Ah, another week has passed by. And still, Dexter is able to surprise us in so many different ways. I am one of those persons who has enjoyed the show throughout. There have been some lows, but definitively Dexter is a solid show.

Now, this episode (as most of them) was exciting - beginning till the end. The suspense was high. This episode had so many character choices that could influence the show's future. This episode shows you the real beauty of this show - the small things. The viewer is so deeply immersed in the story that no one really needs the killing. The killing is playing a secondary role.

The relationship between Hannah and Dex was a foreseen event, but it played out a bit differently as I had imagined. I thought their ''thing'' would be a bit one-sided (Hannah like Dex, Dex wanna kill Hannah). BUT... The show-writers still (after so many years) are able to keep the viewer's interest.

It's sad to say, but there was also a small thing that for me was a bit cheesy - the last scene. The drama could have been avoided by a simple phrase: ''Let us f**k!'' :D

Overall a solid episode.

EPISODE GRADE: A- (MVP: Yvonne Strahovski)

(S7. E6) My Reaction / Review for Dexter Season 7 Episode 6 ''Do the Wrong Thing'': Episode 5 was good and I gave it a rating of 9/10. Let's see if this one is better or worse. Is it just me or Hannah could be Dex's girlfriend in the future? Joey shouldn't take money from these criminals. Laguerta wont give up until she proves that the Bay harbor butcher is still alive and killing people. I really don't want Angel to retire, I like the character. So does this mean that Hannah and Dex are now together, I feel weird about it. Dex is going to kill her? That soon? I didn't expect it. Instead of killing her they are having sex? Damn. Overall a good episode, my rating is 8.8/10.

1. Deb takes interest in Hannah 2. Quinn makes a deal with the mob 3. Dexter screws Hannah

The whole Hannah McKay plot is... bit of a filler in my opinion. We see Dexter end up not killing her but instead having sex with her. Why? Some sort of mutual connection as serial killers? For acceptance because Deb won't give him one? It really is a detour from the main plot and it's not very interesting. Debs gonna close in on her anytime soon so it's probably a plot device to further the conflict. Making a "bridge" episode like this interesting is a very difficult task.

In the first seasons what made Dexter an excellent show to watch was the unconventional show format; In House or CSI its the same episode layout, man finds crime, man gets is stumped, man finds one special clue, man fixes crime. This is or shall I say WAS not the case in Dexter in the first seasons.

Until now....

The reason is because the first seasons were based almost exclusively off a book, and the succeeding seasons written by TV writers for a majority of a TV audience that wants this "dumbed down format". Obvious clues that give way to an obvious plot. The Romantic interlude with Sarah McKay is the second such egregious simpleton display of TV writing. How predictable was it that Dexter was NOT going to kill Sarah McKay, but instead find some sort of soul mate within her? I'll tell you how much, UBER PREDICTABLE. And I can tell you too how her character will play out because the writers have already made it so predictable, Dexter will have some fun, realize he cannot have her, and kill her for Deb.

And thats not DEXTER. This season and the past have been written for simpleton TV audiences, not dexter fans.

There was another instance in the beginning of the episode; the scene where the Kofka boss in jail and the Columbians want to kill him. The entire purpose of the scene from the writers perspective is to instill in the viewers mind how tough the boss is. Again the way in which this is done is completely antithetical to the original Dexter series. Anyone can break someones hand (which made no sense because thugs would not sit and watch that happen). That was the purest of simpleton approaches. What would have really instilled it into someones mind was...a scene where the Kafka boss maintains his strength but gets a little roughed up so in return some something horrendous happens like small body parts of the columbians children are mailed to them. So horrified the columbians become his personal body guards in prison. THATS unique and gives the viewer a sense of aw.

I don't recommend this episode. It is a slap in the face to true dexter fans.
