He is strapped to a table and about to get the lethal injection and be executed and we realized that the entire show has been Dexter's life flashing before his eyes before he is killed for his crimes.

having the whole thing as a flashback wouldn't have just been a bad idea, it would have been soap opera bad... That is such lazy writing that isn't even funny.
I do agree with you that this ending was a bit of a let down but there really wasn't a golden road to take with this story unfortunately. At least not that wraps everything up without people dying and drawing too many contrived conclusions. If he goes to argentina it seems that he gets away scott free with all that he has done which isn't really an ending at all. If they bust him as a serial killer not only does it disappoint the audience (the whole drive of the show is he gets out of these jams) it leaves a whole miniseries worth of story line involving trials that you couldn't just do a drive by with at the end. Trials that would involve most of the characters that he called friends turning on him and that would have just been a mess.
maybe a movie will have him landing in argentina and they can start killing killers out there. Not sure this story works without the supporting cast though..
