After the discovery of another victim of the Ice Truck Killer at an ice rink, the missing guard, Tony Tucci, becomes a potential suspect. Meanwhile, Rita receives an unpleasant visit from her ex-husband's drug dealer, who confiscates her car, forcing her to take the bus to and from her job as a hotel receptionist. Dexter selects his next murder victim while having flashbacks of his first killing-a nurse who was caring for Dexter's sick father, Harry Morgan, but was administering overdoses of medication to and slowly killing her patients. Elsewhere, Sergeant Doakes continues to harass Guerrero, as a group of renegade police officers decide to take matters involving Guerrero into their own hands.
This is another blah episode.
I don't need there to be a killing every episode, as another review stated...and I even remember recommending the show to people back when it was airing originally. The serial killing is essentially like what...less than 5% of the show? Yes...it's the main jist of the show...but it isn't just 60 minutes of blood and gore. It's like any other crime procedure show. You could probably edit out a lot of the serial killer stuff and still just have a show about a blood spatter analyst who catches bad guys in his spare time...and use 90% of the footage.
I hate that amazon prime doesnt allow me to take screenshots. I like turning the captions on capturing some great quirky or unique lines. Those are peppered throughout the series. This one was good.
"If I had a heart, it'd be breaking right now."
I dont even feel like ranking these. It's not a 10 or 9 or 8. 7 is usually my...good enough to watch again rating. Dexter just doesnt seem to fit that mold. There arent (that I can remmeber) GREAT episodes or really bad ones. They're all just....Dexter. maybe as I rewatch the rest, I'll see the better or worse ones.
So...I dont what to rate them a 6...that's too low. And 7 would theoretically suggest that this episode is worth watching again if it popped up randomly. But Dexter isnt like the office or a sitcom...or an episode of law and order that can stand alone...and that there are clearly better and worse episodes. Dexter is about the entire story... the entire season. Every episode covers a bit more...reveals a bit more. So to rate an individual episode almost seems pointless. Itd be like rating individual scenes of a movie as stand alone things. No. So I think I'm going to try and refrain from rating episodes of Dexter unless they are really good or really bad.
