Thoughts on "Turning Biminese"
Oct 26 2008, 10:26 PM EDT
Since it was first revealed that Rita was with child, I predicted that she would have a miscarriage, however last week I recanted my prediction and it looks like it was a smart thing to do. Everything turned out "okie-dokie" for Rita and the baby so now I'm fairly sure that this baby is going to happen. It doesn't seem likely that the show will inject ANOTHER miscarriage scare into the show now that we just had one. The only way I can imagine the baby not happening is if Rita is injured badly somehow and in the hospital they'd have to terminate the baby to save Rita (but I don't feel to sure that's going to happen).I'm glad Matsuka dominated Ramon today and sort of "came back". It is sort of sad to see his little character development end already. After one episode, really guys? Deb talking to Freebo's doorman looks like it will guarantee death for that kid. Certainly since it showed the binocular vision of them from far away. Is somebody stalking Deb. Could it be Quinn? Anton? The clips on Showtime.com mention even Ramon as a suspect. I could see that happening. Especially since Miguel and Dexter will be going into business together, it could make it difficult since Dexter may want to kill Ramon if he is some kind of skinning killer. Speaking of which, I predicted since episode one that Miguel would team up with Dexter. Looks like its definitely going to happen, but the only question I have is will Dexter tell Miguel he was THE Bay Harbor Butcher? Poor Deb keeps getting her heart broken. She should probably have a better taste in men. I think that about covers it. La Guerta was lacking majorly in this episode. I predict Dexter and Miguel will start playing it fast and loose together and start getting too comfortable, and by episode ten, I bet Miguel will die (but not by Dexter's hands). 5 out of 5 found this valuable.

OMG. He was so funny! I love him. Matsuka, you are a sexy bitch. LOL. It does seem strange that Anton was in the mix re: that kid. I do wonder if Deb will end saving him and uncover the story and get her shield. That would be cool. And Angel. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him. I hope something happens between him and that vice cop. I think they could have something. If that doesn't work out, He and Deb could get drunk and lay it down. Nah! Don't think I like that idea. Sigh! I can't wait until next week.

Seems like we're definately going to see something between Angel and the vice cop (which was pretty obvious in the episode before, and confirmed in this one with her clearly playing hard to get and wanting him to chase her) and the same goes with Deb and Anton. regardless of whether it who that girl in his room was, it will lead to Deb being a bit pissy and guarded, thus revealing her feelings to him more and leading the way to something there. I'm very weary of this apparent alliance with Prado. I can see him having suspected dexter from the beginning (if he didn't buy dex's excuse as to why he was looking into Oscar after he died) and setting things up so that he could confirm his suspicions and lay a trap to catch him. They've mentioned him running for DA soon, so a high-profile conviction would be just the thing to get him there. Plus he seems too needy and clingy to dex for it to be genuine, (but maybe thats just an artifact of the writers accelerating things to develop a complex story in just 12 episodes) The last three episodes have been pretty slow as far as Dex's hobby goes. With the pedo, they showed a bit of the stalk, but almost nothing of the kill and no disposal at all. Last episode, nothing, and in this one all we got was about a minute of stalking and a 30 second kill/disposal. I hope they're just running out of time, and its not that they're trying to make the show more wholesome or whatever... 2 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |

One thing I really liked in this episode (though, I'm not sure if it was intentional by the writers or not) is that when Dex was put in a highly stressful situation where he feels like everything is out of control (Rita and Mrs Prado ambushing him about house-hunting and then Rita trying to get him to look at houses later) he leaps on the first opportunity to kill someone, and only stalks him for a day, seemingly does minimal background work to make sure the code is satisfied and doesn't even consider that Miguel might get suspicious when someone he tells Dexter about is dead a day or two later coinciding with Dexter's fishing trip. All this is pretty consistent with the psychology of a serial killer like Dex; when things feel out of control, he's driven to kill even more than usual to feel in control of something.

Yeah, the Mazuka scenes were great in this episode. But, as far as the viewing Deb from a distance, I still say Yuki is a jilted lover or ex partner with a crush of Quinns. She is after deb for being Quinns new partner and Quinn for not being hers...either in work or at home. This was definately a better episode than the llast one. This episode was more a dexter the show format, less, ...huh?But, what about cameras on the cruise ship? No disguise considering they may be, and, the volume of people on the ship. Will these facts create a backlash for Dex? 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

I Thhink it is because they portray the Prado family as a version of the "Soprano's" , and, the viiolent scene with the dead Prado and Freebo, that one of the Prados could be a killer. A drug lord at the least.But, I do agree that new blood would be welcome on the show. Do you find this valuable? |

It almost appeared as if Dex was "turned on" by killing again and by the way he lamented how he couldn't spend more time conversing with the victim. I just wish the show brought back more of those moments. Personally, I was a bit bored by this episode. It was slow. But thats just the morbid side of me talking.

I smell trouble in the relationship between Rita and Dexter because of Parados' wife, but, Migl and Dexter seem to be bonding well. Maybe too well? I personally didn't like the hightened level of excitement in Dexter for this kill in this episode. Makes it too common. I like the idea of the show is control, not self absobtion(sp)?absorbsion(?) 1 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

Dexter is recreating himself and making up his own rules. This kill was definitely outside of Harry's code. Dexter confirmed his intention to redefine 'the code' seconds before strangling the preditor. He said to himself: "But maybe there's another code. A code that says 'you've stepped uninvited into my world', and that's a place where I get to decide who gets to live and who doesn't." Lately I've been writing about Dexter's emotions. Basically that he lacks genuine love. But I also said that he does have the ability to care. One proof of this is while he was killing the perv Dex said "Nobody hurts my children." (One proof that he cannot love is his addmission and pat on the back of his acting abilities after he proposed to Rita.) The kill on the cruise shows Dexter's ability to improvise and work on the run, while still being the Dexter that we've come to love... with the plastic and the dialogue as part of the kill. 1 out of 3 found this valuable.

The redefinition of Dexter is one of the things to watch for on the show. Does he start to love killing too much, does he improvise the code in a benefitial way, or, under some other pretext. As far as I Am concerned, all the pedophiles should be killed so no sleep lost over that pervs' death. But, now, how far will Dex stray from the original code? And, how will effect him, those around him, and, the secracy of the killing persona? 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

If Dex turns into just a kill for the fun of it persona, I won't want to watch the show. IT is the good over evil that makes it somewhat sane in my mind. We do not need another greenriver serial killer, nor, to applaude one. If Dexter wants to polish his pool by removing the scum, that is okay.Also, I see th eshow has added golf, what about horseracing and dog racing? Is that to come? I might be getting a nine week old black pug puppy ( I will name her "Uni" if I do.Uni is a black sea urchin indiginous to China/Thailand. I am working out price with breeder on her. ) My point is, a pug dog puppy would be cute on the show if Rita's kids push Dex to hold true to his promise of a puppy. 1 out of 4 found this valuable.

Maybe he'll expand his boundries to killing child molesters and severely scareing child abusers. That would be interesting. I too found the Biminese episode interesting because of the psychological aspects. But to be honest, watching Dexter hunt and kill his predators with a vengence really makes the show complete. Also, they need to have another counter-Dexter. Sort of what the Ice Truck Killer was. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
