Dexter (Final) Season 8

Yeah, Doakes was awesome.

I hated Doakes.

I watched this last night and all I could think of was how bad and lazy the writing has gotten on this show. It used to be interesting and awesome but as time goes by its slowly becoming a echo of what it once was. I think this show really started losing itself years ago when they took a sociopath and forced him to have feelings. If they left him as he was in the first season I think it would still be an awesome show. Now we're at the point where all those bad decisions are compounding as they attempt to close it all up. I also think the show suffers from a surplus of characters which is why we're treated to stupid storylines like masuka having a kid. I don't care much about masuka, nor Quinn's which woman should I be with soap opera crap.

I disagree.

Dexter still rocks!

I want to see more Michael C. Hall. Is it worth watching Six Feet Under?

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Good god was last night's episode lame. I have watched every episode of every season of this show, but at this point, so close to the finish line, I'm seriously contemplating abandoning it. The writing is so lazy, and it feels like the creators of the show don't even care what happens. It feels like someone putting out a campfire - they are systematically crushing out all the things that made the show interesting. I think the long-standing drop in the show's quality over the last 3 seasons is even more annoying than what happened to Entourage, because at its best Dexter has been such a fine and interesting watch. Now it's just a horrible, self-indulgent soap opera.

I liked this last episode in comparison to the rest of the season. The Deb vs Dexter thing was pretty old they really needed to work together...

Cassie isn't too bad looking either, but I still like Hannah better <3

Bah, I was really digging this season until last nights' episode. It just felt so silly. I mean I like what's her face, but come on...

To me this has been Deb's strongest season. I usually can't stand her, but I really thought her character and even her acting was far more interesting this season.

Only, what, five more episodes?

I have liked the season so far. The episode last night was meh.

I don't like the apprentice he chose. The guy seems unstable.

Yeah, can't say I'm a huge fan of that entire storyline.

I forgot there was an episode last night. The show has been going downhill for a little while now, and this season is really not up to par.

Eh, I liked the first five episodes or so. They were not amazing, but I enjoyed them. It seems to have taken an extra crappy turn now though. :\

I thought it was a very uneventful start, can't imagine what happened last night lol. I'll probably watch it tonight

This. I had zero problem with all of the episodes this season, until last night's which was somewhat underwhelming. Well except for the ending. I'm pretty excited for that.

 

[Krazy4Real]

I hope Debra doesn't kill Hannah. She's good eye candy.

Maybe Dexter and Hannah will just sail away in the end.

If I have not been watching this show for the past several years I would bail. This season is HORRIBLE. It makes me worry that the ending will be so bad it could reason the entire series as a whole. I have liked most of the other seasons except the one with the religious fanatic.

Too many dumb storylines this season. I can care less about Quinn, Dexters apprentice, or Deb's love storyline. There are only 5 episodes left. Dexter should already be in serious trouble with the law or being found out somehow.

This last season has been SO uninspired and just . . . meh. Even the most "climactic" scenes feel humdrum.

Meanwhile, Breaking Bad is continuing to raise the bar higher than any serialized drama, ever, and airing the most exciting and compelling final season in TV history. I found it mystifying when in a poll about a year ago - http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2258091 - there were people picking Dexter over Breaking Bad, and it's even more inexplicable now. The best season of Dexter (clearly the Trinity season) was still light years behind any season of BB.

So, who is the serial brain surgeon?

So, who is the serial brain surgeon?

yeah good question, that kinda got me off guard. It's weird that it gets reintroduced now, unless there's some kind of plot twist coming.

 

[pyonir]

So, who is the serial brain surgeon?

Quinn.

 

[Gunslinger08]

So, who is the serial brain surgeon?

Oliver. I have a feeling he is Vogel's son.

You might be right. I just read some comments on IMDB.

I hope so. None of this kill Dexter shit, should end with him going off into the night. Leave it open ended for everyone to think about.

And damnit

Spoiler

Why did they kill Zach just as I started to like him? Seriously up until this last episode I didn't care for him, then Sunday's had me going "hey, he's pretty cool" *WACK*

He was comic relief for a little bit.

Not sure why this has to be a Dexter vs Break Bad thing anyways. I love having a handful of shows to watch each week and enjoy them on their own merit. I'm glad that Dexter has given 8 years.
