Thread 213743938

How did the writers manage to make the scariest killer a 60 year old grandpa?

don't you understand Arthur, father drinks and mother pays the price

prater becomes dexters husband

sex with deb

It was cool to rewatch this years later and realize that's Vanessa Marano
I like her a lot

>Surprise, Mother, Fucker
>Prime Directives: Catch That Creep Morgan

You already have a containment thread, faggot.

>>213744018
why are you getting so MAD anon(anon stand for anonymous)?

Harry is the New York Ripper and the hallucinations are actually him after he faked the suicide

>>213744130
Amazing dialogue

>>213744140
that would at least explain why he's aging

It's quite obvious at this point that the cop woman is the New York Ripper

>>213744197
sorry, meant the guy who brought 3 ice packs instead of 1*

>>213744130
Dexter is so cool

>>213744197
>victims are college aged women
>she's been on a lecture series
>this is the one case she can't solve
I'd believe it

>>213744202
Bold of him to assume there wouldn't be cameras or microphones anywhere in that private residence

>>213744197
Its Blessing. Hes made those white bitches won't take his BBC

>>213744197
>>213744225
As soon as she talks about a dead sister, it's GG

>>213744230
I thought prater said he was just renting that place?

>>213744259
I wonder what character in the Dexter series has a dead sister and could become a serial killer.......

>>213744275
Excellent security measures from Uma

>>213744287
dexter?

>>213744302
Jonah

>>213743848
>Harrison: Dad why are you always so manipulative? How do you do it so well? Does that sort of thing come natural to you?

>>213743938 (OP)
John Litgow is 6'4'', he's got manpaws. He's literally Steven Seagal tier. Plus, he's got acting chops.

How could Prater kill people? He's a manlet.

>>213744197
The ripper can’t be that fuckable

>>213744392
That’s why the hook is so long, duh

>>213743938 (OP)
When i first heard about the casting I just couldn’t take it seriously.
John Lithgow as a serial killer kek but damn that season turned out to be pure kino and he delivered

>>213744392
A gun

>>213744197
didn't the ripper leave a voice recording and he was clearly male?

>>213744225
>>213744197
You forgot the main reason. She shits her pants when he discovers her real murder weapon
>he’s onto me

the new york ripper is uma thurman. why else would she be in the fucking show

>>213744618
>be a woman detective
>investigate your own crimes
>make up a fake murder weapon
>make up a fake record with male voice

>>213744666
Am I schiozophrenic or didn't they show a voice recording left by the ripper and he was clearly male?

>>213744735
>what is a voice changer

>>213744735
Yes they played his audio tape just this episode

>>213744749
>what is audio analysis

>>213744771
something you know nothing about

Dude who wrote this and where the fuck were they from seasons 5-8.

chet hanks season was honestly the best one, next to season 2

>>213744735
You could tell it’s highly filtered and voice changing. They let some twangs in the voice slip through if you listen closely. It’s like when jigsaw talks as the puppet

>>213743938 (OP)

I think Lithgow deserves a huge chunk of credit for that feat.

>>213744857
According to Wikipedia, Nurse Jackie and Feed the Beast

Return of Sexter to bang the detective when?

>>213745171
Wouldn't it be more fun to kill her than fuck her?

>>213745171
>dat muscle-pits

>>213744918
it's not as bad as people say but come on

>>213744857
The writing is as terrible as its always been.

Is Debra still a "ghost" and following Dexter around?

>>213745171
Completely unironically….SHE LOOKS LIKE THAT???!!

>>213745266
No it’s just his dad. And random people from the past made cameos in the first episode for a couple minutes

>>213744386
Can confirm, saw him in a theatre play in London a few months back and you could actually feel his physical presence whenever he was on stage

>>213744735
i saw a pic of jennifer carpenter having a huge dick online so she's clearly a male

>>213745171
It should be illegal to uglify women in tv and movies

>>213744330
No one remembers this fag.

>>213744735
You're not schizophrenic, yes, we have his voice, unless it's some sort of trick.

