How pointless was Laguertas crush on Dexter in the first season?


Like, it went absolutely nowhere. Mentioned once or twice.

They did it because it was in the book

Dexter seemed to have very little interest in woman the first season, maybe they should have left it that way?

reply

Lol yes, I've been rewatching the show and those scenes were painful to watch. Awkward as heck.

reply

Yeah they never even tried to resolve it instead they just never brought it up kinda like (slight Lost spoiler ahead) how they never explained what was so special about Walt in Lost.

Laguerta actually put her hand down Dexter's pants in the book and he pushed her off of him. She then freaked out. She ended up getting killed at the end of the 1st book. That is probably why Laguerta's crushed ended after season 1. Season 1 of Dexter is extremely similar to the first book besides what happened with Brian at the end.

I know it wasn't mentioned later on but I still had it in mind that she kind of romantically likes Dexter and there were moments (with Doakes) where that knowledge helped me believe that she would overlook anything pointing towards Dex not being what he seemed to be.

reply

I'm only briefly into the series right now, but I kind of get the feeling that she's into Dex, he's not into her, but Doakes is into her but she's not into him, so he hates Dex cause he's a constant cockblock for him.

omg I totally forgot that was even a thing!! after 8 years of the show and where the characters went remembering that happened is so funny... totally pointless and cringy.
