I give the writers full points for the attempt, but it is almost not fair - to sound like a whiney 12 year old. You can't show this Travis and Geller relationship the whole season, and then shock us with a "We got you!!" moment. It is almost like the writers are simply going for the shocker here instead of doing a storyline that actually makes sense and works. Maybe they are getting a little cocky since their Rita shocker worked and they got full praise so now they want to top that. And I am a big fan of the whole Sixth Sense type of mind blower, but this just wasn't fair. If the next episode doesn't dig deeper and explain how Travis pulled this off and why then I might actually give up on this show, a show I have loved since the very first episode of season 1. Would Travis really kill his own sister? When did he kill Geller: a month ago? weeks? days? hours? Would Dexter really fall for all of this? He is such a cerebral genius I don't think he'd walk into a trap like this. Plus, how was Travis locked up in his hotel room, and prepping the Bowls murder scene (ala Carrie) and writing on the walls and avoiding the police and then washing the same walls. It is just dumb and not fair! I'm done and mad!

Latest Episode was the worst one ever
18 November 2011
I agree with the previous mailshadow review, or some user name like that. This episode made no sense in the flow of the show, and completely disregarded all of Dexter's rules that he has carefully followed every other episode. Since when does he drive and fire a gun at the same time while flying down the highway? It would be cool if he did these things to gain his brother's trust and then backstabbed him later in the episode, but his brother is dead and always has been. Totally stupid story line and they made it last the entire episode. I can only hope and pray that when his brother "vanished" at the end of the episode he will also vanish from the rest of this season and series. That character, actor and story line all do nothing for me. Does anyone else predict Professor Geller to kidnap Travis's sister? I smell that one coming. Also, does Geller kill Travis because he is so weak, or will Travis help turn in Geller? That's about it - I'm tired. This week's episode better redeem a somewhat promising season, otherwise I am going to start losing faith in these writers.
