The ending was brutal. This entire season was awful. I could go into detail but suffice to say that the retcon of several very key points destroys this series in a way that I've never seen in a major TV series before. It felt like they started with the ending and did whatever they had to do with whatever implausible points were necessary to bearing us to the last 10 very hurried minutes. It also had the feel that it was written for 12 episodes and edited or crammed into 10. Waited 10 years for a repair of what's overwhelmingly known to be a botched finale and the OG finale looks like a masterpiece in comparison.

Thanks. I watched the 1st episode and never got back to it. The change of scenery was the only thing it had going for it, from what I could tell. And that's not enough.

I’ve watched this show’s every season at least 5 times and this was just the worst, most horrific ending. What a piece of shit.

How long do we have to wait before talking about the issues with this season without fear of spoilers?

I avoided this thread today bc I knew it’d tip off what happened.

If somebody clicks on a dexter thread expecting it to be weeks behind, they can fuck off.

That was just the worst. Holy shit what an awful finale. That’s an embarrassment for all involved, many of whom made dexter a fucking lumberjack who went into a hurricane in a 27’ speed boat.

Ok so BHB used M99 not Ketamine and that was never a focus of the bhb investigation so for Angela to connect Jim with BHB based on a Google search is next to impossible. Also, the wheal marks could not be caused by an intramuscular or intravenous injection, only an intradermal injection. Now you're gonna show me an aging man behind bars make a real move on a fit young wrestling coach cop? Cmon man.
Also, batista was Dexter's friend, wouldn't be so keen to drive a nail into his coffin and as dexter didn't kill laguerta and the killing didn't fit any profile dexter used (gunshot) there'd be nothing to connect him to leagurta so why would be just grab the file and hop on the next plane and why would he assume any connection with dexter and laguerta? So one second, dexter fears being extradited to fla because of the death penalty but then begs Harrison to kill him 30 seconds later. Ok. Oh, as for batista, how did the writers miss an opportunity to have him and dexter face to face?
The series felt rushed and retconned.

Spot on.

Batista even publicly and aggressively sided with dexter over his ex-wife. It makes no sense he’s sitting on a folder of leads just waiting for galaxy-brain small town PD to contact him.

His son - who by the way, was horribly cast, and extremely uninteresting- then makes his decision inside of 30 seconds? Based on affection for his wrestling coach over his father?

Just dumb. The whole thing was an abortion. They should’ve left Dexter in the PNW chopping logs.

I hated the Son too.

Dex and Bautista reunion would have been awesome. But they flaked out.
