00:00:00.479 --> 00:00:07.839
On the table this week, this season of Dexter is moving at the same pace that last season started off, which how would you describe it so far?
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:08.560
It's fast.
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:09.919
It's a blistering pace.
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:11.119
Things are happening.
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:12.240
Charlie is back.
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.320
The New York Ripper is in this show way more than we thought it would be.
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:19.920
And the midlife crisis storyline is practically the entire show.
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:21.120
It's front and center.
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:21.679
It is.
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:22.800
Maybe too much.
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:23.519
We'll talk about it.
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.719
There are dynamics of this episode that I really, really want to get into.
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:28.719
We should probably just waste no time.
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:33.359
Let's begin this week's On the Table, episode two of Dexter Resurrection.
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.960
On the table with Melanie and Jake.
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.240
Episode 02, 02.
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.039
Fallen is this week's Dexter Resurrection.
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:48.079
The whole time I was watching it, Mel, there's so much about it that I think is surprising me about the show.
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.399
Not really upsetting me, but surprising me.
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.159
What was your biggest surprise, do you think?
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.320
I think the dynamic between Dexter and uh Quinn was my biggest surprise.
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.280
That seemed off because they were never really friendly.
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.840
Like he greets him with like a huge hug, and you're just like, mmm.
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.480
I thought Quinn was the Dokes after Dokes left.
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:05.120
He was.
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:09.040
And he was only really nice to Dexter because it was his girlfriend's brother.
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:12.079
So And it was just him being polite, like for politics.
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:21.280
I feel like Quinn knew about Dexter, and then Dexter got him cleared off a case or whatever, so he was like, Oh, okay, maybe you're like good to have around.
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.319
And he even brings up when they meet up, we're gonna jump around here a little bit.
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:29.599
Uh, when they meet up in the bar, he talks about the Bay Harbor butcher, like put that front and center in the conversation.
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:35.920
And he's like, I can't believe Batista went down the same line, Laguarded and Dokted, like making him seem all crazy.
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.000
So I think that maybe that was an act though.
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.680
Maybe maybe he's just trying to come off as like non-threatening.
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:48.319
But it went so far that it made me as the viewer go, because right off the bat, I

was like, oh, careful about this hug when he comes in hot.
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:48.879
Yeah.
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:49.599
You're about to.
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:55.519
Did you did you notice that Quinn, I mean, Dexter invited him in, and then Quinn's like, nah, let's go to a bar.
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:55.680
Right.
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.439
Like he could have he could have ended up dead.
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:57.840
Right.
00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:59.280
No, I didn't actually pick up on that.
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:00.000
That's a good call.
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:08.800
And I think at that point I was still suspicious, but by the end of it, I was thinking, like, I think Quinn's actually here to hunt down justice for Batista, not knowing anything.
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.360
It wasn't even really Batista that he was like in town for.
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.520
He's like in town for the families.
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:17.919
He's like, you know, the PD's not doing anything, falling behind, you know, not following up.
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.319
And so it took him what, three months or three years?
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:22.159
Three years, yeah, is where we're at.
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.439
So I guess after three years, he's just like, time's up.
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.960
I'm just gonna do this private detective style and get out there.
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:37.199
Well, one of the fan theories that we had in our initial thing was like Quinn's just waiting for his pension before he heads to New York, which been 20 years, so who knows?
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.039
Who knows what was gonna happen with that?
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.120
Uh, this is on the table with Melanie and Jake.
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:43.120
We're gonna go through it kind of chronologically here.
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.719
And uh, first off, we should say apologies for this episode coming out so late.
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:48.319
This won't happen again this season.
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.080
We will be on time going forward.
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.360
So if you are needing your fix, uh, we will be there for you.
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.400
This episode starts off Dexter at the gym.
00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:02.159
I really thought right off the bat the it was a pretty funny line of sporty Italian knife, serial killers half my age.
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.719
Is this what a midlife crisis serial killer goes through?
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.080
The midlife crisis storyline is so front and center.
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.800
It's every scene it felt like they were talking about it.
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.080
And another question Dexter identifies as a serial killer.
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:15.120
Was that the case all along?
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.400
Because that phrase also got said a hundred times.
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:18.719
Right.
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:24.800
In addition to talking about the five borough killer, but Dexter also
is calling himself a serial killer.
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:26.159
I don't remember him saying that in past.
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.400
I think he's like proud to be one now.
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:28.800
Okay.
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:35.520
You know, now that there's Prater loved serial killer so much, and then there's like chicks out there that dig it or whatever.
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.400
I think he's like proud to be, and he's very protective of it.
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.080
Like he doesn't want to say that the five borough killer is a serial killer yet.
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.199
He's calling himself a serial killer and not a vigilante.
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.159
That's what I kind of thought he thought of himself as.
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:53.120
I mean, he always said he was like a monster, but he never really lumped himself in with the serial killers.
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:53.439
Right.
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.199
I always kind of thought he thought he was Batman and not the Joker, you know?
00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:58.000
Exactly.
00:03:58.240 --> 00:03:58.800
Exactly.
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:03.759
Uh, I thought the couple digs at podcasts was pretty funny, considering we're sitting here doing a podcast.
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:04.240
I know.
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:09.520
And also in New York, when they're in the gym, the two back-to-back serial killer reports on the news.
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:09.759
Yeah.
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.800
When is the last time you ever saw that on any news channel?
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.439
Like, speaking of serial killers, there's another one.
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:16.959
Yeah, I mean, I don't live in New York.
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:18.000
Maybe it's like that.
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:19.920
But this is like no big deal.
