#yeah some hours later i realized i hate it much more than i thought i did after finishing the episode #the events leading to all this are held together by a bunch of plot holes. it's just frustrating

show notorious for an awful ending comes back from the dead and has an even worse second ending

#dexter spoilers #dexter: new blood #i was to borrow a word sanguine about this on saturday because it was just absolutely hilarious to me but yesterday that curdled to anger #look. everything characterization wise is stupid as hell and forced and ugly to try and prove a 'point' of some kind #that doesn't at all land because it betrays eight entire years + ~9 eps of character development and tries to do that in the span of 20mins #so emotionally it's extremely poor and unearned and insulting #BUT #then there's the other side of it which is that it makes NO SENSE #the ketamine swap for M99 isn't just an 'oopsie' by the writers it is an entire retcon of long established and central canon #dex never used ketamine but FURTHERMORE there was no forensic evidence that the bhb ever used sedatives #so how the f does that information even get connected? i was annoyed about this when det. google found it but now i'm livid #beyond that are my fave expert opinions which are: 1. an RN explaining that there would be no needle marks detectable on the victims #because of the method of administration and the huge holes we suddenly see never existed and would not be visible including on the dealer #and 2. a metalworker who explained titanium absolutely melts and that those screws would've come out of the incinerator unrecognizable #also apparently that murder that is wildly ooc was supposed to be seen as 'accidental' (which i guess makes it less horrible but still)#but i've also seen medical professionals explaining how it is absolutely impossible for someone's neck to break in that way soooo lmao #they only did that to make him crazy and evil and force harrison to want to see him as a villain and shoot him #harrison: i want to be normal i'm not a killer i wanna stay in town with my friends and gf that i've known for two weeks #also harrison: shoots and kills his father and is forced to leave town. this is seen as 'breaking the cycle' y'all i cannot #it's not 'redemption' it's just damning. it's trauma on trauma. it loses any inkling of a human core #lumberjack dex being preferable is THEE funniest thing in the world now. i'm marrying him.#*thanos voice* perhaps i treated you too harshly #what a mess can't believe i endured another one god bless rip #i'm still very happy it reignited my long sublimated love for the original show though so that's something #i have to go through and edit my tag bc i don't want the new blood posts in the dexter tag. yes i am that petty
