Jamil Scalese

If this review was a single word, a "FFFUUUUUUUUUUUU" that stretched over the distance of 4-5 paragraphs, I believe that most Dexter viewers would stroke their beard (literal or figurative) and nod in calculated agreement.

Again, I can't wrap my mind around this show's stagnant and mundane routine.

The Dexter team decided to just pull something out of the woodwork and present us with an hour of patchwork plotting and poor climaxes.

Luckily, this episode really injected new life into the meandering events of Season 8.

Everything doesn't have to be clockwork, but at least try to throw some cohesion into what you're doing!

The main concern surrounding this episode is Zach Hamilton, a fetal version of Dexter.

Dexter built its success on having a fairly tight world around an outlandish character... that atmosphere has cracked and worn.

Dexter is still pretty damned watchable but there is a lot of room for improvement.

This was an average episode, but it did lay foundation for important elements down the line.

Jamil is really hoping Dexter can pull off this final season.

"My God, Dexter. How did we end up here?"