>>213745348
I would like to know more.

>>213745266
Sadly, no, that was just for New Blood.
No more kino like this >>213744390

>>213745494
He was playing Roald Dahl and it was about that time where he got in trouble for going full Kanye West, I think 'Giant' was the name of it - didn't manage to get the best seats cause it was quite popular and I'm way too broke to be as much as a theatre buff as I am but damn even from the rear of the stalls he absolutely mogged everyone else he shared a scene with

>>213744001
>It was cool to rewatch this years later and realize that's Vanessa Marano

>yfw

>>213745500
I have to believe she'll come back in a later season

>>213744623
Believable.
One small issue.
If Prater has the Ripper hook, then he knows what she does for a living.
It would fit because he could use her as a police connection to find out info to hunt down other killers.
Plus, a violent female serial killer?
Not unheard of, but possible.

>>213744018
Sorry no one wants to talk about the sopranos with you, Tone.

>>213745194
>Dexter saves her life from the Ponytail Killer
>She ends up dating him and protecting Dexter from Batista as repayment for saving her life.
>She gets killed by ??? while listening to Staying Alive, and dies in Dexter's arms.

Sounds based desu.

I only realized in the latest episode the fat guy is the fag from modern family

>>213745661
Nice.

>The New York Ripper is revealed
>Somehow, it's Deb.

I hate Angel as an antagonist. Previous seasons he was completely forgettable, but the shitty writing where he learned that Dexter is the Bay Harbour Butcher makes it all feel completely unearned.

>>213745171
She is not attractive

>>213744018
Shut up, cunt

>>213743938 (OP)
It was all Lithgow

>>213746076
you're a homosexual

>>213746076
1000% Gay

Imagine how submissive via trauma Trinity's wife was
I feel like you could do anything to her and she wouldn't say no, haha

>>213744197
No, the Ripper is that hotel girl who's been cucking Harrison. That's why she's always asking him to babysit while she goes out to kill.

>>213744657
Quasimodo predicted this

>>213746168
The other chick, actually. Always seems like a bad vibe around her.

Wish there was more kino alliteration like the books
>Defensive daddy Dexter
>Hapless hunted Harrison
>Derising direct Dexter
>Homeless have-not Harrison
>Brave bloodhound Batista
>Gorgeous gal Gigi
>Pint-sized peeper Prater
>Untrusting uppity Uma
>Grandiose graceless Gemini
>Vexing vile Vengeance

>>213746076
Bag on her face, dick in her monkeyhole.

>>213746245
>>213746252
>>213746265

>>213746168
the ripper is that hotel girl kids dad, he never wanted a kid so he's been seething ever since

>>213744001
>It was cool to rewatch this years later and realize that's Vanessa Marano
>I like her a lot
>Dexter murders a hundred people
>Won't diddle a 16 year old coming onto him.
Now that's some modern, Hollywood-approved morals! Don't want him irretrievably cancelled!

>>213746391
Maybe the real Ripper is all the friends we made along the way.

I miss season 3 Astor...

>>213744011
Didn't you see the first episode of Resurrection? Doakes likes Dexter now. He sees that bit of good deep inside his heart and wants to help him nourish it to look after Harrison.

>>213746547
you know the ghosts are just figments of his imagination? They're more an indication of Dexter's narcissism than anything else.

>>213744130
Amazing dialog sir

>AND IT'S RAININ' ALL OVER THE WORLD
>RAININ' ALL OVER THE WORLD
>TONIGHT, THE LONGEST NIGHT

>>213744392
He’s like what, 5’11 or something?

>>213746455
>t. pedo on the beach

>>213746687
>tfw no Deb ghost in Resurrection

>>213746747
Reminder that Zayas was actually a new york cop for 15 years.

>>213744392
He's also a billionaire, obviously he has a robotic exoskeleton like picrel.

I can't take his inner monologue seriously, I keep imagining Elliot

>>213744386
I've read this reply before, even with the Steven Segal comparison. You were on my John Lithgow thread about a week and a half ago, weren't you?

