Synopsis:



Episode 5 of 12

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

Probably the best episode this season thus far in my opinion. Next week looks like its going to be crazily intense!

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

Robocop!

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

:lol: I thought it was him too but wasn't quite sure then I saw his name in the credits.

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

It's funny cause I spotted Peter Weller in motel scene with Laguerta but then I didn't think they would bring him in just for that scene and voila there he is in a totally cliched villain scene with Quinn.

Pretty solid episode.

Hearing those words come out of his voice....jarring!

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

eh

I'm not on board with next weeks storyline. Seems re-hashed again for Dexter. Especially if

"There's nothing wrong with my son" :thumbsup:

Thos.

The other baby crying and pointing at Harrison was hilarious.

Another actor better than "Astor". ;)

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

I know! I wanted to punch those catty bitches!

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

:whofart:

I thought it was one of the worst episodes of the series.

- The An-hel/LaGuerta storyline is horrible and took way too much of the episode
- Dexter drugging Brunner in the middle of a sex offender colony and somehow dragging the body out unnoticed
- Dexter and Lumen talking loudly in public about murdering people
- Dexter telling Lumen his real name
- Everything else about the Lumen storyline

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

The only problem I have with the Lumen storyline is the fact her name is Lumen, like writing with a damn sledgehammer.

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

To be fair, after two seasons of this they've finally found a way to tie it back to the main story.

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

This part bugged me. I turned to my wife and said "They need a code word or a more private place to talk."

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

Am I the only one who finds letting a big rainbow sheet fall on top of a bunch of babies somewhat cruel? Maybe if they were a bit older it wouldn't be a big deal, but at their current age how could it not feel like they were being trapped in some way? It's been a long time since I was Harrison's age, so perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about.

Oh, and to the writers:

You SERIOUSLY have to eighty-six the Angel and LaGuerta crap. Stop trying to make it more interesting with the sting stuff - you've already blown it. Just drop it and move along. You do a measly 12 episodes a year; filler shouldn't even enter the equation, at least in these quantities.

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

I'll say it again, the phones in the Dexter universe must be the simplest things on the planet. And LaGuerta actually uses it as a planner/calendar?

In addition, Dexter has the Fingerprint database software on his home computer...a little convenient, though he's had it since the beginning.

And yeah, the fact that her name is Lumen....way too obvious.

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

... except for earlier this season, where Dexter had to sneak something into evidence in order to get someone else to analyze the fingerprint on it for him.

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

The episode was okay. The funniest part was when Debbie turned to Vince in the tattoo parlor and said "She likes needles; show her your dick." The look on his face was priceless. LOL

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

Yeah this part sort of bugged me too I wish they had shown how he got out of there with him, but whatever its a show after all not everything can be realistic.

I agree on this too but its not the first time its happened. Happened a couple times in season 3 with Miguel as well. I think the reason they do it like this though is from the Lumen characters perspective she probably would want to meet in a public place yet they probably want to keep the sound loud enough so the audience can hear it clearly. I'm guessing its not intended to be like they are just casually talking about it in public but more done for our sake of hearing the conversation.

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

I remember at that age, the horror of my mom being able to disappear just by moving her hands, and then by moving them again, there she was!

Needless to say, I now have deep relationship issues.

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

I had on idea they were bringing this guy in to spy on Dexter:

Regarding Dexter's database searches, wouldn't there be a record of all his searches tied directly to his name that could be viewed by his bosses if someone was so inclined?

I agree it was a slow episode but I'm liking the Lumen stuff and the tension with Quinn.

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

Dang, that guy has some freaky ass long fingers. -eek-

Isn't he dead?

Re: Dexter -- "First Blood" -- 10/24/10
 

Solid episode, one of the best of the season. Although I was hoping Lumen would leave, her character bugs me.
