Part of the problem with Season 6 was the lack of Cody and Astor. The only problem I had with season six is how bad Colin Hanks looked when he was angry. Looked fake to me. Too bad. He's a good actor but out of his league working with Michael C. Hall and the Dexter writers. Why does everyone like aster so much??? Gosh she was so annoying. Never liked her. Ive been looking forward to seeing Rita's kids, missed them from season 6. What is Aster going to do when she pieces together Dexter is the reason her mom and dad are dead.
Why would she piece that together? I doubt Dex or Deb are gonna tell her he's a serial killer. Ads x60px. Posted by John. Labels 7. Anonymous August 21, at AM. Anonymous August 21, at PM. Unknown August 23, at AM.

She is rude, constantly angry, argumentative, disobedient, and begins to flirt with an older boy. She and Dexter have a truce after he promises to stop treating her like a child, and admits that he is sometimes simply "dumb.
When Dexter tries to become more involved with Astor's life, she resists, becoming hostile. At one point, she asks, "Why do you hate me?
After the death of her mother at the hands of The Trinity Killer, Astor is devastated. She blames Dexter, openly accusing him of not protecting her mother and appearing to not care about her death. She lashes out at him for raising false hope that they could be a normal family. To their surprise, they find Lumen Pierce residing there. Astor and her friend are drunk and Dexter allows them to stay overnight, wanting to patch things up with his stepdaughter.
Astor is grateful for his support, having thought that he would not help. When Dexter drives her back to Orlando, Astor invites him into their grandparents' house. She asks Dexter if she can spend the summer with him, and he agrees. Astor appears older and more mature until Cody reveals that she smokes marijuana and even has a bag of weed stashed inside her purse. This incident happens in public and Debra immediately conceals the pot. Then she and Dexter attempt to reason with Astor, to little avail.
During her time spent back in Miami , Astor shares a moment with Dexter on the beach where they discuss how much has changed since her mother 's death. Astor asks about Lumen and Dexter simply explains that she moved on. Poor Dexter still doesn't understand that the rules have changed for Aster.
Aster is at a stage where's she's forming her own character right now. And that means she's going to question everything and everyone around her. So, now she senses more easily that something's off with Dexter, just like Doakes and Quinn sensed it. She's also never had a real connection with Dexter. He never spend the time in getting to know her, getting to understand her. He's just the sweet guy her mother married, hardly present in her life, who has never been there for her on a personal level.
And now the person that has been there for her, that understood what she went through, that actively showed her love for her every day, is now gone When that person that matters most to you leaves this world before her time, you're bound to lash out to the world including Dexter and the rest of the people close to her. Now she's stuck with a step-father that knows nothing about being a parent, other than being a money-provider, giver of general family gifts like donuts and a protector against physical harm which she doesn't know.
But i'm hoping Dexter will rise up to the challenge, figure out how to be a real father to her and the rest of his children and i'm sure Aster will embrace him completely when he does. Hardly present in her life, are you kidding me???
Dexter was around all the time, he bonded with the kids as much as he started developing a strong connection with Rita!!! Yes human emotion is still alien to him but as the series goes on he starts developing new traits that he never understood, love was one of them as he mentioned at her funeral he wasn't even human until he met her.
Dexter wasn't just some guy Rita married he was always there for her and the kids, he even really likes children as it is a topic that has come up for air more than once. I've been rewatching my seasons and I can tell you straight off in season 1 he spent a lot of time with Aster and Cody, so they've had time to get comfortable with him.
Regardless if she's growing up, she's been behaving like a bitch since the earlier seasons. I came from a divorced parents family, my dad was with another woman for years now and I hate her!!! But not becuz she wasn't my mom, she was a horrible person who never gave a shit about anyone's feelings!! She never cared if my dad saw me again which he hasn't for years!!
If my mom started dating a guy like Dexter, minus the serial killer trait, I wouldn't be against it becuz he wouldn't just show interest in my mother but in me too!! At this point yes Aster is grieving but there is no reason for her to be cruel to anyone and certainly not before her mother's death!!
When I was I was never that rebellious, I mean I had my moments where I'd lash out but it wasn't all the time!! To what lengths shall he go to save them? How will they react when they see who he really is? Seeing that they were there at the beginning of the series, the targets that fall on Dexter should also fall on them and these questions should be asked and answered when the plastic curtain finally falls. Now, this is not to suggest that Dexter should go to the extent of Travis Marshall and his tableaux.
