Dexter. Ohh.

Good grief, I've been pretty busy. A lot of drama in my real life. A lot happening. I promise to post a catch-up sometime soon.

But for now...

I haven't been following Dexter recently, but I did tune in for the finale.

It's not that I thought the series was going to end with a happily ever after. But once Deb died, then I totally thought Dexter was going to die too. And then he just...didn't. I kind of felt like the fact that he was alive at the very very end seemed like a season finale, not a series finale? Maybe that just wasn't enough resolution for me.

[surreallis]

I totally thought that too. He seemed so final, by throwing the phone away and everything. I was thinking he would jump in after Deb's body and just float away. Which... wouldn't have been the best ending, but I would have been okay with it, I guess?

If they'd at least left it ambiguous, I feel like it would have been better. By showing him as a truck driver for a logging company it was kind of... I'm not even sure. It just kind of confused the point.

Unless she takes Harry's place, which... would be kind of awesome. "What are you doing, fuckface? Don't be an idiot!"

...I would watch that series.

Ahahaha. I imagine so many late night discussions. And she could be all: "Look, idiot, I have to go for a while. Lundy is taking me fishing. You're on your own for a few hours, so try not to kill anyone while I'm gone. Okay, fuckhead?"

Awww. The most excellent spinoff ever would be "Deb in Motherf**king Heaven".

the TV story has always been about the love story between Dex and Deb. So.

ITA. And to that end the finale was about he and Deb. IDK. I'm still torn. I always felt like he would get caught or die. Or something. So his final scenes were very anti-climatic, I guess?

Deb being the new Harry? Yeah, I'd watch that!

Ohhhh, I haven't been on my LJ in forever but popped in for something and saw this post and have to comment. HI YOU

[run_atreyu]

Haha, just realised I used my Gyllenhaal-cest icon unintentionally with this comment. Perfick.

[nereemac]

I don't know you, but I just wanted to add a giant +1 to this whole comment (except the incest bit, because that's a major squick for me, but each to his/her own).

I am so angry about Deb that I can't find the words to explain why. Thank you for doing it for me.

I don't get the ending of the series at all. I don't understand why Dexter had to have this epiphany of "I can't have a happy life like other people" and not the epiphany of "the last serial killer I should kill is myself." I'm all for unpredictable endings to TV shows, but Dexter becoming a truck driver for a logging company is just... utter crap.

I meant to reply to this, sorry! Just: yep. Yep to all of it. I'm trying to put the whole finale out of my mind but whenever someone mentions the show I just go straight to thoughts of Deb and what they did to her and ARGH. And a lumberjack? A LUMBERJACK?!?!
