Hah I thought about him killing dexter in what looks like some sort of accident. Then the last shot you see is a close up of Harrison smiling (that same Dexter smile/grin in all of the advertising)

Before this season there was long and brutal contract talks for Michael C Hall but they finally came to an agreement and he signed on for 2 more season (this is the first). Had heard that it was going to be done after that, but never heard anything official.

I thought the ending made the episode great. I'm glad we got Deb to discover Dex's apt. in this episode and him to admit that he's a serial killer instead of that dragging out into the season. La Guerta is really going to be picky and prying into every detail this season. One character that I cannot figure out what his destiny is going to be on the show is Quinn, and this episode didn't help with that. I think Louie knows exactly who Dexter is, maybe Rudy left him some sort of message or he found something to reveal Dexter in Rudy's things.

Sounds too good to be true.

disagree. I thought it showed the start of the end of Dexter . He is unprepared / uncontrolled as his world is collapsing around him. Didnt think it was lazy and I thought he was gonna actually fly to europe or whatever to chase this guy / run away from his problems. Happy that wasnt the case!

But I agree its kinda sloppy and not as air-tight as BreakingBad would be (the red 8am-7pm hours sign on the airport door was sloppy/obvious)

I could be wrong, but I think there was a little too much detail put into Deb at the gas station for it not to be brought back up. They could have easily filmed Dexter doing more at the church while she was off camera getting gas, but they chose to cut to her, show her standing there nervously, had someone walk by her while she nervously glanced - this is coming back up.

Edit: If they show it in the "previously on Dexter" segment in the beginning of any episode then it will be confirmed. I almost hate how you see something previously believed to be trivial in that opening and know that the issue will be raised.

They could make it where Deb is convicted of the crimes and about to go to jail. Then Dexter has to kill all the "Witnesses" to save her.

i wish when deb had asked him if he had killed all those people he had given doakes some props and said surprise motherfucker

I think it's obv that Dexter's dad made him the way he is.

Also, i can't believe how selfish he was when he killed the Russian. He just made his a sister an accessory to murder, and he couldn't even give her the cop killer bust?

But otherwise cant wait to see the next episode.

I agree the airport kill was over the top, but I've come to expect that with this show.

The gas station and blood slide mishap was during the chaos of Deb witnessing the kill. Neither one of them were in a good state of mind at that point.

^^ "One Fucking Time" is my guess

Her idiosyncrasies are intentional.

how many times is dexter gonna be ready to kill someone now only to pussy out and let them walk, then find it much more difficult to kill them later?

season fucking sucks so far.

I thought the ep was fine. Pretty standard transition episode after the wild premiere.

Deb brought up Doakes, the slides and the BHB, but Dexter cut her off. Also in next week's preview...

[SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO AVOID THE PREVIEWS]

it appears Dexter starts to try to distance himself from Deb hounding him. Interested to see how the Ukrainian mobsters storyline is going to progress. Especially with them figuring out that it was Dexter that killed Viktor. /ghost text

Laguerta piecing it together while digging through the BHB FBI file will likely be the main storyline. Wouldn't mind that case being reopened to put even more heat on Dexter.

A lot of possibilities still. I hope the writers didn't fuck up the great opportunity of making this season one of the best. I have high hopes.
