Seriously? You were pleased to see Laguerta get killed?
Come on, man. I know she was kind of annoying, but she was one of the few characters in the show that was actually one of the good guys (along with Batista). She didn't deserve to be betrayed and murdered by a fellow cop just because she figured out that Dexter was indeed the Bay Harbor Butcher. [Reply]

Laguerta was a fucking cunt. She was one of the most annoying characters on the show. [Reply]

Well, I know, but still...she was freaking annoying. I liked her as Dr. Nathan on "Oz" and after watching her on Dexter, I cringe when I see her face because I found her to be that annoying for whatever reason. When I revisit Oz, I hope she didn't ruin Dr. Nathan for me. [Reply]

Ever watched Supernatural? If not, you should try a few episodes and see if it catches on. [Reply]
So I thought it was funny that during the Showtime presentation last week, the president of the network said he has no regrets with the way Dexter ended. That the idea of killing off Dexter was never even mentioned.
That is because THE EXECUTIVES MADE IT CLEAR TO THE WRITING ROOM THAT IT WAS NOT AN OPTION YOU ****! Showtime executives wanted a Dexter spin off and the only way to keep that going was keep Dexter alive.
More fun stuff from Showtime: The showrunners at Masters of Sex (which is amazing and you should watch it) had a four season window to tell the story they wanted to tell. Once again, Showtime executives have told them to stretch that out to 6 seasons.
So when Masters of Sex starts spinning its wheels in Season 2, you'll know why. [Reply]
I would even say season 8 had a chance to be really good with one change:
Spoiler!
When Deb drives the car off into the lake to try to kill Dex, she doesnt go back in for him. Instead it is a cat and mouse game Dex vs Deb for the rest of the season. End it any which way you want as long as it doesnt include a hurricane, Deb dying by blood clot (seriously that is how they kill this awesome character? FUCK YOU) or Lumberjack.

Dex had to die, there's no other way around it. Instead, they can't even give Deb a hero's death, and they turn Dex from principled serial killer to lumberjack/deadbeat dad.
Shoot, the only way to reconcile what happened is to turn all of season 8 into a Deb dream sequence where's she's making the decision whether or not to kill Dex.

I think the goose is cooked, without deb. They should have left some question as to whether Doakes was dead/changed the way he 'died'. Doakes could have been the GOAT villian. [Reply]

That'd be awesome. I loved the Dexter vs. Doakes stuff. [Reply]
I really don't think the ending of Dexter was the worse ever ( people can be dramatic) I think it was decent and definitely could of been done a lot better though. [Reply]