>>213746937
>t.

>>213745171
bird face

>>213746970
She's might be fine out of context but the last thing any Dexter watcher wanted was another insufferable girlboss.

>>213746687
In the book series the dark passenger is hinted to be something supernatural. Can't rule out ghosts being a thing in the Dexter universe, God knows it would explain why it's the capeshit of serial killers.

>>213746937
>>213746954
>>213744386
Same "manpaw" comparison even.

>>213744130
Did he though? His reaction made it seem like he did feel something the night his brother date. supernatural forces in Dexter confirmed.

>>213747159
Expect manpaw references in every Dexter thread now, let's force this meme.

>>213743998
reminder that a relationship with someone that's not even related to you is NOT incest
>oh no we lived in the same house growing up, how can we be attracted to each other? that's disgusting!

>>213744140
holy kino

>>213744197
would it be more or less disappointing to people if the ripper is someone we haven't even seen on screen yet?

>>213743938 (OP)
You know what this series really needs? Dexter needs a sassy black female sidekick played by Leslie Jones.

>>213744197
Ripper is Praters penpal who """"died in prison""""

>>213745441
>no one can remember the character in the conversation when Arthur says "shut up, cunt," the best line in the show
doubt

>>213747242
look at the westermarck effect, if you grow up as a little kid with someone you just instinctively get the "ick incest" vibe even if you're not technically related to them. That means Deb had strong instincts saying "THAT'S YOUR BROTHER!" and she brute forced logic over those incestual emotions to get hot for him anyways.

>>213747352
Every remembers Trinity, his family? Big doubt.

>>213747352
anon its been 16 years, 4 seasons, and 2 reboots. The only reason the few people pushing this remember him is TikTok.

>>213744483
You're new here aren't you? He played a similar character in Brian DePalma's 1981 movie Blow Out

>>213746879
I'm guessing this is the first time you've watched Dexter lol, he's funnier and edgier in the books.

>>213747341
I keep expecting they'll have some sassy black female character who is a relative of James Doakes show up to continue the Doakes vs Morgan feud, going after Dexter for framing her cousin or brother.

>>213747159
>>213747213
Ffs. Touch grass.

>>213745171
holy shit

>>213745804
I’m hoping the show does this, but it won’t.

>cute girl flirts with Harrison
+10s, +10s, +10s

>>213747579
>Touch grass.
I will, with my giant Lithgow-esque manpaws.

I want Angel to win

Series ends with Dexter giving irrefutable proof to Batista that Doakes was really the bay harbor butcher. They shake hands. “Sorry hermano”. Eat some cuban sandwiches together as the sunsets.

>>213743938 (OP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIfTI0I5jtc
This video just convinced me blessing is the ripper

Not gonna lie. I was hoping for a lot more of Gemini. Could have made a season out of him

>>213747810
I do too, if he survives the season I'm thinking he might

>>213743938 (OP)
You were abused as a child by your father. He isn't particularly scary without how unhinged he is towards his family.

>>213745171
I also find her hot. Not sure why

>>213745862
>Plus, a violent female serial killer?
her victims are other women so its not unreasonable

>>213747950
Probably because she’s hot

>>213747809
>Lithgow-esque

>>213747810
Someone whose entirely personality is wearing a fedora can never win.

>>213747809
>the Lithgow Manpaw Poster

>>213747950
probably because she looks like a stroke victim and you're not a stranger to stroking

>>213744390
This scene reminds me of the music video for Gives You Hell

>>213747967
Never thought of it that way. win

Watching this shit 5th episode and they fucked up Mia's character.

Also her nose job is terrible and I hate that she doesn't have hairy arms anymore.

>>213747950
Because you're not a homosexual

>>213747950
>local faggot surprised scantily clad woman is attractive

>>213747242
Relationships can get messy. There are reasons why people refuse to date close friends. If the sex is bad, or the feelings end or the brother is a serial killer.

Instead of just moving on like with the other men, she would have alienated her own brother.

>>213743938 (OP)
Lithgow had already been playing psychos for 30 years.

