Just as this show seemed to be getting to predictable, Isaak makes a sudden exit without Dexter killing him.  Did not see that coming.

Noovtere, me either.  I thought he his arch was going to carry over into the next (and likely final) season.

I suspect the fireball killer arc will be what carries us over to next season. I thought the intertwining of Dex/Isaak's characters was an unexpected, and excellent development. 

Also, Quinn and LaGuerta == toast.

It's blood spatter, not splatter. Weren't you listening to Isaak in Episode 4 a few weeks back?

I thought this was the last season. I'm all in for another season, but it seemed to me that the show was winding down this season, not next.

Sad to see Isaak go. He was an awersome character. LaGuerta is starting to really piss me off. Her character is just so bitchy.

 Funny how the reviewer (Jarrett Kruse) talks about Quinn like he's a real person.  Quinn is a fictional character.  The writers can make him a jerk one season (or one episode) and turn around and make him a lovable hero the next.  They don't have to get rid of him.  Speaking about jerks...the Deb character has become one this season. The writers haven't done her any favors.  I thought she would be stronger, have more integrity.  I thought she was a good cop, but lately she's been spending too much time and effort covering up for and assisting her whackadoo brother.  Hopefully next season she'll grow a backbone. Presently I don't like or care about any of the characters with the possible exception of Angel Batista.  All the others are "me first" people who don't care about what's right, ethical, or moral.  No one seeks to get help, or help others unless it's in their best interest, they just do whatever is necessary to satiate their needs and desires or advance their career.  Is this how the show's creators see human beings?

Interesting observations, blankczech. I hadn't thought about that. I guess when Rita was killed off, a lot of that compassion left with her character. I would agree that Angel is definitely the most likeable character on the show. At least, he's the only one I'd like to grab a beer with.

 Maybe Hannah is the arsonist....

Thanks for the heads up! Yes I am completely aware that Quinn (and the show) is complete fiction...I understand how characters in reviews can sound like real people after an extended tenure on a hit show; I just feel the Quinn character has worn out his welcome. It reminds me of people talking to Stallone like he is really ROCKY BALBOA! I did not give Quinn much ink this week b/c his storyline is just getting tiresome in my opinion and taking away from the big picture. I absolutely agree that Angel is the shows most likable character and it is a good point about Hannah possibly being the arsonist. She is one hot mess of trouble...
