So the concept of getting into trouble almost getting caught and then magically getting out of that in the span of 2 episodes counts as amounting to anything? It´s such shitty writing and boring plot development. Maybe just maybe move the show forward in some way instead of resetting it every god damn season finale. | ||

Dexter broke his code, or at least was about to. Deb killed someone protecting his secret. Deb killed LaGuerta, the only person who thought Dexter was still responsible for the Bay harbour butchers. Deb used her gun to kill LaGuerta, police can match ballistics. I'm guessing Dexter will have to dump the bodies to cover evidence, meaning people will question where she is. Hanna escaped, and bears an almighty grudge against Deb and probably Dexter too. And she has no interest in keeping any kinds of secrets for Deb. Not sure how this season hasn't moved things on, much better than the previous season. Don't see it as a reset at all. | ||

None of those things change anything, he is still at large killing people. Another one trying to bust him just got killed. That has been the case throughout the whole show. Not very fun to watch when you know the one close on his trail will die and not be able to bust him. People wont question where she is, Dexter will probably make it look like she could not take this anymore and killed herself, and everyone except the old cop dude will buy it. He will look deeper into it and I guess then he will be killed. I mean they don´t even move the show to the point where the police is hunting him. | ||

How can you presume to know the course of next season already? We haven't seen any of the aftermath of Laguerta dying but you seem to assume everything is hunky dunky. + Show Spoiler + It isn't | ||

Also, Deb called dispatch and asked for LeGuerta's position directly before she was killed and she used her own gun so she is fucked. It depends on how everything shakes out, I guess, but they could still get out of it without too much trouble. Deb has a completely legitimate excuse for having called Dexter and asked dispatch for LaGuerta's location. They were both supposed to be at Angel's party, and had obviously been at each other's throats, so any concerned sister would understandably be worried for her brother. Dexter doesn't pick up, she gets more worried and asks for LaGuerta's location, goes to the shipyard, doesn't find her or Dexter, comes back to the party. There's a number of ways they could get rid of the bodies without them ever being found, so that's less of a concern. Dump them in the Everglades, dump them in the ocean, incinerate them... that's not really a challenge for Dexter, it's been fairly established that he's found new ways to get rid of bodies since they found his first "graveyard." He might not even have to hide the bodies, either, if he just removes Deb's bullet and sticks one of Estrada's in, so that it looks like they shot each other... remember, Estrada called LaGuerta a little while before she was killed, and has already been convicted of murder previously, so he'd be the prime suspect no matter what. As for the bullet, that's easier to account for than you'd think. All Deb has to do is make a false report about witnessing a mugging or robbery or something while off-duty, say she fired on the suspect because he pulled a gun on her, but he got away. They could even go so far as having Dexter wing her so she can say she fired in self-defense. They aren't going to make a big deal out of trying to find one stray bullet if a Lieutenant makes a legitimate-sounding report for why she has a bullet missing from her gun. All that would then be left to do is for Dexter to break into LaGuerta's place before people get concerned about her being missing, steal/destroy all the evidence she had, and maybe plant some stuff that makes her seem crazier. Well within his capability, he's done it a million times already. I kind of hope that they don't get away with it, because it really pisses me off when something major happens in a show and it gets mostly swept under the rug, but there's a number of ways that they could pull it off. | ||

I love Dexter but was bitterly disappointing to me this season so like him I posted that earlier in the thread. Just because it's the shows thread doesn't mean it has to be one big circle jerk. The early seasons set the bar really damn high it's only natural when a season like this comes a long that some people are disappointed and want to voice that opinion... On a side note.. You really consider this one of the best seasons of Dexter?? I know its personal opinion but I just find it hard to believe. | ||

So I wouldn't really take their word for it. | ||

It shouldn't really be that surprising as a ton of people rank it as one of the best as well, usually just behind 1,2, or 4. | ||

All the seasons have played out in a similar manner. Of course the next season will be the last so I suppose they could mix it up a bit since they don´t have to milk it anymore. Still think it would have been much more exciting if this season ended in Dexter being "busted" and a man hunt starts. And the last season revolves around him roaming killing people whilst trying to avoid getting put in jail. But I guess that would be to drastic, maybe even be something you would not expect. Shocking concept, I know. | ||

I'm glad next season will be the last - contrary to the majority i guess - i've noticed a huge decline in the writing quality. The show used to be so clever and now it's just... meh. Just as Dexter (the person) the Dexter series has become completly wishy-washy, which wouldn't be too bad if they skipped 1-2 totally useless seasons that totally killed the brilliant vibe/drive they once had. I really hate it when they prolong a series so much just for the $$$  | ||

It´s such shitty writing and boring plot development. Maybe just maybe move the show forward in some way instead of resetting it every god damn season finale. What what what what??? 1 main character (Laquerta) and 2 side characters (Mike Anderson, Computer geek guy) died this season. One main character (Angel) is now retired. Deb found out everything about Dexter (She didn't know shit pre-season 7). Dexter decides F the code, I'll kill to save myself. Deb kills an innocent person. DEXTER GETS ARRESTED FOR BEING WHAT HE IS. What do you expect to happen to further the story? Seriously? Does Dexter have to go to prison for realz 4 seasons in a row to appease you? Does he need to start shooting people with a gun? Does he need to start using Drone strikes on his target as his new method of killing? How would they even continue the series? Tons of stuff happened this season. Just lots of people want to cover their eyes. | ||

Looking at how many people rate season 4 over season 1 tells me that there are two very different type of fans who watch dexter - one's who do it for entertainment, and ones who see it as a (brilliant) psychological drama akin to breaking bad. | ||