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:27.839
Minnesota news talking about uh the ponytele killer, and then like and then happening here locally, like serial killers are a nationwide news event.
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.399
When it happens in some part of the country, you hear about it.
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:30.720
Right.
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.519
I think it was a little heavy on the serial killer and midlife crisis parts of this show.
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.600
Um, also audio on the gym TV.
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.120
This is gonna be, I'm gonna have a little nitpicky thing since I was writing down a lot of nitpicky stuff.
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:43.279
The news channel in the gym is just audio on.
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:44.480
That never happens in gyms.
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:45.360
I know, right?
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:46.399
No one's listening.
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.800
Uh, we skipped from there, I think, to we go to Harrison next, headed to the police station.
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.680
Donuts on the first day felt a little cliche insulting.
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:58.480
I think it was supposed to be like an Easter egg, but it was like, oh, that's what Dexter used to do.
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.879
Um, Harrison seemed to be surprised that he was heading to homicide.
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:03.279
Right.
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:04.720
Like he didn't even know till he showed up.
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:05.600
That does seem weird.
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.040
Like what they tell him, like report to show what whatever floor.
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.759
Floor number two, and then you'll find out what floor that is.
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.199
And also, even if that's the case, you Google it beforehand.
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:16.639
You like, what division did I get?
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.160
I'm showing up to floor number two.
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:19.519
What's on floor number two?
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:21.120
At least for your first day.
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:27.279
Like, I figure, yeah, they don't know, they don't have any control over it, but you should be knowing where you're going on the first day.
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:27.839
Right.
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:34.160
You don't read it on the door that says homicide while on the phone with your dad and saying, Holy crap, dad, you're never gonna believe where I just got.
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.560
I thought that that was a little too much.
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:43.279
The fact that Fiona, which I clocked the name right off the bat, remember had we had this problem in season one where we couldn't figure out Ericsson's girl.
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:44.879
Fiona Mixon got it written down.
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:46.160
A Nepo baby.
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:51.519
So at first, like last week, you had thought maybe it was someone from Boston, but no, yeah.
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.279
So it is someone he works with.
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.360
It's happened to be his like superior, who also happens to be the chief's daughter.
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.360
She's his training officer, right?
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:00.879
Yeah, so she's above him.
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:01.360
Yeah.
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:11.360
This is a little moment of convenient writing where not only is she NYPD, the girl he bangs in the bar, uh, she is in his division and is his training officer.
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.480
I mean, that's a small world, but I guess it could happen.
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:16.160
Of course it could happen.
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.120
None of the things that happen in the show are zero percent chance.
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:19.439
Right.
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:23.360
A lot of them are very slim chance, but it seems like we're kind of off to the races here.
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:25.920
And again, we have to allow they're making a TV show.
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:26.959
There's got to be the drama.
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.120
So, like a little bit of convenient writing is okay.
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.759
I just, you know, I uh just don't get too crazy with it.
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:38.240
I do like how, you know, she's like, Oh, I had to
wait two years and I'm a Nepo baby, and then he's like, Who's your Nepo daddy?
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:39.040
Yeah.
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:51.040
Um, the airdrop plug I thought was um Apple clearly all the way when they're talking about how the killer can be traced, and they're like, it's airdrop, it's peer-to-peer, Wi-Fi, direct Bluetooth, Bluetooth.
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:53.680
There's no connection, and also I was like, really?
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.399
It was Apple because they're paying again for this show.
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.199
Apple paying for like, yeah, airdrops are totally secure.
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:00.879
Okay, Apple, got it.
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.920
The tech breakdown, I thought in that scene was actually a little bit insulting to the captain.
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:06.319
Yeah.
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.680
How is it like does he not know anything about technology?
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:10.079
Yeah.
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:11.680
I kind of thought that too.
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:12.720
It wasn't realistic.
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.279
Yeah, you don't talk to the forensics people in trip, like, come on.
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.839
He's holding the phone with one hand, he's holding the gun with the other hand.
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:18.800
How is he recording it?
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:20.079
GoPro?
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:21.040
Like, no.
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:28.720
The dynamic dynamics are is a word I'm gonna bring up a lot during this episode of On the Table.
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:32.160
Harrison is a fan of Wallace and Oliva.
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.800
That simply does not pass the smell test for me.
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.079
He just thinks he's gonna learn so much from Detective Robot.
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:39.519
I like how Quinn called her that.
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:40.079
Yeah, sure.
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.439
And then Dexter is still being like, hey, watch your back.
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:44.959
Like, nobody ever makes it in there.
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.120
Why do you think you made it in there so fast?
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:48.560
And he's like, Well, my test scores.
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:50.959
And it's like, no, maybe keep your enemies closer.
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.959
He's at least giving him warning, like, maybe you shouldn't trust him from the get-go.
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:56.720
And Dexter's being correct about that.
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:08.240
The fact that Harrison is completely whitewashing the tension and drama that he went through dealing with the police investigation by those two cops three years ago.
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.360
You wouldn't go in there and be like, I'm such a I'm gonna learn so much from this lady.
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.759
You go in there and being like, this is gonna be awkward AF.
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.720
Yeah, they just chalked it up to who killed Ryan Foster.
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:17.759
I don't remember now.
00:08:18.079 -->
00:08:19.199
We just watched it though.
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:20.720
But Mia, right?
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:27.519
Yeah, they kind of just still wrote it off as like one of Mia's victims and she had the watch and all this other stuff.
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:34.159
Even like the trepidation that Melvin had from last episode where he was like, remember, he was a murder suspect of ours.
