Pretty weird ep, right? Like why is that chick not tattling on Dexter? Just so she can study him? I thought she was a serial killer as well, because that'd be a pretty great way to end the series. But if that was the case she would meet Harry's code and she says she doesn't (I believe her).
One of my biggest frustrations with this show is that Dexter has killed at least 2 people that I can think of off the top my head that didn't meet the code. He admitted it at the time but he never really dealt with it, yet they still claim he sticks to it all the time. Oh well, I guess.

Way more than 2, right? Unless we're not counting body guards and drug dealers.
I think the only way for this series to end is him getting a lethal injection, with one last narrated moment of clarity.

Or Deb kills him.
-
She's probably the one that invented "the code" and consulted his dad in a science experiment type way.

Oh that sounds spot on actually. She was in Miami when Dexter was growing up, had access to the pictures he drew (how else would she have them if his dad hadn't given them to her?), knew "Harry's Code", and didn't turn him in. Seems so obvious now.
-
I just hope the story doesn't take a turn like what I hear the books did.
dark passenger was an alien parasite :don'tcare:
-
I'd be pretty pissed if that happened. But they've strayed from the books quite a bit. At one point in the book series I think Astrid become a serial killer, too.
-
She probably just thinks dexter has stuck to the code, even though he hasn't. She probably doesn't know he was behind laguerta dying (although deb was the killer)
-
Not getting caught is like rule #1 of the code, so I can see killing her as being rationalized by dexter.
-
The previews make it seem like she is trying to seduce Dexter; but maybe she is actually just nurturing his psychotic nature for her experiment.
-

Having read most of the spoilers, this guess is correct. She gave the code to Harry.

I won't be watching the final season. I regret not stopping after they wrapped up the Trinity story-line.

5 and 6 were bad but 7 was better than season 4.

Metalhead, what was your beef with the Trinity end? I liked that season.
Also, whatever you all posted really tiny, I can't read. :chainsaw:

I think he was implying that he didn't like the stuff AFTER season 4, not the ending of season 4.
Also, to read the tiny text, click quote on my post (its a spoiler).

It hasn't followed the books since Season 1. They aren't going to start now.
-
Thanks, Hemmy. That was a major spoiler and if it ends that way I will be pissed. (I read the first book. It was meh.)
-
Books? :sdeek:

Hemmy is correct. The beginning of the show, through the end of the Trinity story-line, is some of my favorite television ever. Maybe I'm being unrealistic, all series falter at some point. Even The Wire had a rough season (although it's rough seasons were miles better than most television).
In my opinion the quality of the show dropped significantly after season four. I'm not sure if that is attributable to laziness and complacency, turnover or running out of good material, but I have been disappointed in the show since the end of the Trinity story-line.
-
Woof. Did not care for the end of episode 4. I mean, if you've thought it out enough to act upon trying to kill someone, you are not going to change your mind after your plan is in motion, especially if you have to risk your own life to change it. And they better have a good explanation as to why Dexter can have feelings unlike that dude who almost killed his dad, and any other psychopath for that matter.
-
I don't even care anymore, I'm thinking about just watching the last 2 episodes to find out who dies and/or goes to jail. Once Breaking Bad starts up I doubt I'll even remember to watch Dexter.
-
Deb can EABOD. She killed LaGuerta, we all thought about it...
-
I'm pretty sure Dr. Vogel is the brain surgeon, but there is a time when she's alone and receives a text from the supposed brain surgeon. Could be a text from someone she was forcing to commit the murders for her? (the song she was listening to when Yates came and kidnapped her was the same on camera when the other dude was killing for the real brain surgeon). Dunno, doesn't really feel like a final season so far. Maybe the second half will be crazy. Also I think the series finale of Dexter and Breaking Bad will air within a week of each other.

So why is she having Dexter look for the killer? Just to observe him in action?

Maybe she gets off on it? Maybe she wants all of her clients killed before she retires/gives up on her career/she realizes all the monsters she created and wants them gone? It could be similar to the season 6 killer, which is really lazy and sad, but lets' not forget it's Dexter we're talking about.
-
I almost thought Dexter was going to kill Dr. Vogel at the end of the episode last night when they were on the boat. Because when he was listening to her talk to Yates he realized how she has been manipulating him all along with everything she says.
-
Last night's episode was super boring. I agree with Stevesie's inkling that we haven't seen the worst of Vogel yet, but, like last season, they killed off the main killer mid-season. I hate that. Maybe I'm just a sucker for the traditional mountain structure of a story, but it's dumb.
-
So...............time warner has removed Showtime because of their spat with CBS. Lets hope that doesn't last long.
-
This show is screwed now that it has to follow up Breaking Bad for every remaining episode.
-
Everyone seemed to agree that last week's episode was pretty great. I thought last night's was good too, at least interesting, but apparently I'm one of the few in that regard. I think everyone, the cast and crew of this show included, is glad that this is the final season.
-
I wasn't a fan of yesterday's episode but the previews of the last 3 episodes have some potential. Hopefully they don't just ride off into the sunset though that would be a beyond Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) ending.
-
Yeah, I feel like we're limping to a finish here.
-
What a joke this season is. It was so bad I read the spoilers that leaked, and it appears they are real. Saxon kills Deb, Dexter loses dark passenger
-
Yeah, this season has been pretty terrible so far, honestly. The "twist" last week, where it turned out that the brain surgeon was Dr. Vogel's long lost son, is incredibly lame.

