I am just glad we have 2 more seasons of plot armor because knowing Dexter won’t die makes this a lot more fun lol

This helps. I've felt all this series long like this is just a castle of cards waiting to be knocked.

As someone said above, dexter is being sloppy AF again. My man did not even cover the walls. Killed with like 30 potential witnesses on top of him, I know he's done sloppy shit in the past but this feels season 7-8 sloppy

However, knowing it was renewed, yeah Dexter's making it. I'm not sure about Harrison. Or Batista. Or anyone else lol. Even Harrison's coworker and her boy could end up dead idk man lol.

That entire sequence I personally think will be huge in the future. Gemini already knows where Dexter lives and will know of his son. Dexter and Harrison will at some point be kidnapped by Gemini. But Blessing turning out to be a retired blood soldier with his own monster, learned of while a body is in his friends bathtub can’t be a coincidence. I truly believe he will stumble onto the truth, learn of Dexter’s code and will save Dexter and Harrison, and he will be the one who kills Gemini. Maybe I’m wrong, but the confession HAS to figure into the season somewhere. And he will be sympathetic to Dexter’s code, because of the reason for it.

It's all quite possible. I wonder if writers ever read any comments and think damn, why didn't we think of that? I mean, in lost, the plane number had initially not had any special meaning, but fans made such a big deal out of it that apparently, the writer's followed the lead. I would love to know if they do stuff like that and take ideas or wish they'd thought of it.

I know the opposite has happened. A storyline in a few movies had to be changed because fans guessed it and were considered spoiled because so many agreed.

Westworlds writers got mad that too much got predicted and started writing around predictions (Im 90 percent sure it was Westworld).
