Dexter New Blood Ending Explained | Episode 10 Recap

Love it or hate it they gave us an ending. I was a little surprised that they stuck to their guns and did what they came back to do. They really wrote Dexter's final chapter. I had a good time covering the season, thanks for watching!

We can accept the ending if it makes sense. What I found most off is that Dexter doesn't need to kill Logan. It is just not like him. I wish there should be an additional episode when Dex and Angel reunite. I believe that the Miami Dex will make much more effort to get away with this.

Hey yea lets just make another season to fix the ending ... oh wait hes dead lol

[@VirtualBilly]

When Chief Bishop was questioning him, Dexter should have said, “some trucker gave that screw to Harrison to give to me. I didn’t even know why.” She could have verified that by questioning Harrison, and her weak reasons for thinking she could charge Dexter with Matt’s murder would’ve fallen through.

[@1243fad]

I forgot about that…that would’ve been more than enough for reasonable doubt

[@SheevTalks]

She would have still questioned why Kurt would try to set Dexter up, if not because Dexter killed his son. Either way, the evidence that he killed Matt was already going to fall through, but she was already building a much stronger case that he was the Bay harbor Butcher, so the end result would have been the same

[@donnatemple1999]

But that trucker is dead too. You can't put a 100% weight on a son's testimony after that.

[@MIGHTYBOOSCH198]

He couldn't prove that though and it doesn't really matter, she knew her case was weak on the Matt murder. That's why she called Batista, they had a really solid case that he was the butcher and that's even before Batistia came in with his Laguerta file.

[@roseyp7047]

@@SheevTalks She built a strong case that he was the bay harbor butcher based off a few searches on the police data base that showed the bay harbor butcher’s victims with a wheel mark on their next just like the drug dealer and the fact that Dexter purchased ketamine for his goat which happed to be in the drug dealer’s system? Oh and Batista’s 15 yr old case files that he himself referred to as “crazy theories” C’mon, that’s enough to raise suspicion within the police force and with those who know him, not enough for a jury to convict him. I don’t even think it would be enough to go to trial. I get where they were trying to go but they lost me when Dexter ( completely unprovoked and out of character) kills Logan and obviously what happens after that is just absurd.

[@lalt1987]

Angela's evidence was weak and we never got to see Batistas evidence. This show needed at least 2 more episodes. Batista needed to confront Dext with his evidence and maybe then he could kill Logan out of desperation. But the evidence the show was weak and Dex knew it

[@beaver6d9]

The issue is not so much that he died, but more of how they raced to the ending, blowing past what could've been really interesting stuff story and plot wise. I guess I expected another season because there was no way to wrap up everything in the time left satisfactorily.

[@kmiller36]

I agree, it was abrupt

[@jose-gr7jg]

Yeah I agree, it makes sense the ending but it needed more devolpment. They lost the opportunity of Batista confronting Dexter

[@johanzo88]

Yeah as soon as he killed logan at that point i knew the ending is going to be a messy one, i knew they had to do something either kill dexter or send him to prison but the way they got there was a bit forced and rushed

[@littlem1001]

Agreed. If you’re gonna kill him at least make a second season to make sure you cover everything and do it right

[@keenanmoore264]

Dexters story about how Kurt wanted revenge was such a good explanation and I think it would have worked out had he let it. The killing of Logan to escape prison felt so out of character to me. The episode was a steep downhill after that moment.

[@saadali771]

Exactly. He was still gonna get out Bay Harbor Butcher Case. Because it was not that strong. He never escape like this until his hands are tied. But yes that escape and killing of logan was really put of the character.

