[QUOTE="CrimsonReaver, post: 5756887, member: 91729"] The fact that they actually, [I]finally[/I] had someone catch Dexter in the act - someone he wouldn't/couldn't just remove (a few seasons back, I felt certain it would be one of Rita's kids) - ensures I'll watch one more season. Unless they pick things up weeks/months after that incident, with either Deb in an asylum or the two of them just being awkward around each other. If the first episode of season 7 doesn't begin exactly where this one ended, I'm going to be irked. So, no, I wouldn't say the show has jumped the shark, but sharks have been unleashed into the water. Next season means either ratcheting up the tension, and possibly some serious blood being spilled (it's time for one or two main characters to die), or shark-jumping lameness. There's no middle ground. As for season 6 on a whole...I think it was a wasted opportunity. As others said, it seemed like the writing was a little loose and sloppy, with some unnecessary filler, and threads that seriously better be setups for next season else they were utterly pointless. And, personally, if they were going to do the religious serial killer, I really would've liked to see them go ultra dark with it. Like [I]Seven[/I] or the first season of Millennium. There was a real lack of tension and suspense to this season. It had a very "going through the motions" feel about it rather than just grabbing me by the throat like some of the earlier seasons. Season 7 is going to be make or break time, particularly the first episode. [/QUOTE]
