  • You guys just wrote a novel in the comments..

  • Lumen Ann pierce I hate you!!!! Ok actually I hate the writers! Why couldnt they extend Julia on another season? Why did they have to write her off by making her leave Dexter so fast??? It really crushed me to see Dexter so hurt and alone again... Poor Dex... His stare into the camera at the very last scene was so beautiful sigh... Marry me Michael c hall now that u r single!

  • i liked this season it though it felt really short.

  • Season Five tied up a lot of loose ends it there wasn't nearly as much killing as the other seasons but the excitement of the chase was still very interesting I personally think this season so A lot better then season 3 and 1 but just wasn't as up to bar as 2 and 4 but still a great season cant wait for six

  • This season 5 was one of the best season!!! The best season nro 2 - 4 - 5 -3 - 1

  • @EllSieMoviesDexter didn't kill Doaks

  • y r the comments soo longg

  • @EllSieMovies me too season six will start off with a clean slate this season they had to tackle a serial killer with greif and lumen was a good way for dex to greive although im not to happy how she left she did have to go she served her purpose and quinn well im sure he'll never mess with dex again especailly since he saved his ass season six could go anywhere i want dex to face his like ultimate nemsis someone with the doakes instict, lundys brains, and trinitys evil while deb on his ass too

  • Season 4 dragged out way too long. It just didn't add up: Dex missing easy opportunities to dispatch Trinity. I began to get really bored. Among the best of the season was Trinity's family; so weird. But the writers got bogged down by the endless chase and I wanted to throw my TV against the wall. Note: Everyone "has the right to diss writers who work their asses off ." It's called the "right to free speech," and "artistic differences." This can help the writers, d-ss.

  • I like this season better than season 4.

  • idk abt her performance in e show. imo her performance is a little less intense as what should be when a person such as her character, should feel like when she went through e things she did. i mean, i dont feel enough controlled anger, fear and those complicated emotions being protrayed. just my 2cents.

  • sadly this season there was no code. The low-life in the restroom that Dexter kills deserved to get his teeth knocked out but not killed. Same with Liddy. Very unlikeable but why did he deserve to die?

  • Dangerousgirl please sign up for a writing class. I skimmed through your posts. You are an idiot. You try to use gamer words like "troll" and then do not use the proper you, your or you're. From what I see you're the one commenting on all the people posting here.

  • She has small boobs :D

  • 0:34. My favourite part. ^^

  • having julia stiles in the show, was a bad move.

  • so... where can I see the full interview?

  • Just watched the final episode, great ending showtime! I do wish Lumen had stayed though, I thought Dexter finally having someone he can confide his secrets to would help him out but I guess he isn't meant to have that kind of help....yet.

    Loved how Debra let the "vigilantes" go. I knew she would. Maybe now Quinn will stop riding dexter and cut him some slack.

  • @CorruptedBios Do you know if theres going to be a new season? Without Dexter i will die!

  • @DrTranify yea there is a season 6

  • @CorruptedBios Me too. It's a bit itchy for me that when they introduce an intresting and potentially well developable character, they write them off by the end of the season. Don't get me wrong, Dexter's been well awarded up until now, but it's getting a bit tedious. I like how each season has a relatively new premise, but they should try writing out 2 seasons where the plot continues to the other. Kinda like Breaking Bad. I would love for them to try it. Otherwise, cant wait for season 6!

  • Okay, you are the one who has just sent me four replies, so obviously this is bothering you. I find this whole thread semi-amusing, so I suppose I'll keep responding. You are the one who first resorted to name calling and obscenities. I don't know her at all; I just happen to agree with her. Your replies have given me some laughs, I'm not being sarcastic.

  • Honestly i like the relationship between luman and dexter better than rita, i think the fact dexter can be so comfortable around her is awesome, and the fact Luman knows about dexter and she sticks around and helps him is amazing them have an amazing bond :) i like them as a couple, Julia is amazing as her role :), i think their perfect and equally sick for eachother xD

  • keep lumen alive !

  • the first time i heard she was going to be on this show, i rolled my others and thought why. now i'm glad she's in it, hope she doesn't get killed off.