[@muhacnt7988]

Abrupt Rushed ending

[@trippy5519]

The killing of Logan showed dexters true colors. He’s a psychopathic killer, and usually only kills “bad people” because his father drilled it into him. He was so obsessed with being a killer with his son that he killed Logan to escape

[@muhammadabdullahamjad1736]

@@saadali771 the story was making sense until it wasn't. I mean they should've released him and then killed him probably through angela because even when Doakes was gonna kill him he was thinking about other ways, but now he only wants to kill, and about the end, Harrison's killing dexter because he thinks dexter feeds his dark passenger doesn't justify his own hurting of a fat lad at school.

[@anonymousreview1351]

Before Harrison killed him it flashed back to all of the innocent people he killed because they were just in his way. Deb, Doakes, LaGuerta, Lundy. Then you realize he’s not the hero vigilante we always thought. Sad but true

[@kevj9589]

The finale ruined the whole season. There were plot holes all over the place. needle marks wouldn't have stayed there so long. ketamine wasn't used for BHB killings. All of a sudden Harrison is blaming Dexter for Rita's and Deb's death? Dex had sent Rita on vacay to get her out of the way. Not his fault the dummy returned cause she forgot something. He lost the urge to kill when with Hannah so left the bad guy tied up for Deb. It's his fault cause he didn't kill the guy? Why did Batista seem so angry hearing Dex is alive? He always liked him and was always a clueless dummy. Harrison goes from "I always feel like I want to hurt people" to "I just want to be normal"? Really? After slashing a nerd with a razor, nearly killing him, and making up a BS story how he attacked him and was going to kill so many other kids? What kind of BS is that? Then he embraces Dexter, crying about that was the connection he was looking for and why he looked for him and then shoots him without pause and doesn't even feel bad about it. Meanwhile they have Dexter saying "I have never felt love til now" to himself? WTF? He loved his sister. He loved his wife. He loved Lumen. He was crazy in love with Hannah to the point she was his cure. Then this PC who never thought to track Kurt, didn't even know about his cabin til Dex showed her, and didn't have a friggin clue about 25 years of murder happening under her nose, figure it all out about Dexter based on some screws and needle marks? Oh brother. Didn't even look like Dex snapped Logan's neck. Logan just drops dead after firing his gun. The real Dex wouldn't have killed him anyway. He would have left him unconscious with his signature choke sleeper hold and locked him up in the cell to make his getaway. Lazy writing that created a lot of hype just to steer people away from the ridiculously predictable ending.

[@e.e.8965]

I watched the finale and even cried while watching, but in the end I guess I’m not totally happy about it. I understand Dexter’s death, I understand Harison is not joining him to be a serial killer, instead he realizes how sick this whole thing was. I get it. But I can’t accept that the man who didn’t even killed Doakes was just killed Logan in a heartbeat. The man who found him way out from Lundy and lots of other smart detectives who has much more evidence against him, just got caught for a google search. And Batista, who always believed in Dexter, was like, “Dexter is alive? Then he must be a serial killer! I grab his file which is at least 15 years old but somehow still just under my hand and go to a woman I just met and know nothing about” I agree with people who thinks there should be 12 episodes so we could see Dexter x Angel reunion, people reacting BHB reveal, people reacting Kurt’s room reveal, and maybe people argueing whether Dexter was a hero or was a monster, just like we do for like 10+ years. This finale was NOT THAT BAD but in the end it’s rushed and missing some important detail.

[@rentedguccimink1948]

I would disagree on Harrison. He read the letter, and KNEW why Dexter left. All his emotional outbursts the entire season about being abandoned, etc... IT'S ALL AN ACT. Really the letter reads as if he made a detour just to get some pointers from Dexter(the most prolific serial killer ever) and then kill him, so that he himself won't get caught in the future.

[@e.e.8965]

Modern day writers seem to think that the best TV is shocking, unexpected turns. It is pretty evident to me that they went over budget so they had to wrap the season up in 10 episodes rather than the 12 episode seasons that every single season, one through eight had. For sure they initially intended to reveal all of the dead missing girls to Chief Bishop and that was going to be Dexter's ticket to freedom because they spent the entire season letting us know she has been searching for these missing girls her entire career and how important it was to her. This is why she seemed way out of character in the final episode. I need to sit on this one a bit more and think it through, but it seems they short us 2 episodes and since it was a series ending finale, it just doesn't feel right.

