i haven't felt the same way about dexter since S4, but this season promises some interest. i will be fairly disgusted if dexter winds up learning from, half-trusting, anti-framing, and killing these villains though.

Hoping that Mos Def is awesome, because he usually is in everything he plays a role in.
Premiere was good, but yeah, I'm wary of the whole "let me learn from these religious guys before I realize I shouldn't learn from them and then I kill them".
because that is the easy way out and dexter proved last season they have absolutely no problem with being as vanilla as possible
I don't think there's going to be a character that Dexter gets close to this season. They've already done the "Dexter brings someone into the kill room" thing twice with Lumen and Miguel. I think these villains have enough promise that we can just get a season arc where they chase down a killer like Season 1.

You'd think that this would be true...
and then you remember what they did in Season 5 where it was basically parts of Seasons 1-4 thrown together, with ultimately no consequences to it...
I love the completely nonchalant divorce that happened over the break. Of course it brings to an end one of the crappiest plotlines the show has ever had, so I can dig it.

From: blindhobo13 | #009 Thankfully Angel & LaGuerta split and they even had the courtesy to do it off screen, not wasting any time with that bull****.
Haha yeah I forgot to mention this. I think the writers read message boards or something, since they literally retconned it. When LaGuerta mentioned it in the car with Daniels (is that his name or am I thinking of The Wire), I wasn't even sure she was talking about Batista until he mentioned it again later that episode. I was actually still confused until they had the scene in her office.
a chase-down-the-bad-guy season honestly doesn't appeal that strongly to me at this point. aside from dex making a mistake (usually due to a season 'twist') he's practically godmode in terms of breaking down villains.
the most interesting part of the preview was the note about dexter and deb's relationship but that didn't seem to go anywhere. let's see if quinn's arc and the trinity remnants come back.