>>213747375
her therapist took advantage of her at a vulnerable time and brainwashed her into it

>>213747242
it was the ending we deserved but they were too big of cowards to fully commit

>>213748222
depending on what you watch you could either know him as a psycho villain or like a wholesome dad.

either one enhanced and informed him on dexter.8v48d

>>213748294
Surprise Angel, up here, motherfucker.

>>213748244
Based!

>>213748307
For me it's always 3rd rock from the sun

>>213746547
Doakes appeared in Resurrection?
That's based.

>>213748307
>depending on what you watch you could either know him as a psycho villain or like a wholesome dad.

>>213746547
That's not how it works, you know it's not really Doakes, right?
>>213748624
Dexter imagined him as being supportive of his actions, Dexter is insane lol

>>213748294
I can't believe Angel is the Bay Harbor Chance Taker.

>>213748294
why not just shoot dexter?

>>213748737
Because that would be murder, anon

So, Batista is still mad about Dexter not warning him about Laila, right?
Honestly, he deserved that false rape charge, what kind of man fucks his friend's sloppy seconds?

>>213745804
if dexter was real about security he probably wouldn't be using an apple phone

>>213748737
he doesnt have actual evidence. also dexter has plot armor.

he should be upset at daokes

>>213748811
why do you need evidence to shoot someone? He wouldn't be taking him to trial

>>213748811
>he doesnt have actual evidence.
Yeah, injun Deb didn't have any evidence either, and the series still acted like she had Dexter dead to rights.

>>213748835
I mean yeah. He could go down that route. But killing an innocent person for while daokes was the killer is fucked up

>>213748802
he's gotten over lila. This is all revenge for chosing deb over him as best man

>>213748668
>Dexter imagined him as being supportive of his actions, Dexter is insane lol
Hmm. I'd prefer him taunting Dexter and quilting him. Guess just happy the actor got to do the role again. I always hated that Doakes never got exonerated postmortem.

>>213748862
Nah, he wants to clear up Doakes' name and carry on with LaGuerta's investigation.

>>213748737
he already got shot by harrison and lived, he’s immortal

>>213748944
my hope is that the season ends with angel shooting him and he once again wakes up having miraculously survived

>>213748944
why the fuck is harrison going to cheat on his gf though? that grinds my gears

>"the cold kept you alive even though you got shot in the heart by a hunting rifle"
>final episode
>"brother, its me. I'm alive. The cold kept me alive even as you slit my throat and exsanguinated me."

>>213748996
she’s not his girlfriend she friendzoned him

>>213748996
she literally refused a kiss and told him they're friends
harrison is free to bang whomever now

>>213749023
he's talking about angelas daughter I think. Kind of hard to date someone when you've fled town and her mom hates your entire family

>>213748996
>gf
Unless you mean a friend of his that happens to be a girl, because he never tapped that latina

>>213749023
Damn. and he watches her kid.

>>213749040
gotcha. didn't notice that scene. game on then with the blue eyed blonde

Boomers are creepy af though

They're always so weird soulless and predatory

Even worse they think they're so clever

>>213749068
And watched rag race with her hoping for pussy crumbs. But to be fair she did let him stay at the hotel so he is getting something out of it.

>>213748737
Just like serial killers have the strong urge to kill, detectives have the strong urge to put handcuffs on vigilantes and say "I'm taking you in." It's all they got going for them, taking the moral high ground thinking they're the hero for arresting the vigilantes that do more good than them.

>>213749088
the golden age of serial killers was like 60s-90s, boomers are definitely over-represented

>>213749107
Yeah. I must have skipped the no kiss cucked scene. Their scenes are not my favorite.

Why is dexter so mean to batista

>>213749224
he hates latin music

I'm sorry hermano

I would only watch this for Krysten Ritter. Is she in it much?

>>213744657
>Harrison "killed" his own dad who was ridding the world of evil killers
>killed a generic drug rapist whose victims wouldn't remember what happened anyway
>Was tempted to kill a landlord just because he's an asshole, but is technically innocent
Harrison picked the worst targets, he's much worse than Dexter.

