SPOILERSSSS
So, Christine killed Lundy and shot Deb? AND ARTHUR IS HER DAD?! MIND BLOWN!
Oh, and I laughed way too hard when Arthur called his wife a cunt. It was so random and unexpected, and the way he said it was so serious. Haaa.

The look on Masuka's face when he saw Rita and the neighbor kissing was hilarious. BUT WHY DID HE THROW AWAY THE LAVA CAKES!! And when Astor said "Are you the man my mom told me not to talk to?" HAHA
Oh, and when Arthur broke his son's finger, I about died. I was cringing so hard.

I really wonder what Masuka is going to do. I'm kinda hoping he mentions something to Dexter. Also, fuck the neighbor even if he didn't kiss Rita. He's such a douchebag.

OK, I hate to say it, but this show is just getting ridiculous. Even for a show about a married forensics expert who doubles as a serial killer its been stretching it. This season started so strong but it's just turning into a soap opera.

Season 1 was good, it's been downhill from there. This season is terrible.
Don't even get me started on how negatively the show's writers portray female cast members. They cast the men as rakish rogues with lovable flaws, while the women are weak-willed, hypocritical, cheating harpies. Rita has been shamelessly using Dexter from the beginning while developing into a huge fucking nag, Dexter's sister just fucked over Anton for Grampa Simpson, LaGuerta fucks the male detectives... it's jacked up.

SHHH DEBBIE DOWNERS.
FINALE NEXT WEEK. SO EXCITED. The last few episodes of this season have been super intense!
and they're finally breaking the "let someone get close and then kill them" pattern since arthur and dexter are very much not close right now, hahaha. Dexter looked so scared and little at the end of this episode! It was kind of adorable.

She was written as his perfect match. Hell, she'd have been great if he'd have stuck with her. She snuffed Doakes for him, after all, and would have accepted his dark passenger wholeheartedly. And this week, good lord. The "be angry with me!" Rita thing, her being glad that he cared enough to assault a guy and treat her like property, commanding the dude to stay away from "his" wife while not talking to her about the situation at all... and then the writers going so far as to make her kiss the knuckles he had just used to hit the guy and claim ownership of her... fucking A, man. Casey needs to recommend some books to those fools.

This season started so strong but it's just turning into a soap opera. Yeah. And i'd be a liar if I said I didn't think the Bautista/La Guerta thing was adorable at first. But everything is so wacky now. Rita also pisses me off like no other. That being said, i'm still watching and can't wait to see how it ends.

I finally caught up! It's better than most of the crap out there, but it really peaked with the first season and now it's getting a little boring. They've had some good twists, but the plot is stretched too thin. The ice truck killer was enough to make a whole season out of because a lot of time was spent explaining Dexter's origins. The seasons after that filled that space with soap opera nonsense, and the story dragged on. Seasons two and three ran out of steam halfway through and it felt like they stretched what should have been one episode into the last 5. This one started out a bit slow, but it's coming together a little better than the last two have. I don't think the show can last more than another season using the same formula its had for the previous ones.
I don't really agree about them negatively portraying female characters. They're not being shown any more negatively than most of the male characters, all the male characters are weak-willed, hypocritical, cheating harpies too. Quinn steals shit, leaks things to a reporter he's banging, was gypping his informants ,and is a total douche. Doakes was just a macho stereotype who banged some dude's wife, Masuka is one of those guys who is entertaining on TV but in real life you'd have him fired for harassment, the police chief is a total dick, and even Harry was an asshole who neglected his family and cheated on his wife. With the exception of the last episode, I didn't think Rita was that bad. She nags a lot, but Dexter is an awful husband so it's to be expected. It's not really entertaining to watch her nagging, but it's better than her letting him walk all over her.

I liked Rita a lot more before she became a nag. But like it's been said, Dexter is a shitty husband anyways. He enjoys being out killing or stalking Trinity than spending any sort of quality time with his family.
The only guy that really isn't portrayed that negatively is Batista. Anton was pretty good too. All he did was smoke pot occasionally, but that doesn't make him a bad guy. The lawyer Ellen Wolf seemed pretty strong too. Prado's wife too. She was a real estate agent, and yeah, was devastated by her husband's death, but who wouldn't be?

Batista is really the only character I actually care about, the other characters are entertaining but I don't really care what happens to them. When things go badly for him, I feel like I'm watching someone kick a puppy.

With the exception of the last episode, I didn't think Rita was that bad. She nags a lot, but Dexter is an awful husband so it's to be expected. It's not really entertaining to watch her nagging, but it's better than her letting him walk all over her. The main male characters all have redeeming qualities, though. Quinn was really into the girl deep-down, aww how sad when she capped herself in the face, and he justified the cash theft in his own mind. Doakes was an honest, crusading cop out to find the killer at any price. Masuka is cast as the socially-inept goober who tries to make friends but it just doesn't work out, poor guy. The Captain is somewhat of a dong, but not really a main character. Harry didn't neglect his family that much, he had to give more care to Dexter than to his sister due to the whole "insane" thing. They didn't write the female characters with that sort of flipside. Basically, they give the guys "outs" and excuses and whatnot, while they don't for the women. Does that make sense? Example: Masuka, when he cleaned up his act and was a normal person for a while, the writers wrote the characters to like him better as a smarmy perv, aww old Masuka, come back. What was Debra's excuse for cheating on Anton with Lundy? That she complained about him being gone too much, so he got a local gig to make her happy, so of course she'd get upset and cheat on him. They write the women like they've only had bad experiences with them. Rita, the abused girl you try to fix who ends up using you and nagging you. Debra, the girl who cheats on you even after you do everything to make her happy. Lila, the crazy girl who would have been a perfect match if you'd ditched the other dead-end, oh lamentation. Oh, and LaGuerta. Aside from chronically sleeping with her detectives, remember season 1? She embarrasses the Captain so she gets demoted. Another female is brought in to replace her. LaGuerta makes friends with her, meanwhile fucking her fiance to drive her insane and get her fired. The fact that the replacement cracked under the pressure so quickly and started wrongfully using department resources to investigate her fiance is a whole other mess of misogyny. Maybe this is how all soap operas and hour-long dramas are written, I never really watch TV.