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:40.960
I will buy in the storyline that Detective Wallace can separate in her head because her red head works differently than everybody else.
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:42.960
We cleared him, and so we're all good.
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:43.440
Yeah.
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:51.440
Detective Oliva, who again is a police homicide detective in NYPD, is gonna have suspicions, but even those seem to have disappeared this episode.
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:52.480
We'll see where it goes.
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.320
Maybe Harrison's gonna just fly under the radar and be okay.
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:56.799
Right.
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:58.720
Next up, who appears in the show?
00:08:58.879 --> 00:08:59.600
Charlie Brown.
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:00.240
She's back.
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.799
She's very kill bill in this episode.
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:03.840
Don't you even think?
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:05.519
Like with the long hair again and everything.
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:06.000
Right.
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:11.200
My first impression of Charlie, well, Uma Thurman really in the show is she's fucking great.
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:14.240
Uma Thurman is terrific in this show.
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:17.759
Even on a show that is about Dexter, when Michael C.
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:21.440
Hall is on screen, when Uma Thurman's on screen, she is sucking up all the attention.
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:24.879
And there was some line she said, now you can help me with this.
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:26.799
She met with Detective Wallace.
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:27.679
How did that happen?
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:29.200
Because she used to work for Prater.
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:35.279
So I'm sure that they found her, they interviewed her, and they're just talking about like, have you heard from your boss?
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:36.000
Blah, blah, blah.
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:37.039
And then they cleared her.
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:37.919
Found her?
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:38.639
I guess so.
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.000
Or maybe she went to the police.
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:40.879
She got cleared.
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:41.360
Either way.
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.039
She got out of town that night.
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.200
She put mom in the car and they drove away.
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.720
We're also missing three years, so she worked for him.
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:50.879
So there's a paper trail, I'm sure.
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:51.759
I'm sure not.
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:52.639
And so they found her.
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.639
You think there's a pay like do you think Charlie Brown has W-2s with the Praetor Inc.?
00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:59.600
And also, if they found her, see, this is what I'm saying.
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:07.519
It either happened where she went to the cops, which is totally out of character, she should have split a town with her mom and gone to fuck off wherever.
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:21.440
Or Detective Wallace hunted her down, in which case, how suspicious is that that the guy turns out to be a really killer, his assistant completely disappears off the map, probably with no paper trail, and you're not a little bit suspicious about that?
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:23.120
I just don't know about any of that.
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:26.240
They didn't give us very much information about that little bit of backstory.
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:26.559
Right.
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:27.600
But she's been cleared.
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:29.039
She's not afraid of Wallace.
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:30.799
You know, she's like, whatever.
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:34.559
And uh the revelation from her, it made me a little bit sad that mom is dead now.
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:41.919
So now she's trying to do these like good deeds by finishing the killings, even though her mom was like against it.
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:46.639
You know, why are you telling her like how she got all this money for this private care and everything?
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.320
Like, don't bother your mom with that.
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:48.960
She's dying.
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:49.200
Okay.
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:53.200
She's going to her let her think you died a third grade teacher.
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:53.679
Exactly.
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:57.519
So then she's like, Mom was all upset about it, so now I'm trying to redeem myself.
00:10:57.679 --> 00:10:59.919
But she's just trying to kill the other killers.
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.000
I don't think that's very redeeming.
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:08.080
And the fact that Charlie is trying to get involved with Dexter as like a Charlie, like an assistant, a facilitator?
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:08.559
Right.
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:09.519
That's good for Dexter.
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:10.559
He could use an assistant.
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:13.600
And it seems like she's very good at the job.
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.159
Well, Praetor finds the best.
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:19.039
So his whole job is bringing the two people together.
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.039
How do you feel before we get too far from it?
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.759
How do you feel about Charlie and Dexter working together?
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.159
Like in your vibe right now, how do you feel like it's going?
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:29.279
Does Charlie have some other motive or is this a good thing?
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:30.799
I don't know yet.
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:31.840
I don't trust her.
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.039
She obviously wants him to get rid of these bad guys.
00:11:35.120
--> 00:11:39.759
Like she wants to finish the job with that because like she was like, you're not like the other ones, you know.
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:41.360
So she's asking for his help.
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:42.480
So I don't know.
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:43.759
I don't know if I trust her yet.
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:48.720
I don't know if I do, but is it because it's just good business not to trust her?
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:51.840
Because I feel like the show is trying to make us trust her.
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:57.440
It's telling us that we need to trust her and giving us no signals like a foreshadowing that something different is coming.
00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:01.120
Maybe, but like I feel like a fool me once type of thing.
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:12.320
Like we try, you know, we didn't know if we trusted you, and then you like turned on Praetor 2 and You know how when you're watching, maybe you don't know this, but you know, when you're watching WWE and they're trying to turn a good guy into a bad guy, they're trying to make somebody.
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.360
Okay, let me describe to you, and this it's a this is a very like subtle case of that.
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.879
In WWE, guys will become good guys and bad guys.
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:26.320
Like they'll it's called turning heel, like they'll flip them into a bad guy, but you can tell that it's happening.
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.840
You're buying in because WWE is fun, it's a soap opera for guys.
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:30.080
Yeah.
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:31.200
You know what they're trying to do.
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.480
You're like, okay, they're turning him into a bad guy, so now he's gonna be a bad guy.
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:38.000
So now we root for anybody who's fighting him, and we boo this guy.
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:41.279
And it's pretty transparent when they're doing it, you know what's happening.
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.440
I'm not getting that vibe from this show that they're trying to make Charlie a bad guy.
