What the feck was that? Complete shit. Made no sense. Won't be watching the final season.
Television Dexter
- Thread starter Retirantmobs
- Start date
It did make sense. It's the only thing he could have done really.
Was really good. No surprise people will find a way to complain.
It's the show everyone wants to hate and people watch it to find things to hate rather than just enjoy it for what it is; a decent show.
Looking forward to the final season, going to be interesting how they're going from there.

Thoroughly enjoyed that. Get the impression he's delayed the inevitable, though. The signed warrant and La Guerta's investigation won't just die with her, and surely everyone's going to suspect Dexter now. I know they're a pretty stupid police force by and large but there's going to be some serious fallout you'd imagine. Happy that Hannah's out too. I'm sure there will be many questioning the ease with which she broke out (you'd have thought if she was stable she would've had people guarding her), but meh...
Mixed feelings about this. What Dexter did is perhaps the only thing he could have done. Debra in a way too, you could have seen from the plane that Deb was going to shoot LaGuerto not Dex. The final season would be interesting to see how is this going to end. As I have said before, I think that there could be only 2 possible solutions:
.
But with the events of this episode I think that the second option is far more likely to happen. Anyway, I hope that Debra somehow won't have a similar fate to him.
1. Dex becoming a sane person and ending the kills
2. Dex having a spectacular death
2. Dex having a spectacular death

Yeah, there'll be complaints by some about various aspects of the episode such as that but I enjoyed it.
The direction they've put Dexter in over the last season, "breaking" his code and other things makes it look more and more like
he will die at the end of the show or get some sort of punishment
I like how they used Doakes in the episode.
Not going to happen:
I think that it will be madness if Dex would go to jail or will have a death sentence. I wouldn't rule out him being killed by Debra, or making a suicide which in the end could be his only option. I think that if the situation will be either him or Debra, he would sacrifice himself. Being arrested though, I don't think that will suit him.
Dexter made sense, yeah. But Debra killing him was fecking mental. I guess she did it 'for him', so to stop him from becoming a complete psychopath. But to be honest, I think they've already went to far with how much Debra is protecting Dexter. To actually kill for him now? It's silly.
I was half expecting her to slowly back out of the container, and leave Dexter inside to finish the job. Wish they had went with that instead. Now Season 8 is going to be 12 episodes of Debra bitching and crying about how she murdered for Dexter.
Also the LaGueta thing showed a lot of promise, but in the end I think it was handled poorly. I was really hoping to have the chance for some dialogue between Dexter and LaGueta, the whole thing just didn't feel right to me. And once again conveniently wrapped up, LaGueta doesn't think to bring a single squad car with her as she goes to the docks to save a gang leader from a murderer? I'm not one for picking pointless plot holes, but Dexters are less plot holes than they are gaping cosmic rifts in the fabric of TV.
I dunno, I'm a moany git when it comes to this show. I just think it has shit writers and everything it does comes across so poorly I can't it seriously, which is a shame cause I actually really, really want to enjoy it.
Really enjoyed that.
It was the only ending possible, although for a moment I thought she might've killed Dexter and ended the show.
I don't see Debra living with the guilt of shooting LaGuerta, either she'll crack and kill Dexter or they'll both go out in a blaze of glory with Masuka the last one standing.
Watching Doakes reminded me how awesome he was, good cameo. Quinn's entire story that season was a pointless waste of time.
Overall a solid season, despite the plot-holes that was an improvement on seasons 5 and 6.
Btw, what's the significance of the plant Hannah left, is it meant to be poisonous?

I want him to die. As much as I 'love' the character, he is a murderer. He isn't a vigilante, his had a few dodgy kills in the past but going after LaGuerta... well... he deserves to be killed now. I just hope it's a blaze of glory. I think if he does die though, they won't have him die AND be the revealed as the Bay Harbour Butcher, that would be a little to dark with all the negative impact it would have on Deb, his baby, his friends, department etc...
I figure it as a gift or a 'message' of sorts, to let Dexter know she is safe and well. I highly doubt it's poison.
Of course people will question it! A murderer walking out of Hospital cause she was sick! And then strolling over to her lovers apartment to drop off the flower. Yup! Right up there with Dexter jabbing a guy in the neck and throwing him in the car in broad daylight.... in a park.... knowing that he has already been followed once by LaGuerta!
That would make more sense.
I hope we see her in season 8, maybe Debra kills her and that leads the police to close in on Debra and Dexter, although I think that may have been the last we see of her.
This.
Spot on. Until this episode I had high hopes that Dex would somehow manage to stop killings. But after he gone after LaGuerta and after what Deb did, I don't think that this is possible. A spectacular death could be the best way to end this. And I think that it is written in heaven that it would have to do something with Debra, and to be fair I think that she is the only person who can stop him, simply because she is the only person (well bar little Harrison) whom Dexter would not harm in any under circumstance.
Complete speculation about the next season
I reckon they may end the series with Harrison watching Dexter die, possibly death by cop after he's outed as the Bay Harbour Butcher.
The ending didn't match up to the expectations I hoped for the season finale. The best bit was the moment when Harry says "How did we end up here, Dexter?"
Possibly.
What do you all think will happen with LaGuerta?
With Deb shooting her and then holding her at the end, they can't exactly do Dexter's original plan so I think they'll dispose of her body and make it look like she shot Estrada (Dexter already shot him with her gun) and then ran away.
Will Deb get another promotion and if so who will be the new Lt? Batista is the obvious name but he retired.

