Dexter: Swim Deep (2012)
Sloppy Writing
When Isaac is captured by Miami Metro, Dexter visits him in jail. That makes a record, since you have to show ID and sign in to visit a prisoner, and all uses of the visitor-intercom system used in jails are monitored and recorded. Bad for Dexter since he's not supposed to know Isaac and they discuss killings over the visitor phone. The writers of this show apparently have no idea how actual law enforcement works. In real life, someone like Hannah would never cooperate by showing police where victims are buried, but it's done here to advance the plot. Too bad the writers could not come up with a more realistic way to do it. There's speculation Hannah is interested in Dexter to make him a victim, but since everyone in Miami Metro knows what she did and sees her attraction to Dexter, they'd be pretty certain anything bad that happens to him will be her doing.
Annihilator (1986)
Were they aliens?
In watching this film, I never got the sense they were aliens. The constant shots of churches and crosses made me think of something else. They called themselves Dynamitards. (This was an actual 1800s secret society in Europe.) I would have loved a sequel. Or maybe a look at the original script. I did wonder why the Dynamitards would leave an assault rifle and ammo laying around at their camp. Especially since they'd already bent the barrel on his handgun while he was away from his room. The film isn't available on DVD, which would be great. I think "Otherworld" is available in a boxed set (another fantasy series from the same producer).
