Dexter Season 7

[__JREN]

Well, as we know, Season 7 started one week ago, and I couldn't be more in love with it.
But there is one little thing that still bothers me from the first episode.

Did anyone found it some kind of a lazy writing or just random, the fact that Dexter did his killing, without no one bothering him, in an Airport? One of the places on Earth with tones of security!?

I didn't really like what the writers did there.

What is your opinion?

[kaneda]

It's a bit lame, sure. But the character's kills are almost always the same - a knife to the heart. Knowing that, I can forgive them for at least changing up the locations of the kills, even something as improbable as an airport. My concern with the new season is that it should be show's last. There's been no indication that it isn't the last season, but typically the final season of a popular TV show will make a point of saying so. I love the show, but can't help but feel it's run its course, and Dexter should be caught. Instead of that, what it feels as though will happen is Masuka's understudy will kill Deb and that'll be the end of that conflict.

I'm hoping it doesn't go that way, but I'd be willing to bet it does.

I heard after the last season finale that it had been renewed for 3 more seasons which is kind of a bummer as you kinda know that he won't get caught from that alone.
As far as the improbable kill I agree but I made a good fit as it looked like he was running away in the beginning of the episode so I forgave them for that and because it's one of the best shows running these days anyway.

[__JREN]

Yep, it was really good the way they managed to make us believe that he was running away from everything, but then it turned out it wasn't like we thought.
About this being the last season, so far I haven't heard any rumors about it, but it probably could be, now that Debra knows the little secret of his brother and LaGuerta is getting on Dexter's ass.
I can't imagine what they'll come up with to give continuity to more seasons, but I really hope they do something extraordinary.

I just wanted to rekindle this thread, as I've only recently been catching up on Season 7 (the Misses and I got swept up in Sopranos for a spell). When I watched the season opener, I thought it was an adequate opening to a Dexter season, but as I've been catching up I've gradually become more and more disappointed. Now I actually tend to agree with draguN's initial opinion that the writing is getting lazy - it is. So far season 7 is coming across as a poorly written thriller that doesn't seem to have any real idea where it's headed. The things that have just had me rubbing my head so far are these:

- Why didn't Deb arrest him immediately? I'm guessing this is why they established her having 'feelings' for him at the tail end of the sixth season, but it still doesn't make much sense. Akin to this question: why have Dexter spin some bullshit story about killing Travis if it wasn't gonna matter one episode later - he admits to Deb that he's a serial killer. It just makes the entire opening episode seem like filler.

- Why did Masuka's apprentice (or whatever, can't recall his name) die so abruptly? A good deal of time was spent in the sixth season establishing this character as a potential threat to Dexter, only to have his character completely change in the seventh season and then bump him off incredibly casually. It strikes me as a situation where the actor couldn't continue in the role (for whatever reason), and the writers had to quickly compensate - I don't know how many here remember the debacle of Michelle Rodriguez's character on Lost.

- Why hasn't Deb asked whether or not Dexter killed Dokes (sp?) ? She's established that he was the Bay Harbour Butcher, but hasn't mentioned Dokes to him at all - only to Laguerda (sp?). It just seems odd that she wouldn't make that connection.

- Would you really shoot yourself because a crime boss promised to take care of your family if you did? You could argue he figured they would kill him anyway, but the entire scene just didn't ring true. What was to stop the guy from shooting all three of them right there - he was the only one with a gun in his hand. This one's a minor complaint, but with all the major flaws now, even the small ones are standing out.

- Why, in the name of fuck, would Dexter go to visit this crime boss in prison? Not only that, but he talks to him - in an incriminating fashion. Police record those conversations - Dexter would have to know this. Taking six years to establish Dexter as someone incredibly careful not to get caught - having him do this just makes him look like a dumbass who should have been caught decades ago.

The writing so far is - as draguN suggested - just plain lazy. So far the season has just ambled here and there and not really given us anything meaty to sink our teeth into. I'm assuming it will culminate with Deb being killed, cancelling out the problem of her constantly being at odds with Dexter's true identity. Again I argue that the show should have ended with the current season and wrap it up all up nicely. Now, alas, it seems like the show will just slide slowly into mediocrity and be remembered for that.

Didnt watched it yet,but reading comments,expecting something good 

[__JREN]

All of that is damn right Kaneda.
In the last episode, number 6, I couldn't believe that Dexter banged that bitch when he was about to kill her. What was the aim of that? Totally hated what they did there.

Well, I'm a few seconds away of watching episode 7. I'll be right back with some thoughts.

[PrzemOO]

Anyone excited for the upcoming final episode?

[__JREN]

FUUUUU, didn't know it was the final episode! Not exited at all then.

[PrzemOO]

I mean the season finale, it's not the end of the show.

[__JREN]

In that case, super hyped!

[Genyus]

Eagerly waiting it's release here

[CRYOSPHERE]
