The title of episode 9 is really "Make Your Own Music" but that's kinda boring. Dexter has turned into a lovesick teenager who is incapable of making a rational decision. He tells Hannah he loves her and they'll make a life together. Let's all move to Argentina!! I think they still have some old Nazis there so you'll have something to occupy your free tme. Dude, Hannah is SOOO playing you. Psychopaths do that sort of thing. At least we FINALLY find out who the Brain Surgeon is. Dr. Vogel had two sons. Vogel's older son Daniel killed her younger son by drowning him in the pool. Evelyn and her husband then institutionalized Daniel. He died in a fire in the asylum. The body was badly burned and difficult to identify... so guess what? Yes indeedy. He's still alive. Our two main suspects have been Mr. No Personality Jacob Elway and Dead Cassie's boyfriend Oliver Saxon.
Wait for it, wait for it.... Daniel Vogel is living under the false identity of Oliver Saxon-- not to be confused with Oliver Sacks (the world famous neurologist). I was really hoping the Brain Surgeon was Dr. Vogel herself or Masuka's daughter... wouldn't that have been more fun?
Vogel wants to send Daniel back to an institutional but Dexter wants to chop him up. Why is Dexter so intent on killing Daniel? Dude, you're going to Argentina. Just pack your stuff and leave town quickly. Let Vogel worry about him.
Vogel figures out Dexter cant be trusted (after he slipped her a sedative) and says she no longer needs his services. You'd think after all her dealings with serial killers, she'd be a little more realistic about her son... or is she? Maybe she set this whole thing up as entertainment for her and her sonny. I've said it many times before. I don't think she can be trusted AT ALL!
In order related news:
- Dexter asks Deb to take in Hannah since a Federal Marshall is after her. Uh, really bad idea. Don't turn your back on her, or go to sleep or eat anything she prepares.
- Deb is planning to go back to the police force.
- Deb and Quinn kiss. Will they end up together?
- Rita was mentioned in this episode but whatever happened to Dexter's stepkids (Cody and Astor or whatever their names were)? Are they off killing people somewhere?
- How many times has Harrison been asked his name in recent episodes? I count at least two. Will the name of the new spinoff be "Harrison"? Here's how I think the episode should end BS (Brain Surgeon) has everyone tied down with plastic wrap (Vogel, Deb, Hannah, Dexter). He can only pick one person to save before a bomb explodes (yes, I know, we haven't seen any bombs). Anyway, he saves Deb cause he know the rest of them are psychopaths anyway and unworthy of saving... goodbye "Dexter", hello "Harrison".
Favorite quotes:
- "What were you and Hannah and Zach doing in the Keyes-- serial killer convention?"- Deb to Dexter.
- "My brother's a serial killer and I have another one hiding out at my house eating salad"- Deb.
- "Don't you know this wont end well?"- Vogel to Dexter about Hannah.
Grade: 4 Monsters (out of 5). Now that the secret's out of the bag what are they going to do in the last three episodes (besides chase him around a while)? Dear "Dexter", please take a hint from "Breaking Bad" and pick it up. BAM!