  • Hey Lumen! :D

  • Did people honestly LIKED Rita? Or is everyone just defending her because she died? I mean, in my opinion she was the most annoying character in this show, she was needy clingy boring and just awful. I wish I had been the one to kill her! And besides her death is what made season 4 finale great. I like Lumen, her personality suites Dexter's, I sincerely hope they keep her on the show, plus julia stiles is awesome :)

  • @anamulleer i know i love Luman with dexter more than rita, Luman knows the truth and still chooses to stick around, she connects with him on so many levels, and she's equally fuckd up as dexter is which makes their connection right on. i was rooting when they banged xD hahaha.

  • WHERE IS DEB LIVING?????? Riddle me this, "writers": She's not living with Quinn, because they're having an argument. Lumen is staying with Dexter at the apartment and he doesn't want her found. WHERE IS DEB STAYING DURING ALL OF THIS??? Maybe she's shacked up with the Venezuelan cop who disappeared after everyone ceased to give a fuck about the Santa Muerte case. You know, Venezuelan cop who supposedly moved to Deb's department, possibly even to her very desk after Laguerta screwed Deb. WHY???

  • @littlepsyche Debra is living with Carlos Fuentes brother.

    They're going to marry soon, I heard ( In the show, I mean).

    ^^

  • OK. Here's the issue I have with the Lumen plot line: The idea that Lumen 'knows' Dexter and really SEES him is purely due to extenuating circumstances. There is nothing to suggest a growth of personalities meant for each other. The Lumen plot line could have happened with Rita--Lumen's character is uninteresting. What made Rita and Dexter's relationship interesting were the hints at her possibly POSSIBLY being able to accept him for what he did for a living...without giving it fully away.

  • @littlepsyche Part 2 of rant: Rita was written into a nag toward the end of season 4. This was a disservice to her original character and Julie Benz who had so much more to offer. and now Lumen was introduced as a nag. Always bumbling into things, refusing to leave, ALWAYS rejoicing in Dexter's use of plurals. ("You said WE!" Drives me insane. Every time.) I'll regret saying what I HOPE happens to her character, but let me just say I'd rather see Dexter hook up w/ Sam Liddy.

  • @littlepsyche That's false because it's not that simple. You can't design the plot line in a way that Dexter wakes up and just tells Rita he's a serial killer. Rita eventually grew into a boring character because she didn't really added to the story at all. You know, it was Dexter's wife. Full stop. How interesting.

    However, Lumen is more interesting because connects with dexter step by step, and she finally knows all about him, and what he does.

    So it's not really an uninteresting character.

  • @littlepsyche

    Wow dude I have never seen someone so completely wrong about something so vividly. I'll give you the where is Deb staying but Rita was a nag from the beginning but no character development for Lumen or Dexter? Are you kidding? And it could have happened with Rita? How? He would have saved her from Trinity or some bull like that? She would have left him, simple. Lumen is a deep character with deep emotions who went through a terrible thing, which is why she understands Dexter.

  • Everyone who hates this season must be a rapist

  • @mrostos MSEDENX is a RAPIST! :P

  • @sean04201 I don't see why you have to be a rapist cause you criticize writers for runining a great show. Please enlighten me with your Neanderthal-logic. Your "arguments" are just childish and ridiculous. I understand now why you like season 5. It's just as slow and ridiculous as you guys.

  • @DenimZero I thought 3 and 4 were great... 5 on the other hand..

  • I love having her on the show! I don't think the writers really know how to include her in the next season though... I think that Dexter's sister is goin to somehow figure out who the 13th victim is and then something is going to happen to Lumen.

  • @DenimZero One of the three from the original creativ team, Clyde Philips, was still around season 3 and 4. And season 4 was great IMO.

  • @DenimZero thanks for tellin about the writers but your an idiot for saying season for a five were bad fuck you u piece of shit.

  • @ every idiot talking down the writers stfu you fucktards they have brought us every great season of dexter 1,2, 3 and 4 just because this season isnt to your liking doesnt mean you go and diss the writers who put in soo much effort to give us seasons like 1and 4 u douchebags aint real fans. but this season to me has been one of my favs julia FTW.

  • @Lawliethatake I second this. Other than new minor characters and each season's new villains and such, I'm never usually big on NEW major leading characters coming in. It usually messed up the vibe in my opinion, but Julia does a wonderful job if you ask me and I've really been enjoying Season 5 (haven't got around to finishing it all yet).

  • @uluru28 Do you have any idea how far a telescopic camera lens can take photos from?

  • B E A utiful.

