And even when Dexter did go 'off the rails' with ghost!Brian, he what, stole some stuff and went on a joyride? Got a blowjob from a gas station cashier? Like, this is not what should happen when a serial killer cuts loose.
Yep. When Ferris Bueller would think your serial killer's dark arc looks wimpy, you're doing something wrong.
And THE most hilarious thing I've ever seen was Travis' mural with devil!Dexter.
Heee! Not to mention the way the cops let him take care of that. "We think there may be a dangerous serial killer inside this house. Let's send in the blood spatter analyst for 20 minutes before we even let the SWAT team do a sweep."
Oh, and as long as I'm at it, the 'Travis was hallucinating Gellar' thing was the most ridiculous plot twist.
Not to mention so ridiculously obvious that everyone I watched it with kept going "OK, so we know Gellar can't possibly be all in Travis' mind, since they're telegraphing that so hard that obviously they just want us to think that so they can surprise... us... Oh, they really thought that was a shocking twist? Really?"
I'm still convinced that the only reason they pulled Deb/Dexter out of their collective asses was because their abridged edition of Screenwriting For Dummies only covers one single type of relationship between men and women; if they're just brother and sister and she's not in love with him, they really don't know how to write it.
