A mate of mine has been on the homicide team as a detective for darn near 30 years. and I have a psychology background myself, even though I work construction, lol. There are just to many holes in the show.
Aye I have watched many episodes along our other friend who I would say is more then your normal fan. But then again he is a nurse who fills out paper work all day and places pills in a cup, he needs excitement ;)

Oh, I don't think anyone expects it to be accurate as far as forensics or whatnot go. It's just fun entertainment. Kinda like how CSI stretches the limits of suspense of disbelief sooooo much, but I still have to keep watching it. Guilty pleasure!

Honestly mate I can not talk, I used to shame my wife for watching shows like Jersey Shore, but she sucked me into those crappy reality TV shows. So for pure entertainment value, great.
I think it is just hard cause a couple beers later my nurse buddy will spend hours arguing over how it is so accurate with the two of us.
I say, DUDE! your almost 40 take the Dextor poster off the wall man. O.o
I just feel like the show has gone beyond the realm of believable reactions. Dexter getting all upset about his son getting ill in the flash of like one episode. Dexter's relationship with the "baddie gone good" was too rushed, in my opinion.
The villains of this season are just too.. Ugh. I hated how the younger villain meets up with some random chick then all of a sudden - BOOM, she's taken and the dude doesn't care.
The use of CG is pissing me off - the snakes, the locusts, ugh.
I will say that the latest episode's ending made me smile though. It was good to see "Bynie" again and I hope that Dexter continues to fall into the "dark side" to a point where he can't control himself and thus get caught.
It won't stop me from watching until the end of the season/series, but I don't think this season is on par with the Dexter I normally enjoy. I felt that Season 1 was a very strong season, from beginning to end. Season 2 was too predictable. The rest seemed to fall in between the production standards of the first and second season. But this season just feels like it's produced/written poorer than Season 2.
I'm sure Deb's love for Dex is going to be pushed to the limit right off the bat learning of his secret. But if anything they'll likely be either bonnie and cylde in time for season 7 or they'll be thrown into a hairy situation with that gamer guy that forces the gravity of the situation to be put off to the side temporarily.
Though I will say I think the first season is still my favorite.
Something about learning his methods of madness and having his past dug up to bloody up his reality was really intriguing to me.
Especially with the hand thing. If he's as smart as they make him out to be, he's likely to dig up all of Dexter's past secrets via his tech nerdiness and sneaky methods. Also he seemed almost... insanely inspired by Dexter. Not enough to know what he does, but once he gets the idea, what better way to idolize or revere someone than to become their greatest adversary?

I won't dismiss it entirely, but chances are it was just filler. It would be cool though if they went that route.
No offense, but I think they did give the Gamer Guy more attention than a regular filler role. His fixation on Dexter in the last episode should show this.

Here's hoping you prove me wrong. But remember last season's thing with Quinn. They definitely didn't go anywhere with that this season.
Quinn's role was that of a background character at best.
Things I didn't like about this season:
Dexter: "did you guys go in yet?"
Batista: "no we were waiting for you"
I mean really guys...this allowed Dexter to conveniently have time to knock his demonic mural face in
you mean really? not even the police went in..Dex is just the blood splatter guy...so really!?
also, Dexter and his pieces of boat washing up on shore after "falling off his boat" which occurred coincidentally around the same time as the police received images of a fire at sea and no bodies were found. I mean it may still be kind of a stretch to make because nobody has any reason to suspect Dexter of anything but still....this kind of bothered me. Though I liked the scene of Dexter and Travis on the boat.
Also the Deb/Dex thing..At first I made the same "omg ew ew" face that I did in theaters when I saw the Spock/Uhura thing
but it wasnt as shocking as when I heard that Deb/Dex were married/divorced in real life.
now its kinda growing on me cause I wanted to know what kind of weird and awkward scenes this would put them in.
but now thats kind of ruined cause Deb caught Dexter serial killing.
Also the extra characters are just getting on my nerves. Holy Crap LaGuerta was a terrible person. Quinn was a terrible person too. I just wanted all the extra characters to go away. All I cared about were Deb, Dex and Dexters poor abused baby sitter (whom Im surprised isnt dead)
Things that I liked about this season:
Crazy Dexter. I liked Crazy Dexter. He had lots of opportunities to go nuts. His bff was killed. He went on a random out of town crazy spree. He couldnt kill the guy he really really really wanted to kill. Harrison was kidnapped. I could feel Dexters frustration mounting.
Love how the final 2 words of the season were "Oh god" as the season was so based around religion.
I love daddy dexter. He's so adorable.
Tom Hanks' son I thought did a really good job as a villain.
The cliff hanger that we all knew was going to happen eventually kinda really saved the season because everybody hates the deb/dex thing. Now everybody is forced to tune in for the next season to see how Deb is going to react.

That first thing, I was like wtf too. I mean really?!
