If you are unawares, the part where Deb runs up and holds DeadGuerta was improv, and she tells Dexter "I hate you." That part was scary. ;____;
I don't get why Deb thought it was a good idea to kill LaGuerta herself, but it made for an interesting scene.
reviving this because I finally finished the season
I swear to god I thought that Deb overdosed on those pills herself. It doesn't fit with her character to pull such a stunt, but she was gunning so hard for Hannah that I thought she might have been behind it. It makes sense that Hannah would have done it, though, right after Dexter essentially showed her that it family memers were "fair game" by killing her father.
I don't think we've seen the last of Hannah McKay. I have a feeling that something will happen in the next season and she's going to resurface to ask Dexter to come with her to Argentina.
I really have no idea what the next season will bring. I wish they had left a cliffhanger in one way or another.
Related to Dexter but not to this specific discussion, I don't think: Titus Pullo has one of the best "I'm going to kill you" faces in the business. The way his face just drops into this complete absence of any emotion is utterly terrifying, and it makes me squeal whenever I see it. I only managed to get through half of season four before I had to stop, but I've seen some YouTube clips, and knowing that Pullo will be making an appearance at some point has made me want to start watching them again.
I really enjoyed his character (Ray Stevenson's that is).
The way the season ended is the right way to transition into the final season. Before now, we've known that ultimately nothing would happen to Dexter. But now, he's going to face the full spectrum of consequences that luck allowed him to avoid in previous seasons. The cliffhanger is the knowledge that he and Deb are not going to be able to walk away from this. He had opportunities to have a normal life but ignored them, and he's going to take Deb down with him, so that finally the whole cursed family will be dead.
I guess people will disagree with me, but Jennifer Carpenter has done such a great job with that character.
I agree completely, actually. She's very strongly acted. The writers have been harsh to her character which I think has lead to her being disliked by many viewers who thinks she's negative, even whiny, but with everything she's been through it would be strange for her to be anything else.Originally Posted by chionos
I am one of the ones who think she is negative and whiny. I can't stand Deb as of late.
I love Deb and think she's a great character. Sure, she's whiny and emotional at times, but that's part of what makes her such a good character, especially juxtaposed with Dexter's exact opposite personality.
Plus, she's the best cusser on TV.
If by "best" you mean "most annoying" then you are indeed correct. I love cussing in all it's glory but that woman finds a way to stick profanity where I never though anyone could.
Although I will admit that she is actually the best sobber. When she's having one of her sobbing hysterical breakdowns, my heart is actually in pain for her.
FYI, Malcolm Tucker is the best cusser on television.
Woman finds out her brother, who works for her at a police station, is a serial killer... and she's a whiner? I don't see it. xD
Yeah, Shorty's just being mean.Or jealous.
Although the writers have made a few missteps with the character, I still think Deb is one of the better female characters on TV right now.
In general, Britts are better cussers than Americans. More finesse.
I'm not the one who called her whiny! Though I did call her annoying.
Oh I'm sorry, I di--
So Dexter is coming back June 30th
Glad I don't have to wait til the Fall.