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:50.159
I think they're trying to lead us down a path of a new collab between Charlie and Dexter.
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.240
Do you think that the collab is also a love interest?
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:54.639
Oh, okay.
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:56.799
How he's like, we could pretend to be a couple.
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:57.840
What a good cover.
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.440
I absolutely started clocking that.
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:02.639
I could see it going that way.
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:03.279
We don't know.
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:04.879
Uh, we talked a little bit about Mia.
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:06.399
Is Mia coming back in the show?
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:08.399
She is definitely in the season.
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:09.360
So I don't know.
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:09.840
I don't know.
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:12.559
I don't buy that Mia's coming back in any substantial way.
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:17.600
I did think that the almost romantic interest between Charlie and Dexter was happening.
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:19.519
Like, I felt like she was something, yeah.
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:20.720
Getting seduced by him.
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:21.519
A little bit, yeah.
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.039
And I think she was last season too.
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:25.600
Because she could tell that he wasn't just like a pure monster.
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.159
Because like she's like, oh, it's almost like you have like a code.
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:28.480
Right.
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.240
Which by the way, Dexter was trying to hide behind.
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:34.000
He's like, I worked by myself.
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:35.279
Yeah, I work alone.
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:36.639
I don't try to beat the cops.
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:37.759
And I was like, that's bullshit.
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:38.879
You try to beat the cops all the time.
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:40.639
And he's like, it's an active investigation.
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:41.679
I can't go after that one.
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:43.679
You fucked over Deb so many times.
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.159
Like, don't even act like you don't.
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:47.759
You can't hide behind the code.
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:49.679
You maybe can to the person you're talking to.
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:50.000
Yeah.
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:51.840
But it feels like in that moment, wasn't he?
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:53.120
That was his inner monologue.
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:57.200
He's like, I don't mess with wait, did he say active inner investigations out loud?
00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:57.919
He did, yeah.
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:00.240
Because she goes, Why not go for the New York Ripper?
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.360
And he's like, That's an active police investigation.
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:03.919
Yeah.
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.279
I was like, you don't care.
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:06.879
This is some new rule of yours, bro.
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:07.279
Right.
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.440
Um, then he knocks and he says out loud, Ugh, blessing, what do you want?
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:12.559
Which was out of character.
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.120
You don't talk like that to yourself out loud at home.
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.679
Well, yeah, so I for sure knew it wasn't gonna be blessing.
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:19.519
Turns out to be Quinn at the door.
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:27.759
I found myself smiling through that whole thing because I just thought the arrival of Quinn in Dexter's life so early in the season was a nice surprise.
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.320
Yeah, you thought he'd be in later in the season.
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:32.159
Yeah, hunting him down, trying to find him.
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:32.399
Yeah.
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:36.159
But no, he found him right away because Detective Wallace somehow gives him the address.
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:41.279
Apparently, he's very easy to find, but
Charlie and Prater couldn't find him for the longest time.
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:42.799
He's apparently in the phone book.
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.799
Batista found him, uh, Wallace has found him, twins found him.
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:50.799
They did kind of write through that by saying, like, yeah, I'm a former cop, I can find out anything I want.
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:52.879
But I mean, Dexter's like back from the dead.
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:57.440
Like, I mean, it's been three years and he's been there a while, so it's like probably on his credit report by now.
00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:59.759
But maybe that's why Prater can find him.
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:06.879
When uh Quinn started hitting on the bartender, I thought to myself, bro, you do not have the youthful Riz that Quinn used to have.
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.039
Yeah, that's very true.
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.720
And then he's like, old habits die hard.
00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.200
It's yeah, you're gonna be one of those creepy old dudes at the bar.
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:22.320
Like, I was smiling throughout that whole scene up until the moment when Quinn said, Um, you were the best crime scene investigator we ever had.
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.159
I mean, that's probably true.
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:26.240
Definitely, but would Quinn say that?
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:27.039
That's what I don't know.
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.600
It's like, is he just trying to like butter him up for something?
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:34.000
Or, you know, but then it was like, is he trying to convince him to like get back into forensics?
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:39.039
Because I I said I thought I saw a clip of him with his like little badge and everything, is it'll laminate.
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.360
Do you think a Dexter and Quinn team up is coming?
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:48.799
Well, they kind of already agreed to it, but then he's also teamed up with Charlie, so uh he kind of needs to reel it in, I guess.
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:49.360
Right.
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:53.600
Then we move to the scene of uh uh Harrison and Fiona just walking their beat.
00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:54.000
Right.
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:55.759
She's like teaching him a lesson.
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.480
Pulls up to the like A-Cab, defund the police house, and set him up to fail there, which I thought.
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:01.600
That was a bitch move.
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:02.720
That was a bitch move right there.
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:07.120
Um, we go to see Don Frampt next, and this was one of the big surprises of the episode for me.
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:10.960
Don Frampt has all of these like fans that are like, Can I get a picture with you?
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:11.759
And blah, blah, blah.
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:14.639
And Dexter almost seems like he wants that.
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:17.759
But nobody knows about me, so it's me.
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:18.399
I'm poor Dexter.
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.039
I've got a midlife crisis that nobody loves me.
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:25.600
He knew the name for it, the felia or whatever it was, whatever kind of philia it was.
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:27.360
Dexter Philia, I think is what it's called.
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:30.320
And uh Don Frampt has Riz, by the way.
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.679
He is trying to like Mac on this girl, even though he is totally gross.
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:34.639
He's so gross.
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:35.440
And like, why?
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:40.639
I get that he's in a wheelchair, but like, why does he have like tomato soup or something all over his shirt?
