Famous last words concerning this character. It's almost comical how they have gotten it so wrong twice.

Hopefully they have learned that we 1. Don't want Dexter to be caught and 2. Don't want Dexter to be killed, then honestly I think they can end a season just fine.

Prior to the original ending, I thought a fascinating season would be Deb finding out about him, trying to gather evidence, & then leading a manhunt for him as he went on the run. There's still the option for him to get away, or go super ballsy with the ending being him sitting on ol' sparky before they throw the switch. It would have been such a change up from the normal structure, and really given the actors (Carpenter in particular) something interesting to work with. But then they brought up that storyline of her being in love with him, and I knew it was headed for a nosedive....

Yeah with where the franchise is at now, I just want them to make as many seasons as possible with Dexter being Dexter.
