I had to brace myself for the shit that was to come, but even I couldn’t believe the clusterfuck of a finale they gave us. The entire episode felt like some schizo’s hallucination. I’m just glad I waited until this morning to watch it, because this would’ve killed my high from Breaking Bad the other night.
The use of 3D background for some fictional Miami hospital with a convenient dock where you didn’t need to log in, Deb being hauled off by a guy not in uniform and no one bats an eye. Her guards conveniently nowhere in sight. Dex kills someone and they don’t even advise counseling or any kind of procedural evaluation for what happened. Batista concerned over Dex’s mortality and not the fact that Deb’s body is strangely missing. I can understand Dex not leaving her in vegetative state, but tossing her in the ocean instead of a proper burial? WTF? What the fuck?
3D Hurricane, PS1 Final Fantasy VIII rendered backgrounds for Argentina, and lumberjack Dex in a fucking 3D deforested area that looked like something out of a mid-90s sci fi show on UPN. Are you fucking kidding me?
I re-watched the “Hello, Dexter Morgan” Trinity scene from S4, then re-watched the series finale. It really hit me, all at once, just how far the show fell.
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve felt this shallow and empty after a show/movie/game has ended.
There’s not much to say. You guys covered all the “why” “wtf” illogical bullshit and cheese moments that went on in this episode. I’d like to say this show went out with a bang, but it didn’t, it went out with a whimper.
Shame. Oh well. Breaking Bad finale next week, Always Sunny tomorrow, Mad Men started back up again I think with Hannibal being back soon…I have a lot of things to look forward to, and a lot of my other favorite shows are starting back up as well(gonna start watching Boardwalk Empire as well.) I have a lot to distract me from the POS that was this shows finale.
This last episode was basically what should have been a mid-season finale, posing as a legit series finale. The people who stuck around for this shit deserved better, I think. Deb dying? Lame as fuck. Saxon walking into a hospital full of cops in the most anti-climactic big bad arrest ever? Come on! Dexter killing him with a pen. Ugh!
If they were going to end it this way (or like, a totally different way preferably), they should have split the last season into two parts like Breaking Bad: Dexter season 8a, and Dexter season 8b.
No it’s the greatest bj you’ve ever had but before you orgasm, they stop and get ready to leave but you ask them to stay. For the rest of it they use all teeth and you’re in absolute pain every second and you ask them to leave, and they don’t until an hour later.
I feel supremely sad when I watch the actors try to shine this turd. They’re relatively innocent here (except for MCH). But my sadness doesn’t match my rage at the writers who seem wholly ignorant that they just shit out a turd:
Yeah, that would be so off-point. Better to engage us with thrilling, nail-biting plotlines like Quinn being made Sergeant, Quinn and Jamie’s romance, Masuka’s Daughter, and Elway. You know, things that tie into the main plot and with “Dexter’s personal Journey”.
Seriously? THE NERVE of this fucking guy to say Miami Metro finding out about Dexter would be off-point, when one of the MAIN problems with this show is subplots we don’t give a fuck about. Even during the good years. The Trinity season was brought down by Angel and Laguerta, for example.
Wow! How ballsy are you guys?! I mean, most writers would leave pointless plotlines and retarded, tumorous love arcs to earlier seasons, but you guys just put that shit right in the last season. The last 12 episodes you will ever shoot. Your last chance to say “fuck the haters, this show is awesome”. Your legacy. Your final wave to the fans. Gotta love those fans, huh? They wanted to see Dex’s world unravel, but no, that’s “predictable” and “non-interesting” to do for a final season in a show about a serial killer. Especially when you don’t need to have him get away with it because it’s a final season. HOW BORING, because there’s just no way on planet earth to make things different from the last few times he was in trouble.
You know, I was briefly wondering if Breaking Bad would suck as much as this show had it gone on for 8 seasons. Now I wonder if this show would suck just as much as it has even if it stopped at season 5 (a “new” season 5 with no Lumen). These writers suck because of their ignorance. I’m starting to believe it has very little to do with Showtime stretching Dexter out. They probably would have put out a garbage series finale just one season after 4.
I read the whole interview and I just love how patronizing and condescending they were about answering the questions. Injecting the belief that the interviewer- and by extension, the fans loved their vision and the scenes that were completely logically incongruent were simply woefully “misunderstood”, such as:
Oh but then why was her face plastered on every news outlet you fucktards? Why was the nurse capable of identifying her with 100% confidence to the US marshal who made it clear to Dex and Deb that he was vehemently hunting her down?
Are you guys telling me that fake people on a tv show are somehow more self aware than the actual writers who created these characters? Are these writers experiencing some kind of cognitive dissonance? Is this really life?
Something was just revealed to me: the ending to last week’s Breaking Bad episode “Granite State” was inspired in part by Kevin Cordasco, a kid with cancer who visited with the BB cast and said to Gilligan he always wanted to know more about Gray Matter. That ending was just fucking awesome. That’s when it hit me:
All of the Dexter writers need to get cancer.
By the way, Reddit is boxing Uproxx for the title of “the Akuma of Dexter hate.” Just take a look.
