DEXTER Episode 6.09: 'Get Gellar' VIDEO Promo PHOTOS @SHO_Dexter @SHO_Kareem

Michael C. Hall as 'DEXTER' on Showtime - Episode 6.09 - 'Get Gellar' Credit: Showtime

Michael C. Hall (above) looks great as hungry-again, season 6 Dexter. Both season 4, which featured the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow) and Rita's (Julie Benz) murder by Trinity and season 5, with the physically and emotionally damaged, 'Lumen' played by Julia Stiles, who Dexter helps get justice and by doing so gets past his 'kill slump,' helped make Dexter 6.0 who he is.

It was very hard to guess what we were in store for on season 6 Dexter with  the lead, Michael C. Hall and his leading lady offscreen and co-star on Dexter, Jennifer Carpenter's divorce from one another.

It wasn't uncalled for to speculate whether 'Deb', a critical player as Dexter's younger sister in Dexter, would be killed off due to possible tensions with exes working long hours together on the set of the hit Showtime series.

Their scenes together this season seem OK--they are after all actors, but the tone and pace to season 6 is off. It seems to go in fits and starts maybe because some things seem too arbitrary like the hiring of 'Mike, the Chicago cop' and the near complete abandonment of the character. I mean, what is he there for? He does look pretty, eye candy for the ladies, I won't disagree with that.

I thought I would have loved the Gellar (Edward James Olmos) and Travis Mitchell (Colin Hanks) storyline. I don't. The whole 'DDK' thing is just not doing it for me (and every time Deb says "DDK" referring to the Doomsday Killer, it sounds like she's yakking about what she had for lunch--BLT, DDK, BK sandwich...

That the women victims are outnumbering the men is troubling but I see from the promo that there's at least another DDK victim in episode 9--and from the screen caps you can see he's male.

Not sure how I feel about Deb willingly seeing a shrink. I see that she sees that her personal life is a mess and I get why maybe she's tired of it being so. But this road to ' insights' can only lead to a dark passenger and I don't mean Debra's.

HOMELAND Episode 1.09 - 'Crossfire' Sneak Peek Screencaps VIDEO @SHO_Homeland @SHO_Kareem

It's anyone's guess as to the final destination of Showtimes' freshman offering, 'HOMELAND.' Homeland had garnered good numbers both in the general positive assessment by critics to the show as well as ratings acclaim.

I'm really curious to see if the Sgt. Brody storyline is wrapped up this season with a new CIA-based story kicking off in season 2. I've been getting the impression that the showrunners feel that they can get 2 season out of the current schedule of a season 2 pick-up--so I guess I'll just wait to find out Homelands' season 2 narrative like most everyone else.

Speaking of HOMELAND'S narrative, season one's has been one roller-coaster of a ride--and the cast is kicking ass, too. It is really good to have Claire Danes back on television. She's still great. And Mandy Patinkin is perfectly cast. I love when he has some extended scenes with plenty of dialog. He makes it look utterly effortless. And he's has such a soothing-sounding voice, no matter what he's saying.

 

HOMELAND Episode 1.09 - 'Crossfire' Promo VIDEO:

After his attempt to sever ties with Abu Nazir, Brody finds himself reliving his captivity and recommits to his mission; Carrie finds herself in the middle of a public relations nightmare on the heels of the mosque shooting.

If you thought terrorism was Abu Nazir’s only motive for keeping Brody alive in captivity, think again. The revelation about what Brody was up to all those years comes out in this Sunday’s episode — and it’s a shocker. (Hint: It gives him one hell of a motive for possibly turning against his country.)

Bonus scoop: A deadly shot will be fired.

HOMELAND - Episode 6.08 Sneak Peeks PROMO VIDEO *SPOILERS* @SHO_Kareem @SHO_Homeland

Episode 6.07 of  Showtime's HOMELAND was truly riveting.I don't think it's an exaggeration to call it a 'game-changer.' And then a set-up for the next episode, 6.08 -  'Achilles Heel', with possibly yet another plot twist that is just as big. My TV-watching partner quit on this show, I think because the story wasn't unraveling fast enough for him. With a story like this, a certain degree of patience and I'll say it, sophistication is required to fully enjoy it.

Some of us seem to want the equivalent of 'fast-food' TV but like many things in life, taking it slowly can result in a big payoff.

Screencaps from the official Showtime promo and Sneak Peeks for DEXTER Episode 6.07 are pretty darn freaky. Check 'em out and make sure to have a good glimpse of the videos, too! (Scroll down to just before the jump for the screencaps and a couple promo stills.)

Bringing Dexter's 'big brother' Brian back in the same form that Dexters' dad takes,  is pretty cool, too.

(Check out the Showtime snaps in the screencaps slideshow after the promo video to see where 'Dad' is now!)

 

 

Brian Moser, Dexter Morgan's only living blood relation, first appeared in season 1 of Dexter. By season's end he was known as The Ice Truck Killer for his M.O. of draining his victims and carving them up and then meticulously posing them. Some had their fingernails painted in rainbow colours.

Episode 7: 'Nebraska' Synopsis:

Dexter finds himself teamed up with a fellow Dark Passenger when he takes a road trip to Nebraska to tie up some loose ends from the past; Debra deals with the complications of her promotion as she leads the Doomsday investigation.

HUGE SPOILER Update:

Well, first, thank dog it's NOT Jonah.

Second, the so-called riddle 'spoilers.' from my prior post about this (the link folllows) were WRONG and the blinking garbarge blog from which I procured them is just that.

