Dexter Season 5

[Nice]

I'm hoping that this multiple torturers/killers (Boyd and Co) angle catapults the season into hunt mode -- Dexter stalking a target, Dexter meeting the target, Dexter almost smurfing it up with the target, Dexter slices the target...'s bread for them at thanksgiving, Dexter almost killing the target but... You get the point. That's what I love about the series.

[Bunny]

I'm fairly certain that is what this season will revolve around, Nice. Dexter stalking and getting revenge on the people responsible for what happened to Lumen. The look on his face when she said that kinda gives it away and gives him a much needed focal point in his life right now. On characters other than Dexter, Angel is kind of annoying me which is sad because he was a really good character before he got hitched to my least favorite character. Masuka needs more time, Debra needs to bitch less and Quinn needs to keep on the hunt.

I have always found it questionable why absolutely nobody has ever questioned Dexter's work schedule.

[Raistlin]

Well the only person who ever knew of Dexter's continual late hours was Rita, and Rita was not exactly the brightest person in the world. As far as Deb and the PD knew, Dexter was home those nights.

[Nice]

Yeah, I find myself wishing I had his job. He gets awesome hours! Honestly every other character except Dexter and Masuka annoy me sooooo much. The PD is so blind to Dexter that I can't believe that they actually catch criminals.

I'm just hoping that something new is introduced this season. Season 2 had Dexter on the run, trying to protect his Dark Passenger. Season 3 had Prada and Dex becoming best friends. Season 4 had Trinity and Rita's death. So, I'm hoping that Season 5 doesn't just rehash hunt kill etc. A new angle would be interesting, i.e. Lumen is actually a undercover agent etc. Something that would give us a mindsmurf would be most desirable.

(SPOILER)Do you think that Lumen was sold by her family? That is my theory. It would contradict the letter, but at the same time...

[Rantz]

(SPOILER)Or molested, perhaps.

[Levian]

Why write in spoilers when you're only speculating?

I think she's done something terrible!

[Rantz]

Some people don't like reading speculation, especially not if it turns out to be correct!

[Seraphic]

I wonder why she kinda backed away from the people in the car after having run to them for help.

Constantly leaving work in the middle of the day doesn't seem a tad suspect to you? Even if he has an excuse for it most of the time, I wouldn't think that the PD would be so flexible all the time.

On the subject of Lumen, I'm blaming her father or some other male family member for where and how she ended up. I'm more interested in Boyd's connections with the group that supposedly sold her to him than her family history though.

A lot of his daytime investigations are done with the excuse of lunch. Plus, as long as he files his work on time and shows up at crime scenes when they need him, why would they care? He's still at the station a lot. Also, if a cop sees Dexter leaving, how's he supposed to know if it's for work reasons or not? I think it's certainly plausible no one at the station is suspicious of his absences.

[Shlup]

I like that, when they show his slides, usually a few have been added between the murders they show. He almost gets caught for, what, like three or four of his murders out of 70-ish? So what they show tends to be more suspicious and dramatic than most of his murders, so I think it's reasonable for the people around him not to really be suspicious of him.

I wonder why she kinda backed away from the people in the car after having run to them for help.

Because it was full of men.

[Raistlin]

I missed that question, but yes, MILF is right. It was no logical reason, but an intense psychological reaction based on Boyd's (and possibly others') abuse of her.

I agree with this too.

The chick from the L Word i.e. the tattoo artist is definitely gonna get it on with Debra.