>never solved a crime
>admitted in the police station to questionable sex antics
>tried to fuck a cop posing as a hooker
>”you killed all these le innocent people including deb even though I know the brain surgeon guy did it”

>>213744704
sounds plausible, she's israeli after all so she uses jewish tricks.

>>213744918
Colin Hanks*. Chet Hanks is the younger. wigger son from his other wife. I didn't dislike the season though.

>>213745804
more reasons to hate apple, they help stop heroes

>>213746076
not my cup of tea but she's that weird mix of ugly and exotic so I get it.

>>213743938 (OP)
Lithgow has played psychos before, he's good at it.

Go watch Ricochet with him and Denzel. He straps phone books to himself and has a sword fight in prison with Jesse Ventura

>>213746245
ever since the beginning of this season I've kept visualizing Dexter eventually having Prater's naked midget body on a kill table and how silly it's going to look. I don't think I've ever seen a midget get killed in a show or movie.

Who is Harrisons next kill going to be? You know he has at least one more coming this season

>>213746502
>Gemini thinks he's a mastermind for doing something as cliche as switching drinks you're offered from someone you can't fully trust
is it believable that twins this far up their owns asses are smart enough to pull off being such successful serial killers?

>>213749710
He'll kill Batista to save his dad.

>>213749733
That was my guess and I don't see Dexter doing it.

>>213746076
It's just a bunch of jews rubbing their hands together with glee after posting about how hot she is.
The actress's last name translates as "Banker" in their language.
She's quite ugly. She looks like a goblin.

>>213744230
Dexter's way of life overall should be way more difficult now overall with how prevalent surveillance and the lack of privacy is now compared to 2006-2013. He would straight up sedate people walking on the sidewalk, you can't do that kind of shit now.

>>213749778
What went wrong in your life

>>213749796
It's OK, he uses NordVPN.

>>213747950
She has a nice pair of crap cushions

>>213744392
He could be like Chucky. If he's good with a knife and uses his small size and deception to his advantage he can be a believable serial killer. Too bad they didn't go that route, a midget serial killer would have been a fresh take.

>>213749353
>never solved a crime
he cracked the ice truck killer case

>>213747081
In the latest episode he met her then schooled her about the ripper's weapon, so there's that.

how much did apple pay for the airpods to be a crucial plot device

>>213747426
Hate to say it but the tiktok zoomers seem like the main reason the Dexter franchise randomly had a huge resurgence.

>>213749920
Dexter did

>>213749813
Are you going to pretend that there isn't israeli astroturfing on this website?
Even on this board?
They've been caught many times.
Some as recently as a week ago.

>>213750017
dexter was there independently, he almost got caught in the act by the cops because batista figured it out as well

>>213747843
I feel like the way Dexter and Harrison respond to Batista, they don't even try to pretend Batista wrong. Any normal person would be like "dude wtf I'm not a killer LEAVE ME ALONE." But their reaction is closer to "this upsets me but you don't have proof."

>>213750039
I thought Batista only knew because of Dexter providing insight and checking the blood on him I thought

How do they know the new work ripper isnt dead

>>213750036
>israeli spies are infiltrating dexter threads to say a jew actress is hot
The jew defense force has way more stuff to worry about, /tv/ is full of coomers that love old ladies

>>213750110
didnt watch the episode award,,,

>>213750077
no, while he's laid up at the hospital with the crazy guy he has the idea to check psych records and turns up brian's real identity leading them to laura's house

>>213748046
what do you mean by fucking up her character? That she doesn't have a code and is just as fucked up as the rest? I kind of liked when the harsh reality hit when Dexter found out, and realizes he's still one of a kind.

Also she's always had that weird curved nose with huge nostrils, it's just more prevalent now.

>>213750120
>They wouldn't be in a Dexter thread claiming an old, busted up goblin woman is hot!
Did you even notice that the thread in the picture I posted was a South Park thread?

