How long is Harrison gonna take shots at Dexter for being "Jim" now?


Literally feels like anytime Dexter questions Harrison or thinks he's lying Harrison always says something like "Oh you calling me a liar "JIM"?" or "Oh i'm the one hiding something "JIM"?" its getting really old.

Its like his one and only defense for Dexter questioning him "Oh really "JIM"?".

I was going to make a similar thread. Harrison is an asshole. He is an indignant little prick. All the teenagers are. They're bad actors playing obnoxious people.

All the main kids tormented Ethan. Harrison stuck up for him, but seemingly preemptively stabbed him. Am I supposed to like Harrison? The bullies? The cops asshole kid who steals evidence?

reply

He's a lazy written character, the writers are all to blame.

"They're bad actors playing obnoxious people." Sums up my feelings about the teens perfectly!

reply

All the teens are soooo bad. I think Harrison is the best by default. His love interest, the bullies, and shooter are all awful - and he's still better than all of them.

reply

Have you all met actual teenagers….in real life the “Jim” stuff would go on for years.

reply

2 weeks later and guess what? Harrison is even more whiny and annoying. I hope Dexter teaches him a permanent lesson.

reply

I'm getting really tired of Harrison and his attitude but he is an interesting character.


I really want to know his backstory. He cut two kids with the razor and broke the one kid's arm in wrestling.

I have a strong feeling that it isn't the first time that he has done these things. He could have possibly murdered someone.

He does share Dexter's genes.

reply

Don't forget, also, that he was raised by Hannah-f***ing- McKay. A sociopath raising a sociopath's child.......what could possibly go wrong there....??

Who knows what carnage she left behind her in Argentina, and stuff he saw her do......or stuff SHE made him do.......?

reply


I'd imagine Hannah would try her best to shield him from violence and death

But we also know, beyond doubt, that murder is her go-to solution for nearly every problem, Elway being the only known exception

That’s an abandoned teenager taking potshots at dad. His mother was murdered and Dexter leaves him. Harrison is really intelligent. I don’t think he’s inherited the serial killer gene - he’s just full of rage. I guess we’ll see and then I might have to go back and delete this post. Still, I would rather NOT see angry teenagers yelling at their parents. Do you remember how caring Dexter was to little Harrison in S5 when he had the Irish nanny - it was so beautiful and baby Harrison (played by twins) was always smiling.

reply

We'll see, but I got a feeling he's been serial killing all the way up from South America to upstate New York.

reply

Probably so. But what is his ritual. Who does he choose. It seems he lashes back when he’s angry. There’s no planning. Where would this story be going. Dexter & Son. If he is a serial killer, I hope he’s a really bad one. Edmund Kemper style.

reply

The family that slays together stays together.

reply

With only two more eps to go, I'm going to make a prediction that "this family that slays together gets slaid together."

reply

No, while the chief will realize Dexter is a serial killer, she will also realize that he is only eliminating the trash the escapes the law and tell him to disappear. Which is what will happen. The only question to be answered is whether Harrison will still get killed by Kurt before Dexters gets Kurt.

reply

I like your ending better than mine, except that leaves the way open for another season and Showtime have called this a "Special Event Series" and have said there will be no further seasons. This is the reason why I feel it needs to end in a way that reflects that aim.

reply

Yeah, I know Showtime doesn't plan on any more Dexters... but we all know if it gets enough viewers they will bring it back again. If he was popular when he was a senior citizen wheeling around on a scooter in a nursing home killing bad guys they would still bring him back. I just can't imagine they would create a truly final ending for the character. If they were going to do that, it would have probably happened in the original ending.
