game where you walk up to Kenny and go just go "Before the outbreak I was a murderer." and he just goes "Oh...ok"

Dexter has to be the shittiest "critically acclaimed" show I have ever seen. The writing and acting and pretty much everything across the board is terrible.

I've only seen the first five seasons but the only characters worth a damn were Lumen, Trinity, and maybe Miguel.

I heard there is a Russian gangster who is really cool too but I didn't get to his season.
