Dexter addiction also in my household :)

pasilip silip nga lang ako, reminds me of Death Note too much kasi hehe, then I remember the Battle Royale vs. Hunger Games debates

But I noticed lang, kahit putol putol panunuod, kahit hindi sunod sunod ang episodes eh I find myself still watching/hooked sa current episode that they are watching.

I feel every episode is good as stand alone.

my 2 cs on Dexter. :)

Nagsimula na pala ang final season.

I almost missed it, maybe because I'm not looking forward to it that much anymore.

First episode is pretty good, hope the series ends on a strong note!

For someone who's been the paragon of methodical restraint and discipline for 8 seasons, I just find it hard to believe that Dexter would all of a sudden be so careless, so sloppy, all in one day.

Too neat a wrap-up, methinks. Although yeah, no season finale will ever please a show's entire universe of fans.

Still... I'm pissed >:( >:( >:(

Going 3D, at last! (And I don't care it it's a fad.)

Kaya naging careless si Dex simply because na in love na. Clouded na judgement. I kinda like the ending. To be continued somewhere else!

A very depressing and unfulfilling ending. Death in the storm was more fitting. The producers felt if he died or got arrested, it would be too predicable. That's then problem when the suits mess it up for the writers. I guess, they wanted options for the future. I propose he teams up with Walter White.

That would have been a fitting ending. To push it a bit, Dexter is bound on a table with plastic just like his victims. Around him are photos of his kills. Close up on his face as he draws a blank stare as life is snuffed out of him. Fade to black.

^ Kaya lang puro bad and serial killers ang pinapatay ni Dex. So hindi bagay sa kanya yung ganyang setting.
How I wish pumunta na lang sya dito sa Pinas to continue his killings but instead of targeting serial killers, patayin nya mga corrupt officials.

They should have used the alternate ending :

http://www.google.com.ph/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=11&cad=rja&ved=0CHAQFjAK&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalspy.com%2Ftv%2Fs64%2Fdexter%2Fnews%2Fa517677%2Fdexter-final-episode-alternate-ending-revealed-by-ex-showrunner.html&ei=O8ZEUoPPJcPUigfy5YGYDQ&usg=AFQjCNEwn9BVajFQ1JYK9vzxRHdJUDhBGw&bvm=bv.53217764,d.aGc

A more fitting ending indeed. But I don't think it would've saved the dismal final season. Parang matagal nang napabayaan ng mga writers/showrunners ang show, that's why they were stuck with such a sucky ending.

I was willing to give the final season a chance early on, but the showrunners kept diffusing the tension with so much filler and so many forgettable/disposable characters. I was expecting the tension/plot to escalate around mid-season, but at around ep.9, they still wanted you to care about Masuka's hot daughter or Quinn's feelings.

And in the penultimate episode, Dexter suddenly plays idiot ball, which leads to Deb (the only other character I still care about) dying a mostly offscreen death in the finale... Mega turkey  :-[

The original writer left after Season 4. That is why Dexter fell flat.

Of all the problems of the series finale, I hated most that Dexter thought that Deb deserves to be put in the ocean along with his other kills. Also, who else was waiting for a TDKR-like ending, waiting for him to show up on that cafe?  ;D

Some time during the life of the show the writer/s changed. I cannot remember where but the plot lines went dry. But still this remains to be on my list of classics.
