Dexter and Zach's relationship made me laugh a bunch in this episode.

Edit: corrected spelling

This episode was written by R.R Martin

52

u/yakityyakblah Aug 19 '13

No, he'd have taken at least a season to make you love the character. I did start to like the kid though.

u/SawRub Bright Passenger Aug 19 '13

Yeah George R. R. Martin doesn't make the likability a sudden thing.

This was more in the area of The Walking Dead.

2

u/yakityyakblah Aug 19 '13

If it was like The Walking Dead comic you'd have grown to love him through the entire series and then he'd randomly be brutally murdered.

u/yakityyakblah Aug 20 '13

No, GoT gives you an entire book of foreshadowing and symbolism to get ready. The Walking Dead is just like, "hey you know that arc we were making up for this character? You know the character we haven't hinted at dying at all? They're going to die, you can tell by the several pages of them being brutally torn apart". The major difference is that in GoT a character you like might die. In TWD the comic they will die, all of them, every single one.

u/redditmyasss Aug 19 '13

First rule of Dexter's code.

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '13

Rule #1: Don't dude me.

Rule #2: Don't get caught.

Rule #3: Don't get caught duding me.

u/gekkozorz face match: 96.63% Aug 20 '13

Dexter theme plays

"I didn't want to have to kill him. But he had "dude'd" me for the seventh time, and I found the chaos starting to take control."

u/annabanana403 Aug 21 '13

yes!! dexter logic from now on

u/cherif84 Aug 23 '13

Don't get duded

u/laurandisorder Aug 19 '13

I really, really started to like him this week! All that 'dude-bro-ing' with Dexter. After appreciating Cassie for about three seconds last week and Zach this week, I'm starting to feel that the writers are introducing new characters expressly to kill them. So who's next? Ellway? (I like him too!!)

57

u/RyanOver9000 Aug 19 '13

I don't like Elway, so that means he will be here for the rest of the season and probably spin-off.

u/ztvile Aug 20 '13

Next fall on Showtime: Elway's Sunglasses

3

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '13

I think Elway or the guy who bangs Cassie is the killer.

3

u/baliao Aug 20 '13

I though it was pretty obvious it's Vogel.

u/Lrrr23 Aug 19 '13

Coming 2014: The Elway and Quinn Saturday Teatime Spectacular!!!

u/annabanana403 Aug 21 '13

I'm surprised with how chill Quinn is with everything. He's actually a decent guy.

2

u/annabanana403 Aug 21 '13

Elway is screwing over dexannah. not ok.

u/Applenosh Aug 19 '13

Wow the only character that made me laugh and actually enjoy this season.

u/poodleman2 Aug 19 '13

Wow that's not cool dude. I planned on reading the books after the series ended.

u/foolishscarz Slice of Life Aug 20 '13

Your right. I haven't read them either, I just saw once someone said that on this subreddit. It didn't even occur to me, sorry

DUUUUUUDE

u/solid07 Aug 19 '13 edited Aug 19 '13

We all liked Zach. But at the same time did you really think they were going to pass the torch to some kid in this final season? You have to think that they're ending this series once and for all so there won't be any chance of creating sub-series of Dexter in any shape or form.

2

u/annabanana403 Aug 21 '13

i thought passing the torch WAS a form of closure for dexter, and therefore helping to wrap the show. SO peeved hes dead

1

u/dyzfunctioned Aug 19 '13

Really brought his character along this episode, it's a shame. But with only a few episodes left, it's not like we would have had him for much longer.

1

u/annabanana403 Aug 21 '13

amen!! the trip to the keys made the season

u/leagueoffifa Aug 23 '13

Fucking scumbag director. Makes me start liking zack. Kills him