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:42.080
Like, what the hell, buddy?
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:43.360
Like, what does that give us?
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:46.480
He we already know he's a monster because we know he's the ripper.
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:50.399
So why do we have to paint him in an even further gross light?
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:52.480
Maybe it's just like to really run up the story.
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:56.879
Trying to make him like extra gross or make him look like extra helpless or something.
00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:58.080
It's unnecessary.
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:00.240
I still don't believe that that chair's for real.
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.279
He was mentioning, like, yeah, you know, mud legs don't work.
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:03.679
Yeah.
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:04.720
There was a lot of energy.
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:09.279
Yeah, I was like, I don't know, you're kind of feeling awfully sorry for yourself.
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:15.039
You are super establishing as a show that he can't walk in a way that makes me feel like, mmm, I don't know if I trust this.
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:21.119
I mean, I like how he takes his pills with whiskey or whatever, but I gotta take these every four hours or something.
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:26.720
I don't think it's come up in this episode, but didn't we surmise that he is a city worker from the last season?
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:30.640
We thought so just because of his weapon was like that manhole cover thing.
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.720
So we don't really even know what Don Frampt is retired from, other than killing.
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:37.279
I think he must be on disability, would be my guess.
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:38.160
I would think so, yeah.
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:41.680
The interaction between Dexter, this is another dynamic that I wanted to talk about.
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:44.720
So the dynamic between Dexter and Charlie kind of surprised me.
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.839
It felt like too trusting and cordial right off the bat.
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:49.839
I mean, he did have that knife.
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.279
Like when she showed up at the restaurant, he was all so it wasn't all cordial.
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:57.359
It wasn't you're right, but it was very quickly over the course of this episode.
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:12.160
We went
to like partnering with Charlie, partnering with Quinn, and then I thought the fact that even Don Frampt and Dexter being in the same scene and having dialogue is a surprising that reminded me of the Trinity killer, where he's getting a little too close to his victim.
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:17.759
Like he admired Trinity, and now I think he's like kind of admiring Don Frampt for the wrong reason.
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:19.279
Yeah, the question I had that I wrote.
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:24.720
Is he asking genuinely or is he fishing for information?
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:26.720
No, he was like genuinely interested.
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.599
Like, how does it feel to be like so recognized?
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:32.160
I think because that's what Dexter wants.
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:39.920
Like, so he's just like, what would you know, what does it feel like to be appreciated or like have fans and they can't do it anything, they can't catch you.
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:48.640
That has happened a few times, I guess, over the course of this thing is like he is trying to model other killers who seem to have it all figured out.
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:52.000
He's thinking they have it all figured out, but then he's going to kill them anyway.
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:55.680
Clearly, they don't if you're still after them, right?
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:57.519
Like they still did bad things.
00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:58.799
Yeah, he wants to continue.
00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:09.920
It's a little bit have your cake and eat it too, where he wants to continue doing what he does and killing and ridding the world of serial killers, vigilante style, but he also wants the good parts of their life that they have.
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:11.440
And I don't think that exists.
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:19.359
I think that he wants it too, so he sees it in them, but then finds out no serial killers have the perfect life that he thinks could be.
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:20.880
Does it make you sad?
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.440
Um, no, I think it makes it realistic.
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:28.960
Like why does he think that like he can have it all with this like really dark secret?
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:36.240
I think as my affection for Dexter is making me think, like, well, maybe you know, keep on interviewing serial killers and maybe you'll find it, bro.
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:42.559
Yeah, maybe you'll just like take a little piece of their info and like what works for them in their life and kind of incorporate it, and then he'll figure it out.
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.920
Maybe you can be what was the term he called him an exhibition narcissist?
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.480
Maybe you can be an exhibition narcissist too.
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:50.720
Get all the notoriety you are serious.
00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:52.799
I feel like that's what he's going for.
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:57.200
He's a midlife crisis serial killer who is now craving appreciation.
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:01.440
I mean, even at the gym, he's like, oh, the Rapunzel killer, that's gotta be a big takedown.
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:05.039
And the guy's like, oh, it sounds like someone my grandmother could get, you know.
00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:08.799
And then he like, so he didn't get that like credit that he wanted from that guy.
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:09.279
Right.
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:10.880
Even though he didn't even know it was him.
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:13.920
He just wanted someone to be like, oh yeah, good, that guy deserved to die.
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:14.880
Then he could feel good about it.
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:20.240
We go next to uh Harrison's apartment, which was felt pretty good size for a NYPD beat cop.
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:22.160
They make a good living as NYPD.
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:23.279
I guess like rookies.
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:23.599
Yeah.
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:31.119
Dexter admits that he wants to take out the Ripper, and Harrison in this case already admires Claudette Wallace after what, one day?
00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:32.960
Like his first week or whatever, yeah.
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:33.680
Yeah, so much.
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:35.200
No, she's gotta catch him.
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:35.759
Yeah, right.
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:36.720
Yeah.
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:39.680
There is drama there that seems unnecessary.
00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:42.000
Is Dexter kind of hormonal?
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:44.079
Like, I'm in midlife myself.
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:47.759
I'm probably at my most level emotionally.
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:49.920
I'm not doing big mood swings like that.
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:51.759
Why is Dexter going through it?
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:52.240
I don't know.
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:54.640
Maybe he's got more things weighing on his mind.
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:55.039
I don't know.
00:20:55.279 --> 00:21:00.160
He most certainly has more things weighing on his mind, but he's also supposed to be a sociopath.
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:04.000
His his emotions and drama and what he seems to be generating with all these people.