:Yuck:
-
Not sure I can put another two hours into this piece of crap.
-
It was fine until Hannah showed up....which guess what? The exact same thing happened in Season 7. Not sure who thought it would be a good idea to bring her back.
-

That's just the thing. I don't know how the producers thought that "The Brain Surgeon" or Hannah are/were good enough characters to end the series with. I think the Brain Surgeon might be the worst villain yet. And Hannah is a decent character, but she makes Dexter a worse, less like-able character. While some shows (Breaking Bad) seem to be exploding to the finish line, Dexter is crawling down the last straightaway.
-

Yeah, I watch it so reluctantly each week. The narration is so over the top now. It's like they assume blind people are watching this show so Dexter has to explain everything that's going on.
-
I'm usually on board long after Gooch thinks the show has gone to crap (i.e. True Blood), but I have to admit that this Sunday as I was watching I was thinking "I wish this would get over so I can go to bed."

:lol: :facepalm:
-
did the writers for this show even know that there was 2 episodes left when they wrote this one?
:Yuck:
-
What a piece of crap this is turning into.
-
There is no way Dexter can still be this rough ridin' stupid. I mean how many times do he have to make the same stupid ass mistake to realize that's a bad idea? Its so obvious how its going to end and I hate it.
-
i stopped near the end of season 1 after i realized i was bored to death.
-
Plotholes everywhere. All season long, but now it's really obvious and sloppy.
"I can't kill Saxon, I'll just turn him over to the police" (despite Saxon knowing all about what Dexter does)
"Here you go Deb, I captured Saxon for you. This isn't suspicious with Saxon tied up and my knives sitting there"
-
Also Deb is just giving Hannah a ride to the hotel and then sitting in the car chit chatting with her. She knows Elway and the Deputy Marshall are on to her - maybe she should try to minimize the amount of time she could be seen with Hannah?
-
The marshall was too busy untying the most wanted man in Florida whose face has been all over the news.
-

Well that's unfortunate because there is still ton's of great episodes ahead. Nobody is forcing you to watch season 8.
-
This show should end with Dex getting a lethal injection and no way else. So pissed.
-
they really mumped themselves when they had the best villain half way though the series. trinity would have made a great "final" boss.
-
No one seems happier about Dexter ending than the staff of the show. They are idiots for scheduling their series finale any near the Breaking Bad series finale.
-

If they switched seasons 4 and 8, the show would be 100x better. No one actually thinks Dexter is going to Argentina, right?

This entire season has been one big pile of crap. So disappointing.

I liked Vogel's character. The rest of this season has been horrible though.

The only way this show can redeem itself.

Woah.
-
:lol:
-
Ugh. It could have been worse, but that is not at all how I wanted it to end. I wanted Dexter to get caught. (It was clear from about episode 5 or 6 this season that wasn't happening but I still wanted it)
Also - eff you Scott Buck. I hate you.

http://www.eonline.com/news/461558/chills-former-dexter-producer-clyde-phillips-reveals-how-he-planned-to-end-the-series?cmpid=sn-000000-twitterfeed-365-kristin&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=twitterfeed_kristin&dlvrit=51396
this is why dexter should have stopped after trinity... lost their good writer apparently.
"In the very last scene of the series," Philips explained, "Dexter wakes up. And everybody is going to think, 'Oh, it was a dream.' And then the camera pulls back and back and back and then we realize, 'No, it's not a dream.' Dexter's opening his eyes and he's on the execution table at the Florida Penitentiary. They're just starting to administer the drugs and he looks out through the window to the observation gallery.
"And in the gallery are all the people that Dexter killed—including the Trinity Killer and the Ice Truck Killer (his brother Rudy), LaGuerta who he was responsible killing, Doakes who he's arguably responsible for, Rita, who he's arguably responsible for, Lila. All the big deaths, and also whoever the weekly episodic kills were. They are all there.
"That's what I envisioned for the ending of Dexter. That everything we've seen over the past eight seasons has happened in the several seconds from the time they start Dexter's execution to the time they finish the execution and he dies. Literally, his life flashed before his eyes as he was about to die. I think it would have been a great, epic, very satisfying conclusion."
-
That would have been a great ending.
-
Deb becomes a potato and Dexter abandons his son. What a shitty ending.
I thought the last few episodes were supposed to be about Dexter losing his dark passenger, now all of a sudden it's "I will never be cured, I need to go live in solitude"
Not that I'm surprised it sucked given the last 3 seasons, but there are a thousand ways it could have ended better.
-
It's shameful how hard the writers butchered the end of this series. Very disappointing to say the least.
