Well it helps that Dexter is the only person that knows that the trinity killer is dead.

Despite everyone's complaints, I feel this has been a strong season for dexter. I think they've finally transitioned from being a 'good show' with compelling characters, intricate storylines, brilliant deductions by dexter, etc. to being a 'fun show' that eschews boring characters and focuses on being a fun ride for viewers.

I didn't think the show could continue with good material without challenging the audience more than the producers would be willing to. Rather than trying to ride the line between 'good' and 'fun' and succeeding at neither, I've really been enjoying the new season that just focuses on being a fun ride.

Well finally the "big twist" was revealed. Hopefully the next couple episodes really pick up the intensity. Anyone have any theories about the computer tech who bought the ITK's arm? At times he's seemed to be really trying to get close to Dexter... Makes me wonder.

[Da_Chief]

Good call CP, now the fun begins.

I don't think there's anything with the tech...this is Travis acting all alone!

I have a pretty wild theory. I think that the tech, Louis, is Brian Moser's son. He's been trying to get close to Dexter (kinda like Brian was) and he is a "collector," much like Brian. I think his age matches the profile and it would also play quite well on the whole "being a better father" thing. Louis was mistreated by Brian (or perhaps never even met him) and using his whole tech background, was able to find Dexter

It's quite far fetched but what do you guys think?

Not bad but I think Louis is just a little too old to be Moser's son.I've been thinking of a very similar plot but with Trinity instead. Arthur Mitchell was a collector too. And he would be the type to have a secret kid somewhere and possibly another kid that he confided in with his "other life".

One things for sure, Louis is not just a filler character IMO.

Interesting, but I don't think the ages match up. Lewis is what, ten years younger than Brian, at most?

But I'm not ruling out a connection to Moser. Maybe a third brother? I don't know, but I am intrigued by this little story.


I think I would have liked the last couple of episodes if I hadn't been in and out of this thread. If I didn't read the theory of Gellar not being real, then I probably wouldn't have even thought about it. But since I did, every scene, I found myself looking for evidence to support or disprove that theory. So, when the big twist was revealed in the last episode, it was pretty anti-climatic for me.

I think the twist was dragged out way too long, it just became painfully obvious after episode 5 or 6.

In regards to Lewis I have two theories.

One, he's connected to the Moser family somehow, the way he idolizes Dexter and now seemingly ITK as well.

Two, with his tech expertise he could be an FBI mole. How many major serial killers have had some tie in with Miami Metro. Deb was engaged to ITK, Doakes was labeled as the BHB, Trinity kills Lundy and Rita.
Perhaps the FBI has caught on and uses Masuka's intern program as a perfect opportunity to plant a mole in the heart of the Homicide division.
I remember in season 2 Lundy's boss (played by the same actor who plays Mike from Breaking Bad) showed up at one point. Maybe he's behind it, which would be awesome cause he's a great actor.
However, this theory doesn't really explain Lewis' acquisition of the ITK prosthetic arm.

One thing I don't understand is that if Travis thought that Gellar was alive the whole time, how did Dexter see him too?

I could understand Travis seeing him as he's obviously mental, but Dexter too? I know Dexter see's his father all the time, but why would he also see Gellar.

As much as I love this show, some of the logic behind it really confuses the fata out of me.

Dexter never saw him.

The only time Dexter ever thought he was in the same place as Gellar was at the church when he found Travis chained up. We could see Gellar in the loft behind Dexter, but when he looked, Gellar was gone.

When Dexter went up into the loft looking for Gellar, he couldn't find him, but found the open window and thought he had escaped.

Ignoring the Church scene, Dexter clearly saw Gellar going into the University, that's when they knew to leave to go kill him.

No, Dexter was falling asleep and Travis saw him. Then, when Travis says, "There he is!", Dexter looks up and he doesn't see him, because Gellar has just conveniently gone out of sight.

[VANFLAMESFAN]

Yep, Dexter or anyone else never saw him in the last few episodes. When the theory was floated out there, I made a point of looking for stuff like that.

It was kinda like watching Sixth Sense the second time and seeing little things like the chair never moving when Bruce Willis sits down at the table with the wife at restuarant/lounge.

[Philly06Cup]

The best part of being a Dexter fan: being paranoid of every character introduced and everything.

Therapist: is she there to help Deb figure out Dexter's true identity? Is she a spy for Laguertta?

Nerd Intern: Why is he spying on Dex? The real DDK pulling Travis' strings? Villain for season 7? Related to Dexter and/or Brian?

Speaking of Brian Moser, there have been a lot of Ice Truck Killer allusions. The hand; gellar in a freezer; a cameo appearance; Deb talking about him: coincidence, or something more?

Boobular Intern: Conspiring with Nerd intern?

Jamie: Probably gonna die.

Quinn: Probably gonna die? Go renegade and go after Dexter again?

TA that banged Quinn: Is she coming back? Is she working with Travis?

So many questions, and only three episodes left. I have a feeling there's a 2nd big twist coming, since so many people 'figured out' (found out) the Gellar/ghost twist. That's what makes this show great: Always guessing, but never really getting anywhere.

[getbak]

I think it was pretty obvious in one of the early episodes when Travis and Gellar were in the diner and Gellar didn't have any dishes in front of him and the waitress didn't acknowledge his existence at all. Sure, she was busy flirting with Travis, but she wouldn't have completely ignored Gellar if he was there.

Then, later in that episode, when she was tied up in the kitchen, she only ever pleaded with Travis and didn't look towards Gellar, even though he was supposedly sitting right beside her and had been the one who had tied her up.

Am I missing something? Why is LaGuerta and the Captain so against Deb reopening that case?

The Captain was with the hooker when she OD'd.

Gotcha. Ok makes sense.