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.359
There's a lot of jealousy, there's a lot of kind of anger at his situation.
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:12.799
For a guy who has uh pretending to be human, he's sure acting extra human this season.
00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:14.880
He just doesn't know how to deal with his emotions.
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:19.279
Because the emotions he's having now are the same ones you get during puberty, but most of us go through it in our teens.
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:19.759
Yeah.
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:23.200
Uh, further question about the um uh Charlie situation.
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:27.599
Some allusion was made to that she has access to Prater's money.
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:28.319
Is that correct?
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:28.880
Yeah.
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:30.720
I mean, I guess because Prater went missing.
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:34.480
It's not like he signed off any
credit cards or anything, you know.
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:37.759
Like she probably still has access to his bank accounts, so she's just using them.
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:42.000
He let his chief of security have like power of attorney over his estate.
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:49.200
I mean, maybe not a full power of attorney, but like definitely has rights on banking and credit cards and things like that because like she was like paying people off.
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:51.039
She was giving them money to you know what I mean.
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:55.200
So I mean, if the card's not expired, keep on using it, I guess, is what she thinks.
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:55.920
Right.
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:59.759
Uh Charlie gives Dexter a new apartment and the sleepy eyed strangler.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:01.599
Stranger, whatever he's called, Mr.
00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:03.200
Sleepy Eye is on his way.
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:04.400
He's freaky as fuck.
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:05.680
He was watching those people.
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:07.200
And then how does he even select him?
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:08.640
He's just like goes on Zillow.
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:09.680
Is that what he was doing?
00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:15.200
Like just finds them on Zillow and then goes to the house and gets in there and fucks with them by tipping over their pictures and stuff.
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:15.519
Yeah.
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:21.759
I mean, I would probably just think my cat did it, but his reverence for his little weapon thing I found to be pretty chilling.
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:23.119
We're not even sure what kind of weapon that is.
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:24.400
Looks like it's an ice pick, isn't it?
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:24.960
It's an ice pick.
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:25.359
It's gotta be.
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:27.279
So I don't know why they call him the strangler when he's ice picking people.
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:28.799
I don't understand that at all.
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:33.200
Uh they go downstairs in Dexter's new apartment, which is fucking dope.
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:34.240
Man cave down there.
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:34.880
Oh yeah.
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.359
There's like no windows, there's only one way out.
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:37.839
Yeah.
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:39.680
He's like, this is the perfect kill room.
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:47.200
This next part uh I thought was the worst scene in the whole show because uh Dexter goes, I do need one more thing from you.
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:48.319
Oh, the boat.
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:49.440
He's gotta have his boat back.
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:50.960
Slice of life too.
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:51.440
Yeah.
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:52.720
The boat happens.
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:53.920
What's the timeline here?
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:55.039
The boat happens what?
00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:55.759
Immediately.
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.720
The same day he suddenly got a boat and it has the name on it already.
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:03.359
He cuts literally from that scene to the next scene.
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:03.519
Yeah.
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:05.680
He has a boat that he bought from a what?
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:07.039
A boat dealer in New York City.
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:07.759
Doesn't seem right.
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:08.240
Yeah.
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:12.559
Got it monogrammed with his name on it, exactly what he was looking for.
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:15.519
I just, I was so pulled out of the storyline because.
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:21.920
it was like too too much unbelievable that you're like, what like makeup and fun and I understand you gotta have some of that.
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:23.440
You don't have to have it in that moment.
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:28.880
I mean, he did say what that that Inferno thing was getting taken over, so he doesn't have his burning bodies placed.
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:29.920
So now he did need a boat.
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:31.200
He's gotta get back to the book.
00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:32.799
No question, he didn't need a boat.
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:34.400
But just like it's not believable.
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:35.200
I didn't get my name.
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:38.480
I still don't have my name on my boat, the name of my boat on there.
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:40.640
They work real fast in New York, I guess.
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:42.480
If you buy a boat, they'll just slap the name on there.
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:44.400
Yeah, like why literally at the dealership.
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:44.640
Yeah.
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:44.880
Yeah.
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:46.000
And then put you out on it.
00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:46.400
Okay.
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:47.200
All right, fine.
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:49.519
It was, it was, it made me go, ha ha ha.
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:50.559
Did you see it coming by the way?
00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:51.440
I totally saw it coming.
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:53.279
Yeah, I knew that he'd get a boat back.
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:53.440
Yeah.
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:54.079
I was last year.
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:55.200
I guess he didn't get to keep Prater's yacht.
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:01.519
I mean, he didn't get to keep Prater's yacht from like last season, I guess.
00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:05.920
So um I didn't like that the media was putting the screws on Detective Melvin.
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:06.400
I know, right?
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:07.839
And they're like, their daughters or whatever.
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:10.799
Okay, I'm like, yeah, first of all, you're a cop dude.
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:12.960
Like, why do your kids even have TikTok?
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:18.960
Like, you should know, first of all, and his kids are really stupid enough to like talk about stuff like that.
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:23.200
Has he not had a talk with his kids of like what I do for work is like hush, hush?
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:25.519
Like, you can't be talking about his active
cases and shit.
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:26.079
That's what you're saying.
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:27.599
Like his daughters are fucking stupid.
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:29.920
The captain said, like, get your kids off TikTok.
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:43.039
But it was uh so then they shut down, you know, Broadway and everything, or they're like patrolling it, and he said that there was gonna be a murder on Broadway, and then you notice the body falls like on a billboard that says Broadway.
00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:46.559
It becomes not much of a taunt if you're doing wordplay things.
00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:46.960
Right.