>>213750141
that guy was harrison's son in dexter resurrection season 12 when they invent time travel to try to kill jack the ripper

The question is why does the New York Rippers use an extended meat hook?
I considered Prater because of his size, but if it were him his hook would be a hassle to use once his victims were on the floor.
What if the ripper uses it while on a vehicle? Like on a Motorcycle?

>>213750163
I didn’t even look at it, and south park is a political hot topic atm

>>213750184
Ah.
So you're one of those willfully ignorant people. You know I'm right, but you just don't want to admit it because that would mean that you were wrong.
Gotcha.
Go back to promoting the goblin woman then.

>>213750180
a vehicle, you say?

>>213750210
I’m actually a jew spy here to indoctrinate 4chan by saying a jew actress is hot in a dexter thread, you got me

>>213750139
Anyone can leave a voice message

>>213750180
>I considered Prater because of his size
Can you imagine Prater using a weapon that big? Was he jumping and flipping around like Yoda fighting Count Dooku?

are the writers brave enough to kill of harrison?

>>213750263
would be kino

>>213750263
>>213750281
>dexter breaks into praters trophy room
>time to meet your hero
>prater grabs the hook off the wall
>no no no, you will die
>launches into a flying spin attack

>>213750278
It would be in-line with the rest of the series if they did. Everyone else Dex "loved" died.

>>213750244
Holy shit...this might actually be it.

>>213750263
He is rich, so he could have like spring shoes or exoskeleton legs kek

>>213750365

>>213750244

>>213743938 (OP)
Absolute psychos that could be an ordinary average man are scarier than guys who look psychotic because you don't expect it from them and it makes you question the normal people in your life. Also, John Lithgow is incredible at playing terrifying villains. I don't know if any other actor could have sold it as good as him.

This needs to be the pic for the next Dexter thread.

>>213750257
I'm surprised they didn't bring out the classic "these case details he mentioned in the message were NEVER disclosed to the press or public" after playing it like every other show/movie.

>>213751400
>UPPIES
>followed by a little midget grunt as he swings the hook as hard as he can

what if lady vengeance isn’t actually dead?

>>213751657
That briefly crossed my mind, but the writers aren't good enough to pull it off.

>>213751657
Will be back as a ghost as usual, like the others.

We saw her dead body.
She is kill.

Maybe she has a twin. A conjoined twin, amputated after the hanging, now roaming free like that one episode of the X-Files. Possible love interest for Prater? Anything is possible in the Dexter Cinematic Universe.

In ep6 the pilot that tells Prater "We have clearence from control" is it the same one from succession that tells Ken that they could get shot down by f-16s?

>>213750257
>>213751550
i think its fairly well implied he makes a lot of these calls and has been since the killings

>>213743938 (OP)
He wasn't scary, but he was very intriguing
>>213744483
Lithgow played tons of villain roles in movies

>>213747487
Most of this board wasn't alive in 81, much less old enough to have seen Blow Out.

What's the definitive rankings of all of Dexter

I know S1 and S3 are rated extremely high
While S4 is mixed

S2/S5/S6/S7 are all generally considered Bad

S8 being the worst

New Blood being quite good and people seem to like resurrection and Original sin

>>213752042
>While S4 is mixed

What in the everloving fuck are you on about?

>>213752128
A lot of people didn't like s4

>>213743938 (OP)
It’s so blatantly obvious that autism detective is not the NYR, and instead by the end of the season she won’t suspect Dexter at all and will instead hire him to work for her - because the writing is shitty. Don’t get me wrong I love the show, but it has always had issues. This way, Harrison also gets to do “hands on” work while studying.

>>213752042
S4 was peak Dexter. Followed by S1, S3, and S2. Rest is ass

>>213752128
I'm rewatching it right now and a lot of the original shine is gone. S3 rated extremely high is a LIE

>>213752042
S2 is considered bad?

>>213752042
>What's the definitive rankings of all of Dexter
Dexter TOS consists of S1 & S2. The series should have ended there but there's hours and hours of additional garbage if you want some garbage soap opera noise to put on in the background while doing chores.

