Ok so I’m not imagining Quinn’s turning into a skeleton?

Maybe Dexter is slowly poisoning him.

I really like Colin Hanks so I am thrilled to see that he will be making an appearance. Other actors I would kill (zing!) to see on _Dexter:_

Elias Koteas  
Garret Dillahunt  
Will Patton  
Terry Kinney  
David Morse  
Henry Rollins  
Adam Baldwin

Good list! I endorse it. Choice #1 for me would be Dillahunt.

No. It’s getting to the level of Fi in Burn Notice, where you just want to throw cakes at them rather than focus on whatever it is they’re doing on screen. There’s naturally slim and naturally skinny, and then there’s those guys. I hope he gets well again soon.

Nope, the first thing that pops up when you type his name into google is “desmond harrington weight loss”. But it’s just a bunch of people asking WTF is up with his skinniness so no help there.

It looks more like illness thinness than just overdoing it at the gym though.

I thought the last season was awful, but I’ve been a massive fan up until that though. Apparently there were some shenanigans with the writers that have now been solved, so I’m hopeful for season 7!

It’s not just Quinn’s weight loss, it’s his unnatural orange color. I know that Michael Landon turned orange when he was battling pancreatic cancer because he turned to juicing and overdid it with the carrots. I’m wondering if he’s either ill or turned to some wacky carrots-only diet.

I love the show, but agree that they should end it before it gets too ridiculous.
