So, I've been reading some of the comments on here, and I was mostly thinking "well, people on message boards tend to be overly critical anyway." So I caught up on Dexter over the past two days.
And Holy. Friggin. Crud.
Why in god's name would the writers make these characters SO INCREDIBLY stupid? I mean, seriously, it's been a clusterfudge of idiotic decisions. From Vogel suddenly wanting to try and help her son, to Hannah bringing Harrison into the urgent care without even trying to friggin disguise herself (let alone call...oh I don't know, maybe Deb or her friend who friggin lives in Miami and practically worships her) to Dexter being a class one idiot and LEAVING HIS FRIGGIN KNIVES RIGHT NEXT TO THE HOMICIDAL KILLER.
And then lets get started on the random character personality changes. Deb all of sudden never lost her feelings for Quinn, despite that never being hinted at once, Hannah never liked killing, despite it being shown last season that she was the one who killed people in an overly aggressive way and then blamed all the killing on her boyfriend who did time for it, let's introduce a subplot of the PI having feelings for Deb...only for it to go absolutely nowhere, and while we're at it, let's introduce a slew of plots that go nowhere, like Dex having an apprentice or the Matsuka daughter thing.
I mean, SERIOUSLY! The only reason I'm this ticked off is because this show was so goddamn brilliant at one point. I hold S1 and S4 up there as some of the best seasons of television ever. It's incredibly disheartening to see this show go out on such a low, and poorly written note.
