3.9 About Last Night Dexter: "Did he just lie? To me?" I spent most of this episode with my stomach in knots, so I'm thinking it was extremely suspenseful. I kept expecting George King to go back and finish Anton off, and he very nearly did. Anton escaped by the skin of his teeth. (Had to say it; sorry about that.) And now that Deb has seriously disrespected King, I'm betting she's the next target. Oh, my stomach. (That poor Mario guy should be worried, too. I hope he and his family are on a fast train out of town.) At least George King is finally on Dexter's radar. *And* Miguel's. Miguel said casually that the trees at his house just got trimmed. Do I sense karma approaching? Something massive is coming, for sure. Letting King go so that he could track him himself may have been a huge mistake on Miguel's part. Well, that, and breaking Dexter's code. Dexter actually got furiously angry, another first for him. Deb was going nuts, and who could blame her? Love and guilt, powerful combination. I thought it was rather frightening that Deb did exactly the opposite of what Dexter told her to do with George King, though. And I actually started liking Quinn. He was good back-up for Deb, and I loved the way he just drove *into* the building where Anton was being held. Doo dah, doo dah. In the opening scene, a euphoric Miguel was whistling "Camptown Races". Then Harry was whistling it in the graveyard when Dexter found Ellen Wolf's body, almost like an I-told-you-so. In the end, Dexter was whistling the same tune as he checked Miguel's shirt for the blood he already knew wasn't there. I think that symbolized a shift in control of the situation. Miguel still thinks he's manipulating everyone and that he can outwit Dexter. I don't think so, Miguel. The scene where Rita confronted Miguel made me uncomfortable. It felt like she wasn't safe with him. Miguel used the same phrases when he was confronted by both Dexter and Rita, and called them both "wise" and "insightful". I'm certain Miguel will try to kill Dexter. Will he come at him through Rita? Bits and pieces: -- We never saw what Miguel said to George King in the interrogation room because the camera was off. What did they say to each other? -- Dexter apologized to the body of Ellen Wolf. And Maria was an emotional basket case, crying in Miguel's arms. "I'm here for you, Maria." Right. -- During his lunch date with Dexter, Miguel was stabbing his lunch. Like the fish a few episodes ago. -- Angel's Barbara is the Wikipedia of perv? That's not a good sign. I knew she was too good to be true. Quotes: Syl: "When you've been married as long as we have, you know when your husband's lying." Dexter: (to himself) "Something to look forward to." Dexter: "Anton's a big guy. Lot of skin. (Deb looks at him) That's meant to be comforting." Dexter: "I didn't create a monster. I was used by one. He used me." Another excellent episode, although I'll admit it was almost too much for me. Four out of four stars, Billie View all comments or post a comment. |
