:roll: Wow
Although he spells it Kwyjibo on the show. I have a full head of hair too. Really.
God damn Hannah is gorgeous. I just want to see Dex sail away with her now and her not die :lol but I don't see this one ending on a positive note. At least there's more of her though which is a huge plus.

I'm pretty sure these are the same ones that were posted on reddit.
I used to look forward to watching this on Sunday nights. Now I'm at the point where I don't even think about the new episodes until several days after they originally aired.
The series finale is on Sep 22 and will go head-to-head with Breaking Bad's "52". You know, the episode where Walt comes back to Albuquerque with the M-60 in the trunk.
Plus, Bears vs Steelers on SNF.:rockon:

Jesus!!
There's that many more episodes left?!?!
I even seem to still enjoy it more than most but it's really beginning to drag. They need to tie whatever bow on it they plan to and be done.
Damn this show took a dive.....
seems like they are just phoning it in at this point.

I should have done the same. Not only did the show dived, it splattered. Besides Deb's ending, which I was really sad about, the rest was completely horseshit. :facepalm
Based on the first season, never would I thought this show will end this way. But the good news is that it's final over.

That wasn't very good. Lumberjack Dexter was terrible. I wasn't gonna like the Dexter & Hannah vanish to South America. But somehow they managed to find something I disliked more.
The thing I am more upset about than anything is the type of potential a series like this had for a final season and especially final episode when you thought about it around season 3 or 4. To compare, it had Shaq type potential IMO....but ended up being Kwame Brown.
I enjoyed the ride though. One of my favorite shows, but mostly for what it brought in the first half.

I wrote this in another thread:
The show should have at least ended with Dexter dying in the ocean with Deb. Then, a few years down the line when Harrison becomes a teenager, he (Harrison) is hanging around in the forest, mutilating an small animal. He is fascinated by the blood, and then looks at the camera with a Dexter like smile. Cue the credits.
I would have accepted that instead of the bullshit we got.
**** me, that was pretty bad.
Pretty bad? You're being too kind. I'm still lost at how terrible this show ended. Who wrote this DonDadda? :lol
Series should have ended with the Trinity killer. Rita death, deb finding out who Dexter was and an ending is what should have took place. After that season this show has been so spotty. This season was a joke and the ending wow.
How did he survive driving into the storm? Swam back? Never mind don't even attempt to explain.

I agree. The Trinity Killer season was so good. And it followed a couple lesser seasons in my mind. It was like the perfect bounce back.
One of the issues to me was that each season had it's moments, that made it just good enough to not give up. For me this season was those first few weeks when Deb was breaking down. She was great.
I was fully expecting Dex, Hannah, and the kid to run off to Brazil. Deb dieing was sort of their stab at shock value, but it didn't help anything. I don't think Dex needed to die for it to work. I was sort of hoping for a Dex and Hannah realize they can't control their urges, and decide to go, but have to leave the kid with Deb thing. Or maybe have Deb have the chance to arrest Vogel, but instead she kills him out of rage, and after Dex takes off, have her realize she's got the drive in her too. Imply that maybe Harry had something off kilter in him, and that he somehow subconciously nurtured it down to them over the years, just more overtly to Dex. That would've tied Harry into the ending too. Something. Almost anything would've been better than what we got.
It's still better than Ray Donovan.
Btw, I don't think you guys know, but the lead writer left the show after Season 4. Tells us a lot of how things fell apart fast... :ohwell:
I don't know which finale was worse between this and the Newsroom season 2 ending. I would still go with Newsroom but Dexter tried pretty hard to beat it.
Just watched the final episode and I have to say.. F*ck this show.
[QUOTE=KyleKong]Did you choose what city your going to in the States yet?[/QUOTE]
Yeah man, it's pretty much decided we're going to New York and Washington, just waiting for a good moment to buy cheap tickets.
[QUOTE=KyleKong]I'm assuming D.C.? Because you will have a blast sight seeing and shit.
Prepair to be overwhelmed on what to do in N.Y.C. also, their hotel rooms are probably smaller than the bed you sleep on right now haha.[/QUOTE]
Yeah D.C., I've looked into quite a lot of things already and I'm really excited finally go to the states :cheers:
Another thing that is overwhelming me is the prices of those hotelrooms, if you want to sleep anywhere near the centre it's pretty damn expensive. Thankfully this trip is a gift from my mother but it's still pretty shocking to see how expensive it actually is.

Read an interesting article the other day of an interview of the original guy from the first 4 seasons and what he would have proposed as the ending.
It was something like Dexter being on the verge of getting caught, and before everything to come to a head, the scene would cut to Dexter waking up.
Basically the audicence would think the whole show was a dream.
Then the table would zoom out and it would be Dexter laying on the executioner table, and the show was actually his whole life flashing before his eyes.

