09.23.13 | Haven't watched since season 6 and can't be bothered, what was the ending? |
demigod!
09.23.13 | that new breaking bad tho |
Ignimbrite
09.23.13 | yeah why are we talking about Dexter when a new Breaking Bad episode just aired |
TAB
09.23.13 | spoilers: dexter decides not to kill the killer and calls deb to make an arrest, killer shoots her/she has a stroke becoming a vegetable. dexter stabs the killer in the middle of the police station on camera in 'self defense', baptisa and quin are just like whatever fuck it. he goes into the hospital and rips deb out of life support, carries her to his boat and dumps her in the middle of a hurricane. he fakes his death, hiding as a truck driver with a beard. he also gave his kid to a serial poisoner. |

09.23.13 | Show went super downhill after the fourth season. Episode got a straight F on the AV Club. Only one of those I've seen. |
Wadlez
09.23.13 | Just read the AV Club review... some of the comments there are awesome. |
Trebor.
09.23.13 | so glad I never got into this show |
Trebor.
09.23.13 | It sounds like a Lost level ending, except I've heard the last few seasons in general have sucked dick where as Lost still ruled hard up until the last 20 minutes or so of the last episode |
Wadlez
09.23.13 | Some people hated the Lost ending.. but this is on a complete other level of universal panning. Lost just had too many series length mysteries that they never intended on answering... the end of it instead attempted to resolve the fates of the characters opposed to answering every theory. Some were fine with it.. others weren't.. |
Trebor.
09.23.13 | nah the worst part wasn't them leaving stuff unanswered, it was because they said "welp all that really cool flash sideways stuff doesn't mean shit, it never happened, they're all in heaven, go fuck yourself"
Like goddamn the idea of showing two different timelines and what would happen differently in the other one was so cool |
Wadlez
09.23.13 | Yea season 6 wasn't what it could have been of course... I was disappointed though about the fate of John Locke... |
Trebor.
09.23.13 | That was pretty dumb too yeah
also the episode where the whole thing is just jacob and the man in black and fuckin alison janning was pretty lol too |
avonbarksdale221
09.23.13 | Show completely lost the plot after season 4. |
Wadlez
09.23.13 | I don't think LOST ending will ever rank near the top.. although with some people it still will.. But as an overall experience that show has its legacy as one of the greatest. You had to be a part of the community to realize it with all of the episode to episode theorizing.. It was a 24/7 community with some... Stuff like that gets "lost" pardon the pun with people who just binge watch the series after the fact now. |
Trebor.
09.23.13 | It's funny when fan theories about shows are way better than what the writers actually come up with
Good examples are Lost and The Matrix sequels
|
Wadlez
09.23.13 | 2007-2008.. I think 07 |
avonbarksdale221
09.23.13 | S4 was Trinity. That shit ruled. |
JizzInMyPants
09.23.13 | What the flying fu... YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
what kind of bullshit ending was tha... like....shit man season 7 was sooo fucking awesome, and here I was thinking they are going to make a comeback...
the boyfriend is the killer again? seriously?
Some psychologist comes out of nowhere and becomes the mother figure?
The final killer of the show is totally and utterly forgettable of and lets reveal him in the final 4 episodes of the show.
Hanna takes care of his son now? really?
Who the fuck cares if Deb dies?
That is how Dexter kills the final killer? seriously?
They really are going to end the show with the focus on Hanna and not on Dexter's past deeds?
Shit I wanted the whole department to flip out when they find out Dexter was the Bay Harbor Butcher but nooope.
The writers just didn't give a flying fuck. "Oh, I have a great idea, lets make Dexter a lumberjack!"
Did they fire all the writers of season 7? There was only 1 good episode of this season and it felt like a throwback to the early seasons.
Fuck it, well, bout to watch breaking bad now. |

09.23.13 | Worst ending to a show ever. Season 7 was the best season they did, and season 8 could have been soooo much better then it was. |
InFiction
09.23.13 | I agree, the ending as a whole was pretty underwhelming. I think S8 in its entirety was a sinking ship, so it pretty much only had one path to go down.
Disregarding so many plot-holes, it was decent, but could have been much better. It's actually kind of a shame that it wasn't hugely bad, because even that would have sparked more discussion. The way it ended leaves a lot to be desired to the point where it isn't really worth talking about. |

09.23.13 | "Season 7 was the best season they did"
Lol, what? The show has been going downhill since literally season 2.
Everything has just lost all grounding in reality since then. Sure, Trinity was a great villain so he redeemed season 4 a bit, but the actual plot-line behind dexter has just been off the rails since the early seasons, and by 7 it's just chaos. Maybe it was less shitty than 5 and 6, but it still wasn't good.
I do have to say for people like treb claiming they're "so glad I never got into this show", the show is a really interesting premise and the first few seasons are better than most television IMO. It just fuckin failed in its latter half. |
TMobotron
09.23.13 | "It's actually kind of a shame that it wasn't hugely bad, because even that would have sparked more discussion."
How is it not "hugely bad"? It's literally the worst ending to a good series I've seen by a mile, and that includes entourage. |
MeatSalad
09.23.13 | not even gonna bother watching, haven't enjoyed the show since S4. |
Cygnatti
09.23.13 | racer dee |
TAB
09.23.13 | But yeah dexters been pretty much a joke since the end of season 4. 5 was meh, i liked 6 on a so-bad-its-good level, 7 pissed me off but at least it had the punisher, and 8 overall was pretty awful. the season focused too much on a new character 'vogell' which seemed like bullshit because she hadn't been hinted to at all until season 8. the first half of it was mainly debra bitching at dexter to 'GETOUTINEVERWANNASEEUAGAINFUKK', than outta the fucking blue she goes chill. they should have introduced the killer much earlier in the season instead of dexter hunting down the wrong people the entire time. also the whole hanna mcay character arc, fucking retarded, season 7 shes a killer and dexter gets her put in jail, season 8 dexter decides he wants to marry her and live in argentina on the lam.... overall, only the first and forth seasons are worth a shit. |
EaglesBecomeVultures
09.23.13 | gave up on this show it's soooo terrible now |
Lelle
09.23.13 | I stopped watching after season 4. Seems like I made a good choice.
Season 1 and 2 rule tho' |
JizzInMyPants
09.23.13 | season 7 is up there with season 1,2,4 |
PayneTiger777
09.24.13 | Am I the only one that was satisfied with the ending?
SPOILER ALERT:
Dexter isn't supposed to have a happy ending and I'm glad they went that route. Everyone he loves will eventually die in the long run, so he made the right decision to leave Harrison and Hannah for good. Deb is the tragic character of the series and it was her death that made Dexter realize that he needs to be alone for the rest of his life.
Season 8 may have had it's many flaws, but I think they ended it the right way. I'm just glad they didn't end it like Dark Knight Rises. |
bakkermaarten007
09.24.13 | They decapitated whatever greatness was still left. Very very sad. The writers ought to have made only 5 seasons and maybe then it could have ended the way it should have. |
MosesMalone
09.24.13 | Apparently the hint for next week's breaking bad is "woodworker" so I expect it to end in the exact same way. |
bakkermaarten007
09.24.13 | They should arrange a meeting between Dexter and Walt to finally decide who'd win. They could throw
logs at each other. |
MosesMalone
09.24.13 | But dexter isn't a killer anymore so Walt's gonna win out. |
