Still, looking forward to Season 8!

I hate to be a Deborah Downer but it's pretty shitty. A lot is glossed over, plot holes are never addressed, more plot holes pop up, and the writing is just awful.

DEXTER IS TRAINING APPRENTICE IN NEXT EPISODE
PLOT TWISSST

 

[Gahars]

With 3 or so episodes left, I guess it's worth reviving this thread. It's only been a few weeks, so it's not too bad of a bump.

And yeah, wow, Dexter has been nothing but shit this season. I mean, it's been shit for years now, but this new season is sinking to depths I didn't think possible. The wild ride can't end soon enough.

Spoiler: Dexter pro stealth mode

Seriously, do they even care anymore?

Is the show still following the books, or is it just making up it's own stuff now?

Only the first season is based on the books, and even then, only kind of; they changed a few elements here and there. After that, the show went on its own path.

Which is good, considering that the books reveal that the Dark Passenger is actually an ancient murder demon that possessed Dexter. No, not kidding here.

I'm sorry for the double post, but my God, this show has gone down the shitter faster than a Friendly's sundae. It's almost impressive how each new episode manages to be somehow worse than the one before it.

An apt metaphor for Dexter's final season:

 

[ShadowSoldier]

Ive actually given up on the show. Nobody's saying good things about this final season..

It's painfully awful at this point. I'm just watching out of some misplaced sense of obligation (and probably a touch of self-loathing) at this point. It can be a pretty good comedy, at times.

Plus, the images/gifs that come out of the show are downright hysterical at times.

What the fuck does that ending mean?

 

[yusuo]

I gotta admit the ending was pretty anti-climatic and completely unrealistic but voila it is what it is. Thanks for the good times Dexter

What the fuck does that ending mean?

I don't know, but even if the season was bad, I still feel sad. Of course the show couldn't have a good ending considering how it was going, but still...

 

[Gahars]

What the fuck does that ending mean?

"Go fuck yourselves, audience."

 

[Madridi]

"Go fuck yourselves, audience."

Yeah that's pretty much how I felt!!

I haven't recalled a good time in the past 4 seasons.

 

[Sefi]

Was a great ending until the last 30 or so seconds. Then it about summed up everything past season 4, which isn't great.

The fact that he was never caught was completely unrealistic. You'd think Miami PD would realize that almost every one of their possible murder suspects mysteriously goes missing and that the Bay Harbor Butcher's calling card was, y'know, the killing murderers thing.

Dexter in and of itself lost any sense of realism long ago and the suspension of disbelief got stretched so far that I would even take "dark possession by a magical cult" as a reasonable plot twist to the series.

Also fuck the show and Scott Buck can eat a bag of dicks every day for the rest of his life.

Could just be a Cubano thing.
