Everybody, calm the HELL down, the Dexter series finale WASN'T THAT BAD. Was it perfect? No. But I still found it pretty good and an extremely emotional goodbye. Seeing Dexter lose everything and enforcing the ultimate punishment on himself by cutting himself off from all of his friends and family, AND being forced to end his sister's suffering. When I originally saw it, i really liked it, but the more I think about it, the more I really, really love it.
No. It was bad. Just as bad as people say. Deb goes into a coma?? A COMA?? What type of midday soap opera move was that?? She's perfectly fine and dandy, then boom, coma. Then Dexter decides to pull her plug and jump into a hurricane? People say Pa Kent's death was dumb in MOS, this is much, much worse. And finally, after somehow surviving the storm, he up and leaves his child, the only thing he claimed to love in the world with a serial killer who has pretty much to ties to Harrison or no reason to raise him, to become a lumberjack? They already had the perfect ending, all bad guys were defeated, Dex and Hannah were happy and going to Argentina, Deb was finally, after going through struggle after struggle in a place she could be happy, with Quinn. THEY HAD THE ENDING. But no, they had to mess it up.
And yes, I know, I know, it's trying to reinforce the idea that Dexter can't have a normal life, that would be all good, if it wasn't going against everything that has already happened in the series. Dexter had proved time and time again he COULD control his "Dark Passenger" that he can fight the overwhelming urge to kill and live a normal life, he was a good father to Harrison, a good brother, a good friend and a good spouse, but no, the show wants to go for shock value and cram that nonsense down our throats. As someone who loved the first four seasons of Dexter, seeing it get progressively worse then end on that note made me quite upset.
