Dexter & Deb vs. Detective LaGuerta 🔎

[@voidconsumer]

Biggest fault of LaGuerta was saying "shoot him" to Deb instead of "arrest him."

[@james1861]

I never thought of it like that. Great point.

[@Sam-py9qq]

Yeah she was very clearly playing the wrong angle on that. Idk how it wasn't obvious to her that that was stupid

[@lisabell2573]

I thought that too at the time but after watching the entire series, it wouldn’t have made a difference she would’ve killed her anyway to save him

[@axelfond8317]

Nah, she was drugged and was coming around hearing what Dexter had planned for her. She was in a container with a psychopath and she knew it. He's holding a weapon too, splurting out his intentions to deb. Laguerta was right. Dexter manipulated Deb into choosing and Laguerta knew it. That's why she wanted deb not to think & shoot. Psychopaths are brilliant at manipulating people. Dexter did this immediately when Deb walked into the church and saw him kill, attempting to play it down. Even though deb could see the body wrapped in plastic and kept on asking while Dexter foolishly acted as if he could play it down

[@DowntownTasty]

Right in the stress of the moment of laguerta saying that, she felt like she was left with only 2 options when in fact there were more. Especially once Dexter dropped his weapon she could've arrested him.

Imagine how much better of an ending for the show it would have been if at 23:04 Deb shoots Dexter. It would have been the perfect ending -- the only person Dexter actually loved was Deb, and to keep her from going down the dark path he sacrifices himself to save her.

[@unityforall-md4fl]

Dexter was ready to give up his life in the hands of Deb, the sister who he cares, just his affection of emotion is different from the norms,but Dexter do care for social interactions, that's why he always has Harry to be there as his imagination. Deb was put in a difficult situation on killing someone ready to give up their sins, vs lagurerta screaming at Deb to shoot at an unarmed man. Lagureta is still a police officer, she can't be a vigilante but she utilize all level 1 emotions to tell a sister to kill her brother instead of taking this into the police station. Which makes sense for Deb to shoot her at the heat of the moment. 😂

I can't buy that he would suddenly be this dimwitted about Debra's principles. He loves her, for sure, but this moment isn't an expression of it. You can't call something he only did once he was totally cornered an act of love, in my view.

The most interesting part about Maria’s investigation is that it was all circumstantial evidence towards Dexter.

[@axelfond8317]

Yeah but she had Dexter and Deb for the murder in the church. She had their GPS under a warrant, which would have only put them two at the crime scene. After she obtained the petrol station CCTV with deb filling up containers. Then she would have used the blood slide from that crime as further evidence and before you know it, the federal agents would have been all over Dexter investigating everything that's ever happened such as why did Doakes want a blood slide sample analysed if he was supposed to be the bay harbor butcher. And if they couldn't pin him as the bay harbor butcher, the two would still be under arrest and facing a trial for murder. Maria also outsmarted Dexter when she had his mother's killer released until Dexter realised he was lured into a trap

And by doing all of this, Dexter makes some of the worst mistakes he has ever made before all because he cares so deeply for her. Deb shows that Dexter is human, even when he tries to convince everyone he's not. He can't stand to hear her even say he's a killer, you can see the little boy watching his mother die come out when Deb talks to him like he's some inhuman monster.

[@marctm7614]

The confrontation between Dex, Deb and LaGuerta should've been the finale of the series, with Deb instead choosing to arrest Dexter as a way to cap off the series.

[@jameshollister8294]

No there making other shows

[@marctm7614]

@@jameshollister8294 I'm aware, but I'm not sure what that has to do with my comment above. They're only making those other shows because the original ending to Dexter was terrible, this ending wouldn't have been.

[@MrsSSHBurnell]

I heard the real ending was supposed to be Dexter on the table for lethal injection with all of the people he unalived around him

[@DarkMichael9]

Nail in the coffin right here. This sealed off the impossibility of getting a satisfying end whatsoever. 2-for-1 deal on supporting characters! The show was spiraling and they needed to bring it back up, not make the main supporting character take an even deeper dive. Like, seriously, this just translates to losing Deb because mentally broken Deb isn't a good character and doesn't drive the plot forward.

[@LadyMarigoldWithers]

Anyone else think that Deb arresting Dexter and him going to prison would have made an interesting final series? Like the notoriety/celeb status he would have had and dealing with prison life and Deb visiting him and her dealing with it all would have made for an interesting final series.

[@thomaswatson1739]

That would have been horrible. Nobody wants to see him get locked up and ratted on by Deb

[@newmanhiding2314]

That last scene with LaGuerta’s death is probably the only scene in the show where Michael C. Hall gives the least impressive performance.

[@amberinthebox4462]

I cried when deb cried for luguerta. That was damn good acting

[@DylanFoster87]

Thanks for the 20min+ videos :)

[@Rachel-ul8et]

Deb’s character is loyal, naive and brave to be alone with Dexter once she knows what he is. All likelihood a psychopath would kill her if there is even a CHANCE she could hurt him

[@anthonycampos8057]

She's his sister. He's not gonna hurt her.

