Dexter - official topic

[Benji]

I am three weeks behind but I've deleted the episodes from my laptop. Wholeheartedly do not care how this ends now.

I say this with no sarcasm, you're probably better off. Honestly, watch them as a clump just for finalities sake, but don't rush to it, just save it for one day when you've got nothing better to do.

Normally i don't bother emailing networks (except for Fox who, despite their fault, always get back to me) but i may write a scathing email to Showtime regarding this season. I've harped on it before but Dexter has consistently increased its audience year after year and, despite a few mediocre seasons, it was still an enjoyable show to watch but right now it's become a parody of itself.

Do it, man. Maybe if enough people do it'll scrap Scott Buck's stupid spinoff.

[Ant]

I thought the spin-off was scrapped

after the "Prodigy" died?

[C-MIL]

If that article is true i think Showtime want to create a new generation of Dexters which will involve every single pissed off fan thus having an endless cycle of shows.

Thats the only logical conclusion i can come up with.

Dexter is a remorseless, emotionless, bad motherfucker who is taught at an early age to take his anger and evil out on people who deserve it. In no way shape or form should he fucking CRY in front of one of his colleagues

I can't even bring myself to hatewatch this one anymore, but...

Is what you've spoilered there really the problem with how all this is winding down?

[Ant]

No but its my biggest gripe about it really. I would have loved to have seen a big manhunt on for Dexter after Batista twigs on what LaGuerta found out. Dexter on the run and Batista using the entire Miami Police Force/FBI resources in the final few episodes hunting down Dexter would have made for some awesome TV if done right.

What i spoilered pretty much goes against what was always ingrained into his character. Yes he can grow, yes he can be more perceptive of how others feel and how others feel for him but don't make the guy a flat out bitch

So it's the second-to-last episode and I'm watching Dexter sell his boat to some guy, listing the features. What the hell?

/r/dexter update: They have now made the Breaking Bad discussion post stickied the top. It has nearly 2000 upvotes.

The rumoured spin-off turns out to be about Dexter's boat. After a life of seeing violent murders, the boat becomes a member of Miami Metro Homicide as a crime solving boat. It's new name? Knightboat! Every week there's a crime to solve, and every week there's a canal, inlet, or fjord to help solve that crime!

[Ant]

I'd rather that happened to be honest.

THE SOUL OF DEXTER TAKES OVER THE BOAT AND INSTEAD OF A KILL ROOM HE HAS A KILL DOCK

Obvious series finale spoiler on the page, but you must see this.

Dexter finale summed up:

But seriously, it was awful.

[SeanDMan]

I dunno whose idea that finale is but it should have been axed before it got to production.

[Ant]

To be honest, although the finale/final season was disappointing, i am totally fine with how it ended.

Dexter living is justification and his own punishment. He has lost his son, his girlfriend and his sister (permanently). I just wish there was a big bad to do the final season justice. Needless to say i'll be sending Showtime a scathing email as this was my favourite show and they severely let everyone down and lied when they said "they will not let Dexter go out with anything but a bang"

[Animal]

For anyone who wants to just find out how Dexter ends now. It's as bad as you thought it was going to be.

How is it possible that it was worse than this?

Scott Buck and crew is how.

[Benji]

Colleton and Buck try to defend the finale and it's just as awful and painful as you'd expect. The bit where they excuse the boat/hurricane issues with telling people not to analyse it too closely has taken me from assuming Buck was a writer beyond his station to safely knowing that he's a hack.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Hahahahahahaha oh my god. This show. Holy shit.

[Animal]

"So where gonna introduce a daughter for Masuka?"
"Yes"

"And then what?"
"Well she just hangs around and smokes weed once and that's it"
"Brilliant, just what the final season needs!"
