I think he has to die.  It's really the only way.  I don't see him going to jail, and I don't see the show ending with a "and he lived happily killing ever after" story.  Unless he flees to Europe before everyone in America realizes who he is and starts a new career there.

 

The thing they could do, which could make SOME sense but is predictable, is have Deb in the end kill Dexter, and then she raises his son, only to find out that since his son witnessed his mother's death and all that like Dexter, he has the same tendancies.  Deb is then the teacher, much like Harry, and realizes the purpose of teaching a code to Harrison.   I wouldn't be surprised at this.

 

I'd really like him to be exposed though, on a national level.  Exposed as the bay harber butcher, etc, and becomes famous.   We'll see but I'm glad it's the last season.  I hope they do it right, 8 seasons in, it deserves that.

I don't want Dexter to die out of sheer attachment to the character and out of the slim hope that even with this being the last season they'd be open to do more later if everyone involved got back on board. Now I'll admit that is probably a terrible idea because it is hard to get closure that way but I don't want closure closure closure I want Dexter. Dexter still is and will likely remain the best TV show I've seen, it is sad this will be the final season.

A. Agree

 

B. Exactly how I see the show ending actually

 

Either way it should be a wild last season watching his life unravel, and somewhere Hannah must play a big role as well since they made a point to emphasize the plant in the trailer....

I hope Dex actually kills Deb early in the season and then they spend the rest of the episodes on following Dexter as he goes on a nationwide killing spree that tours all of the towns featured in HBO series.  I mean who doesn't want to see him kill Sookie Stackhouse?

 

 

 

 

The show hasn't been great in a couple of seasons and although Ill watch it for the sake of completeness I dont hold out much hope that they are going to salvage some amazing ending.

Last amazing season was 4 I believe, with Lithgow.  The worst was the Stiles season.  It's a good show mostly, but season 1 and 4 were special, too bad they lost the magic here and there.

That's pretty much exactly what I want too. There's way too much potential in all of his friends and coworkers finding out that they were working with a killer who manipulated them for years for them not to expose him.Sadly I don't think it's going to happen though. From everything I've seen about this season involving set photos and such it just seems like the same old status quo.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