  • Also, the whole thing when Dexter draws blood from Jordan's vial, and thinks he did it in a way that can't be noticed. But, it turns out he was wrong, and Jordan knows something is up. Oh, OK. To have a plot line hinge around such a dumb, arbitrary mistake is just pure laziness from the writers. It happens all the time in other shows. but Dexter's standards are usually above this sort of thing, which makes it disappointing.

  • I agree this season is a little sub-par, along with season 3, though even a weak season of Dexter is still pretty damn good. Julia Stiles is pretty but a quite limited actress IMO. Actually, up until episode 6 or so, I thought this season was excellent. But the writing has gotten lazy. This whole time I thought Dexter was dumping bodies 10 miles from shore; turns out he was doing it close enough that Liddy could photo him? It's totally inconsistent with the logic of the show and the character.

  • They have simply tweeked the show to catch more viewers, and personally i think this is by far the worst season, followed up closely by season 3. Season 1 and 4 are godly though. Hope they either get new writers or end the show with some dignity left.

    Seriously, what original stuff have we seen this season?

  • @Krakkulf You're absolutely right. IMO season 1, 2 and 4 are the best. What people don't seem to get is that the whole original writingteam behind Dexter has left the show. Which explains the bad storyline. If they don't get the old writers back or get new ones, Dexter is lost forever : (

  • @MsEdenX

    just goes to show how much opinions differ....You praise season2 ....I personally think season 2 wasn't so great at all. I think in order season 1, 4 and 5 were the top 3. Season 2 ended up just being a clusterfuck of very convenient little events for dexter. That ruins things, not 4 episodes of lumen. I like seeing my favorite serial killer use that brain of his to get away...as opposed to having things conveniently play out for him. Anyways...opinions are like assholes right.

  • @acidbug Yeah, opinions differ but it's ok when we can talk like this : )

    No I don't praise season 2. I've said that season 1,2 and 4 are the best IMO. If I should rank them it would be season 1, 4 and 2, in that order.

    And there's been more than 4 episodes of Lumen... She's totally dominated the season : ( 

    I agree with you, I also like seeing Dexter use his brain, but there's been too little of that this season. Hopefully there'll be better writers next season. At least Lumen is gone...

  • @MsEdenX

    Haha ya...funny how I saw that and for some odd reason the first thing i thought was "well, that guy Eden is gonna be really happy about this." lol

  • @DoctorDoomXIII Well for me season 5 is already the best one. Accept that everyone have own favorite season.

  • what is everyone talking about? this is by far the best season of dexter yet, and maybe the last.

  • ughhh she ruined the show for reals

  • I have been a Dexter fan since the first time I watched it... My boyfriend and I were actually debating on whether or not to watch this season because we were so disappointed with the last two.... But I have to say.... I love this season....The storyline is amazing... Julia Stiles is really great... I can't wait for Sunday =]  This coming from a huge Rita fan... But I think that Julia Stiles has defiantly earned her keep.... Also Lumen has given Dexter something Rita never could, freedom =]

  • I feel like I may have enjoyed this season more than I should have just because I like looking at julia stiles :) I would agree that it's not the best season, but it's definitely up to par with the others.

  • @maxdez92 BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • @maxdez92 how the hell was she selfish?

  • Julia Stiles is the best addition to Dexter since....Julia Stiles!! LOVE HER!!

  • I dont think there will be back to back seasons of Dexters semi girlfriend and wife being murdered. It would be awesome if Luman stays.

  • She has to be a permanent character! Her and Dexter are the best together, this is the best season ever! I thought it was impossible to top the brilliance of Season 4 but they did! She has to come back next season!

  • @AutomaticPrincess74 agreed. this season is the best in my opinion. The developement of their relationship is such a good addition to the show ! I really hope she becomes a regular too !

  • @AutomaticPrincess74 No, no, no. Season 4 was brilliant with lots of great drama. John Lithgow was excellent as Trinity. This season can't compare with that what so ever. Jonny Lee Miller is great though. Dexter & Lumen is predictable and boring. Lumen is too prominent on the show and it's just taking over everything. They might as well rename the show and call it "Dexter & Lumen" and not "Dexter"... : (

  • @MsEdenX BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • @sean04201 How old are you? 12??

  • @MsEdenX  you must be to not love Lumen! take a prozac and calm down boy, now go make me a sandwich!

