Dexter on SHO - Page 193

Not when when those two had been in cahoots before. Hector was her tool. Having to admit that she was called for help by him personally and calling for backup to respond only would have furthered the suspicion that she had been hatching a plan against Dexter. She had become isolated in dealing with either Hector or Dexter.

You have realize that it might have been intentional by her. It made it far easier for her to escape than it would have been from a jail cell. It is possible that she knew what she took would have exactly the effect that it had and it worked exactly as she had planned.

I thought about that, too, but I think we're supposed to believe at this point LaGuerta is not ready to play her cards about Deb being seen buying gas near the church. She just got professionally humiliated with her accusations about Dexter, even if us viewers know she's right, so she can't quite come forward with new accusations about Deb such a short time later, even if the evidence seems very damning, until she really has her ducks in a row. She's not going to confide in Angel, or Tom like she did before, at least at this point.

I thought this was kinda obvious. She called her friend and set the whole thing up. It seems like she did something like this earlier in the season.

I also wonder if we've seen the last of her. I guess we won't know for sure until we find out who's guest starring next season, but I think she'll be back.

I wasn't referring to the pill she took in the courthouse, I meant the infamous bottle of water.

anyone wait until after the credits and see Showtime's interview with the producers, just before Homeland. He explained that they had planned to cut right after Deb shot LaGuerta, but instead let it roll, and the part where Deb hugged LaGuerta was all improvised

interesting

About the hug, Laguerta was dripping in blood all over, Deb huged her for a long while, she returns to the party all clean? mmmm

Yeah I don't really know how will they explain Laguerta's murder, perhaps Dexter dissapeared her for good?

They will conveniently frame Hector, I would imagine. It won't be as 'neat' as Dexter had planned though.

My problem with that last scene was that it became too predicable, especially once Dex laid his tools down.

Yeah it was a signal like "Hey Deb I'm dropping the knife YOU kill her" and then she did..

I haven't been around much because I totally hat the look and feel of the website since they changed it up, but I felt compelled to return after the finale'. The forums that I have been reading have really ben hating on this season and the finale', but I like where they are going. Dex is a monster, and they made that clear with this finale'. I expect a miserable end for him next season.

Not even gonna spoiler tag it. You can decide.

Jennifer ad-libbed that part - she's an amazing actress.

Exactly.

Some thoughts...

Deb couldn't shoot her brother (the only family she has left) and who she is in love with.
Besides, LaGuerta was an a$$ to everyone around her making Deb's decision in a crisis situation easier.

Hannah is an expert with plant poisons, NOT medication.
Whether she re-surfaces or not (like Lumen) is hard to say at this point.
I'm guessing we will see her again.

LaGuerta's death is too messy for Dex to fix....Deb's gun was used.
How can that be explained away?
Retrieve the bullet?
That wouldn't work.
An entirely different death scene has to be constructed.

Dex is officially on the Darkside.
I think he has to run...Argentina doesn't look so bad now.

Like security cameras, GPS in Miami is iffy.

Another big thing going into S8, is Angel's reaction.
He is STILL in love with Maria and will not rest until he gets to the bottom of it.
I can see him taking Dex down...he would be the perfect guy to do it.

A little surprised Quinn didn't get whacked.
He will play a big part next season.
Maybe teaming with Angel in the investigation?

Logical writing sometimes takes a vacation on this show.

I leaned towards Angel also to be the one to bring Dex down. Quinn I hadn't thought about , but I like the idea.

No, they're saving Quinn for Angel to beat to death the moment he see
him with his sister. It will be epic. Dex will cover for Angel. Happy Days

Ugh. So now it's Showtime's call on whether or not there will be a ninth season? What happened to season 8 "definitely" being the last? These producers need to grow some integrity and just end it when they see fit (see Vince Gilligan).

I think Deb takes Dex down...She will be faced with the same decision she faced this season (maybe Dex or Batista instead of LaGuerta) and she will choose differently this time.

At least they're saying all the right things about this being the last season (for now). With the amount of bodies piling up it doesn't seem likely that they could stretch beyond an 8th season anyway.

EW's wrap-up and look ahead. Not very spoilerish.

With the characters invoking his name so much lately, it was nice to see our old pal Doakes back on the screen.

Bonus points for them bringing back Erik King to shoot additional flashback scenes as Doakes rather the relying solely on clips from his original run on the show years ago.

I prefer a series to end on a high note, but if the viewership is there then Showtime will probably milk this for all it's worth. This is one of my top three shows, so I guess I'd be okay with it going more than eight seasons provided the writing doesn't get as bad as it did during season six. Sure there has been plenty of plot holes and some unrealistic moments, but name one show that doesn't have that (even Breaking Bad has occasionally suffered from it). This is a fictional TV show, so as long as the acting is superb, character development is good and the story is entertaining, I am happy.

^This.

P.S. Doakes was the best character in the series besides Dexter and Deb. It is a shame he only lasted two seasons. His flashbacks alone made the finale episode worth watching.

Ehh, he was a 'one note' angry guy who simply spewed his hatred for Dexter, IMHO. OTOH, I think it would've been interesting to see Lundy do a little more investigating into the BHB. I don't recall if he worked that case. IIRC, he only was working on Trinity. Wow, just realized how many acronyms I used. Sorry about that.

You're the acronym king! Wasn't Lundy introduced in season 2 while working the Bay Harbor Butcher case?

I simply think Doakes was super entertaining, and he pretty much made me laugh out loud every time he talked. He was great, but to each their own.

After reading that entire interview with Scott Buck, Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

AK? Thanks:) I'll take your word on Lundy.

LOL!


And then she commits suicide and the Dexter circle is closed.

Regarding that Buck interview: As much as I enjoyed the Hannah eye candy this season, I'm not sure what purpose she would serve by remaining on the show. While there is certainly animosity--and whatever else--remaining between her and the Morgans, she could have burned them both already if she felt inclined. I'd like to think that the flowers she left were a perverse goodbye and not some deadly foreshadowing.

Perhaps she wasn't ready yet because her feelings for Dexter were clouding things. Once she's had time to let the anger stew she'll want revenge. Maybe.
