So can't wait!  And look who is joining the cast this season!   :wub

Season 7 of "Dexter" just added a dose of "Chuck." Yvonne Strahovski, who played Sarah Walker on the former NBC spy comedy, will be joining Showtime's serial killer drama in a multi-episode arc, the network announced Tuesday.

According to Showtime, Strahovski will play Hannah McKay, "a strong, independent woman with a past that she's struggled to put behind her. As a turn of events leads Miami Metro Homicide to ask for her help in solving some old cases, Dexter works with her and begins to wonder if there's more to this woman than she's professed."

The cast for "Dexter" Season 7 is taking shape. "The Shield" veteran Matt Gerald has been cast to play a blue-collar violent criminal, and "Rome" actor Ray Stevenson has also signed on to play a Russian mob boss.

Production began last week on Season 7 of "Dexter." Showtime renewed the Emmy-nominated thriller for another two seasons last fall.

"Dexter" Season 7 premieres Sun., Sept. 30 at 9 p.m. ET on Showtime.

HOLY COW!! Yep, gonna rock. Is this going to be the last season for Dex?

I believe there is one more after this. So they are probably going to have some sort of arc that wraps the story up starting this season.

While last season left me a little cold, I am right there for this.  I've been watching this since the very beginning, and wasn't ever disappointed until last season.  Still I'm anxiously looking forward to seeing how they move forward with the incredible cliffhanger from the end of last season...I'm praying they don't cheat!

Wow great start to the season last night.  So happy to see no cheating occurred, and they are serious about Debra [spoiler]finding out everything there is to know about her adopted brother.[/spoiler]  Really looking forward to watching this season develop!

Just watched episode three of this season.  Starting to get very interesting as some of the stories start to come together.  Liking it quite a bit.  And it was cool to see "Chuck's" old girlfriend show up for her run this season.

Just watched the latest episode.  Things are starting to form a certain direction.  Enjoying this season even if it is a bit different than past years.

So what did those watching season 7 think?  How about that finale?  I liked the season overall - it was different than past years.  Make sure to put in spoiler tags anything critical that happened - especially in the season 7 finale.

Holy cow.

[spoiler]I kinda knew LaGuerta was going to either be discredited or killed by Dexter, but I didn't foresee that Deb would kill her! My wife and I agree that this might be a bit of a turn of making Dexter alot less likable, in fact this whole season has sort of been doing that, which makes me wonder what they are setting us up for in the final season. Really enjoyed this year.[/spoiler]

I enjoyed the season tremendously.  The only problem I had with the finale was this:

[spoiler]At the end when Dexter got Laguerta to come back to the warehouse for her murder, how did he know that she would attempt to capture the fugitive killer on her own?  In fact I can't think of a single logical reason why she wouldn't call for backup which would totally screw up Dexter's plan to murder her with no witnesses[/spoiler]This made no sense to me and kind of had me slapping my forehead for the whole end of the episode. Overall though I really enjoyed the season, found it to be a great improvement over the debacle of last season, and I'm really looking forward to the wrap up of the series next year.

Joby, to answer your question and a little more....

[spoiler]I think it made sense for LaGuerta to not call for backup.  Remember she got that guy out of prison to try to set Dex up and it backfired on her.  I think she was trying to prove something and went alone because of all that.  It was a dumb move on her part but she was really never the brightest cop it seemed.  Even though in the end she is one of the few who has figured out Dexter's secret.

Chris - yeah I also thought how this is going to impact Dexter and is "like-able" factor?  He has been heading that way for awhile now.  But it makes sense.  A guy can't for years just keep killing people, even bad people and not have it catch up to him.

It's going to be cool to see where this all ends up.[/spoiler]

I see your point from Laguertas pov Rico but it doesn't seem like the kind of risk Dexter would take, too much of a chance of being caught which has always been against the "code"
Title: Re: "Dexter" Season 7!
Post by: Rico on December 20, 2012, 04:36:30 PM
Dex has been taking more and more chances lately.  So it all made sense to me.

Heck, ever since he killed that guy just because he was angry at Rita being back in Season 5 he's sort of been on and off the rails. I think having 2 seasons to tell the final Dexter stories without having to hold to the trope of having Dexter face off against a serial killer has tightened the show up considerably.
Title: Re: "Dexter" Season 7!
Post by: Rico on December 22, 2012, 05:57:11 AM
He also got it wrong at least once and killed an innocent guy a few seasons back as well.  Dex is not a good guy by any means.  He's frankly very messed up and that's what makes him fascinating to watch.

I said to my wife "Why are we rooting against LaGuerta? She's right!" Of course, she has been kind of a manipulative you-know-what, and Dexter is the point of view we get. If this was real life, I'd feel bad for Harrison, the kid barely sees his dad and must think that that Jamie girl is his mother.
