Much as it is in my inherent nature (whether forced or not) I've come to finally find the free hour or two last night to catch up to watch this newest (and last) season premiere of Dexter.
I really don't know if there is much to say about how the new season unfolded, and what transpired in episode one, other than it is a catch-up story and is merely a drab-door, placeholder, story-setting episode into what this final season holds in store. There wasn't much to be said of it as I watched the episode, and still, I can barely think up talking points here, other than how Detective Quinn seems to be taking over the role of the internal (tangible) antagonist to Dexter, which was once occupied by Sergeant Doakes in seasons 1 and 2.
Throughout the story, it was just awkwardness and non-feeling, lack of emotions, and maybe I'm over-analysing it here, but very evident sub-par acting performances by much of the main family of cast (perhaps it was intentionally written this way - to be 'awkward' ; devoid of feeling, comprehension as a grieving exposition of what occured in last season's finale).
And a last mention that may only exclusively pertain to me: what happened to half of the cast looking so gaunt? (It looks as though Dexter, Deb and Quinn lost ten pounds each, amongst others but these are the most noticeable, and its most evident in their shallow and sullen faces.)
I'll be scheduling a viewing of episode two sometime later tonight, and then after that, I believe I'll have caught up.
