Anytime someone says "We love our ending but some people might not like it", what they're actually saying is "It's a really awful ending that nobody will like".

Haha, yeah. Dexter writers saying, "it feels right to us" is a guaranteed sign that it's going to be a massive pile of poo poo.

Dexter: I already know you're a great Dad This loving show. I totally missed the false start with Hannah poking her head around the curtain before coming in for real when I watched it, seeing that gif makes it so jarring. Don't know why I should be surprised. The Quinn fakeout was the laziest piece of poo poo ever. This is a show that once upon a time had Dexter losing his poo poo over the potential for MMPD finding blood spots in an attic (remember him cleaning it with Lumen?), now he's micking people less than 20 metres away from his work colleagues. We're in the final season of the show and Dexter is in absolutely zero peril. Still, I'm glad the spoilers are 100% correct because at least now I don't have to waste my time with this pile of total poo poo. This show is officially going to have the shittest climax that can be conceived.

I agree with whoever said the problem is the plot doesn't have anything holding tension from episode to episode. Even the lovely sideplots no one cares about get resolved in horrible fashion. Oh is Quinn going to become sergeant? No? Oh, ok. Oh, well, is Masuka's daughter just trying to get his money? No? Oh...alright then.

Even the lovely sideplots no one cares about get resolved in horrible fashion. I think the Masuka daughter thing is just out of place. Why is it even being shown? Also, I can't be the only one that thinks her getting bent out of shape because Masuka had someone do a background check is kind of a strange reaction, even though Masuka himself had already done the DNA test to confirm paternity. I mean it just seems like common sense to do that when someone comes out of nowhere and says 'Hey I'm your daughter from a sperm donation and I'd like to get to know you'. I can understand being upset about offering the money because that seems a bit presumptuous but to be upset at the background check itself just seems odd in this particular situation.

I don't think either of those plot threads are done with yet, sadly. Quinn will probably somehow end up solving the case he's working on and be promoted even though he's an infinitely worse option. And even though I have zero faith in the writers the daughter sub plot can't end there. I feel like the writers will give these secondary characters some form of happy ending. Minus a shock death or two.

Quinn is going to make sergeant by sleeping with the new sergeant's husband until she goes crazy, showing that in a way, Laguerta lives on. Not one for any level of subtlety, there will be a Michael C. Hall narration to explain all this to us.

This is why I don't mind the Masuka sideplot, while hating the Quinn one. I like Masuka, he's been the only consistently entertaining part of this show for the past eight years. I want to see him get a happy ending, with family that cares about him.

They hinted at Dexter having relations with multiple women and showed at least one in the season premiere. Suddenly, he's a stuttering virgin to the simplest of questions and has forgotten how hard dating is.

They're trying to close Matsuka's "arc" by having him learn to respect women through getting to know one on a level other than leering at her. The execution isn't very good, but I can get behind the idea.

He'll probably still sleep with her. Then Dexter will sleep with Debra and Angel will come home drunk one night and sleep with Jamie who will think it's Quinn, and then all of the sudden the words SURPRISE INCEST MOTHERFUCKERS will flash epileptically across the screen then fade to black, roll credits. The after credits scene will be a really fat guy sitting on the Laquerta bench and it suddenly cracks in two while head Harry laughs standing behind it. Then he gives a thumbs up while jumping in the air as it freeze frames.

They really ought to have introduced and resolved side plots in the previous season(s) don't you think? This season surely ought to be about the net closing in on Dexter, which could involve the likes of Masuka, Quinn, etc in meaningful ways if the writers had a clue what they were doing. Even Deb's involvement in Dex's way of life feels completely weightless - and at this point the writers have essentially completely trivialised both the fact that he is a serial killer and the amount of work that was required to keep that abnormal lifestyle under wraps, and how it meant Dexter was a social misfit. Dexter post-Rita is the chillest guy you'd want to know, banging random chicks and being regarded as a great Dad in spite of apparently only seeing his son every other week. The writers don't know what they're doing - the notion that they've had this ending planned all along either means they are functionally retarded or lying.

This show is officially going to have the shittest climax that can be conceived. I know I'm being a spergy sperg here, but the climax for a story typically happens somewhere in the middle. Coincidentally, that was also when the show jumped the shark (Rita's death). The end of the story is all about the resolution with the tying up of loose ends and closing of story arcs. Not that they aren't spectacularly tanking at both of those concepts this season. They really should have had Angel or Quinn (or loving Matthews even) immediately picking up where LaGuerta left off. They had so much material to work with for either one of them, especially the Kyle Butler thing with Quinn. Instead it's almost like they're rebooting the show for the final season since almost no plotlines have carried over from 6 and 7.

sorry but I just caught up to the previous 2 episodes and there seriously were zero consequences, philosophically or practically, to Deb running the car into a lake and trying to kill her brother. There was not even like a hint that someone in Miami Metro might have found about it via, maybe, police hauling a car out of a lake. And the ending to the episode after that was just, gently caress how is this show so bad now

This could have been addressed at some point and I missed it even though I've been trying to read along with the thread as the season - but did they make major changes in lighting/cinematography of this show this season? Everything seems so softly lit and just strange and it really doesn't look all that great. Maybe I'm imagining things but it visuals just feel really different. I mean it's been written like a bad soap opera for a while now but lately it's starting to look like one too.

And the ending to the episode after that was just, gently caress I think it's kind of been assumed at this point that Deb or Dexter probably explained it away as a traffic accident. It looked like they were on kind of a back road, so I doubt there were any witnesses (beyond the fisherman who just saw the car hit the water). It would probably be pretty easy to just make some poo poo up that caused them to swerve and crash.

I figured that would have had some bearing later on, even if it was just brought up again between Dexter and Deb, but I guess it's just another go nowhere subplot.
