Supposedly, yeah. After reading what the finale's about, I have a pretty good idea how the series will go in the last season. However, I've read that Showtime wants 2 more seasons but the writers don't want to

Well then I hope there aren't any then.

Tonight's episode was pretty cool. Very excited to see where the last two episodes of this season go.

I think it's getting a bit weird. He didn't kill the arson guy, because he realizes that he doesn't have to kill (despite the guy now being able to identify him) but then he decides to kill Ellsworth because the guy was a bad dad?

It sounds like Dex is just going to embrace being a random murderer at this point, not a fan of that idea.

At least we're past that "Dark Passenger" crap now, though.

Yea, but we also are past the code, which was what made Dex different than all the other people he killed. Now he's just a killer.


And I dunno, that seems pretty lame to me.

Ending the Ukrainian mob plot really killed the season IMO. There's almost nothing interesting left at this point.

Yeah I think this show has really gone down hill lately, the writing is inconsistent and the show is generally less interesting than it was before. It really seems like they're doing everything they possibly can to drag the series out as long as possible.

I don't know, I enjoyed it. Dexter's character is still developing where in Sunday's episode, he finally realizes there is no Dark Passenger and he is responsible. In an interview with the show-runner, he said Sunday's episode was the catapult that is going to eventually bring us to the end. I'm excited to see what happens next weekend.

The last 10 minutes were great. The rest of the episode was cool. The moment Dexter realized he'd been set-up. That was intense too.

Can't wait for the finale

Yea, the final should be really cool, especially since there is really no indication as to what could happen. And that's the opposite of the previous seasons.

Totally agree with that... the end of the episode was really exciting. Looks like we're in for a great finale.  :tup

Last night's episode was probably my favorite yet of this season. Very tricky move by Laguerta, and I'm surprised I didn't see it coming. Also, I've got a strong feeling that Deb knocked herself out in order to set Hannah up. Anyways, the finale should be great!

I agree 100%. I was extremely surprised to see LaGuerta attempt to set up Dexter.

Yea, I thought the ending was great. Although I don't like that Dex is acting so stupid recently.

Not the set up, no one could have seen that one coming.

But Deb? Pretty obvious she poisoned herself.

And Tits McGee? How could he set her up when she knows EVERYTHING? Just a bad move on his part.


I also have no idea why dex is so terrified of prison, I mean like he is MORTIFIED of prison. I have a feeling he'd be able to handle himself just fine there.

Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to next week's finale. Really surprised though that he just had Hannah arrested, given all she knows. I honestly hadn't thought of Deb intentionally overdosing herself, but I really like that idea.

Definitely possible... a friend of mine mentioned the same idea to me. It makes perfect sense.

Maybe... What I think that Dexter will come to the same conclusion, and somehow get her released because he loves (?) her. But then it will turn out that she really did "poison" Deb and Dexter will kill her. Or something completely different of course.

But Dex can't just get Hannah out. She didn't go in for poisoning Deb, she went in for killing that writer guy. Dex can't just pull her out, he's just a splatter analyst.

Maybe. The whole thing just screams major plot twist to me.. We've started out thinking Hannah did it, now we suspect Deb did it herself which we will be lead to believe throughout the episode. Only to make it clear that it was Hannah after all.

Anyway that's just my suspicion. I'm always wrong. :lol

I dunno, I thought Deb did it from the beginning.

Hell, I thought Deb did it since before the show ever started and Michael C. Hall was still doing Six Feet Under.

Yeah, I knew when she said, "I don't make mistakes" that it wasn't Hannah. Still, SPOILERS...   Isn't she cast for the last season? I would have normally expected her to die in this next episode a la pyromaniac chick, but this changes things

So I hadn't watched since episode 7, I caught up with the rest of you now. Surprise that Isaac was killed, he had become the most interesting part of the season and his interactions with Dexter since the gay bar were really really good!

Deb probably did poison herself and to Adami's point, yes Hannah knows everything, but so does Deb and Deb doesn't have the social stigma Hannah does so that may work against her. Plus, Deb is the Lt. of homicide.

Can Quinn go and die already?! I never liked his character but God does he get stupider and stupider with each season.

I don't like that Dexter realized there was no "Dark Passenger", means that he doesn't have to adhere to Harry's code which makes him just another killer which will mean his downfall.

LaGuerta's investigation, while right, became an obsession and something that (from Matthews POV or anyone else not named Dexter or Deb) makes no fucking sense so I enjoyed Matthews being the way he was with her. Also, I don't know how that will be handled but I'm intrigued, if Dex does kill her that will probably re-open the BHB case and Deb would have to go hunting for Dex which would be a pretty nice plot for the last season.

Jennifer Carpenter, I hope you get some award recognition because you have deserved it this year.

regarding Quinn, are they trying to see how high they can get his hair this season?  I swear each episode his hair is sticking up taller than the one before.

I can not wait for the eighth season!

Although I'm very curious how they'll cover up that particular characters death.

Me, too. Its the same questions I was asking myself after the season 6 finale.

The only thing that scares me about that finale was... we now could get a Deb/Dex relationship. Fuck! Loved all the flashbacks with Doakes!

And again, Jennifer Carpenter deserves some award recognition this year.

Interesting to note that now both Deb and Dexter have traumatic experiences involving shipping containers.

Just saw the episode. Needless to say, this season has been miles ahead of the last couple, and it ended very well. Those last 5 minutes really were quite intense. I loved the Doakes flashbacks as they did a great job of setting the tone for this particular episode. I was also glad to see Hannah get away and I'm interested to see what kind of role she plays in the final season. Finally, I really feel bad for Deb. There's no turning back now, and I can't wait to see how it all plays out.

Great finale, and even though Dexter kills La Guerta in the books, having Deb pull the trigger was very fitting given her character this past season.  This season has been almost as much about Deb as Dexter, and they pulled it off very well.

Overall, much better season than I expected given the dip over the past couple years.

Interesting tidbit:  The final scene was done the moment Deb pulled the trigger.  They kept the cameras going as Deb (unscripted) ran over to La Guerta.
