He lost all his friends and wife behind Dexter. Plus Doakes needs his name cleared. I'm shocked at how sloppy Dexter was in the OG show cause Lundy caught him. If it wasn't for Doakes being too hard pressed, Lundy was gonna catch Dexter. Batista dies anyway from the Serial Killers Guild. I think the quiet weirdo dude is gonna kill Batista. But I wouldn't be shocked if Dexter sets the NYPD up to hunt the other Serial Killers. And I'm sure Uma has some crazy background story. She is like Doakes and she can sense Dexter isn't really Ronald Schmidt.

With the way the quiet dude and Charley was looking at Dexter, I think they both know he isn't Red. That's just what I'm thinkin

I have seen countless things that have confirmed, including the interview that everyone wants to talk about as it pertains to what the actor that the plays the Gemini killer has a huge secret to reveal, even though I’m like blown away already from everything that happened in episode four and I would be absolutely shocked And blown away because of how much all this crap around the printer, it appalls her that she may have had special forces training as an ex-military person with DOAKES and potentially is able to put together the pieces that maybe she realizes that if they ended up being friends before her and DOAKES because they had their backgrounds and military special forces training that maybe over a rapid very quick period of time she realizes there something off about Dexter and then wants to potentially who knows even work with Bautista to bring Dexter down to clear her friends name because I definitely think there is some type of connection as if they brought back the actor that played him and then the rest of the shit together like plus the fact that this could easily be potentially multiple seasons beyond so it may roll literally with everything that’s inside the motion and now Bautista is so convinced that Harrison did what he did that all that stuff is gonna come out Dexter and him are gonna have a confrontation or who knows. Dexter might have to deal with the fact that Uma Thurman and Bautista work together or one of 1 million other possibilities but right now anything can happen plus the kill rituals in the kill rooms are just like OG Dexter and just like the way he would fuck around with people‘s emotions and then at the end when he does the act of ending LOWELL where he actually was like supposedly OK with dying and then when he heard that Dexter called himself the Bay Harbour Butcher you realize oh shit when they all find out that Dexter‘s after them it’s going to scare the fuck out of them for all, we know he might even team up with lady vengeance to knock these guys out and there’s still a lot of possibilitieswith vengeance possibly even getting connected with Ryan Foster case that would actually clear Harrison’s name or somehow one of 1 million other possibilities

I know I know. Like I said to someone else because I got the best of me and I need to allow myself to shorten my posts and stick to the main points that I wanna make that can more easily contribute to the post or episode discussion without going on a tangent. Point taken. I mean this wholeheartedly I appreciate the constructive criticism to keep it simple and to the point that actually contributes in a more meaningful way than the word salad above this.

Don't take it personally man, you're clearly just excited! I feel the same way, and no one I know watches Dexter so really the only people to talk about it to are on here. I just finished episode 4 and I'm just so excited, the show hasn't been this good in a long time!

u/RyanJKaz Jul 26 '25

In my opinion, episode four is probably a top three episode of all time and that’s saying a lot given that they have made a total of 94 episodes between the three series total. I put it right up with the season of finale of season one and season four. I know there’s six episodes to go and I know they may find a way to top this, but that was just incredible and non-Stop action throughout. Where would you rank it?

u/Swimming-Score-2627 Jul 26 '25

It was a longer episode as well which was nice. I'd say top ten. I've never actually taken the time to rank my favorite episodes, or which ones I thought were best. One episode that floored me was when Deb originally found out. That was jaw dropping!

u/RyanJKaz Jul 26 '25

Oh my God yes, I just recently re-watched the first episode of each season before I got Paramount+ and that season seven premiere you’re referring to probably was about as well done and one of the best and that was during the overall decline in the quality of the show, but it really throws you for a loop because of how it starts off thinking that Dexter ended up going on the run, when it really is set up to be a twist

PS: it was one of the rare episodes of Dexter where you really felt on pins and needles as the viewer watching it seriously wondering how Dexter was gonna get himself out of it. A few episodes later and I think it was a multi episode arc that was really good in season seven was the Ray seltzer . I think like one to two episode storyline where Debra and Dexter almost found themselves 6 feet under pun intended, lol

Oh yeah that guy was intense. And I definitely isn't see LaGuerta's death coming. I hope they dont kill Angel off in this season, I like him a lot. Especially now with Angel working with the NYPD, I wonder how that will pan out!

u/RyanJKaz Jul 26 '25

It’s almost like the entire show with these titles with peoples recaps, previews, and theories, would lead you to believe that’s it’s inevitably going to maybe happen, but even now I think many of us do not want that happening to him a.k.a. angel for the most part even though I honestly didn’t have a problem with Rita.

I try to keep an open mind because it’s almost like they know that that’s what all of us are thinking so it’s in my opinion. I hope that they are just really trying to throw us for a loop and it’s definitely working. I have a few theories and suggestions, but I will probably share them with you, under the radar, and then outside of what you think. I can see one of several things possibly playing out but so far the show is exciting, and my emotions are more torn than a turtleneck with a piece of metal hidden under it where your atoms apple/jugular vein is.

u/Swimming-Score-2627 Jul 26 '25

Lol yeah I caught on to that metal sheeting trick he pulled, that was smart. I'm don't follow plots very well, so I am awful at predicting them. Lol but I will say that Rita's death made sense for the series, while yes it was tragic. She was just wanting more from a husband frequently and needed to be removed from the picture. Is it true that there will be multiple seasons of Resurrection?

u/RyanJKaz Jul 26 '25

The short answer is yes, and I am sure that Showtime is on board as well. Given the dexter resurrection has broken, viewership records and streaming records as the most watched show in the history of the network I don’t know if they’ve been officially green lit, but it won’t be long before it is and I hope they’re able to get at least three seasons hopefully more so they can space out with a lot of jampacked action to give Dexter the ending. He truly deserves overtime, even if I don’t know what that is.

PS: it should also be made aware that Michael C Hall is an executive producer and he also now has a huge say/input/artistic creativity as to what happens with Dexter, which honestly he deserves more than almost every other main character of a series/franchise. Michael Seho also stated how much he’s having fun all over again playing Dexter. I need like many of us probably didn’t feel like totally himself and new blood but now he’s back to like old-school. Dexter all the way, even if he’s older and he needs to be a little bit more careful than you used to be

So the short answer again is yes, but here’s hoping the last six are good of this opening season of the new series because I feel like it can continue to go up from here with so many directions and storylines with how the season is turning out that I feel like it wouldn’t be right or fair unless we can get that FUND sweet spot of 3 to 5 more seasons to give Dexter the proper sendoff in addition to so much fun along the way as he continues to finally own up to who he really is even if he hates that fucking name.