Didn't say there was anything wrong with people questioning it, just that I wasn't arsed about the flaws (hence the 'meh'). I don't expect this show to be anything remotely close to being sound as far as things like this go now - it's gone miles past that. I enjoyed this season for what it was, it was miles better than the two that preceded it in my opinion.
I don't buy Deb doing the dirty. It really was time for Dexter himself to do something like that. The best part of the episode were the Doakes appearances for me.
Deb won't get another promotion. She was only promoted to Lt. to piss off Maria. I hope they bring in somebody who is actually competent (like a "Frank Lundy" figure) and neutral on the issue of the BHB still being alive- Dexter will probably be monitored and be outed in time.
I'm glad Maria is dead though- most dislikeable character in the show- even worse than Quinn, also she knew exactly what she was doing when she perp walked Dexter through the department like that, and then that convo with Debra 'this conversation is just getting started'
no it's not.

no it's not.Great episode I thought. At first I thought the plant was Hannah's aconyte stuff and she might try to poison Dexter, but what people have said here makes more sense.
For Laguerta, glad she's gone now. Always hated that fish looking bitch. Although I thought they would find a different way to kill her. My idea was to get Hannah out of prison by "losing the pen" that arrested her, and then get her to somehow poison Laguerta and get rid of her that way.
Dexter will probably end up dying at the end of next season, although I have a bit of doubt in me as they might want to end the series on a good note, not with him dying.

Well that was quite enjoyable although still quite ridiculous.
killing LaGuerta will surely just heap more suspicion on Dexter, if they just forget about it and focus next season on Deb feeling guilty we could be in for a rough ride.
Daylight kidnapping with child accomplices, not at all retarded.
Angel actually retiring without dying, nice.
I hope Tom is in the next season, he somehow makes the show better just by being so cool.
That little moment between Quinn and the babysitter better not lead to anything, because as much as I want to see her naked I don't want any more focus on Quinn and his love life.
Maybe but

They've already done that with Harrison being there when Rita died.
mixed feelings ...the story that they killed each other wont go anymore because deb used her gun ...dunno how can they fix that
true.
I think the Debra part was good and definitely not what I was expecting
Laguerta kept telling her to shoot Dexter. She wanted to make it stop so she snapped and shot her. She couldnt believe she'd done it thats why she went straight over to her. In the previous episode Dexter gave up a future and his form of true love to keep Debra safe. In this episode Debra gave up her morals and everything she believed in to keep Dexter safe. But its all on Dexter what shes become now. A murderer.
That just can't be the finale can it ? It was so poor I'm lost for words.It felt plain, average and just basically boring.I did like one line from Ryan "Get on your knees
and start kissing anything that even remotely resembles an ass."
Glad this crap is over now

Enjoyed it.
I predicted LaGuerta would die. Had an inkling Deb would be the one to do it as well.
Doakes being back just in flashback form was great, reminded me how good of a character he was. Was cracking up as some of his lines.

Really liked the finale and can't wait for next season.
They do have a lot of untied loose ends though which will probably be all forgotten like :
a) Why aren't they interested in finding out how the Isaac evidence was lost.
b) Does no one care about what happened to Isaac?

I don't mind the odd plot hole here and there, but when they become so plentiful they start eating away at the characters believability, it's a problem. This season, as a whole, seemed rushed and uninspired to me. I thought we'd be in for true epicness after last year's finale. We weren't.
For all that this season has been daft, next season will be so much worse now that they've started this new storyline with Deb. How the feck can they drag 12 episodes out of that?
Enjoyed the Doakes flashbacks, everything else was a bit lame.
The end was a total anticlimax for me, and I don't buy Deb killing LaGuerta for one minute, it would have been far better for Dexter to cross that line.
The arrest of Dexter and his get out was also ridiculous.

I actually enjoyed that.
I've sort of come to embrace the show for the farce that it's become and let myself look past all the glaring plotholes, lame characters, stupid scenarios and terrible writing, and I did find that quite enjoyable.
Maybe that's partly due to how shit the Homeland finale was though, wouldn't be hard to beat that.

Oh and from the Showrunner: (not really a spoiler)
Could you image if they did redirect? feck sake.
Next season has been called a likely final season. Is that still the case? What conversations have you had with the network about that?
Buck: That’s a Showtime decision and I’m not aware a final decision has been made. But we’re approaching the season as if it’s a final season. If we’re told otherwise, we’ll redirect.

If the ratings for the first 6-8 episodes hold up, they'll redirect and give us a 9th season.
Kill me now.
how would they do that? Most of the interesting characters are out of Miami Metro Homicide now.. they can't even think of any funny uses for Masuka anymore and Quinn is becoming more and more pointless..
It's literally only Debra, Dexter, Quinn and Masuka left in the department now. If you noticed during the 'perp walk' through the office it was literally filled with randomers because there are so few remaining dept. staff.

Hm, a bit unsure about that ending. If next season is about emotional crap then I will stop watching very quickly.
I really don't get how they would be able to do that unless they're told before the scripts are done and filming starts on the new season. With what has happened over the last couple of seasons I can't see how they would be able to make it go on longer unless they go to a new location where there are more possibilities, but even then it wouldn't "feel" like Dexter.