I've watched all of Ray Donovan this season. I just can't seem to get into it. Just an incredibly high volume of beating around the bush background story wise. Still completely unclear how he gets away with shit, or even what the hell he actually does. The Lian Neesan character I know people love, but its worn thin on me. As have both retard brothers, and now the wife. Too me it was just way more tough guy style than any substance.

Agreed.
Oviously late.. while I skipped parts of the 8th season because it was trash, I did want to finally see the last episode.... what kind of ****ing garbage was this? I kept myself somewhat updated to what happened before by reading reviews.. just tragic.
Here's some funny comments (AV Club)
[QUOTE]AN F I AM SO HAPPY
**** this show with something sharp.
"I've spent the last few season talking about how I want to be a good father and be there for my son. LOL PSYCH I WANNA BE A BEARDED LUMBERYARD WORKER"
[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]His son will be much better off with a fugitive who murders people when she gets frustrated with them.
Harrison will not survive his angsty teenage years. Harrison might have been already pushed into puberty by all that proximity with Yvonne Strahovski.
Harrison will be lucky to survive the week, when Hannah realizes Dexter's gone and she's stuck with a whinging brat.
This is a well thought out plan.
[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Calm before the storm, mutha-****a!
Just kidding, it was dumb as shit. I think the CGI backdrops of the storm were just rejected scenery shots from Myst.
[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]1. In the final hour, it all comes down to Saxon and Elway. Almost as good as Colin Hanks and Imaginary Adama.
2. Deb states the show's thesis: "No matter how much selfish shit you do, Dexter, nothing is ever your fault. You deserve to be happy."
3. Wanted serial killer Hannah, by the way, was recognized by the nurse when she took Harrison to the ER, but she can walk right through airport security and present fake documents without arousing any suspicion.
4. Dexter sends Harrison off into a hurricane on a bus with his serial killer girlfriend, so he won't have to do any parenting for the rest of the series.
5. Saxon, the subject of a manhunt, goes straight to the hospital, and is caught immediately.
This is the first time in several years that Miami Metro has caught a criminal.
6. There has to be an attempt at dramatic stuff, so Deb gets brain damage. Ghost Harry has returned to his home planet, so he can't show up to explain that we should feel sad. But now, Dexter will have Ghost Deb to tell him that he should do whatever he wants all the time.
7. Professional bounty-hunter Elway finds Hannah, but lets her stick him with a horse tranquilizer and escape.
8. Dexter kills a handcuffed Saxon in a police interrogation room. But it's okay, because in Florida, this is self-defense. Also, the interrogation room has a video camera, but no audio.
9. Dexter goes into the hospital, kills Deb, wheels her body out of the hospital on a gurney and carries her onto a boat, because nobody in Dexter's Miami pays attention to anything, and also, the hospital has boat parking.
10. On the boat in the hurricane, Dexter decides to abandon his parental responsibilities once and for all. He throws his cell phone in the ocean. Then, he throws Deb in the ocean
11. There are probably a lot of people who would like to mourn Deb, and she is entitled to a police funeral with full honors, but Dexter just throws her in the ocean, because he doesn't give a shit about anybody.
I'm sure they'll do something nice for Deb anyway. Like name a bench after her. The Deb bench next to the Laguerta bench, with Angel and Quinn sitting on the benches and crying, realizing how ****ing awful they are.
Dexter, meanwhile, will have the state of Florida renamed after him, the amazing human being he is.
Then, he drives his boat into the hurricane, because this is the responsible thing for the sole surviving parent of a small child to do.
12. Dexter is not actually dead! He just pretended to die so he could ditch his girlfriend and never have to see his son again! He is now a trucker, apparently.
[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Stealing Debs body and dumping it in the ocean is just ****ed up. Why would he even do that?
Felt like it was supposed to be some symbolic thing about his victims/how he has hurt his family/saying goodbye the only way he knows how.
**** it, it was just dumb.
He's basically honoring her the same way he honors people he decided deserve to die. How appropriate and respectful![/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]When Dexter has Deb's body in the boat (headed toward the hurricane that is not creating any waves), and is about to pull the sheet off... I was really hoping it was going to be Doakes. And he was going to leap up and say:
"SURPRISE MOTHER****ER!"[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]This actually would have redeemed this piece of shit episode. It wouldn't have made sense, but none of this season has, so who cares?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]
"There is one happy ending here: Michael C. Hall and his ex-wife Jennifer Carpenter no longer have to spend long hours at work together, which must have been supremely awkward."
I kind of feel like the last two seasons were specifically calculated by the writers to make things as awkward as possible for Michael C Hall and Jennifer Carpenter.
Starting the "Deb is in love with Dexter" plot after they got divorced was just mean.[/QUOTE]