  • @sean04201 Clearly you're delusional. And you sound like a fanatatical fan... What's so hard to understand?? Lots of people who used to enjoy Dexter are disappointed with this season. I'm not the only one. Lumen is boring and she's slowing the show down. The "Bonnie & Clyde-partnership" is ridiculous. The show has come to be more about Lumen than Dexter and that's not right.

  • @MsEdenX dude you been watching this season Dexter is greving through Lumen and shes brought the old dexter back from ritas death if you can recall the episode take it

  • @Lawliethatake The old Dexter is gone! It's all about Lumen now. Dexter has been reduced to a supporting actor in his own show. That's how bad it is. I diss the writers if I want cause they are ruining the character that the old writers created. But you're so ignorant so you didn't even know that they had changed writers. If YOU were a real fan you should know that and be disappointed instead of agreeing with this bs-storyline. Lumen is boring and she also makes Dexter boring, simple as that.

  • @MsEdenX lol dude it still a good show and season but if you dont like the season your entitled to your dumb opinion but you got no right to diss writers who work their ass off make this season even if they are new Dexters brought you good stuff before so stfu and you know something i was wrong before you were right the old dexter is gone hes slowly becoming more human by each season harrys code aint as strong as as it used to be its called character development

  • @Lawliethatake No it's not a good season. It's the weakest season ever! Clearly you're too stupid to see the difference in quality. Again, I'm never gonna praise bad writing AND I don't think they work their asses off either! They are sloppy and inconsistent. Boring Santa Muerte storyline which just disappeared all of a sudden... And boring Lumen who is ruining the show and is making Dexter stupid and boring too. The interesting characters (Liddy and Jordan) gets hardly any airtime. ..

  • @MsEdenX you only want the dexter that YOU think is best for the show but i like Dexters evolution and so do most people and if you think im wrong look at the ratings hate on stiles all you want go eat some cookie dough and eat your feelings u fat bitch

  • @Lawliethatake No, most people do NOT want Lumen on the show. If you look beyond this comment section you see plenty of people that want her gone! Lumen has not contributed to the ratings, it's loyal fans like me who STILL watches the show DESPITE Lumen that keep the ratings up (for now). It's rather pointless to discuss anything with a neanderthal like you anyway who can't keep a discussion on a civil level and instead of good arguments just has a bad & rude language.

  • @MsEdenX lol

  • @MsEdenX This is exactly what i meant your going on and on and on forcing your opinions just stfu and deal with the fact ppl don't agree with you simple. i like lumen if you dont then stfu and just stop dragging on your stupid opinions. and who are these "people" your friends? a lot of people actually do like Lumen so maybe it's just you and all the little fairies in your head that dont like her. Goodbye :) just wanted to point out YOUR responses as proof that your the idiot forcing opinions.

  • @DangerousGirlxox What's really crazy here is YOUR response. Talk about being overly aggressive and overreact... You even followed me to another video-clip and commented me there!! You're not "dangerous" girl, you're completly psycho. Being ignored by you would be a blessing so just stay away.

  • @MsEdenX I did that just to prove how pathetic and forcing of opinions you are, if you don't agree or you hate Lumen and think your better then the writers go live in your fantasy world and stfu and stop trying to force your opinions on people and bothering them. goodbye you lonely fat cow go find a social life :) while your home alone watching dexter and hating on this season ill be cuddling up to someone :) lonely whores.

  • @DangerousGirlxox No wonder your so bitter your probably an old woman who got dumped many times and your husband left you ... if anyone was even brave enough to marry your bitter ass :) Bye now.

  • @DangerousGirlxox I feel sorry for your boyfriend being stuck with an ugly, nasty and vulgar person like yourself. When he leaves, and "sweetheart" he will someday, you will not last a day on your own cause you're SO weak and pathetic.

  • @DangerousGirlxox No, it's not just me or friends of mine who don't like Lumen. You should try and google "I hate Lumen" and open your eyes. It's about 50/50 how people feel about her.

  • @MsEdenX Okay since you think you can write the script so much better go contact the producers im sure they'll get a kick out of your stupidity :)

  • @Lawliethatake You don't have to be fanatical about every season or episode just cause you like a series. Many of us think that they are ruining our favourite show with bad writing and we have every right to object and criticize them for it! That's called CARING about a character and about a show! If someone here is a non-fan it's you since you have no problem with someone else taking over the show (Lumen) at Dexter's expense! So you can stfu and go and rent a Julia Stiles movie instead.

