Check out some true crime stuff, especially books from FBI Profilers.
You'll notice I never said it was sloppy writing, only that Dexter was getting sloppy. I think it is very realistic for a serial killer to get sloppier as time goes on; I just don't want to see it in season 7 yet. smile.gif

Yes, normally you would assume this. But the girl in question this time around is a little creepy herself.

Since "Harry" is simply a manifestation of Dexter's own conscience, perhaps it is a subtle indication that Dexter is lying to himself.

Harry is Dexter's projection of his dad, reconstruction of his memory of him. He's unreliable. He's not dexter's conscience since dexter doesn't have one. More like a sparring partner.

My bad...I didn't read your post closely enough.redface.gif

My comment is meant to counter those who believe the writing is "sloppy" in Dexter, without realizing serial killers DO get sloppy over time.wink.gif

Well Hannah did get on the table and unless we missed the 2nd act, didn't get bent over it, but Dex is still going to have to clean up the evidence. No need to leave bodily fluids at a Santa Park break in.

Could Dexter make the same mistake and allowing Hannah to live leads to someone close to him die by her hand? could even be Harrison (she could easily find his photo in the apartment) .. look out Dex!

Hard to believe they would resort to the same tired formula yet again. Maybe this time Deb would come to the rescue.

Wasn't it insinuated that Hannah knew who Dexter was before they met at the crime scene?

One could only hope. They did the right thing and got rid of the other kids, but Harrison only gets in the way. Either kill him or throw him up for adoption or something.

I think the way it's setup, that Deb will be the one in danger as she'll be the biggest threat (because she now knows that Hannah is probably a murderer...and that Dex probably lied to her about the blood spatter...since he's never wrong). As soon as she gets wind of the Dex/Hannah relationship, sparks are going to fly and mutual threat will be apparent with Dex in the middle.

That's probably a very good guess. They are setting up for the final season anyhow and maybe they have Dexter have to decide between the two leading to ?

Possibly Deb will kill her to protect Dex and Harrison?
Meaning she finally becomes an Avenger like Dex?
Then she can ride off into the sunset with her step-brother and true love?

The thing about Dex and Hannah is how can they trust each other. They are both non-arguably crazy. Dex's only normal feelings are regarding Deb and Harrison (and the step kids). Anyone with a whiff of killer to them can become table fodder in a split second because he rarely telegraphs. Hannah maybe a grown up Natural Born Killer, but she can hardly trust Dex not to go off again...and...what pray tell may set her off. Both will need to be extremely wary between shagging bouts. Eventually, I see her taking steps against Deb and perhaps Dex since he'll want to interfere.

I was a little surprised Debra didn't bring up the two people behind the sheet she let go when she started talking about Lumen. You'd think she would remember that right away.

Haven't said much about this season before, and I've decided to keep it short now:

This was the best episode of the year. A true classic.

I share the opinions of other posters that Dexter's creepy hookup with fellow serial killer, Hannah HcKay, was great television. Given Dexter's track record with serial killers, the future of the relationship from Hannah's perspective looks bleak indeed. Nevertheless, it should be fun to see how it all plays out. I have really enjoyed Yvonne Strahovski's performances as Hannah. She is both beautiful and an accomplished actress. She has a role she can sink her teeth into and has done a great job with it.

She was the co-lead in Chuck. Hannah is such a different role for her I took a long time to figure out why she looked so familiar (didn't want to cheat and check IMBD)

I watched the first couple of seasons of Chuck but didn't put it together with Yvonne Strahovski's performances as Hannah in Dexter until I checked IMDb and was reminded of the Chuck show. She just turned 30 last summer so she has been around since she was pretty young.

Never seen.

I only watch a few TV series.
Other than The Simpsons, none are on the major networks.

I agree that Yvonne is nailing her role; seems to fit right into the Dexter story line, and her acting is quote believable for me. She's really got that whole mysterious yet turned on by murder vibe down.

They must have already talked about that because Deb knows that Dexter was the one who offed Jordan. We learned that she didn't know that Lumen was the survivor victim/vigilante.

Hard to believe that first season of Chuck was 5 years ago. She's always been fantastic though and she deserves to be in the spotlight more often.

She's definitely not connecting some of the very simple dots that the character of Deb we've been presented should be connecting.

It's unforgivable at this point that she hasn't really brought up Doakes being an innocent guy that was killed and slandered because of Dex. I don't think she even knows that it wasn't Dexter who killed him at this point, and I have no idea why she wouldn't assume it was. That should have been the very first thing she confronted him about when he said he only kills bad people.
