Fuckin-A, Julia Stiles, doing one hell of job, I hope she wins an award for this.
Okay, so, First Off. Is bad cop actually going to dig something up on Lumen that Dex couldn’t find. Everything he’s found so far, IMO, points towards Dex having a new girlfriend…up until that boat scene. Speaking of which, I have my doubts about those pictures. I have a hard time believing he took those pictures, in that (low) light with that long of lens and no tripod (and the boat was moving) and they aren’t a big blurry mess of nothing.
I really wanted Lumen to put her hands on the knife with Dexter.
I’m surprised Dexter wants to take out Jordan based on him saying “Tick tick tick” IIRC, the mysterious killer didn’t say ‘tick tick tick’ it was just the sound of his watch.
What else?
Oh, what did the guard (Cole?) say?
I’ll think of more later, this is just my initial rambling.
In response to who the other guys were: “Huey, Dewie, and Louie”. (Ducktails, Wooo-oo!)
He also said “that’s the sound of your life running out” or whatever the quote was, but it was exactly what Lumen said the Watch Guy said.
All that aside, this was a great episode. Lumen and Dexter were quite engaging, and I enjoyed the subplots. I really hope LaGuerta gets fired by the end of the season, the bitch. She’s had it coming for a long time.
I’m guessing that she won’t get fired, but Deb will. On paper, she’s the one that fucked everything up this time. I also won’t be surprised if Angel goes down with her. Actually now that I think about it. I could see Angel backing up Deb (and leaving Maria) and they both get their jobs back. Possibly Deb get’s Maria’s job and she’s out on her ass. Especially if other officers say (or it was recorded) that Deb told everyone not to move and attempted to convince Maria that what she was doing was wrong, but Maria still chose to override Deb.
Is Quinn still paying that guy for info? It sounded like he didn’t want to anymore, but he was still out spying. I’m not sure if he’s going to bring this information back to Quinn and try to get more money out of him by threatening to tell Deb or if he’s just doing it out of curiosity at this point. Maybe he’ll blackmail Dexter with this.
I’m thinking Dexter’s best bet is just to say that him and Lumen are dating. Maybe he could say that the stuff they threw overboard was Lumen’s wedding dress or some other stuff from a past life as she’s trying to move on.
He may have said he’s going to, and I have every reason to believe he plans to do it, but as of him saying that, I don’t think he’s actually done anything other then say he’s going to do it. He still has to write his report and turn it in to Maria, it’ll probably end his marriage, Maria doesn’t exactly surround herself with people that disagree with her.
So, yeah, I’m 90% sure he will back her story, but he could change his mind and decide he would rather save his marriage and his job…Is IA still investigating him?
It would wrap it up very nicely if everything they said on the radio was recorded. Angel and Deb don’t get in trouble and Maria becomes the public scapegoat.
Fair enough. I guess I was just a bit confused by your wording. I think he’s going to go through with it, for what it’s worth. I think Batista established in the last episode that he thinks LaGuerta will do just about anything to stay in power, and that disgusts him.
Also, I’m pretty sure the IA storyline is wrapped up.
I think Peter Weller’s character is on the “goner by finale” list. I wonder if Jordan Chase might be innocent though since he’s so obviously guilty; does anybody remember exactly what he said to Cole in the car about Boyd being the key suspect?
Anyone notice the Nazi salute homage during the [del]rally[/del] seminar?
I thought Dex was going to give Lumen the honor of pushing the knife but, nope. He will have some explaining to do to the hotel about the broken door frame. I’m assuming it was still able to shut as I don’t think Dexter would risk killing with a semi open door.
My wife and I were watching the scenes with the camera, and called BS! I assume low-light telephoto lenses exist, but you’d need a lens the size of the ones pro photographers use at sporting events, or a military budget.
LaGuerta is a scheming bitch that needs to go down in a ball of flame. Perhaps she will be tied to the murders of the Jordan Chase Crew.
I’m also thinking that those five people in the pic (The dentist, boyd, and the others) were some Outward Bound crew, or perhaps enlistees in the military.
Not only BS on the camera but also BS that Dexter would be dumping the bodies that close to the harbour.
Also possibly BS - how come Lumen didn’t recognise Chase’s voice? She recognised the first one by hs smell, ferchrist’s sake. Or was it that Chase never actually said anything, just held his watch to her ear?
And LaGuerta really is a ruthess career bitch - remember when she deliberately seduced her replacement’s boyfriend to undermine her? That was cold.
Maybe it turns out that LaGuerta is a Jordan Chase acolyte!
I think it’s odd that Dex is convinced about Chase, considering we know that the other guys in the gang (well at least Boyd) listen to Chase’s self-help tapes, and repeat his mantras. Why would you assume that the “tick tick tick” mantra isn’t used by someone else?
I thought a couple of seasons ago, Dexter had a scare with one of his body dumps being discovered, so he moved his drop point further out, to somewhere in the Gulf Stream. I imagine that this is miles out, and that Dirty Cop wouldn’t be able to photograph Dexter in his boat from shore.
Presumably, though, he’s not going to go off and kill Jordan Chase immediately, but to investigate him and verify that he’s actually involved. Remember when Lumen had captured the dentist? He was ready to let him go (because the dentist had Dexter convinced he was innocent) until the dentist made it clear that he was involved.
I think it was edited a weird way but what was actually happening was that the PI took photos of them with the suitcases getting on to the boat, and then later getting off of it. Not impossible from a hidden place near the dock. But the editing made it seem like he was taking pictures of them on the boat, dumping the body parts, which i don’t think was actually happening because, you know, pretty much impossible.
He flipped through the pictures, I thought we saw pictures of him doing the actual dumping. I’ll have to rewatch it if no one else can verify, but I thought that we at least saw a picture of the head (bowling ball bag) being thrown overboard.
I agree with **AutumnLeaves **about the editing. It was done in an intentionally misleading way because after Lumen dumped a bag, she was talking to Dexter. That scene ended with Lumen standing and Dexter sitting, which appeared to match frames 36-40 (out of 40) in the PI’s camera. He then shuffled forward to frame 1, which was Lumen and Dexter getting on the boat with suitcases. He kept shuffling past frame 20, which was still Lumen and Dexter loading the boat. So, I suspect frames 36-40 just coincidentally looked like the end of Lumen’s conversation with Dexter.
I’m getting tired of actively trying to suspend disbelief for this series. In the beginning it was many sure whatever, not likely but the plot’s good enough.
Now I’m begging them please end this before I just stop watching.
So they are in a hotel and someone literally kicked the door in, splinters exploding and everything. No one in the hotel noticed this? Staff never walked by and wondered why the door was hanging off the hinges? Did he stop by Home Depot sometime while he was murdering that guy to pick up a new doorjamb and install it? Do hotels frequently ignore damage like that done by guests?