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.359
Because the cops weren't gonna have a chance at Right.
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:50.559
They solving your riddle.
00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:50.960
Like what?
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.839
You said Broadway, so they did what they were supposed to do, which was shut down Broadway.
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:55.279
You said on Broadway, yeah.
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:55.599
Yeah.
00:24:55.759 --> 00:25:05.759
Which uh it leads me to believe that the Five Borough Killer is really more about the causing hysteria in the city than he is about the thrill of getting caught.
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:06.880
It probably is, yeah.
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:08.960
He really likes to just wreak havoc and like watch it.
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:11.839
And then he peeks over the top and then uh Dexter sees him.
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:13.839
And says you're not gonna make it to your third kill.
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:14.160
Yeah.
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:15.440
Which kind of makes sense.
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:22.640
For him to get the Five Borough Killer before he gets to the third one, if that's Dexter's goal, timeline-wise makes sense because we got a lot to deal with this season.
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:25.759
We gotta get him, we gotta get Sleepy Eyed Guy.
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:26.160
Yeah.
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:29.039
Still gotta get Jaw Splitter, and then have to get the Ripper.
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:32.160
That's a lot of main character killers to take out in one season.
00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:34.640
I mean, I feel like we had a lot last season though, too.
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:36.079
Yeah, but we saw them all at the same time.
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.680
They weren't sequential kills.
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:40.559
Like they were all happening kind of all at once, and he was plotting his kills.
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:47.119
They were one per episode, but we were doing the character rocks and the story development all kind of as it was still going.
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:47.440
Right.
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:47.680
Yeah.
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:49.599
Concurrently rather than consecutively.
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:51.359
That brings us to the end of the notes.
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:52.720
Uh, do you have a fan theory?
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:53.119
Yes.
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:54.000
Okay, sweet.
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:55.519
Um, let's do
fan theories then.
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:01.039
Some people out there are saying that they don't think Don Frampt is the New York Ripper.
00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:02.079
Shut up, really?
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:02.480
Yeah.
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:07.119
There could be characters like Blessing that could be tied to the New York Ripper.
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:10.240
So people are still trying to figure this out.
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:10.799
Yeah.
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:13.279
I don't think there's a lot of mystery in this episode.
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:15.200
And maybe there is, and I'm just not sniffing it out.
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:22.000
Maybe they're leading them down a path and they're gonna right hook me, but like, as opposed to last season, where we were spending the entire season trying to figure out who the ripple is.
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:22.880
Who was it?
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:23.119
Yeah.
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:25.039
Everything all this stuff is being forced in our face.
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:29.359
I guess I do kind of enjoy the idea that there's something else going on.
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:32.559
Yeah, that there might be another like uh surprise.
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:38.720
Didn't the dialogue between Dexter and Frampt at the strip club didn't that kind of leave no doubt that he's the ripper though?
00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:41.039
It kind of did because he's like, I would never say that in public.
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:41.359
Right.
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:42.960
But he was like not hiding it.
00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:47.839
So he either likes it and likes taking credit, or he's not it, but he likes taking credit for it.
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:52.160
So therefore he knows he's not gonna get caught because it's not his DNA.
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:52.640
Right.
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:57.039
You know, so he has like no problem being like, Yeah, you're not gonna find anything.
00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:58.799
Like, come take your picture and all this stuff.
00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:00.960
I've so maybe he just likes it.
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:02.559
I've almost bought in now.
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:11.359
That's a really fun theory that he is not the ripper, he's just an old guy who is enjoying the perks of cums with being thought of as the ripper.
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:11.759
Right.
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:13.279
Because he does seem to enjoy it.
00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:18.160
He does, and he's not afraid of getting caught because he's fucking not the ri Wow.
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:20.319
Yeah, that's why he has like no fear of it.
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:20.640
Right.
00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:23.680
But hi, innocent people go to jail all the time.
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:26.640
Well, he's old and like his life sucks.
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:27.200
Right.
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:35.759
So that's like at least he gets, you know, he's gonna write it out a little bit, and if he gets put in jail or put in the chair for this, no big deal.
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:36.799
His life sucks anyway.
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:47.519
This is gonna be one of those moments we look back on when we're listening to this uh right before we're prepping for season three and going, like, do you remember when we thought Don Frampt wasn't the ripper because of a fan theory we thought?
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:48.559
Right.
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.480
We're gonna feel real dumb about this, but how awesome would it be if that's actually true?
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:52.880
Yeah.
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:57.599
So that's gotta probably start rearing its head in the upcoming storylines.
00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:05.359
Like if he discovers an inconsistency with maybe that the way that the ripper kills, or something about the story stops lining up.
00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:06.000
Right.
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:12.720
Because he is like questioning him or like seeing how he is, like maybe something won't seem right with Dexter.
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:16.160
I almost want to go back and watch it again now, looking for clues.
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:18.559
Because he says I would never say that out loud.
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:20.079
Yeah, I would never say that in public.
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:21.440
I would never admit that in public.
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:23.359
Is that him doing the bit, or is that him?
00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:24.400
Who knows?
00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:25.039
They could be right.
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:27.119
That's better than any fan theory that I found.
00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:27.920
So I'm just gonna skip.
00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:34.480
None of these other ones I found are any good, so let's just go with that one as our main one.
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:34.880
That's good.
00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:35.359
Okay.
00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:40.160
Let's go with that one as one we kind of follow through and start looking for clues as we watch season three or episode three.
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:40.960
Yeah.
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.119
See if he's legit or if he's just taking credit for someone else's stuff.
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:46.160
Yeah, I kind of love it.