  • @MsEdenX never said i liked every season dont like season 3 and many of us like julia stiles changing dexter shes allowed him to to grieve properly and become more human in the process dexter was a robot in season1 and the more emtional he got throughout each season the higher the consequences season 4 for example and in recovering from ritas death thtrough lumen dexter has become fully human come on you really havent noticed you dumbshit change is needed or the character becomes static

  • @Lawliethatake A change FOR THE WORSE is definately NOT needed. May I remind you that Dexter is supposed to be a sociopath/psychopath? You and the writers may have forgotten all about that but I haven't... Fact is that people with that kind of personality disorder can't change that much! So it goes completly against the character. Dexter was unique and now the show is ruined cause they want to make everything cute and lovey dovey. There's enough silly shows that you can watch if you want that.

  • @MsEdenX

    "The show is ruined"

    You act as if you're better than the writers let them decide whats right for the show. Throughout most of the seasons Dexter is debating with himself as to 'what he is'.

  • @MsEdenX & i suppose the show wasnt already lovey dovey when dexter was being the protective father of the year/ best husband ? get over it Luman is a good character and the fact dexter has someone who "knows" who he really is and still sticks by him is interesting.

  • @Lawliethatake amen to every word.

  • @MsEdenX i'm sorry that your bored with your life, did you bf leave you or something? go have a fucking happy meal. you sour old bitter hag.

  • @DangerousGirlxox Instead of harrassing people whose opinions differ from your own, you should go back to school and learn proper grammar and punctuation.

  • @lak12111 sweetheart im not harassing if she can talk shit and state her pathetic opinions and harass everyone who disagrees why can i not speak openly? stfu and go mind you own business and i am in school actually probably further then you :) kthxbye.

  • @DangerousGirlxox Are you kidding, you don't even know the difference between "than" and "then." You are just embarrassing yourself and letting everyone on here know how ignorant you are.

  • @lak12111 First off my comments werent even towards you :) so how bout you go swallow a dick and mind your own buisness :) kay thx.

  • @DangerousGirlxox Honestly, why are you being so hateful? Why can't you stand the fact that not everyone likes talentless Julia Stiles? Are you fucking in love with her or something?

  • @lak12111 I am not being hateful im simply giving her a taste of her own medicine is she can go on and on bothering others with her opinion why is it suddenly horrible when i do the same thing to her? why is it okay that she is harassing and forcing her opinions on others but she can't take it when it's done to her? she needs to grow up and learn if she doesn't want things to be done to her then she sould grow up and not do it to others. simple.

  • @lak12111 she'll get treated the way she treats others, and honestly its not even your buisness i don't know why your up my ass my comments weren't towards you so just fuck off and mind your own buisness, do you even know her? have you met her face to face? i'm guessing that's a no. so don't be up my ass and harassing me when this has nothing to do wit you. Grow up your friend can handle her own battles she's 34 years old she does not need a babysitter. Now kindly leave me alone as this has

  • @lak12111 Nothing to do with you, my comments were directed at her NOT you so fuck off and go back to whoreville and play with yourself. Learn to stay out of peoples buisness, didn't your mother ever teach you anything useful. Let people handle their own battles especially when they are over 30 grow the fuck up. if she isn't prepared to handle what she dishes out to others then maybe she should learn to keep her opnions to herself and not harass and bother people who don't agree.

  • @lak12111 i'm just showing her how it feels. Now fuck off and go run off and find something more productive to do then fight that whores battles. You both need to run off and go get your life back. Lonely whores. and no i think Julia is a good actress so what if you think she isn't do i give a fuck? this isnt about her acting or even her its about your bitch of a lesbian lover wasting so much time trash talking her and bashing her character if she hates her then stfu and move on.

  • @DangerousGirlxox You seem like a very primitive being. I'm not bored with my life just cause I don't like what's happening to the show. Are you stupid for real? You don't have to be bitter, bored or have no boyfriend just cause you have opinions about something! If you like Lumen I guess you're just as dull as her and that why YOU probably have problems attracting a boyfriend. Especially with that nasty attitude. Seek help.

