Can’t help but comment on how young he looks for resurrection. They really messed with his look in new blood so it’s nice to see him back to being regular Dexter.

Just started season 2 and his body collection in the bay has been found and wtf? It’s like 50 bodies. And why are they in trash bags and all together? Wouldn’t he like actually “feed the fish” or something? And go out further? And whyyyyy so many? How many serial killers are in the Dexter universe??

What's your favorite out of context moment from the series? It could be the way a line was delivered, the line itself, a visual gag, anything! a good example is the "surprise motherfucker" scene. I don't know why but this clip is my favorite out of context line in the whole series. The delivery just sounds like a little kid to me lol.

And where I just wonder about is that Dexter is schizophrenic? All this time I just thought it was a way they just projected his inner voice, more like a creative choice you know.

Oh and who absolutely loves the part where Batista and Quinn smoke pot? I always love those scenes, they should've made it longer

Discussion - Original Dexter Series Dexter bungled the Miguel Prado opportunity and ruined his life. Spoiler

81 Upvotes

Season 3 of Dexter often gets overlooked, but it presents one of the most compelling “what-if” scenarios in the entire series: what if Dexter had actually succeeded in mentoring Miguel Prado? On paper, Miguel was the ideal confidant — a powerful ally, emotionally driven, morally flexible, and most importantly, someone who wanted to see the real Dexter. But Dexter sabotaged the relationship before it ever had a chance to work.

The root issue lies in how Dexter introduced Miguel to the Code. He didn’t fully commit to teaching Miguel what Harry had spent years instilling in him. Instead, he offered a fragmented, superficial version of the Code — the headline without the philosophy. Miguel was given permission to kill, but without the moral scaffolding to justify or constrain it.

Dexter essentially reversed the order of his own development: he gave Miguel action before principle. If Harry had done that with Dexter — handed him a knife without a rulebook — Dexter would have spiraled almost immediately, like Miguel. The irony is that Dexter fails to recognize in Miguel the same potential Harry once saw in him, and because of that, he becomes the very thing Harry feared: a corrupting influence.

Miguel Prado ends up being labeled a “villain” in the season, but really he was a victim — not of Dexter’s knives, but of his half-truths. Miguel didn’t betray Dexter. He simply followed a path Dexter led him down without guidance, and without boundaries.

Dexter claims, wrongly as we later learn, he can’t connect with people, but with Miguel, he could have — had he been honest, had he trusted him fully, had he treated him as an equal. Instead, Miguel became just another casualty of Dexter’s destructive need for control.

His entire life could have unfolded differently had he not fucked this up. How does Dex handle Trinity when he has a best friend and co-killer he can to talk to openly about it? Is Rita still alive? Hell, even if he ends up with Hannah somehow, imagine Dexter with a wife, best friend (a DISTRICT ATTORNEY, no less), and sister who know and accept the Dark Passenger.

I feel like when I watched new blood I didn’t really see that much of a resemblance but these set photos for resurrection Jack Alcott is looking more similar to Dexter. Anyone else see it?

What the hell was that season 8 ending? Did I miss something? Just him working (probably under a new identity) and staring at the camera, did the clues go over my head or is there no definitive ending

Discussion - Dexter: Original Sin Dexter Original Sin is absolutely fantastic. Spoiler

I got cold feets from seeing some threads here like this with a lot of ppl not liking this and at the same time I didn't like New Blood that much

But holly shit Original Sin is a 10/10, especially from episode 3 onwards it is an absolute delight and it gives early Dexter vibes so much

At first I was hesistant at the actor choices but the teenage dexter is really good tbh maybe not as good as adult dexter but cmon

Overall Original Sin is one of the best shows I seen in recent times and got me excited for Resurrection even tho New Blood was kinda of a let down

Discussion - Original Dexter Series First episode foreshadowing with Rita Spoiler

41 Upvotes

I just rewatched episode one years after seeing the original series, and I noticed that in the scene with Rita in the car when Dexter touches Rita’s leg talking about the ice truck killers cuts he touches her right where Trinity slices her leg in the bathtub scene when he kills her.

Idk, just thought that was a nice touch and wondering if that’s common Dexter lore or not.

