The Pope 10 Posted June 19, 2013 I thought last season was great. Maybe the best since the second season. How do you think they are going to wrap it up considering that there is a spinoff in the plans. Dexter gets killed? Dexter goes to jail? Nothing happens to Dexter? And what character can pull off a spin off? Deb seems to be the most likely one, but she's way too emotional to take over as the family serial killer. So does the spinoff just follow her police career? What's your thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tikigods 76 Posted June 19, 2013 I thought Dexter has sucked for the last several seasons. It started with the whole Harrison angle. You could tell the writers had no idea what or where they were going with this story. It's going to end like season six of Lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tikigods 76 Posted June 19, 2013 I could go on and on why and how the writers completely fvcked this show up. I'm not going to waste a lot of time on it because it reminds me too much of what happened with Lost. It's sad to invest a lot of time into a good concept like Dexter only to watch writers take a brick of gold and turn it into a piece of sh1t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Moz 71 Posted June 19, 2013 Seasons 1 , 2 and 4 were the best. Last season wasn't as bad as some make it out to be - it was watchable unlike the Jimmy Smits season Since the spinoff thing has to fly - it cannot end with the DREAM angle so it's basically 1 of 3 things A. The most probable -- Dexter spends the last season learning how to stop killing and finally quits -- during the season of course he kills people and so forth but at the end he hangs up the knives. B. 2nd most likely - The hawt chick from Chuck comes back and at the end Kills Dexter and dumps his body the same way he has dumped all of his own victims -- then the Spinoff is about her C. the least likely is that Dexter ends up in Jail The spinoff really only works with that Chick from Chuck being who it's based on. Seriously do we need another cop show? So basing it on Deb is boring ---- Unless the spin off is really a flashback series to like when Dexter was in college or something that might be cool. This is the first season since prior to the 5th I have really wanted to watch the show to see how it ends. Of the main cast I only see Deb and Dex making it out and maybe that nutso chinaman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Blue 06 196 Posted June 19, 2013 I've really enjoyed watching the show, but it seems to have lost its' way a bit after about the 4th season. Last season was pretty decent though and I'm looking forward to seeing how it ends. Having said that, I have no interest in the spinoff. Other than Dexter, there is no character on that show that I really care that much about and I don't think that any of them are strong enough to carry their own series.

The matsuto might have possiblitlies, but again, it would be just another cop show. It would be great if they killed everyone off except Dexter and he moved to another city or catch him, but let him go because the last thing they want is another serial killer associated with the Miami PD. Dokes would be the other. But that's not really a spin off. Angel can't carry his own show. Quinn can die now as far as I'm concerned. Lundy would have been interesting.

OldMaid 2,135 Posted June 19, 2013 I would say 1 and 4 along with the Dexter / Dokes dialogue in the cabin from season 2. Season 2 is probably my favorite. I actually wouldn't have included the first season, but since it's what started the whole thing, I kinda feel I have to. I will also admit that last season wasn't THAT tragic, with the exception of the whole Deb is in with Dex angle. :puke: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CantTouchThis 23 Posted June 19, 2013 Season 4 was epic, by far the best killer in Trinity mainly because Lithgow portrayed it so perfectly. "You ######!" Best line from the show. Last season was solid, season's 5 and 6 sucked for the most part. I think it ends with Dexter dying and Deb continuing his legacy as the spinoff that I will not watch because I focking hate Deb.

The Moz 71 Posted June 19, 2013 Maybe they are going to introduce a new character this season for the spin off. I thin k Old Maid pretty much nailed it! The most successful spermoff would be for it to fast forward 20 years and have it be Harrison. I agree if it's what most people are saying -- that Dex dies and Deb basically picks up where he left off -- it might last 2 seasons and thats it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keeps his kid locked up in another apartment. Just give the kid up for adoption already. Or at least get a kid(s) with some personality. Those Kids are going into their 4th season, and can't even talk. Michelle from full house was saying "no way Jose" when the Olsen twins were barely 2.
