Dexter

[RyanLeaf16]

Let me get something straight. I never said Doakes was alive. I just said I wanted to see where the character was when the scene flashed and compared it to when he was following Dexter back in season two. I also think it is a fantasy, but, I said it was fun to speculate.

Anyway, the show's producers were pretty adamant that season 8 is it. They said they have been planning a two-season finale and this episode sets it all in motion. Plus, they had a little salary issue with MCH about his pay. He is getting $1 million per episode for this season and next and that almost didn't happen. Plus, I've read that MCH wants to focus more on Broadway and film.

Or it could just be easier/quicker to type out. But, I can see how you can connect being "bros" with an abbreviation.

god I hope LaGuerta gets killed

[Goober]

Oh, ok. That's what I thought. I guess I just misread what you said.

Also, for as much as people here love to play film/tv show critic and shit on shows like this and talk about how predictable it is, can anyone honestly say they saw the set up by LaGuerta?

It was terribly obvious they were setting up for Dexter to get caught. They constantly referenced his mom's killers for several episodes before hand.

[DoubleDeuce]

Damn, that was crazy

[Palooza]

predictable.

Why didn't Deb's dress have blood on it at the party? She was dry humping LaGuerta's body.

Predictable.

So the final season will have Hannah McKay going after Deb and Dexter torn in between with Deb and Dexter piping and only Deb living?

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

I don't think Hannah McKay is going to be hunting Dexter. I think she's getting going to be sending postcards from Argentina.

As for the finale...predictable, but I thought it was good. As for Deb after shooting her...in the little production discussion after the episode...they basically left the camera running after the scene and it as Jennifer Carpenter trying to win a Golden Globe or something...

My biggest issue is this...

It is the first time someone has openly stated that DEXTER IS THE BAY HARBOR BUTCHER...I don't see how Dexter can reasonable continue his moonlighting with the inkling out there that he's the guy...people will be watching him extra close, especially with LaGuerta ending up dead after accusing him of such.

By Season 8, Dexter being a moonlighting serial killer has to be the worst kept secret...

It would have been wise for Tom to come out and tell LaGuerta either he has known Dexter is the Bay Harbor Butcher for years or "even if he was"...but, he doesn't care because he kills scumbags or something.

That would have been cool.

Not sure I like tonight's ending. Frankly, I find Deb's character kinda pointless now. I don't want Dexter to kill her, but her character kinda drags the show down.

Have no clue where season 8 is going ... but I hate how they killed off Ray Stevenson. He had the potential to be John Lithgow-level Dexter foil ... and they kill him off like that? Jesus.

The show is no longer about Dexter, and that should be ok...there is absolutely nothing else they can tell you about Dexter that you don't already know or wouldn't come off as forced and contrived...there is nothing else his character can arc to. His cover with Rita and eventually falling for HER and humanizing his character with Harrison was his arc...everything since...Lumen, Hannah, his deviation from "the code" is all contrived and forced to further a character analysis that doesn't need to be analyzed anymore because there is nothing to tell.

The show, really, is about Deb now, and has been since the middle of last season, and what has gone on since is essentially her character arc and expounding on her character.

[dave]

I hate Deb's character.

[stevsta]

deb ruined the fucking killlllllllllllll


fuck man so stupid that she

 

shoots leguerta

[DoubleDeuce]

I've been wanting LaGuerta to die all series, so I cheered
