While I liked Johnny Lee Miller as Eli Stone, he makes a really good bad guy.

Ok, I agree that Julia Stiles isn't hot. But I don't think she's grotesque either. She's just average. I think she's better looking than Jennifer Carpenter and at least has a more femine body.

Dexter taking his sweet ass time putting a drop of blood on the slide leading to Jordan noticing his locker door not fully closed. You would figure the first thing he'd do is to ensure everything with Jordan's locker looks normal and then take care of the other stuff. Did he really need to put the blood on the slide right then? Couldn't he have just left it in the syringe and do the slide thing at a later time?

Anyways, this season just got more interesting.

More like, people who find Sarah (who LOOKS like 14) attractive, also find Christina (who last night looked at least 14) attractive.

Except that I'm not attracted to either of them. I guess if you haven't read the Modern Family thread you lose all the context.

And of course, my mistake for asking that question here instead of in the MF thread. Duh!

Stiles has got the kind of face that can be anywhere from a 3 to a 10 in pictures. I think she's been looking pretty good on the show.

It's good to see that Miami Homicide isn't completely useless. The show works a lot better when Dexter's dancing around ongoing investigations.

I'm not sure what Jordan's plan is but tipping off Dexter and Lumen that he's on to them doesn't seem like a good start. Although the fact that his crew preserved their splooge soaked victims doesn't say a lot for their facilities for planning.

The good thing about Weller's character is that after every one of his scenes the killing sequence in Robocop is just a little easier to stomach. By the end of the series perhaps it will give me chubby like emo Astor does for Raul.

Which reminds me, the girl who played Astor's friend is 18 so if your watching this ep and you switch to her when you hit the vinegar strokes then it's kosher.

Did anyone catch up that Mazuka was checking Casual Encounters in Craigslist?

Oh, and what I really don't understand are the comments dissing Julia Stiles, she IS a hot blonde. Thank you. :P

(Although I agree that her face can go from 3 to 10 in pictures)

Yeah, that was my beef with this episode.
Spoiler:

Also, Jordan tipping off Lumen --- what was that about?

I generally find Stiles attractive, but every once in a while she'll make a certain face and I catch a glimpse of Meredith from The Office.

It really seems that shit is going to hit the fan in the coming weeks. This season has completely turned around from the slowness in the middle of the season.

The only issue I have is that this season is once again headed to the point where everyone gets really close to finding out about Dexter only to have a deus ex machina ending where Dexter slips away unnoticed yet again.

I read that thread and there's a big difference between a 20 year old that looks 14 (which isn't really true, she looks a whole lot more like the 18 year old college freshmen I used to see a few years ago) then a 13 year old that looks like a 13 year old. So I don't really understand the point you were trying to make either.

I agree here. Stiles is pretty attractive. As if the keyboard pimps here could do any better.

You don't need to spoil events in this episode.

I love when Dexter said Harrison would not recognize Astor because of her racoon face.

God damn, I can't wait for next week. That look intense. I guess Jordan Chase is just a cocky asshole tipping Lumen off. He better hope his security team is good enough.

Stiles' face looks like it got hit with a waffle iron.

In next week's episode, they enter the building a la Matrix style and shoot up everyone.

Was watching MNF last night, and noticed how eeriliy similar Josh McDaniels and Jonny Lee Miller can look:

And now it gets good. Quinn and Robocop will probably both meet their end and I think Lumen will survive.

I hope Lumen survives the season. Having back-to-back seasons where the woman Dexter is trying to protect gets killed feels like too much. Let Dexter have a relatively happy ending this season. Unlike other characters that have learned Dexter's secret, there's no need to kill Lumen to have the series go on. She could be written off next season by just having her return home (Dexter's secret seems safe with her). Or they could make her part of the cast. I like how Dexter has, for the first time since his adoptive father, someone he can be completely honest with.

And I agree - I don't see how Robocop comes out of this alive. And if there has to be a "tragic" character death, Quinn fits the bill.

Good episode...

I think Quinn will take out Liddy.

Lumen will probably die by the hands of Jordan before Dexter takes him out. I don't see her surviving this season. I had read somewhere she's only in 10 of this season's episodes.

I wish I had someone like Dexter beat the crap out of my Dad for me...

She wasn't in the first two episodes, was she? If she's only in 10 that would keep her in through the rest of the season.

Spoiler:
Judging by the preview for next week, it looks like they'll probably take out Chase with Liddy being a witness to it. The remainder of the season (all two episodes of it) will likely be spent wrapping things up with Quinn, Liddy, Deb, etc.


Still have NO clue on how the Lumen thing will end up. It would seem fairly repetitive if she were to be killed, and her just going back home after all this would seem a bit strange. I'm expecting some kind of twist in that storyline where she's not 100% what she seems to be.

Also wonder what the big deal with the vial of blood is going to be. They have enough tangible evidence against Chase to dispatch him without much worry of him being "innocent," so there's got to be something fairly major going on with that aspect.