[@jamillajohnson6108]

Dex made it clear in the very first ep. He had no feelings, but if he did. They would be for Deb. He would never hurt her... He may have been a psychopath but even they have a place for those they are fond of. Those are the ones you never threaten, because they are held too such a high standard from the rest. Deb is that person for Dex. The only reason he stuck to his code was because of Deb.. It was his way of protecting her, himself and being able to carry on with his activities.. It was also Deb in Dexter: New Blood his reasoning for not killing for 10 years. He had made a promise to Deb..

[@oldylad]

@@jamillajohnson6108dex isn’t a psychopath. Early on he acted like one, but as the series continued he very obviously showed empathy multiple times. Dex is an unreliable narrator. Like what does “if I had feelings they’d be for her” mean? He has feelings for her, watch his interactions with her, especially these scenes. When she shot laguerta look at his face, when she dies look at his reaction to it. Dexter is a case of childhood trauma that fucked him up, and his father and Doctor Vogel fucked him ip further by misjudging his condition. Dexter was never a psychopath or a sociopath, he was a traumatize 3 year old stuck in a pool of his mothers blood. His mental monologues are how he sees it, but in reality he loves his family, and that should be obvious by the end, it’s why he left Harrison and Hannah

[@jamillajohnson6108]

@@oldylad I know that... What new pieces of information are you giving... To be honest the show didn't know what they wanted to Dexter to be... They kept switching his character.... In seasons 1-4 he most definitely was a sociopath with psychopathic tendencies... The the last seasons they wrote where he's just traumatized. All because the showrunners didn't want the brand Dexter to be non marketable. This is the reason Dexter never faced moral consequences.. The reason they didn't want Dexter to die in the end.. The character of Dexter is NOT just a traumatized man but a sociopath w/ psychopathic tendencies... He is a serial killer.. The Code is his crutch and excuse to kill.. He takes trophies... He dismembers his victims with ease.. This is deeper than trauma

[@griffisjm]

​@anthonycampos8057 You do understand that psychopaths have no feelings, right? They don't experience love , fear, etc.

[@idontno0]

So detective went back to a container where no one was collecting evidence, by herself without calling for help for the man they were following and looking for? Such horrible writing.

[@fr6nz99]

She just forgot is all, it happens, the other guy same thing sometimes you have something going on and you just forget. Women and there emotions makes them illogical and irrational Same with Deb, she could've called the cops and let them handle Dexter and Maria instead of shoot, she was a little emotional, you know women are when it comes with emotions. Because of this, it's completely logical

[@oldylad]

She had just left and rushed back because the man’s life was in danger. Why would he run and come back otherwise? Dexter expected cops to show up soon, hence his quick plan to shoot the guy then Maria for the cops who would soon show up.

[@someutubchannel69]

Laguerta is so ... NOT LIKEABLE!! From the beginning to her end ... She's just Annoying!!!

[@felipemontero1087]

She didn’t had a likable moment in 99% percent of her appearances. The only good thing I can point out was snapping at Quin after he said that a in Shock Dexter was describing his recently murdered wife like a blood analyst. Besides that, I think most of the killers in the show were more likable and good

[@jamillajohnson6108]

I agree, I hated her character! Was not at all mad about her demise..

[@amitkenan3878]

[@jamillajohnson6108]

@@amitkenan3878 She was getting there by telling Deb to shoot an unarmed man. When she should have told her to arrest him... She most certainly was not thinking to whom she was talking to. Deb and Dex went together like glue... Wrong choice of words in that moment.

[@AlexVTope]

Laguerta is just not a guilty victim, like Rita, like Doakes. Laguerta and Doake were just doing their job and trying to get the truth and get justice. Dexter is not a positive character in this story. The director of the first four seasons already tried to bring the audience to this. In the end, he killed Doakes, because of him, Rita and Laguerta died, and he destroyed Deb. He was the one who pissed me off the most. And, frankly, I expected to see him in the electric chair in the ninth season.

[@axelfond8317]

Or she could have walked away. Why on earth did she shoot Laguerta now come to think of it 😂 Makes no sense

[@dreadman8210]

Honestly I figured it came down to she cared too much about Dexter to let him be arrested and locked in psyceatric care forever, and maybe a small part of her believed in what he was doing (why else did she not turn him in the first chance she got)

[@thesawmoviesarelong]

She should've just walked away.. at that point she is just implication herself once she made the decision to kill leguarta - something Dexter was going to do anyways.. Maybe it was just the moment, or to show Dexter who she chose, or most likely she couldn't just walk away if this had to happen it's on her terms kinda thing

[@axelfond8317]

It's how you butcher two characters in one episode. It just makes deb soulless and unbelievable how they tried to give her a redemption arc. Dexter threw away the code, even though for Doakes he didn't

[@squamish4244]

Dexter got way too much dumb luck on this show, as the writing fell apart near the end. He should have been caught many times.

Maybe she didn't want Dexter butchering her like the rest of the victims?

[@transplantman2287]

I know that plenty of people didn't like New Blood, but I think it built on exactly what we see throughout the original Dexter series and then especially once Deb finds out: no matter how much Dexter justifies to himself and to us (the audience) that he's a vigilante who only goes after awful people who "fall through the cracks," he frequently manipulates people and situations to ensure that the people he WANTS to kill end up falling through the cracks, and in doing that and then covering his tracks, he ends up hurting those around him.
