Spoiler for Dexter Update:
Ok, so I'm finally starting to see why season 6 gets so much flack. So far it's more about stupid scenes getting inserted in and totally ruining an episode's vibe. Example: Dexter and his brother speeding down the road while Dexter shoots at stuff. Totally stupid and 100% unlike Dex. And then drunk Quint telling Batista to his face that he wants to tap his sister's ass. Come on man. Plus they are really telegraphing ****. I already know that Travis talking to Gellar is the same thing as Dexter talking to his dad/brother.

Speaking of which, I loved that they inserted his brother in to temporarily take the place of the dad cause the dad was getting soft about killing the kid.

Travis killing his sister as the whore was a pretty WTF moment for sure!

Spoiler for Spoiler:
My problem with that storyline is that for five seasons, Dexter has been realizing that he is more than just some empty shell whose only moral center is the Code, and all it takes to undo that is some guy he knew for like a month dying?

Like, really? He's that weak-willed?

Spoiler for Brother Sam:
Them killing off Brother Sam was such a waste too. Mos Def was doing a great job with that role and they could have taken it so much further and down some interesting paths - like him finding out about Dexter.

Totally. Best new character in that season, and he had really great chemistry with Dexter. The season never really got back on track after that. Don't worry though. There will be a payoff to make the season worth it in the end. Just.

@ Chula

Spoiler for Dexter:
So yeah, sixth season wasn't so great. But that last scene in the last episode completely made all that slogging worth it, right? Prepare yourself for the seventh season, as it's the best since season four, and contender for my fav along with the second. It's going to live up to every expectation you're hoping it will.

And how did you feel about the Dexter/Deb romance subplot? Don't want to say anything to ruin the rest of the show (unless you really felt negatively about it), just curious.

Spoiler for Done with season 6:
WHAT THE ****!!!!!! More totally unbelievable scenes. The worst bad guy the show has ever had - Hanks, learn a few more facial expressions, Mkay? Dexter tripping and stumbling over himself every chance he gets. Never mind suspension of disbelief, this was unscrew your entire brain and drool for 52 minutes crap. And I actually knew the big season ending reveal before it happened because of the whole Deb realizing she is in love with Dex BULL****!!!!!!! I never though I'd use the FF button with this show but I wore off the freaking icon during the last two episodes. ARRRGGHHHH.

Yeah, but still. Last five minutes sets up some of the best drama of the series. And, if you're concerned with the Dex/Deb romance thing, then this is a spoiler, but it's one that would have legitimately comforted me had I known it at the time, so I'll give it to you anyway. It doesn't give anything else away, so don't worry about anything actually being ruined. I promise you, you will think me for this spoiler...

Spoiler for Extra spoiler:
That romantic subplot is almost entirely dropped for the rest of the series. It's mentioned in passing a few times -- I'm pretty sure just to preserve continuity -- but for all intents and purposes, the writers pretended it never happened from second one of season 7.

Spoiler for Well.....:
She did just discover the dude she thinks she might be in love with, and want to get naked with and ****, is another serial killer. Deja Vu all over again. How could Dexter have anticipated that Travis would ask him to inject himself with his needle on top of the skyscraper????
