.basically sums it up for me as well. After the last episode someone posted a link to spoilers and I just thought, bugger it I'll just read it now.
Sarcastic?Great finale to an incredible show. Gutted it's over
That's pretty bad too.
I'd say around 99% of Dexter fans thought the last few seasons were crap.
There are plenty of shows people over here love. Just look at other threads. Anyways I think most people in this thread loved it at some point. If you loved the finale then fair play. Most didn't for obvious reasons.
Most people will agree that early seasons were fantastic, but that doesn't really mean you can't criticise the last half of the show. People kept watching because we'd already invested so many hours in the show and we wanted to see how it ended - it's not really that hard to understand. The finale was as good as you'd expect considering what was leading up to it, but I just can't help but feel they went down a completely wrong avenue this season. Already from the first season most people were expecting that it'd somehow end with Dexter being found out and either being on the run or in custody. Now, I'm not saying that shows should always end the way people expect it to (in most cases, it shouldn't). But for a show like Dexter it just doesn't really make sense to me that you have this serial killer who's true identity is discovered by various people every season - yet, for some reason, it's never actually enough people at the same time/important enough people so anything happens. As someone said, this last season should be about the viewer being on the edge to see whether Dexter would be caught, but instead it's about his girlfriend (who can't even bother to do anything to disguise herself, despite the fact that she sticks out like a sore thumb) being caught. The show is called Dexter for a reason. It was all built up for Dexter to be under pressure (Debra knowing who he is, LaGuerta dying when Matthews knew fully well of her suspicions and Quinn also suspecting Dexter), but all of that was completely ignored this season. Quinn suddenly love Dexter and Matthews didn't put any pressure on Dexter at all.
Indeed, what on earth was all that about? Are we supposed to believe that his boat got completely destroyed and he swam to shore in the middle of a massive storm or am I missing something?
You're probably the only one, so I'm ok with that.I'd say you're talking out of your ass, but what's new there Cina?
I hate to jump on the bandwagon but that's very well put. I didn't really care when Dex unplugged Deb, I was more focused on the meta-aspect of the scene; a once great show euthanized after years in vegetative state.
Wait, what? This happened?
Keep the possibility of a spin-off/movie alive? That's my guess anyway.
Well said Elliott.
unfortunately
