That’s one thing that drove me nuts about the chase. Dexter is in extremely good condition. She’s battling a fever and has lost a lot of blood over the last few days he should have caught up in about 10 seconds. It wasn’t so bad when it was cutting between the two so you could pretend she had a huge headstart but when it showed them both running. :smack:
Also to echo what others have been saying Dexter was complaining about his abandoned kill room when he took out animal control guy. He must have moved her there as he could secure it. It’s hard to see but I think there was some metal mesh over some of the windows. It seemed to be latticework for vines to grow on no doubt someone like Doakes would have punched his way through it but it might have been too much for her.
[useless trivia] Julia Stiles’ character in the Bourne series is the only one that appears in all three movies ( other than Bourne himself).[/useless trivia]
I don’t have a problem with her not being able to break down the door because she was so weak. And the windows had bars on them. My biggest problem is that Dexter never seems to sleep!
I wish he’d have been seen giving Lumen a pillow and a blanket and some food. And some water to clean up with. I mean, geesh, what kind of knight-in-shining is he?
If I had to choose between a car full of drunk, horny frat boys and a man chasing me wielding a knife, I’m going with the frat boys. That whole segment seemed completely contrived and I think the storyline would have been better served leaving them out altogether.
I think Quinn has serious feeling for Deb and even though he’ll eventually figure out what’s going on with Dexter, eventually his love for her will allow him to let Dexter off. Surely they can’t kill off yet another one of Deb’s lovers.
I’m thinking that the nanny might come from an abusive situation.
The baby who plays Harrison is absolutely adorable, though I wish they’d quit having his mom (or whoever) smiling at him off-stage because when he reacts, it makes him look a little schizophrenic.
That didn’t make much sense to me either. If I were in her position, being chased by Dex (who, as far as I know, could be one of the guys that was holding me hostage) I’d have dove right through the open window while yelling “DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE”. I’m guessing she’s going to have some sort of deep seated fear of men/teens/groups of guys/crowded cars, something to do with her attackers.
So what’s your guess on Lumen’s back story, how Dead Animal Guy found her? Didn’t she say something to Dexter like “You’re not going to sell me, are you?” And DAG said “I’m putting them out of their suffering!”
I’m thinking sex slavery. She did say, “Are you going to sell me?” and then later said that Boyd wasn’t her only one. So I’m thinking that there’s an underground network that sells women.
As far as putting them out of their suffering, I’m wondering if she was possibly a prostitute.
Yeah, either that makes no sense at all or there’s something else going on there that we haven’t been told yet. Based on the super-slo-mo from Lumen’s POV when they drive by, I’m guessing there’s something else going on. (At first I thought she was having some sort of fever hallucination or something.) Also, she said that Dead Animal Guy wasn’t the first to “do this” to her, so I suspect the writers are dropping these things in as foreshadowing for some reveal later on.
Unless I missed something, she has a mom and dad (as indicated in the letter), but Dexter made up the husband and kid thing for the sake of getting her luggage from the hotel.
Hey, I have a question I forgot about earlier. Dexter scanned her fingerprint and said that she had a completely clean record, not even a parking ticket, so why did scanning her fingerprint yield any results? Other than teachers (in NH, anyway) do any other groups of non-criminals regularly get fingerprinted? I know I had my fingerprints taken when I was five for a program intending to keep them in case kids get kidnapped, but I seriously doubt that any police station can access those like they can (?) the ones I had done for the school systems I worked for.
Okay, rewatched that part. The DL was from MN and didn’t have a fingerprint. I’m not sure why it pulled her up. She must have been fingerprinted for something at some point. Could very well be something non-crime related.
Does this technology exist anywhere outside TV Land – scanning a fingerprint instantly identifies someone, gives you a picture of their driver’s license, and a copy of a motel bill?
They can also take surveillance footage and zoom in to a very small area without losing any resolution. Oh, and all cell phones show the callers name in giant block letters.
So not instant, but close. I guess for extra realism, they could’ve had Dexter stare at a progress bar for ten minutes, but thats not exactly thrilling TV.
