Ooooh, yeah... Deb can be so annoyingly morally superior that it hadn't occurred to me until I read this. Even when she kept Hannah from bleeding to death, she had to make a moral lesson out of it. But then this season has been all about Deb struggling with her ethics, so poisoning herself to get the "right" outcome would make for a great twist...or a natural progression.

Interesting that Dex let Deb have Hannah, instead of killing her himself. Maybe it was, to paraphrase Hannah, a punishment worse than death, and that's why he did it... or maybe the producers of the show just don't want to show Dexter killing a woman. They haven't shown it for the first 6 seasons (anyone else notice that?), and they're not going to start it now.

LaGuerta's set-up- I didn't see that coming. I knew she wouldn't let the investigation/vendetta drop, but she's been so bumbling about it up until now. (oh, and whatever happened to the creepy computer game/lab nerd subplot? I was sure that the blood left on Dex's boat would come back to bite him by now.) Anyway, well played, LaGuerta.

Well played indeed.

And I don't think he killed Hannah because he really does love her. But I hadn't realized about the trend of not killing a woman. You're right there. hmmmm

Whoops, I'm wrong! He killed that crazy-ass gf he had in Season 3, I think it was... he had to go to Paris to do it. But I don't recall seeing the whole plastic wrap and plunging knife bit. Maybe it was there, and every bit as graphic as the male deaths... in which case that probably says more about me than the show. Hmm!

Oh man yeah, I forgot about her. The one that set the apartment on fire, right? But I don't think it showed it either.

Gah!! I had to go find it, it was killing me. Har Har.

I was thinking they didn't show it because it would be harder to keep the audience sympathetic to him. But nope, they show it. And while the rest of his kills are cold and sterile, this one's really quite intimate, like a goodbye kiss. God, I love this show.

I watched the previews for next week and I think I need to invent a time machine! I HAVE to know what's going to happen...the suspense is killing me! And I'm wondering about this past episode...did Hannah REALLY spike Deb's water?? I tend to think she's not that stupid.

Didn't he also kill the nurse that was making his dad sicker?

Nice call, yes! Dexter's first victim. I guess my memory gaps on female victims really does say more about me than the show...

There are dexter reruns being shown on showtime 2. (Friday nights from 9 pm to 1 am.) And the new season starts this summer. I watched a show last night and I know that I have missed quite a few of them. I wish that showtime would have a marathon. Preferably this week cause I may just be able to fit it in.