However, seeing that this season is allegedly based upon the concept of legacy, Dexter should diverge from the usual kill-rooms i. Consequently, he could also deviate from his usual routine, not having to vet or stalk, just killing impulsively and not having to always clean up the mess. While it has definitely been challenged, it is what allows Dexter to truly be himself. Consequently, this is starting to detriment the most essential part of Dexter , that the audience can, for the most part, justify his actions down to cleaning up the mess of society that trickles through the cracks of the justice system.
Yet, as he begins to act more upon his own desires and moral code, his actions are less justifiable. While his situations are understandable, they are consequently becoming more human. As he abandons the code, what humanity remains is rising to the surface, thus challenging our idea of who Dexter is and what he may stand for.
Consequently, Dexter should express his humanity or his emotions through his kill-rooms, leaving them open to Miami Metro Homicide, and kill instinctively rather than by his usual lengthy vetting and researching process. Now played by Jadon Wells, he should become more of an extension of Dexter; a partial copy of him. While there have been scenes which allude to him having urges to kill i. However, with the theme of this season being legacy, it is inevitable that some of Dexter will rub off on him.
Yet, the lessons he will learn will be human, of doing what is necessary and justifiable for those you love, which has been the growth of Dexter over the prior seasons. Therefore, we should see him kill to save his father, not necessarily to satisfy his urges, but to do what is morally right, which would see a transition between a monster who must kill to remain human or a human who must kill to prevent becoming a monster. Consequently, Harrison should also be in the most danger during this season.
While Dexter could previously just hand him over to Rita or the nanny, he is now personally responsible for his son, who is now consciously aware of what is happening around him. The focus should be on creating an arc for Harrison to fulfil during the season, where he will learn new things about who he is and make his own decisions about where his life will take him. Will he want to grow up like his father or like his foster aunt?
How will he satisfy his urges? What will he sacrifice to save his father? This season will see an emergence of a new character in Harrison Morgan, a character which has been laying dormant since Season 4, one which will influence those around him absolutely.
Throughout her seven-season run, she has had her ups and downs as a character, from betraying justice to marrying Batista, sleeping with Bertrand Pascal, blackmailing Matthews into becoming Captain and constantly hating Debra since day one. Despite all of her flaws, she was a likeable for the most part character for the first six seasons and a necessary antagonist for the seventh. The last few seasons have swayed the opinion of LaGuerta, as it is easy to forget the gruff, yet human Lieutenant of the first 5 seasons, rather than the less important, and forced presence of her as Captain.
Like every member of the department, she primarily stands for the corruption of the police and, by extension, the justice system of Miami.
However, her character grew into a much more human character than that, symbolised by her undying love and trust for Doakes and just good police work.
Forcing her together with Batista and giving her a back-seat to Debra degraded from what her character was, to the extent where they had to kill her off. While her death was ultimately necessary for the show to continue, it was still utterly heartbreaking to see her go.
Therefore, her death should be followed up a bit better than previous murders in the series i. It would be quite a nice surprise if some one in the Homicide Department actually did some police work. Just because they began to overshadow her does not mean that she should be forgotten. She was the only person who he could be with and not hide his true feelings from her. He even considered growing old with her, living a relatively normal life, which is hardly what he had with Rita. Having her become the major antagonist of Season 7 was bitter-sweet poetry, because it was almost like Dexter had looked in a mirror and was repulsed at what his urges could do.
To think that his counterpart could kill innocent people, even his own sister, shocked him to the core. Yet, once again the most important person in his life remains Debra.
However, seeing that there was a complex relationship between them, problems of whether she can be trusted and her own motivations need to be resolved.
Would she kill again to regain his love? Her character needs to be made more complex than the fact that she will target everyone he loves just to get him back. To reduce her to a simple antagonist motivated only by her unrequited love or connection with Dexter would be derivative and would soil what was a great character of Season 7.
Similarly, she must also challenge what Dexter feels: Is being with her worth letting her fulfil her urges? How are they different from his own? When she leaves with information suggesting she will only remain for another 3 or 4 episodes , she must leave with all of the fury in which she entered, leaving Dexter a changed man, either for better or for worse.
There can be no middle ground. Ah, Deb. Once being probably the funniest of the bunch other than Masuka , her character has definitely taken a dive down the serious route in the past few seasons.
