I think he's going on the fact that 90% of murdered women were killed by the husband...

And I'm with LawL. You people need to chill the fuck out and just watch the show. It's obvious it has some entertaining values or you still wouldn't be watching.

This season ain't bad. Not as great as seasons of the past, but still good. Better than most shit on TV...

Quinn has always thought something was up with Dexter.

None of the above - the cock measuring all started when Dex caught Quinn taking the money.

Or it's only 4 episodes in and it's not quite right to shit on a show and ditch it after only a few?

If it doesn't turn up I won't finish watching, but it's only 1/3 of the way thru the season. Do you suggest I only give the show one episode before ditching it? Two?

Shit, we had to sit thru 2 episodes just to start the damn season.

Of course not. You should keep watching every episode of a show you think is completely shit.

ok, who else thinks lumen is playing dexter with this story about all the other guys who've done shit to her?

also, "lumen"? that's a unit of measurement for light. symbolism somewhere?

I think the implication is that Boyd was sharing his activities with others, could be wrong or could be

I don't think that would work unless Dexter abandoned his usual routine of having solid evidence of a person's guilt before killing them.

Also, how does an FBI agent let himself get tailed so easily by some 2 bit Miami cop?! And the place where they've relocated Arthur's family is way too conveniently located [shoulda moved cities at least]?! With nice big open glass windows that can easily be seen from the street?!

well, he's playing pretty fast and loose with his code so far (all those disapproving harry cameos), and frankly that element of risk is the only thing that can keep this interesting, so yeah: it's a definite possibility

In summation: Dexter has gone a bit into a weaker phase writing-wise, but still better than 99.7% of shit on tv

Yeah I considered that point, seems like it would sway too far from the usual code though. Still is an interesting possibility though.

it's like he's in the process of forgetting that he kills to appease his dark passenger, and has gotten lured by the idea of avenging wrongs for their own sake

maybe if the writers kicked around that idea for a while things could get interesting. it's always been latent in the whole dexter dynamic

That last kill was WAY too much of a clusterfuck, such shitty writing - although Masuka is a tard he's not that fucking stupid.

Yeah, especially after Dexter had just finished saying "compartmentalization is a joke". Although, maybe that was the point.

Lumen? Illuminati gang symbolism? I'm starting to feel a little in the dark with all this.

I'd recommend against that. Don't you remember how she fucked over Jason Bourne?
