Dexter (2006)

3 corrected entries in season 8

★★★★☆

(15 votes)

Correction: That's not what the operator said. He said "Clayton was involved in a shooting. He was killed in the line of duty." There's no statement that he was killed by gunshot. Plus, it was his gun that was used to shoot Deb, and he was at the scene, so he was involved.

Goodbye Miami - S8-E10

Corrected entry: It shows the guy drilling a hole in someone's head alive on the video of his kill, but when they described his killings earlier in the season they said the drills were postmortem. (00:27:00)

Mechanic1c

Correction: Different kills. Earlier postmortem was the first brain surgeon kill. The subsequent video of the live video of the brain surgeon is the killing of Zach Hamilton.

What's Eating Dexter Morgan? - S8-E3

Corrected entry: Deb's boss hands her a water bottle infused with some nutrients to counteract her hangover which she is shaking in her right hand when Dexter comes into the room. When Deb gets up to leave with Dexter, she no longer has the water bottle, nor is it on her boss' desk. It has disappeared.

Correction: If you look closely, Deb is still holding the bottle in her right hand when she and Dexter enter the other room. We can hear her place it down before sitting at her desk.

Questions

Show generally

Question: Since Harry knew about Dexter's homicidal tendencies, why would he train Dexter on how to kill people who got away with their crimes instead of taking him to a psychologist?

Answer: Two reasons. First, as a cop he knows that there are lots of murderers walking around free due to flaws in the system so he uses Dexter's "urges" to right the wrongs in the system by taking out people who have no right to walk around free. Secondly, by taking him to a psychologist he runs the risk of having him committed and he doesn't want that for obvious reasons, so he figures it is best to channel his urges to what he considers a greater good.

The_Iceman

In addition to the earlier answer, in the last season (8th) of the show, we are introduced to Dr. Vogel, whom Harry had been discussing the situation with Dexter as well, and it is shown on-camera that Harry describes what Dexter has done (killing)... So, technically he did consult a psychologist/psychiatrist, just not having Dexter and her actually meet. But Dr. Vogel was aware of whom it was and how to intercede.
