With the Saber printer from the inside Dexter season 6, there is a theory that the crime series takes place in the same universe The office. Audiences were first introduced to Michael C. Hall’s vigilante serial killer in 2006 when Dexter premiered on Showtime. The series previously ran for a total of eight seasons Dexter‘s divisive series finale aired in 2013. During the first four seasons of Dexter‘s run, it was one of the most entertaining crime dramas on television, while later seasons were not well received due to the cast. Since then, Dexter it’s back to the small screen, with Dexter: New Blood (2021-2022), a sequel to the limited series, and a prequel, Dexter: Original Sinis also in the works.
While there Dexter struggled to find a way to continue the story, NBC had no such problem when it arrived The officeeven if it is going through its own changes. Before Michael Scott (Steve Carell) left in season 7, the series changed Dunder Mifflin with Saber buying the company. New leadership saw Dunder Mifflin expand its reach to sell more than just paper, with Sabre’s low-cost printers a major selling point. Or the printers had problems – like catching fire, as Andy testified – and it wasn’t very exposed The officeone of them is visible Dexter season 6.
Dexter Installed The Saber Printer From The Office
An Unexpected Prop Introduces a Fan Theory
In the middle Dexter season 6, episode 5, “Angel of Death”, Miami Metro continues its investigation into the Doomsday killers. Dexter examines the angels’ wings from their last kill and suspects that they were fixed with a strange type of glue. To confirm his suspicion, Dexter goes back to his office and prints the glue meltdown – and he does it using a Saber printer. This has led to many theories among fans that the two shows are connected, going so far as to suggest Dexter was tied to The officeA serial killer, the Scranton Strangler.
Some comments explaining the installation of the Saber printer suggest that The office it’s a show that’s also within the Dexter the world. This idea would suggest that Dexter or someone else in Miami Metro could be a huge fan of the show and personally put the Saber logo on a work printer just for fun. From both Dexter again The office ended without providing more connections, fans will have to decide for themselves which theory they want to believe to explain the Saber printer.
The Office and Dexter Connection is not real
Saber Prints Appeared at Other Shows
Although there is a lot of fun to be had with this idea, installation of the Saber printer in the Dexter it seems to be nothing more than a fun reference to another game that was popular at the time. Dexter again The office aired on different networks and did not feature any members of the same creative team. “The Angel of Death” director SJ Clarkson has never worked The officewhile production designer Jessica Kender didn’t even work on the sitcom.
This does not completely rule out the possibility Dexter again The office to exist in the same universe, but it makes it less likely that this was the purpose of the Easter egg. After all, the Saber printer has been used in other shows besides The office again Dexter. One of the printers can be seen at Parks and Recreation. However, this only led to some fans thinking that Parks and Recreation it was just the third show included in the shared universe. Regardless of what flaws you have in this idea, it’s a fun connection to make.
Some TV Shows With Shared Universal Ideas
Could Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Ted Lasso be connected?
While i Dexter again The office shared universe may not be true, there are many other ideas that fans have come up with about the possibility of some very different shows being connected. In some cases, fans can run away with their own backstory and continue myths based on the fact that the two shows share the same character. This is the case with a theory from a Redditor the sophandroswho used them inclusion of actor Anthony Stewart Head to connect Buffy the Vampire Slayer again Ted Lasso:
Rupert Giles changed his last name to Mansion after the events of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He returned to England, used the power he temporarily gained from the Devon Coven to acquire wealth, bought Richmond FC, and married Rebecca Welton. However, he couldn’t keep himself away from young women, and this ended up cheating on Rebecca.
While just seeing the same actor from two different shows is hardly proof of a shared world, there is one TV actor who has managed to bridge many different shows. Richard Belzer originated the role of Detective Munch in the crime series Murder: Life on the Streetbut Munch is probably best seen as part of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit combine. However, Munch also made a cameo in another crime series, The phoneafter years, and he even appeared in between Arrested Development.
It’s always fun to see the different ways fans can take information from their shows and create their own stories about how things are connected. This can be seen on Redditor FailResortsA theory about the “McBrideverse”, a network of programs all developed by and starring Danny McBride. While they point to loose connections between Fine Gemstones again Vice Principalsthey also give the impression that McBride is playing another version of the same character in every show:
Kenny Powers is McBride as a baseball player.
Neal Gamby is McBride if he stayed as a teacher and became a principal.
Jesse Gemstone is a McBride when he becomes a church preacher.
Red (from Pineapple Express) is McBride when he becomes a drug dealer.
Some of these ideas are more different than that The office again Dexter connection, but show the same ways fans can continue to enjoy the show without watching it.
