Anyone watch the series finale of Dexter? Thoughts?
Like many people I have thought that Dexter has been going steadily downhill since the end of Season 4, but I have liked it enough to keep watching.
I was actually excited when they announced that this season would be the last because it gave the show a chance to choose its own destiny and wrap up the story. This season has been hit or miss and tonight was the season and series finale. Ultimately, I was pretty satisfied with how it ended. I just read an article about how Clyde Phillips the executive producer and show runner for the first four seasons of Dexter would have ended it and I have to admit I would have preferred his version, but in the end I was pretty happy with how they wrapped it up. |

I've never watched the show Dexter. Supposed to be about a serial killer, I hear. Seems like you watch a lot of television.

Not really. I did watch Dexter, but it is now over. I watch Breaking Bad which will be over next week and probably 2-4 other shows regularly depending on what shows are actively airing. Normally I watch movies or sports. Most TV shows don't really interest me that much.

After the Dooms Day Killer season it was all downhill. And the John Lithgow season was the best hands down! I personally did not care for the ending, thought it was pretty bad and left me really disappointed. With the following the show had they could have really went out on a high note. Its almost as if they stopped caring...I'm sorry but you don't end a series about a serial killer with "hey, lets go get ice cream"

I just dont get it...leave your son with a fugitive and become the brawny man deep in the woods. Not to mention All that talk with Vogel about Dexter showing love and compassion...it all led to no where. Blah.

It was god awful. An absolutely brutal final season imo. Especially if you also watch Breaking Bad, and see how good a finale season can be written.
First 4 seasons were the best, with Season 4, my ultimate favorite. However I also like Season 6. Just so disappointed in it. Going to track down the article you referenced to see how he would have ended it.

I think that scene would have made more sense.. if instead of just sitting there, that he was having a conversation with Harry.. like he's rejected the compassion and emotions that he "wanted to turn off" and he is indeed re-embracing the Monster that he used to be.

I never watched it because the whole idea of making a show like that is sick.
I hope Dexter comes out of the TV and kills everybody watching that shit. ![]()

He doesn't just kill himself because his drive to survive is too big, but now he finds himself alone, without his family or friends and, in a way, isolated like a prisoner so while he doesn't get caught and end up in jail he is still in a prison of sorts that he has created for himself. |

I watched a couple episodes but never really got into it that much. I am watching season 6 of Supernatural and its pretty good. Waiting on Season 4 of walking dead.

Understandably with John Lithgow and the Trinity stuff it was going to be a hard act to follow, but they also went through changes on the staff. The guy who was the executive producer/creator of the show left and they brought in a new show runner and a lot of new people. I don't know for certain, but I get the feeling that the original guy wanted to keep the show dark and edgy like it was when it started and Showtime wanted to try to make it more accessible. In season 8 I thought the Dr. Vogul stuff was interesting. We got to learn a little more about Dexter's past, but among the problems with it was that there was never really a sense of danger that Dexter might be caught or killed. The only question was whether or not he would end up with Hannah. It was all pretty anti-climactic. |

I hope there is a movie in the future. This season seemed to be rushed and small errors were overlooked like Hannah having a syringe on the bus. Didn't she just go through security or something to get on a plane? Just stupid errors to rush production. Dexter being alone and having to live with his internal pain is a good ending I guess.

It was almost kind of like they knew what they needed to have happen and they were going to push through and make it happen no matter what. To me, it would have been better had they started angling towards the finale with 4-5 episodes left so they could more logically tie up the loose ends and put it all together instead of waiting for the last minute. |

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..

I think I was just happy it wasn't totally bad. These last two seasons have been weak. Which is a shame because I once really loved the show and it was good to see they put some effort into this episode.
I liked little things like the ice truck reference and the hurricane having Dexter's mother's name and him wearing his kill outfit at the end with Deb. It was also interesting that there was less internal dialogue. I noticed that in particular in the scene with his colleagues after he killed. The stuff that he would normal only say in his own brain he said outloud. All that said...leave your kid with a killer who drugged you and your sister just this season after killing her husband? Yeah..hmmmm. I was sort of disappointed that we never had to see the folks he worked with deal with the truth about Dexter. |

This made him a very intriguing protagonist. On the one hand you empathized with him because he was extracting justice, making those guilty of horrible crimes pay, and on the other hand we saw he was a fucking blood-thirsty nutcase kept in check only by his father's moral code and the conversations he had with his imaginary ghost. I think the problem with Dexter is that it went on for too long and the choices they made took the character in directions which led to the horrific mess which was were the last two seasons and the spectacularly bad finale, which is like the writers knew there was no way to save the shipwreck the show had become and simply did not give a flying fuck, just took that old, sick dog behind the barn and put it out of its misery. |

The added "extra" ending was unneeded and destroyed it.

I thought the finale was pretty average too, this entire season has been dull, shame. Breaking Bad on the other hand have pulled it off, the end of season 4 was my favourite of any tv series and I thought they might ruin it, but no, cant wait for the last one!

My wife and I were both disappointed with the ending. I feel like we stuck with the show for 8 seasons and they fucked us.
This season especially was painfully hard to watch. Episodes dragged on and on. I thought everything was going to come to a violent clash in the final episode. Instead it was just "blah" and pretty predictable. It really bums me out because besides Breaking Bad, this show was one of my favorites. Oh well....

I wasn't crazy about this season, or the pathetic villain, but the last 15 minutes was a fitting end to the series. This show needed to end. The last few seasons have made it painfully obvious how inferior the show is to other great stuff on TV. The need to hear Dexter's inner thoughts explaining every move he made was getting on my nerves.
I probably watched it to the end more out of obligation, than desire.

I like them both for different reasons. They're on different tiers, so you're right -- it's not even fair to compare them -- but Dexter could have been a little more "show", and less "tell". The writers aren't in the same league as Breaking Bad.

Some seasons of Dexter are really awesome, especially 4th and I always thought if they ended it than how perfectly 4th season ended and "closed the circle" it would be perfect. After 4th season I still liked the show, but it was getting worse.
I'm not disappointed with the end, but not really excited either. I liked the atmosphere, of the hurricane coming and the "extra ending" made it I think worse and also kinda confusing and unrealistic, which was to me probably the biggest problem of late Dexter seasons, it was just too crazy and did not lead anywhere, they just wanted to make more episodes. By coincidence I watched end of Sopranos few weeks ago and I absolutely loved that ending, first I was like WTF??, but it made me think a lot about Tony, about life, meaning of it, death, about guilt..all this was in my mind for few days and I had just strong feeling that I have seen something real, maybe even learnt something. Nothing like that after finale of Dexter even I think that show had potential for amazing finale, but still, I'm not really disappointed either. |

You think this shows bad? Try watching supernatural. It started out scary in seasons 1/2 and now the shows a joke/sit com.
It's just them battling angels demons and all this bull shit and you know they're never in any real danger. There biggest threat is Crowlie the big bad Demon and even he seems to have to much of a heart to kill Sam and Dean. |
