Season 5, Episode 2
1/10
Overheard phone machine messages and misplaced cellphones aren't enough? Now it's an opened snail mail invoice that delivers the key message?

Warning: Spoilers
When/where does it end? The lazy, contrived plot devices keep shooting this show in the foot. Repeatedly. (As if anyone really cared about the Batista-LaGuerta soap opera relationship in the first place.)

And one thing is becoming more and more clear: families, and serial killers, just don't mix. Astor has now taken the mantle of "most annoying character" from her dead mother. (At least she comes by it honestly.) Nature or nurture, and all that.

And with everything that's going on...Dexter's attention is drawn to some blood in the back of a moving van? Seriously?

And given all the time Dexter spent with the Mitchell's, between the THREE of them, they can't come up with an accurate image of Dexter for the sketch artist?!! C'MON, MAN! That's just REALLY STUPID WRITING!

And one final question that never seems to get asked: Does the notion that Dexter has feelings (assuming they're genuine) make him a better psychopathic serial killer, or a worse psychopathic serial killer? (I'm not sure there's an easy answer to that question. But it lies at the heart of this series. I just wish the series delved more deeply into that question, and others like it, rather than stupid soap opera filler distractions. Maybe something along the line of an extrapolation of "Leon The Professional".)