  • @MsEdenX I'm sorry i think your mixing up our lives you se i;m the one who's been in a steady relationship for 4 years and still is :) kay? Understand? Don't confuse your life for mine :) and looking back on the comments you are a troll because you were the one replyin to every single person who didn't agree with your opinions about Lumen and shoving your bullshit opinions down their throat :) i just added my two cents in therefore i am not the one replying to 50 ppl just to prove a point :)

  • @DangerousGirlxox You're so insecure, pathetic and embarrasing. Who cares if you have a boyfriend or not? Since you seem to live your life through this show I still doubt it. I don't want your life and I would never want to be a stupid, ignorant and nasty person like you! And fyi, I posted my OPINION which I have every right to do, after all this is a COMMENT SECTION!! And when idiots like yourself commented I commented them back. Again, I have every right to even though it's pretty pointless.

  • @MsEdenX Oooo Burn? No. and i have the right to say whatever the fuck i want also so too bad :) if you cant handle it then maybe you shouldn't open your own mouth in the first place :) and yes i do have a bf and he watches the show too which is how i got to watching it in the first place i really could care less if you believe me or not im not trying to proove anything :) so good day. maybe you should go find yourself a bf since you reply to every damn comment stating your opinions your clearly

  • @DangerousGirlxox Back already? Though you said goodbye and ignore? Yep, you really are pathetic. According to you it doesn't seem that I have any right to respond to rude comments, whether it's from you or from others. But I DO. And I will never let idiots like you silence me.

  • @MsEdenX The one that has nothing better to do but come here time and time again just to force your opinions on these people who gives a fuck go find someone who can actually stand being with you, :) your probably some cheap whore anyway. good day. :)

  • @MsEdenX Oh and last thing your obviously the one who cares since your the one that brought up the boyfriend thing anyway im sorry you feel the need to bring my relationship status into this cause your unhappy with your own now please go to hell and marry the devil since hes the only one brave enough to ever look twice at you :) bye bye now. Whore.

  • @DangerousGirlxox No, YOU'RE the one who started talking about boyfriends and that I didn't have a boyfriend just cause I had the nerve to think different than you! That's how primitive you are in your thinking! Now, go and live through your boyfriend. You couldn't even discover Dexter without him HA HA HA.

  • @DangerousGirlxox Oh, and finally PSYCHO GIRL - you never did explain why you STALKED ME to that other video-clip just to defend Lumen. So, despite of your "fantastic life" you seem to find the time for important things like stalking...

    Face it, you're crazy for real. Again, seek help.

  • @MsEdenX So therefore i'm good :) i said what i have to say and i am going to go out with my family now , considering i have a life :) goodbye and don't reply to me, cause your just asking to be ignored :D Kthanksbye.

  • @MsEdenX This season is so much better than the last season. If you are really that obsessed with Rita, than you can watch her on Boondock Saints 2. But I prefer to watch a ever evolving Dexter who learns and grows from his mistakes. Lumen is ever improving Dexter. The intelligent observations and the feelings him and Lumen are sharing are very interesting to anyone who has ever had a girlfriend or loved a woman. Don't take this personally but you are a debbie downer. Every post has one i guess.

  • @sean04201 "Dexter" should have some darkness (like season 1, 2 and 4) and not turn into another romantic drama series, like I said there are other shows that you softies can watch if you want that. Obesessed with Rita? I haven't even mentioned her so what are you talking about?? Lumen is NOT improving Dexter. She's making him boring and stupid and that's all. A psychopath can NEVER have the kind of relationship that you're talking about, that's why it's all so ridiculous.

  • @sean04201 But since you mention Rita: Dexters relationsships with both Rita and Lila were more realistic. It wasn't perfect, which was the whole point. Dexter, as a psychopath, should be ambivalent and in conflict with himself (like he was in those relationsships). Yes, he wants to find love and understanding BUT at the same time he has always known that it won't work... Now that has suddenly changed and they've turned him into some "Romeo-boyfriend" which totally goes against character.

  • @sean04201 If you don't see the change in quality now, compared to season 4 you're beyond foolish. Season 4 had good writing and great actors. Focus was still on Dexter, as it should. John Lithgow was great and the acting between him and Michael C Hall was tv-magic. "Hello Dexter Morgan", a classic moment... You'll NEVER see something like that this season! Lumen is a bad character but Julia Stiles makes her even more boring with bad acting. That's the hard truth. Deal with it!

  • @MsEdenX I completely agree with you. Season 4 was incredible; Season 5 has definitely been a let down. I do not care for the character of Lumen whatsoever; in fact, I find her quite annoying. Julia Stiles does not belong on Dexter.

  • @lak12111 You're so right. Finally another person who's sane here, besides me ; )

  • She is such a hottie!

