- Bah. I was really, really, REALLY hoping that Deb had poisoned herself, planted the hair, and set Hannah up for Dexter to dispose of. That would have made a far more interesting plot thread for future seasons. It would have shown that dancing with the Dark Side is dangerous, and being a part of Dexter's world can corrupt. Far more interesting than "Dexter can't keep a girl because she has issues" that we've seen time and time and time again. And it jived with her whole mantra of "I'll do anything to keep Dexter safe" she's been touting this whole damn season. What a cop-out.
- Yvonne looks super hot without as much makeup on. Possibly hotter than normal, unpossible as that is.
- I'm tired of writers continuing to say in these later episodes that Dexter has never killed someone who didn't meet his "code." It's bullshit. He's done it. Multiple times. Once to Rita's Ex-husband. And once to some random guy he ran into at a truck-stop bathroom. Neither were murderers. Rita's Ex was dangerous, and definitely needed to be out of her life. But, he hadn't killed anyone. And the guy in the bathroom? His biggest crime was that he was a rude ******* to an already pissed of Dexter.
I guess you could also say he broke the code a third time when he killed Oscar Prado, though that was out of self-defense (though he was there unlawfully in the first place, so who is really to blame?).
And I suppose you could finally argue he's done it a fourth time, with the creepy child Molester who was also not a murderer. A scumbag who needed to be removed from normal society, sure. But, again, he did NOT fit "Harry's Code." So, writers, quit trying to make Dexter appear to be some unflappable, knight of honor who never swerves from his code. He breaks it almost as many times as starship captains break the Prime Directive.
- The final scene in the shipping container? Sigh. Why even bother trying to making the scene tense when it's extremely obvious what the outcome is going to be. Had they gone with my very first comment, again, it would have made a far more interesting plot thread to unravel for Deb later on.
Come on, writers. You're dropping multiple balls here. I liked what you were trying to do with this season without having a single "Bad Guy" throughout the whole season. But it could have been much, much better. I think this series is continuing to slip from my top 5 favorites. But, I'll stick with it until it gets unbearable. If I could stick through all of Heroes (something I wish I could take back), I can easily stick through some Dexter road bumps.
