Nah, he is real.

They can't have all their characters imagining people like Dexter.

I think it shows how strong Travis' imagination is. Like Dexter - his dad never moves/touches anything, but Brian helps him dispose of the body on the boat. Stronger imagination regarding the darker thoughts.

I think this could be what they end up doing. Though the fact the victim that was released mentions two people puts the entire theory into jeopardy, imo. I don't really know how they will explain that.

As for this latest episode, I tend to agree with metaldude. I thought that for the most part it was a filler episode. Nothing much happened to develop the plot nor to develop Dexter's character. I mean, Dexter's character did develop a bit, but nothing more than what was already inferred at the end of penultimate episode. I also found that some of the things Dexter did on the "road trip" made no sense at all. To start with, why would he sleep with that much younger woman? She looked like a teenager (her boyfriend still lives at home), or at the very least someone in her early 20s. It is not like Dexter to do something like that. And why would he steal the gun and then drive around shooting things on the road? Dexter's character isn't so immature. Now I guess they could argue that he was going through personal inner turmoil and he was struggling with the death of Brother Sam and reliving the trilogy killings/situation, including the murder of his wife, but it was such a bizarre break from character that I found the entire episode very unsatisfying and rather pointless. The few points they did make could have been made much more efficiently without going way off onto this other strange story line.

A couple of other things I found odd...why would the daughter kill herself the same way her father used to murder people? And why would Dexter dispose of the body in the grain silo? It isn't like it won't get discovered there eventally.

I dont think it matters if the body is discovered .The guy had a field full of weed so they'd write if off a a drug related murder (not that the stroryline would head back to nebraska anyways )

I think Gellers going to snag Travis's sister to use as the whore for his next biblical scene (seems obvious to me)

The "two people she heard" kind of messes things up a bitfor me, but then I think about how they decided to show Dexter killing the weed guy through Brian's point of view, and that just re-affirms things for me. It's like they are planting all of these little seeds along the way.

Who knows if Travis even knows what he is doing!?!?! I can't remember if this was discussed thoroughly in season 1, but one of the main plots of the first book is Dexter figuring out whether or not HE is the ice truck killer.

That was a tough episode to watch, I am so glad they stopped the imaginary brother thing in its tracks. I don't think I could deal with it for an extended period. I think it did try and show how easy it would be to just become a straight up killer for Dexter, if he didn't have Harry's code. I think it shows the inner strength of Dexter's character and how he deals with his dark passenger.

I still watch this show but I feel like its not half of what it used to be. I used to stay up really late and wait for it to upload on the web. now at times I find myself forgetting for weeks about the previous episode. the show to me seems like its just kind of dragging on and their trying to come up with crazy twists when really it already peaked. i think its time for this show to end right away. there just isnt enough plots anymore to keep me into it

There's still millions of fans who are into it. I think it can't end until at least two more seasons. Maybe season 7, probably season 8.

I agree - the last episode was a little off, but the show is still as strong as it ever was.
