Preview: Dexter S06E10 Ricochet Rabbit

Review: Dexter S06E09 Get Gellar

From TV.com:
Dexter tries to stay one step ahead of the Homicide Division concerning the Doomsday Killers, while he finds help from an unlikely source; Debra uncovers something unexpected about herself during her therapy sessions.

Huge turning point in the season! The moment where Dexter finds Gellar's body dead in a freezer where it had been for some time. Dexter realizes that it's been Travis behind everything this whole time. I'm not going to lie though, I wasn't that surprised when we saw that Gellar was dead. It's been pretty obvious throughout this whole season that something has not been right. We have only seen Travis ever really interact with or see Gellar.

So this means that Travis killed his own sister which makes it pretty obvious there's nothing he won't do. And what's up with Masuka's intern Louis? We find out that he is the one that has the Ice Truck Killer's hand that was sold on ebay. Clearly something is up with him and I'm sure we'll find out by season's end.

Another great episode. Although, not my favorite of the season.

Review: Dexter S06E08 Sins Of Omission

From TV.com:

Dexter, using what he's learned from Brother Sam, comes a step closer to the Doomsday killers, specifically Travis; Deb and LaGuerta go head-to-head after a call girl ends up dead.

Another great episode! This episode really left me wondering how this season will end. Fans of Dexter from season 1 know that the show's writers and producers thrive on shocking the audience. So I'm watching this latest episode and I couldn't help but think "Are they going to kill off Deb?". It just seems really interesting that when they found Travis' sisters body that Deb's business card was pinned to her body. Was it a warning of whats to come? Or a warning for Dexter to stay away?

Also, is Geller real or just in Travis' mind? It seemed really interesting that Dexter was only feet away from Geller and yet he didn't catch a single glimpse of him.

I'm very interested in seeing where this season takes us. With only 4 episodes left, its bound to get interesting!

Episode Rated: B+

Review: Revenge S01E08 Treachery

From TV.com:

Emily's plot further unravels as Victoria's unstable relationship with her family grows increasingly more tense when an unwanted pawn in Emily's game heads to the Hamptons with questionable intentions. Meanwhile, Lydia's memory is a growing concern for the Graysons and a recently embittered friend begins to play dirty.

Another great episode of course! The addition of Emily's friend "Amanda Clarke" is a great move on the shows part. She killed Frank and comes back into Emily's life. Emily tries everything in her power to get rid of her as soon as possible but as we saw at the end of the episode it doesn't look like this girl is going away anytime soon.

I love the fact that we are seeing Victoria being isolated by everyone around her, including her family. How will she handle all of this? I guess we will soon find out.

Episode Rated: B+

Review: Dexter S06E07 Nebraska

This episode of Dexter really showed us Dexter's bad and dark side living to its full potential. With the help of his dead brother, Briana aka The Ice Truck Killer, Dexter goes on a road trip to visit Jonah who was the son of the Trinity Killer. From what we were told in the beginning of the episode it seemed as if Jonah killed his mother and his sister and made it look like it was Trinity. But since Dexter killed Trinity, he knew that it was actually Jonah who did it.

Later Dexter finds out that Jonah's sister actually killed herself and Jonah was so angry with his mother that he went off on her and ended up killing her.

This episode definitely wasn't my favorite of the season. It was good but it was also strange seeing Dexter completely out of his element. I mean, it was a must for the show to show Dexter in that light. To show the audience how easy it could be for him to let go of his code and just kill for the sake of killing. Thankfully, Dexter chose to live by the code.

Episode Rated: B

Looks amazing! Can't wait.

Review: Dexter S06E06 Just Let Go

From TV.com:

Dexter investigates who shot Brother Sam. Meanwhile,Homicide interrogates the woman who Quinn slept with who is involved in the Doomsday Killer case.

Can we all just say WHOA?! That was a fantastic episode of Dexter last night. Things are finally getting really really juicy. The most shocking moment: Dexter's brother Brian aka The Ice Truck killer makes his triumphant return. He's obviously dead but it seems that he is going to be taking Harry's place for a little while which can only mean we are going to be seeing a lot of darkness from Dexter in the next episode.

Other notes about the episode:
  • Is anyone else getting a funny feeling about Masuka's new intern? Why is he asking so many questions about Dexter?
  • Quinn seems to totally be screwing up his life. Clearly he's still in love with Deb but is she in love with him?
  • And what about Travis letting the "whore" go? We're seeing a lot of inner struggle in his character. Good vs. Evil.
AWESOME episode. Can not wait for next week!

Episode Rated: A+

Review: Dexter S06E05 The Angel Of Death

Quick recap from TV.com:

With the help of his newfound friend Brother Sam, Dexter wonders if there is light within him to counter the darkness, while the search for the Doomsday Killers takes him in a new direction; Batista and Quinn pay a visit to the university where Professor Gellar taught; due to departmental regulations following the shooting, Debra is forced to begin therapy.

Alright so where do I begin? Well, even though this episode was really good I definitely have to say it was my least favorite of the season. I can't really put my finger on why that is but it just didn't grab my attention like the other ones did.

I am loving the friendship between Brother Sam and Dexter. It's really got me wondering where the writers plan on taking it. There's so many different ways it could go. Oh, and, what about the scene with Dexter and Travis in the car? Dexter decides he's going to kill him but then realizes that Geller is the one he really wants.

All in all, good episode but I hope they start really getting into where the season is going. We need to know so much more about Geller and Travis!

Episode Rated: B+

Review: Revenge S01E07 Charade



Quick synopsis from TV.com:

The Graysons' quiet anniversary plans go off track and are replaced by an explosive family dinner. Meanwhile, Frank unearths some info on Emily in an attempt to prove his devotion to Victoria.

Yet another amazing episode from Revenge. Seriously, if the writers and actors keep things going the way they are going this show is bound for greatness. Victoria in this episode was amazing. Little by little I find myself starting to feel sympathy for her. As they tell her backstory more and more, you start to realize that a lot of the stuff she did was because she was kind of forced into it to protect her family.

And Nolan hooking up with Tyler?!?! WHAT?!? Tyler is way too sketchy for my taste. I have a feeling he is going to be stirring up much more trouble for Emily to come. All in all, another awesome episode!

Episode Rated: A