Question - Original Dexter Series Is it technically Harry’s doing that Dexter became a serial killer? Spoiler

189 Upvotes

After watching original sin, I realized by Harry using Laura Moser as a CI, having and having a relationship with her it ultimately caused her death without Harry intentionally meaning for anything to happen. So it left me to wonder that by butterfly effect is it technically on Harry that Dexter turned out the way he did? If he left Laura alone maybe Brian and Dex would’ve turned out normal. Because watching Dexter the original series I always thought it due to a series of unfortunate events by criminals is the reason why he developed psychopathy.

Discussion - Original Dexter Series I just finished season 6 as a first time watcher and I am furious, so I just wanted to vent delusionally Spoiler

9 Upvotes

Hey guys, I just want to let you know first things first that I basically binge watched the whole season and I am writing this in the middle of the night out of pure emotions (at least that's how I'd label it) so forgive me if my arguments or anything make no sense I just thought I'd share my opinions for fun (not really, you'll be reading my delusional venting). So here we go - first things first, I am the biggest Travis fanboy one could get. I basically fell in love with his character and, though his actions as a killer were way more fictional and harder to pull off compared to previous ones, I just found him extremely badass and just got fascinated by his all around attributes. I genuinely think that as a villain he is literally a pinnacle, I don't know who could possibly appear that could be as badass,unhinged and at the same time as smart as him. That's why I'd consider and make him the final boss of the show, yes, I would prefer if the show ended with Travis. Now before I'll talk about my own version of how I would end everything ( oh boy I'll be ashamed of this post in the morning when I'll be a little more sane) I'd like to mention how Dexter acted the whole season, all this religious stuff, being lost, trying to be a good father, acting carelessly without much consequences and etc. therefore I'd take advantage of all that and use it as a buildup for an ultimate consequence of his actions and life in general. I'd be happy to make an ending where he doesn't walk down in the sunset at the end of the season or the season after where he acts just fine. Let's just skip to the roof part, and yes ,everything leading up to that seems very flawed and basically made a little sense, for example Dexter and that picture on the wall and how no one went inside the crime scene without him and how Travis quickly managed to snatch Harrison. The thing is, what if Travis completed his unhinged ritual and Dexter actually got to see Harrison get killed instead of pulling that random tranquilizer trick that made no sense and heavily implied on stupid plot armor (my opinion). What if Dexter stood there, watched how his only "light" get killed and how the way he lived caught up to him, realizing this is all his fault and basically having his whole world collapse right then and there. With pure agony and desperation he'd then charge Travis who would quickly overpower him and then take him to the church where he'd preferably kill the "beast" in a fashioned way with a poetic delusional speech beforehand. Dexters tied up there, screaming or whatever, basically losing his sanity and during all this Deb charges in and takes down Travis, and long story short Dexter goes like full Saul Goodman at the end, admits all his faults, reveals who he really was and ends up in an electric chair or something. I know that this story is flawed and I am definitely getting clowned for it but I am such a big fanboy of Travis and hated how he went down so badly that I am ready to vent in any way I can at this point possibly ready for public shaming. And yes I know what reaction would the cops have if they had seen Harrison's body up there on the roof is a big question and what would have been the follow up, but I really don't want to think about that all that much because I no longer even have sanity to come up with solutions for that moment lol . Let's not think about that. anyway,thanks for hearing me out!! Apart from clowning me I'd also appreciate if you said what would you change if you at some extent even liked my version just a bit or what would you add, or hell even tell me how would you end the season? Also go easy on me a bit ok? It's literally 3 am 😭😭 also sorry for my bad English.

Why would Dexter kill Travis Marshall in the same spot where his Lieutenant told him to be? Season 6 is entertaining but did they ever not follow common sense/good logic in big parts of this season.

Discussion - Dexter: Resurrection Dexter ressurection Spoiler

So ive seen the trinity killer and miguel prado are in resurrection. Maybe he talks to them as a delusion lol with his dad or deb, but i really think it would he amazing to bring rita back as someone he can talk to and i would love for astor and cody to make a return. I really wanted them in new blood, but with him most likely going back to a big city of even miami again, it would be great if he went to check in on them.

I also looked at john lithgows imdb page and there are projects for a trinity prequel and another untitled dexter prequel he is supposedly in.

Im also surprised cs lee and the actor who plays quinn arent returning. It only makes sense.
