Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
A criminal stashing a gun or two in his storage locker, next to his half-million in stolen jewelry, doesn't sound unreasonable to me.
1. it's possible that she found a gun in that dude's storage unit.
2. is dexter incapable of critical thought now? he was convinced that sussman was the killer and didn't even entertain the idea that his fingerprints may have been planted by someone else. that's just awful writing.

Dexter is all fucked up about Deb. So yeah, in a way, he is incapable of critical thinking. The thing that kept it from being horrible writing is that he realizes it at the end of the episode.
I'm not saying it's nobel prize in literature quality -- but it was cohesive and explained itself.
I don't think there's going to be any huge twists this final season. There might be one big one (like the shrink lady, in a surprising twist, actually ISN'T the killer!) and another small one, but so far this story is more straightforward than the show has been in 3 seasons. It's a real straight Dexter redeems himself (somehow) through Deborah story.
S1 started with his real brother and his fake father. S8 ends with his fake mother and his (real) sister. There's a symmetry to it.
The biggest possible twist is that Dexter doesn't redeem himself at all, and the show ends in some amoral nihilistic wasteland. Which would also be acceptable.

I thought it was pretty stupid how Dexter pulls his car right up to the supposed serial killer's cabin. In the middle of the woods with low noise and lights he doesn't think maybe the "killer" might hear and or see his car pull up to his front door. Not to mention the police are searching for the guy so they could pull up and find Dexter's car there at any point.

I guess it just shows how little I've come to care about the critical thinking of this show... I didn't even put two and two together that the doctor is the probably the serial killer.
and yeah, I would bet Deb has more than one gun unless the guy from Boondock Saints was with her

What happened to get Dexter out of searching the suspects house? I may have missed a step, but he went from searching the house & finding the photo of the cabin and I remember Batista / Quinn pulling up with the cop cars and then... they are having tea at his moms place?
I don't recall how he got out of being at the place of the guys house ahead of them even telling him about it.
