The worst thing was how Deb had to end. Seriously??? Brain dead and thrown into the ocean like any of Dexter's usual victims?
1.Though they tried to let it look as Dexter's last service for his sister and as kind of a "burial at sea" in his view, it didn't work for me.
Deb had deserved better!!
On the other hand I liked that Hannah could escape with Harrison.
And I definitely 2.prefer Dexter to have survived instead of committing suicide in the hurrican (but as lumberjack? well ... why not ...).
Maybe this way there even is a slight possibility to continue the story some day (just think of 24!).
Somehow also I get the point of Dexter finally leaving behind his "Dark Passenger", but as a direct result he loses Deb. That tragic development kind of works. Still I'd say why not let him join Hannah and Harrison? 3. Is a new start in Argentina with him really more dangerous than leaving them alone in a foreign land with Hannah as a known fugitive?
As I said, maybe in a few years they'll reconsider and bring back Dexter?
1.Well no one liked the deb stuff and it was not necessary or smart, I think it will only hurt dvd sales.
also ratings in syndication. If you get a chance to end a series the smart thing is to not have any tragic stuff.
Keep people loving it.
This ending is a JF ending, trying to be cute and shocking and punishing the bad guy etc. also showrunner doing a ending they like with no regard for what the fans need or want.
I saw some of this in BB too, and vince even admitted he and the writers wrote the final season for themselves, and what they wanted rather than worry about what fans want.
Deb was a character I liked at times and at times I didnt, but she was colorful and popular and killer her like that and then the whole sea thing was awful.
2.yeah it is but many wanted him dead, but this does leave the door open for a return. Ditto with hannah getting away.
3.It makes no sense that dex does not go to hannah, even deb told him to go, it was the last thing she said to him!
This was the writers way of punishing dex but not killing him.
they thought it would be wrong to let him live happily ever after.
Now me I would have let him and hannah get away together, and for deb to live and marry the other detective.
I would have had dex kill the other guy, because leaving him alive is a mistake, he could always escape later on , and come after you or deb. kill him and let the show end happy. Then put a alternate ending that is tragic and everyone dies on the fricking dvd LOL kill them all deb dexter hannah and the other detectives.
