oh there is a promised shocking twist? hmm.
I tell you, I think this is the worst season of Dexter.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

I can't really argue. It's certainly been really uneven. I think it's had some compelling moments, but it's been kind of all over the place.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The last episode, even though it had its tense moments, kept losing my interest. This season may play better on DVD, when you can watch the whole thing in one fell swoop.
(Does anyone know the origin of the term "fell swoop"? Falconry?)

Y'know, I never like the machinations to keep a killer uncaught so that Dexter can kill him himself. Sympathy goes *poof*

Yeah, really, Dexter's had plenty of chances to kill him. Just do it! The guy's killed a couple people already while Dexter was fucking around, not to mention poor fucked-up Christine. Though I get it; Dexter's intention is to kill someone and he's picked Arthur, and that's that; Arthur's his and no one else can have him. The intent to keep Arthur from killing someone else is there, but it isn't the primary focus. Dexter himself probably has not thought about this much, despite feeling bad for the people who've died since he found out who Trinity was.
I really hated finding out that the snippet of scene in the previews - "I'm standing outside your house" - was a misdirect. I shouldn't watch the damn previews.
I dislike Debra more and more. Don't even know why.

Aw, Debra's my favorite. I like that she was suspicious of Dexter's planted evidence. How sad for her if she ever figures out even part of the truth.
I did appreciate how rushed Dex was with killing the trucker - hardly any research, no time to linger over the confrontation or actual killing, he was just a means to an end. That's kind of interesting - the extent to which he still followed his ritual but didn't really seem to enjoy it at all.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think that's where parenthood comes in. I feel the same way sometimes. With less killing.

Man, Dexter is screwing up right and left.