  • Who thinks Lumen is going to die?

  • I happen to like Lumen on the show! I felt like Rita was really slowin down season 4. I always felt the urge to fast-forward through the rita scenes last season, lol. Lumen is cute, and is perfect for Dex cuz he can be his true self towards her when he could never do that back in the day with Rita. I love this season, and i love Lumen. I'd hate to see her get killed off. That's just me.

  • @pretzy2 yea I agree. Season 4 was boring because it seemed to drag on. It was exactly the same thing as season 3 cept instead of dealing with dealing with being a serial killer/ husband it was serial killer/ father and Harry telling Dexter *in his mind* that he was going to hurt them if he tried to lead this double life. He was right, Rita ended up getting murdered because of him. I love the dynamic of the story now that Lumen is with Dexter... She adds a great arc to the story line.

  • She's good on Dexter. I like the whole storyline, but I don't think she's going to stay. I enjoyed watching the two of them bond and was slightly disappointed when they had sex. All I could think was "Is it not possible to have a female/male relationship portrayed in television without sex?" I saw him more as her mentor, not her lover. I don't want anything bad to happen to her, though, but a suicide would be kinda cool & unexpected.

  • @poopiehead61 yea but Dexter didn't even want to do anything with her. She was the one who approached him and took off his shirt and Dexter was like "oh.... alright" he was a mentor to her but she took it to the next level. But I have a feeling that She's going to end up on Dexter's table at the end of season 5... Because these writers are nothing if not predictable when it comes to the fate of their guest stars.

  • @poopiehead61 well, i think at first he was his mentor, but in ep 9 and 10 (especially 10), seriously, it's so obvious that he's falling for her ! the way he gets scared when she's reckless, the way he looks at her, tells her she looks perfect... it was more than just a mentor thing at the end for me... they have a great chemistry, I was really looking forward to something more

  • I hope her character disappears from the show somehow at the end of this season because I can't stand her mechanical acting much longer.

  • I hope they're not gonna kill her. Dexter lost enough people... His mother, Harry, his brother (well, he killed him -_-) Rita... come on. Poor guy.

    Anyway, this show is awesome.

  • Lumen has to go. Dexter doesn't need a partner in crime, it ruins the whole concept of the show and it feels more like "Bonnie & Clyde"... The worst season so far, especially disappointing since season 4 was so good.

  • @MsEdenX i actually enjoyed it more than season 4, its a huge change, and I love change

  • @lonewolf604 Well, I don't like change all that much, especially when it's for the worse (as this is IMO). Jonny Lee Miller as Jordan Chase is great though so that makes it still worth watching.

  • @MsEdenX don't worry I'm pretty confident they're gonna kill her off haha

  • @lonewolf604 Yeah, let's hope. Or at least that she returns to the smalltown that she came from... I actually like Julia Stiles otherwise but Lumen is ruining the show for me.

  • @MsEdenX for me it's the BEST season of dexter so far ! season 3 was shitty.

  • @ashdorado I didn't like season 3 that much either but this IS the worst season ever! Season 1,2 and 4 was the absolute best. Lumen is boring and the whole season has been very slow. Jordan Chase should have entered the show much earlier for instance, now everything happens in the last 3 episodes and that's not good IMO. The whole original creative team behind Dexter has quit the show so that explains a lot... : (

    Like I said earlier, I want "Dexter" - not "Bonnie & Clyde".

  • @MsEdenX SERIOUSLY???

  • In spite of convincing myself pre-season that they COULDN'T give him a new love interest so soon, JS' portrayal of Lumen has won me over.

    All of my experience as a meta-viewer tells me they have to kill her off. All I ask is that, if they MUST ... that it not suck.

  • She's a very sexy woman.

  • she is awsome in dexter, hope they keep her

  • Oh and I will be fucking pissed if they kill her, HEAR THAT SHOWTIME?? "Become BFF to Dexter and Die" is so played out already.

  • @Anastasia1825

    What an episode!

    You could see where it was headed with the looks Dexter was giving her. I still feel like it's too soon for Lumen to be sexing it up with someone [remember her freaking out at the airport?] but at least she was the one to initiate it, and Dexter let her, <333... awww, our boy has a crush.

    Dexter's monologue at the end just confirmed that I want Julia/Lumen to come back next season.

  • they're gonna kill her. they've made us love the whole partner in crime thing, dexter and lumen, just so they can kill her. oh fuck.