>>213752042
>S3
>rated extremely high
I don't think this is true, I can't think of a lot of good things about it, Miguel was OK I guess but the landscaping dude was lame, Debra's love interest (the singing negro) was lame too.

I skipped S3 and went straight to 4

>>213752648
I don't think people consider it bad but it's a lot of missed potential with the Doakes fuck-up

1 > 4 > 2 > 3 > 5 > (OS >) 6 > (NB >) > 7 > 8

Can someone please help me understand what Dexter meant when he asked Lundy for animal crackers?

>>213747487
Also Raising Cane. Now that you mention it DePalma really liked to typecast Lithgow as a killer

>>213753091
Season 6 better than 7?
Lol, lmao even.

>>213754025
I'm admittedly biased, I got bored through season 7 and didn't watch the rest I never watched 8 but it's widely considered the worst

>>213743938 (OP)
Because none of Dexter villains are even remotely scary.
This show's "serial killers" are pretty much capeshit characters who have nothing to do with actual serial killers and yet are not even good as horror villains.

>>213754103
Gemini could have a great 'big bad' for this season, he was the only interesting killer in the midget's Injustice League

How's Original Sin? It doesn't really sound interesting at all to me

>>213752042
S1 and S4 are rated the highest usually.
People like S2 in spite of shit like Lila but not as much as S4 and S3 is easily the most controversial season before S5-8 factor into the picture, a lot of people outright hate it, to my knowledge

>>213754169
It's okay. Dex and Batista's casting were great; Christian Slater carried it basically. It's just fine. There's not much more to say about it beyond that IMO.

>>213754169
It's good for the most part. Some of it is hokey and weird (even moreso than original Dexter), but still enjoyable. Resurrection has been much better, though.

>>213754169
Because it's not.
It's boring as hell, tries to be like season 1 but sucks at imitating it and looks like shit because "cinematic color grading", and has the worst villain in the entire franchise. And yes, I do think Mr. Perfect Psychopath from s8 was a better villain than Original Sin's, that's how bad he was.
For some reason Dexterfags loved it, though, so maybe I'm out of touch.

Spencer really should've been an anti-cartel crusader willing to go to extreme lengths to ensure that cartel members are either dead or behind bars. Would've made him a good mirror to Dexter who also commits questionable acts in pursuit of justice. Maybe you could have him feeling guilty over the shipyard massacre or something.
But no, he's just a cuck. Literally.

>>213751181
No need to be wasteful. You can use this and reuse the gum later.

>>213754169
It’s kino and has the vibes of early Dexter. The guy that plays young Dexter is great and makes it worth it.

>>213754332
Also doing this needlessly elaborate and calculated "spooky masked man kidnaps and tortures children for days" shit when you're a captain of police makes literally zero sense. Especially when the show tries to convince you that Spencer is more of a raging lunatic than somebody calculated.
Just plant drugs or better yet CP in your ex-wife's bull's car and claim an anonymous tip or something. Would be a lot of a less hassle and a good way to hurt both your ex-wife and the guy she's fucking.

what if dexter is the new york ripper and just forgot

>>213744392
It’s not prayer it’s black guy

>>213747809
Kek.

>>213749353
Resurrection feels a lot less like it was written by somebody who never watched the original series than New Blood did but Batista blaming Dexter for Deb is one of those things that bother me.
Dexter did technically mercy-killed her, but I don't count it because the bulk of blame is on Vogel's son and she probably would've died anyway at that point. I guess you could headcanon it as Batista going schizo.

>>213754776
I forgot he technically does kill her

This show isnt 12 episodes?

>>213754834
Yeah, but sounds like a very dick move from Batista to blame Dexter for it.
>you wanted to spare your sister some pain of dying in agony after a psychopathic serial killer shot her? You monster, you should be punished for that

>>213754941
Especially because dexter probably wouldn’t have killed any of the three people Angel mentioned. He avenged Doakes by killing Lila. Obviously wouldn’t have killed Deb. And he probably would have let Laguerta take him in despite the code
