I had such high hopes for this show, and after they took the easy way out by killing luis and mike (I think some writers got laid off between the writings of the seasons and they didn't know what the plans were for these characters?) I feel the show took a steep turn downhill, I was really excited to see how those two would pan out.

Really though why would they end the series like this? What were the other proposed ideas that were SO much worse that they didn't get accepted =[. I've been watching this show for ages and now I'm sad.

This particular ending + Show Spoiler +
Dexter abandoning his family to prevent them from getting hurt, Deb dying
, could have been interesting if it was not preceded by the worst season I've seen on any show on TV.

The fade out scene at the end felt like it would have been very poignant if I had given a shit anymore. Dexter realizing he had feelings, only to have to let them go and live in isolation because of who he is... and interesting ending for a character I used to care quite deeply for, but no longer do.

This was me watching the finale:

I'm gonna quote what I said on facebook:

I have to hand it to the writers of Dexter. There is absolutely no conceivable way you could have come up with a worse ending -- even if you tried. The most competent writers in the world wouldn't be able to pull that off. Congratulations.

I'm going to be scouring the internet for some time to find an explanation for why this was a good ending to the show. Surely someone out there will be able to see it and write up a nice piece allowing me to find emotional satisfaction to this whole thing because right now all I can feel is confusion about why this finale completely lacked closure even to this season much less the whole goddam show.

Are they aiming for a movie? Maybe the network caved and is buying another season?

"I can't bear to be without you again, not even for a few days"
5 minutes later
"I got some shit to do, go ahead without me I'll see you in a few days."
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

This is exactly how I feel. The ending wasn't bad per se, but the whole last season was so terrible that everything leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

If the writers had succeeded in convincing me of this, that would have been a powerful and impressive ending. Unfortunately, the reason for Dexter to think he's too dangerous to be around Hannah/Harrison was utterly nonsensical so Dexter's decision to fucking abandon them was too stupid to have any impact. I'm honestly baffled that the writers intended me to buy that Dexter had a complete turnaround because a bizarre series of coincidences resulted in Deb's death.

I think the ending was great. Deciding to give up what he spent his life pursuing is pretty awesome. And I think Hannah will be a great mom lol ^_^

having Dexter go to Argentina and live happily ever after with Hannah and Harrison would have been a worse ending. Happy endings don't exist for Dexter.

Just watched the episode. Yeah. I can't even pick out single things that went wrong. The entire episode was just crap. One of the best shows for 7 seasons, and then *flop*.

I actually think the last episode was fairly good, with two big exceptions.

+ : The scene with Saxon at the prison was perfect. The silence and tension between them, Saxon grinning smugly, and then Dexter baiting him into making the first move. The long pause before pressing the emergency button, the fake reaction, and Batista and Quinn watching the whole thing on tape. It was amazing. One of my favorite scenes ever in the show. I'm convinced, too, that Dexter was ready to kill Saxon and accept the consequences whether he picked up that pen or not.

- : Deb being totally fine and then all of a sudden "oh there were complications, sorry she's a vegetable Kappa". It was impossible to feel anything given that. I did get quite sad when he was pushing that switch, though.

- : The fact that Dexter decided to preserve himself at the end. The choice he made was even more cowardly than suicide. Too afraid to hurt anyone else, too afraid to kill yourself. It really rubbed me the wrong way. That whole idea would have had way more effect if it had ended with a slow pan of Dexter resting peacefully at the bottom of the sea, like so many of his victims.

We found Dove in a soapless place.

At least that would have been believable, albeit boring.

Let me write out the plot of this most recent episode to illuminate how utterly disjointed and unfathomably stupid it is:

  • Deb gets shot but recovers.
  • Dexter finds out and stays in Miami. He considers whether or not he should just go to Argentina.
  • Dexter says he cannot imagine being away from Hannah and Harrison and decides to leave.
  • Nevermind, Dexter decides he has to kill Saxon to make sure Deb is safe
  • Saxon returns to kill Deb for no reason and gets caught.
  • Oh by the way, Deb isn't recovering. PSYCH! She's actually brain dead now because of a clot.
  • Dexter kills Saxon in a police station on camera in front of everyone (including some guards he's never met).
  • Dexter leaves the station after killing a man in custody.
  • Dexter then gets on his boat, and rocks up to the hospital ...that is somehow at the edge of the ocean?
  • Dexter then pulls the plug on Deb because... she needs to die on his terms and fuck all of the other people in her life?
  • Dexter rolls her body out in front of everyone, lifts her onto his boat and then dumps her in the ocean.
  • DEXTER THEN RIDES HIS BOAT INTO A HURRICANE abandoning his young son and practically-wife
  • But wait! He's still alive. He Dark-Knighted this shit and faked his death!
  • Dexter becomes a fucking lumberjack.


That plot is more fucking absurd than any of the mecha-doakes storylines.

If the story was simply "Dexter got away and lived in Argentina happily ever after with Hannah" ... it would be boring, sure, but it would have at least followed some kind of logic.

So much whine lol. I mean the ending wasn't spectacular but it was okay.

I'm mostly just mad at dexter being a cunt and dumping his son on his "practically-wife" that he hasn't really spent a whole lot of time with, on the grounds that "erry1 1m cl0s3 2 getz hert :'(((("

I don't know why, but I found the part where Dexter says he went in to do a GSR test and Batista says, "but you don't even work here anymore" exceptionally funny.

And how the fuck does Dexter survive sailing his boat into a hurricane? In an interview with Scott Buck, he says that there's actually an emergency raft on the boat, as if that somehow explains how Dexter survived. These writers seriously had no clue what they were doing.