  • the whole partner in crime thing is fantastic. and I knew as she would grow closer to him and also a nice built up for some sex... if she was smokin hot this woud be UN-BELIEVABLE!...but oh well she's not, I dont digg her acting as well. I really dont like Julia Stiles but Lumen's character is probably the closest thing to true love we've ever saw and will see.

    My guess writers will make her stay and I have mixed feeling about it since I don't digg her personally or her looks.

  • i love Julia Stiles , even since in like 2 episodes i felt like she is not that good actor , now i think she had improved and i love her , not to mention she has awesome body :)

  • am i the only one who wants lumen gone? lol i got a bad feeling about her...somehow shes going to get dexter in trouble, i dunno. we'll see

  • thats my girl :)

  • I'm also really loving Lumen. Finally Dexter has a friend that knows him and accepts him for what he really is. Bonus points for not being a complete psycho like Lila and Miguel.

    I know there's 0% chance of anything romantic happening between them this season but I want to see where it goes, please don't kill her off!!

  • @northbynw08 Don't be so sure about the 0% thingy. I mean Lumen is hot as hell and Debra & Astor both were hinting that Lumen was Dexters girlfriend, maybe something happens at the end of the season.

    BTW Episode 10 is out and im at school, CANT DOWNLOAD AT SCHOOL

    FUCK SCHOOL, I WANNA SEE DEXTER.

    CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I GET HOME........CAN NOT WAIT CANT WAIT OMFG OMFG GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAH

  • I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying her character. I'll be upset if she leaves.

  • I LOVE THIS WOMAN. PLEASE KEEP HER AROUND.

  • Guest stars tend to only last a season on Dexter. Their characters also tend to, um, ... die. Hope JS/Lumen is the exception.

  • ar u fackig kidnig me? oO ur noob

  • She's my favorite guest star on Dexter ever. I really hope she stays.

  • she one of the best guest star i hope she stays on for away like all off season 6

  • she's got a sexy voice

  • Julia Stiles *needs* to be a full time cast member.

  • i like lumen's character. and i'm sure julia stiles is a good person... BUT she sucks at acting and ruins lumen for me...

  • @mundanelifeof . How would you know? She is very believable in not only her voice inflection and body language but she has taken the character and made it her own. I'm sick of people acting like they can tell what good acting is. Example of bad actress. RITA RITA RITA.

  • @MTjedi420 with all due respect, julia stiles is pretty awful on this show imho. she's done good work on other projects, but she is miscast as lumen and has an assortment of bad habits that get in the way of every scene she's in.

  • I think Julia is excellent in this role. by far the greatest performance I've seen from her yet. :) Loving this season as usual LoL. Ma Halo!

  • I love Luman :) really really want her to stay for future seasons please.

  • This season started off weak but as it progressed I started to like it more and more.

  • I agree she's dexters next love

  • yep, this chick's gone. after watching dexter wipe that streak of blood from her cheek, i said "die-die, lumen". she'll end up on dexter's table because she acted as bait. she lured the real victims to their deaths. "oh, help me please! i've locked my baby in the car! hurry, the car's right back here...by this nondescript, windowless van."

  • @chassygirl77 what that would be a stupid way to have it end up and what are you talking about she is the victim.

  • @TheDasboy just having fun figuring out a way for lumen to fit the code and end up that table because it's gonna happen. as for her being a victim, yeah she was. is she an innocent victim? i doubt that. she was bait then later had a falling out with one of the guys, some looney she found on the internet. he decided to "share" her with the rest of the crew. yeah this sounds farfetched but if any of it happens, i'll know that my ideas are stupid enough to make bigtime hollywood bucks as a writer.

  • @chassygirl77 maybe but I truthfully see her becoming dexter's love interest in episodes to come

  • I though she was too guyish in the beginning: just her voice and everything and I didn't like here at all, but now shes like in compitition for my fav dexter companion, along with Lila (yes, I actually liked the pyromaniac psycho)

  • yes, edward norton :O nice!! i would love to see that 2 :O

  • Lumen is great! I really hope she stays for more than just this season...

  • Julia Stiles is doing a realy good job on the show i just love her in the show til now and i must add i think all the guest stars that have been usede on the show have realy been great gj on casting them

  • "at the end I was like whats gonna happen"

    At the end of season four i pretty much gave up on humanity. :\
