He also showed 0 emotional attachment to the case or girls involved at all

Dexter worked the case, but he was pretty much in and out most of the time with it, Masuka was doing most of the work...

Yet he didn't react to the comment at all. It's a cheat.

I don't necessarily have a problem with them using 'cheats'. I do think they should use them consistently, however. I was pretty annoyed in this last episode with the scene where the vendor on the street heard Lumen kicking and screaming in the car, and also identified Jordan Chase. The show has been ignoring all kinds of 'real' details with people getting murdered all over the place, the largest of which is just plainly the amount of time Dexter spends away from his actual job. I just found it pretty lame that all of a sudden, a small reality of kidnapping someone that would otherwise be a nuisance is suddenly useful for the writers. They could have found a better way to get Deb to the camp, IMO.

Not to mention the electronic trail he would leave behind all the time.

Que?


It was revealed he uses cash only.

I hate watching how often he doesnt have gloves on at crime scenes.

"You must be glad this whole thing is finally over"

Think about it. She knows Quinn investigated Dexter. She knows Quinn checked out the equipment and was working with Liddy. She knows Liddy was investigating someone. She knows Quinn didn't kill Liddy and that he was obviously trying to protect someone. She knows the blood work cleared Quinn and she knows Dexter did the blood work. She sees Dexter with a strange woman. She sees both their likenesses though the plastic. The strange woman with Dexter disappears after the last killing.

Everything she has learned obviously points to Dexter. She is well on her way to knowing he had a hand in Rita's death and the vigilante killings.

He's always on the police intranet or whatever looking up shite that he has no business looking up. You'd think there would be a trail. And also his cell phone records.

I was waiting for his emergency request to locate the property holdings for Jordan Chase (Eddie or whatever) to come back to the wrong D. Morgan...to Deb Morgan rather than Dexter Morgan and that would be how Deb finds him...but whatever.

Again, thank you.

I'm gonna have to rewatch the endind. But I definitely think she suspects something. Remember when she shot that guy in the club and she told dexter that she doesn't feel bad that some people deserve to die... I think she understands.

Definitely on her way...but I still don't think she knows

I just rewatched it and definitely see how it is possible that Deb knows. Many times on the show characters speak about one thing and are really speaking about two things. I think this gives the writers plenty of time to decide in what direction next season goes. If Deb does know, she has plausible deniblity, much like Quinn does. It would suck to not truly have a reaction from Deb...I was looking forward to her reaction when finding the real Dexter.

How does the series end? Last week most were saying in death or jail, but after watching the finale that may change. Dex "transforming" to a human. He has gone from that ackward photo of him holding Harrison I believe to throwing a plate because he just got dumped. He has also learned that it is possible for the Dark Passenger to leave.

quote:

---

Harry will go away

He is the dark passenger

Harry was seen a lot less this season after Dexter found out he lied to him. I think he started to question everything at that point. Then Lumen showed him at the end how the dark passenger is not necessarily a life-long passenger, but it can leave you. I thought that maybe that's part of why he freaked out a little bit too. Not only did he have to come to grips with Lumen was not going to stay, but he also has to come to grips with the fact that the dark passenger can leave you.
