Hall stars in the hit SHOWTIME Original Series.
Starring: Michael C. Hall, Julie Benz, Jennifer Carpenter, Erik King, Lauren Vélez, David Zayas, James Remar, C. S. Lee, Desmond Harrington, Aimee Garcia, & Geoff Pierson

14:23 how fucking insensitive of Deborah. This is like when telling someone you’re sad or depressed or just feeling under the weather and they go “there’s other people out there with worse going on and they aren’t sad”. Like wtf do they have to do with me? There’s people with less going on that feel even worse, but wtf does that have to do with me. Hated her character throughout most of the show. 20:13 where was her moral compass during all of this!? Oh it’s okay for you to be a killer and criminal with your new bf you feel “okay around” but somehow still hold dexters past against him. God she sucked. Been wanting to rewatch but not looking forward to her scenes. She’s a great actress to make me hate her so much tho I will say that😅

[@vicwaters87]

What's wrong with New Blood? Dexter finally killed an innocent person and paid the ultimate price for it.

[@vicwaters87]

@@Barber27 That wouldn't make sense. Because you can't just have it end with some other serial killer beating him and it being game over. Season 2 and 7 were lauded for the moral dilemma of whether or not to kill Doakes and LaGuerta, and in both instances, he didn't make to make the choice. With Logan, Dexter, who was grossly out of practice, just killed a truly good man for the sake of self preservation and paid for it because his son isn't entirely like him.

[@Barber27]

@@vicwaters87 Exactly, by the end of the show he’s just a normal killer. And thus he belongs on the table, along with Harrison. Harrison never really lived by the code, he framed someone to make them look guilty to make a murder seem justified. It’s not about some killer being more dangerous than dexter, it’s about the cycle. Someone puts it upon themselves to fix society, and ends up just as much of a problem. Until someone else decides they need put down, and the cycle continues. Killers killing killers, birthing more killers.

[@user-jp1hs6sl3h]

Dexter is also what some might consider an anti-hero. You want to root for him because he's the main character, and what he does is a "good thing". But what he does and how he does it is what makes it not as ok as it should be. Because everything he does is for his own selfish "need" firstly. And doing a good thing is only a secondary thought. But everything that is done throughout by him or any of the other people he usually finds on his table are what to look for in highly manipulative people. They'll do anything and say anything, all while putting on an elaborate act to get you to bend to their will. But their true intentions are less than good. Bevause that is manipulation. To bend someone to your will. To get them to do what you want. It's kind of an intellectual "game" of sorts. Where they win if they can talk you in to doing something. Them playing their game justifies them doing it. Because to them it's just a game. A game most people lose. Just another way they try to prove to themselves how "superior" and grandiose they are. Because if they can get you to do something, then they must be better than you. Right? But when you no longer play in to their games. They might get a bit offended. Everything they do is a game that you never know you're playing. So that way they never lose. But when you become an active participant, their chances of winning drastically decline

[@Sniperboy5551]

I wouldn’t consider him an anti-hero, he’s just a vigilante who does what the justice system is too scared to do. He’s a hero until he stops following his code.

He described administrative leave as "suspension on full pay, usually when corruption is being investigated". You dont leave Officers 'in situ' then, as they're potentially going to be criminally charged & could use the time at work to try & cover their tracks .