00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:49.039
I'd never even crossed my mind until you said that just now.
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:52.799
I would be afraid taking credit for a different serial killer's kills.
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:56.720
I would think that like they would want that recognition and they're just gonna freaking kill me.
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:00.480
Like, sure, they want like a scapegoat, but I wouldn't take too much credit.
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:01.680
Like, they might get jealous.
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:04.160
At the same time, though, I again bring this up.
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:05.039
His life sucks.
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:06.160
There's nothing, he has nothing to lose.
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:07.039
He has nothing else.
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:07.359
Yeah.
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:09.680
He's disabled and barely getting by.
00:29:09.839 -->
00:29:10.559
He's disgusting.
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:13.200
He's gonna ride this little like adventure until the end.
00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:14.480
Because what's it matter?
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:14.799
Right.
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:16.000
Uh shits and giggles.
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:16.640
Let's do it.
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:20.720
Do you have a shits and giggles?
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:22.240
I know my oh shit moment.
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:23.440
I even wrote it in my notes.
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:25.519
Uh the oh shit moment was when Charlie showed up.
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:27.039
And Harrison clocked her.
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:29.519
I thought that was a really good introduction of Charlie.
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:30.799
That was your oh shit moment.
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.119
My oh shit moment was when the body fell.
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:33.920
They're at dinner.
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:35.759
And then it's like crash, you know.
00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:36.880
I was like, oh shit.
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:40.400
And then you see like Broadway on the sign, and you're like, oh, there's the kill.
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:53.920
I thought to myself, uh, again, and I'm gonna admit this, it was a uh bummer for me when the body came crashing down next to where our main character he killed him on the same square footage that Dexter is at.
00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:59.599
Apparently, there's only so much in New York, and they all just kind of hang out on the same block, apparently.
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:03.119
New York's only uh what, eight blocks long in this world?
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:07.440
Yeah, and it's like uh I'm here by this killer, and then this guy just dumped a body.
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:14.559
In the first season, they were acknowledging how big New York is because of the changing of daylight and seems like you're running out, flying a chopper everywhere.
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:16.960
And this one, it seems it's just right in your backyard.
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:18.400
They can't get away from each other.
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:19.359
Exactly.
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:20.720
I do think you're right.
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:23.359
We might not have long with the five borough killer.
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:25.039
This next episode might be the end of him.
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:26.960
Oh, you don't think he's gonna make it to five?
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:31.839
No, I think that because Dexter declared you're not even gonna make it to three, he's coming in and he's gonna take care of it.
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:32.000
Yeah.
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:35.759
Once Dexter says that, he's you know, he is kind of a I always get my man kind of guy.
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:36.160
Yeah.
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:38.319
So he's like seen his face at this point.
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:43.039
So he's gonna And again, Sleepy Eyed and Jaw Splitter both have to get taken down this season as well.
00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:45.200
And whoever the Ripper is.
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:48.079
Again with this, whoever the Ripper is.
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:48.640
I like it.
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:49.440
I like the theory.
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:51.440
Uh did you have a giggle moment from it?
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:52.160
I had a few of them.
00:30:52.319 --> 00:31:00.000
My funniest one I thought was when Quinn shows up and Dexter is analyzing it and says the quote, Quinn isn't any city's finest.
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:00.640
I know.
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:02.400
I was like, oh, poor Quinn.
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:05.200
It's like you're not bringing much to the table.
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:12.160
It did make me make my heart hurt for Quinn, who I I have discovered that I like more than I remember in this show.
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:14.559
When he's not being a dick, yeah, I do like his character.
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:16.720
Yeah, I didn't like it when he was hitting on the bartender.
00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:18.400
Um, that was dick.
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:26.799
Um my LOL moment was I think it was right before Charlie showed up or something, but uh Dexter's like, oh, so how's your like field officer?
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:28.720
You know, is she gonna like ride you hard?
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:31.519
All you know, and he's just like, Dad, can we talk about something else?
00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:37.279
Like Harrison, who's usually a pretty smooth liar, could not lie his way out of that awkward situation.
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:39.839
Yeah, he's just like, oh, let's talk about something else.
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:44.480
Also, the line that she said, Fiona says, uh, who did you have to fuck to get into homicide?
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:44.960
I know.
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:46.240
That was a good entrance.
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:47.039
I really liked it.
00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:50.559
And then she is kind of pissed off about it because she's like, I'm a Nepo baby, and I still had to wait.
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:52.240
That brings us to the end of my notes.
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:53.039
You got anything further?
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:54.319
Nope, that's all I got.
00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:59.599
So the good thing about us releasing an episode so late in the week is that we already have preview episodes.
00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:02.880
I kind of like hate trailers, so I never watch them.
00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:05.039
What are we expecting from episode three?
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:12.160
It picks up where it left off as far as Dexter looks up and he sees the five boroughs killer and then he takes off.
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:13.279
And so there's like a chase.
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:13.680
Okay.
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:21.119
Um, the sleepy-eyed strangler or whatever, he shows up, he gets invited, you know, and there's the whole setup of them getting introduced.
00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:21.759
Okay.
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:22.079
All right.
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:24.319
So that's all going down this episode, we think.
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:24.880
Yes.
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:25.759
All right, all right.
00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:28.880
A lot to look forward to in Dexter Resurrection.
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:33.119
Uh, we would like to apologize just one more time for us releasing this episode so late.
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:34.400
That's not what we meant to do.
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:36.559
Uh, just schedules did not work out.
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:40.720
Um, but we are looking forward to continuing on with On the Table with Melanie and Jake.