Third, welcome back Rudy (Christian Camargo)! Woo-hoo. Super-savage Dex is back in a big way if he's taking cues from his badder big-brother Brian/Rudy/the Ice Truck Killer who Dexter killed in season1.

Here's some context from the blog of a Salon blogger who has no compunction about revealing everything about episode 6.06 before the episode airs:

....when Dexter gets Sam's parting plea on his deathbed in the hospital, Dexter is pitched into a new, harrowing internal battle between the light and dark ... Don't kill my killer, Sam implores Dexter - forgive him,  let your hatred go...  He confronts Sam's killer - Nick - and might have let him live, but the taunts about getting away with Sam's killing goad Dexter into drowning the life out of him.

 

(Credit: Showtime)

(This isn't surprising IMO, as Dex, when taunted by his victim tends to get hyper-intense about the kill. Dex has lost control before and done non-traditional kills.)

...Dex's killing of Sam's killer was not at all ritualistic.   At a time like this, we might expect some laconically appropriate words from Dex's father Harry.

But what we get, instead, is a reappearance of Brian/Rudy/the Ice Truck Killer - Dexter's brother, killed by Dexter in Season One.   And if Dex's brain is bringing him into view, there is some deep darkness indeed ahead for Dexter.

 Salon Spoiler Source

 /End Edit (11.06.11)

In my previous DEXTER post I tossed around some of the speculation as to who, possibly an individual or entity with a Dark Passenger, would be reentering DEXTER's life in this Sunday's episode.  Gossip-ologist Ausiello is now confirming that this 'person' (vs. figment of the imagination/ghost) will not be Lumen. That should help narrow it down a bit but honestly, having watched this show for years (and not re-watched DEXTER's early years recently) I cannot remember if I'm forgetting to consider someone.

Also, I keep seeing the name 'Jonah' brought up in speculative threads around the Internet. Jonah, it turns out, was featured in DEXTER season 5. He was the Trinity Killer's son but he left so small of an impression on me that I cannot see the significance of him being brought back other than he knows that Dexter faked his identity in pursuit of Trinity. Jonah doesn't know specifically that DEXTER is a serial killer and he doesn't know the details of his father's death.

However, having been reared by a serial killer may be significant in pushing Dexter further into pondering the fate of his own son, Harrison. If it turns out that Trinity's son now has own Dark Passenger it would further fuel Dexter's anxiety about his son Harrison's fate should Dexter continue to rear him.

 

Here are the latest hints/spoilers from Ausiello as to what  is coming up on DEXTER:

Question: I have to ask, as I am getting quite nervous about the whole situation: Do you feel Dexter will continue past this season?
Ausiello: Not only do I feel it will, I know it will.

Question: What’s this I’m hearing about a major character returning to Dexter? True? Any clues?
Ausiello: True. Someone from Dex’s past reappears this Sunday and here’s your one and only clue: The mystery man (or woman) in question was featured prominently in Season 5. Or was it Season 3? Come to think of it, it might’ve been Season 1. It’s definitely one of those three.

Question: Any chance we’ll see Lumen on Dexter anytime soon?
Ausiello: OK, one more hint: The returning character is not Lumen. “I don’t think we’ll see her again this season,” confirms EP Scott Buck. “She’s a very important part of Dexter’s life and who he has become, but she’s largely a person of his past.”

Resignation

 

Say Goodbye

 

Last week's HOMELAND episode left on a cliff-hangar of what exactly happened that led to the death before he could disclose any good intel of Brody's POW guard of 8 years?

Brody himself is a suspect. He became one after he'd gone back to the CIA asking as a soldier to be able to face his captor. Previously, he'd asked if his captor would be tortured as part of the interrogation. Carrie's reply to Brody was, 'We don't do that here.'

This week, Carrie is hot to have Brody take a lie detector test as she has no question that Brody slipped his guard a razor blade after Brody successfully won face time with him via his plea to Deputy CIA Director Estes, (David Harewood).

The tension continues to mount. How much longer until Carrie and Brody either come to blows or wind up in the sack together--possibly having angry sex?

The Internet is abuzz not only with the synopsis of the just-released DEXTER Episode 6.07 - 'Nebraska' but a previous unconfirmed spoiler posed as a riddle. I don't recall a spoiler like this one before (scroll down to SPOILER):

Dexter - Episode 6.06 - 'Just Let Go' :

Dexter 6.06 - 'Just Let Go' Promo (HD):

Synopsis: Dexter is caught up in a very personal case that awakens the needs of his Dark Passenger; Debra feels overwhelmed by her new Lieutenant duties, made all the more complicated when she finds out Quinn slept with a witness in the Doomsday case.

Dexter 6.06 - 'Just Let Go' SCREENCAPS:

 SPOILER (Possible speculation):

In the final scene of Episode 6, Season 6, we have a shocking return. This return is a familiar face from the past. The return is also significant because it could change the whole dynamic of Dexter. Not just Dexter Morgan, but DEXTER, the series.

Every week until Episode 6 airs, I will post a clue

CLUE #1 (Oct- 21st): She hasn’t been gone for long, so don’t expect a pretty blonde. (Update: Completely fabricated)
Clue #2 (Oct – 23rd): Dexter has secrets, he’s like an unsolved quiz. But only a select few know who he really is.
CLUE #3 (Oct – 30th): Shock, confusion, happy, angry…the reactions will no doubt vary. One thing is for sure, this twist will bring controversy. (irrelevant)

I just visited the site above and be warned it one of those crap flashing, auto-video playing sites which leads me to be highly suspicious of anything the writer has to say. If however there are any shards of truth to the piece perhaps they best be matched up with a source that tends to be highly reliable:
