Any other car geeks get aggravated when Arthur's Mustang breaks down and he pops the hood without pulling the hood pins? Lol.

So when Rudy/Brian killed Joe Drexel (Dexter's Bio dad) do you think he was also killing his dad? IMO they had different dads because their mom didn't seem like a one man type of woman.

With Rita dying in Season 4, I needed a feminine connection for Dexter as, he is a human being in a monster's disguise. And, I am happy that the show gave Lumen. I do not know whether she will survive this season or not, I do not want to know. Lumen is the one who gave me a reason to continue watching this show.

Season 5 actually presented Dexter Morgan to be a necessary evil. He is needed, otherwise we would see more monsters like Epstein and Co. spawning up. When killing becomes your "Merces Letifer", the lethal trade, bits of the parts that makes your human chip away. Only a feminine connection that accepts who you are (not Lila) makes you whole.

I am happy Lumen is the one.

I'm re watching right now. In episode 1 Dexter gets turned on by seeing body drained of blood. He even grabs Rita's thigh trying to explain what happened to the bodies. Then rita freaks out and goes into her house. Then Dexter wonders to himself why he touched her that way. Was this Dexter getting a hard on later retconned? Bcoz we never see him getting turned on by dead bodies again . Or am I reading into it too much?

This felt so silly to do but it was fun and I think it turned out well 🫶

Doakes funeral

SO, Why didn't Miami citizens appear at Doakes funeral?

I think that bunch of people should liked what he did. But everytgin we have is family, Maria and Dexter.

Also, if other killers are afraid of him, he should be appreciated by some groups of people.

Where the hell is Matthews?

Why is he not a part of this story if he was always such a big part of their lives?

“I’ve known you since the day you were born”

Who wins in a confrontation between book Dexter and season 2 Dexter?

I just watched season 1 of the original series, then looked at some online discussions and got myself spoiled about Dexter: Original Sin. In the last episode of season 1, I thought Brian clearly said that Harry didn't take him in because he saw his dark side that could not be helped. I've seen a lot of complaining that Brian Moser being fucked up in the head is a retcon, i've not seen the opinion to the contrary. So i'm wondering if my interpretation of it is correct?

One of the main reasons they stopped filming in miami after the pilot was due to hurricane rita. The name jumped out at me for obvious reasons. I completely forgot there was a hurrican called rita in 2005. Obviously hurricane katrina, which has a similar ring to rita was the one the stuck out and still the hurricane i think of when i think of the “mother” of all hurricanes. I guess the mother of hurricanes in 05 florida was rita. Maybe all that rage she never released finally came out all at once when paul got out of prison lol. But otherwise pretty cool fact. Im sure most fans knew about it but i didnt know until i did a google and reddit search on how much time the show was actually filmed in miami and hurricane rita was brought up as part of the reason production switched to LA.

I know this is one of those low value posts but damn. Rita. Despite her beauty she’s so caring, compassionate and understanding. It makes me wonder why a guy like Paul would abuse a sweet woman like that.

But at the same time, do you guys/girls agree with the saying that you are what you attract because Rita attracted a serial killer and an abuser. What are the odds?

Civil discourse please. Nobody deserves to be abused but, why did she keep picking these men

Edit. Thanks for responding. I learned a lot. The biggest takeaway i got from all the answers is, everyone is messed up.

Bored asf so enjoy my random drawin

Does anyone know what song is played duringthe scene where Dexter is rushed past by two officers and finds Jeremy Downs dead?

Thanks.

The actor who played “ younger batista is 45. Christina millian who played laguerta is 44. David zayas was 44 when dexter started and luna lauren velez was 42. Maybe its new advancements in de-aging but i actually believed they were both 15 years younger than their counter parts while watching origins. Over the years people look younger and younger. Teenagers in the 80s and 90s looked like they were in their 30s or 40s. Seen a lot of funny youtube videos showing how diff generations of people have looked younger as the years have passed. But i knew millian was older. Just didnt know the other actor was about zayas age when dexter started.

I have encountered people like him IRL. They're a nightmare to be around with.

Everyone talks about Dexter’s lines, but what’s your favorite quote from another character in Resurrection?

Mine is Harry’s: “Get that fucker.”

This was made as part of my Adaptations Across Stage and Screen module, where I adapted Dexter to a British setting. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what worked, what didn't, and anything I could improve as a filmmaker.

One thing I'd like to address before anyone mentions it: I'm fully aware of the issue with Dexter not wearing gloves. We originally filmed with gloves, but the actor repeatedly took them off between takes, and by the time we noticed it was too late to maintain continuity. We decided it was better to complete the scenes than reshoot everything, so it's definitely a lesson learned for future productions.

Thanks so much to anyone who takes the time to watch and leave feedback, it's genuinely appreciated!

Was watching Dexter, and I found this cool reference that was thrown in.

yes, I like New Blood

Had to make the hand on my work desk more interesting. I think this works.

Putting this as a spoiler, however, season 2 is old enough to study at uni, get married, buy it's own alcohol, vote and get a drivers licence where I'm at, so I'll leave the last warning here. If you have 't seen it and don't want any spoilers: stop reading.

Anyway. I know this has been brought up earlier but the only post I read didn't really answer my thoughts.

They find Dexters box, because long story short, Doakes took it. Dexter is brought to the station, to find his box presented to him in a plastic bag. The higher-ups then reveal that Dexter isn't the suspect.

In reality, wouldn't they have checked the box for fingerprints before putting it in the plastic bag, to make sure not to mess with the evidence? I mean, the whole thing was evidence, not just the slides but also the box itself, all of it should've been checked just like all of it was put into that bag. If they checked for fingerprints (and other DNA, small hairs etc) they must have noticed that the majority of the DNA on and in the box came from Dexter rather than James.

And maybe I missed something, but why would Doakes gather slides with blood, when Dexter was the highly dedicated blood-guy at the station? Maybe they thought Doakes could've had a secret fascination, but Dexter was the obvious choice.

Also, I know that Dexter could have pretended that his gloves must have broke or something. He seemed to clean the box from fingerprints AFTER getting it back to investigate it, but before that? In his apartment, all those years, touching both the box and the slides with his fingers?

Sure, Dexter is supposed to get away with this, he's the bad guy that we get to follow, but this seems like a big miss.

If I'm wrong, missed something up until this point, etc, please inform me, because this bugs me almost as much as the thestrals in Harry Potter.

Binge rewatched Dexter to create my personal ratings chart, and have to say that I have HOT takes.

For me, S3 is kept AFLOAT by Dexter and Miguel's interactions and Quinn being not half bad. Debra was kinda mid, missed Doakes and Lundy, Rita was meh, didnt care for Anton, the list goes on. They also took out Miguel in E11 to give the audience "the unexpected" but it was just weaker than other series finales which I tend to gravitate towards more.

S8 is honestly not all dogshit, obviously as a whole its terrible but there definitely were some good episodes and moments in S8.

I had no problem with Harrison killing off Dexter, the execution of the concept was rushed and poorly handled/paced. Especially right after they got to bond so much.

Resurrection is honestly a pretty unbalanced season with stupidity in the first few episodes with how Dexter escapes, some good moments from Michael C Hall and generally a bit of recency bias elevating it alongside some Absolute Cinemas.