We had Dexter back for about 2 months and for that I’m happy. Dexter was an awesome distraction from pandemic woes. Thank you Michael C Hall for another amazing performance. Clancy Brown was great too. I was ok with the first ending and Hannah’s letter at the end of this season reiterates the sacrifice Dexter made when he decided to leave Harrison. He thought he wouldn’t survive the hurricane, but he did and he lived every day carrying the heavy weight of his actions. Im sure Dexter would take the two to three weeks he had with Harrison in new blood even if he knew he would die. He would do anything to ensure his son’s safety. I know he went off code at the end but with a caged animal backed up into a corner, there is no code at that point but survival. Time to watch Six Feet Under on DVD. I got emotional at both finales, since it’s during both that we see empathy and the sacrifice Dexter makes for his son’s welfare.I really do feel like I’m mourning a loved one. RIP Dexter Morgan.

So I’m still wondering how Kurt found out “Jim Lindsay” was responsible in the connection of his son’s disappearance. Was there an item or symbol that pointed suspiciousness towards “Jim Lindsay” from Kurt’s POV? It still doesn’t make sense how Kurt “ties” Matt’s titanium rods to Dexter.

[@kingtv3321]

I think it was a couple things: Kurt being a serial killer and always alert, led him to poke around when he smelled smoke on Dexters jacket, but dexter had told him he was doing something that would have had nothing to do with smoke. Pretty much (i imagine) hearing a complete lie from someone who would really have no reason to lie led him to investigate his incinerator.

I'm literally so disappointed... As many other people said, this season started so well, I was so excited and so happy to meet the new characters, to see how Dexter's been doing all this time and finally meet Harrison. Episode 9 was amazing and I literally didn't even think that they could ruin all of this with the last episode which was supposed to be...Idk, a good one?! I didn't hate or love the ending of season 8, I just took it for what it was but this one...This one really made me mad. You're telling me that Angela, a little cop from a city forgotten by the world put everything into pieces in just some days or weeks? She wasn't capable to solve any case and she solved the biggest case from Miami? This whole thing was bad written. Dexter lived in Miami for so many years, was a serial killer there and never got caught even tho some people suspected him, they did it after YEARS of knowing him. Laguerta trying to figure out if Dexter is the Bay Harbour Butcher was waaaaay better than Angela doing it. Not to mention the fact that Angel just got along with what Angela said, not even questioning it, just went along with everything when he knew Dexter for so many years!! Harrison was such a hypocrite, he nearly killed that boy and blamed everything on him to be a hero, wanted to hurt other people and then after hearing what Dexter did he just chose to kill him? Like, I get that Dexter didn't want that for his child, he chose to leave him with Hannah (which reminds me, We never even found for real what happened to her, just went along with that Harrison said but at this point, I just think he killer her and lied.) to have a better life and now Harrison blames him for that when he wasn't even happy to know his dad better? Like c'mon you could've just idk, never came in the first place. The actors did a great job like always but this whole ending is just pissing me off so bad.

The problem is that the entire line with Batista is BS. Remember the last season. Angel and Quin covered Dexeter for the kill of Oliver as revenge for Deb. Angel never even considered Dexter as the BHB. They pretty much parted ways as friends. Even Miria didnt belive Douxe about Dexter until she found that blood slide in the church. For them to sudeenly pull a "case file" for Dexter - thats so far fetched and doesnt connect with the other seasons.

Harrison has to grow up though (in real life) in my opinion.

Dexter is such a unique story that they CAN bring it back as a whole new Dexter series only Harrison won't be a blood spatter analyst or working in forensics. I don't know I'm not a writer but there are many possibilities. I just love the concept so much that I wanna see it go on. Dexter is a unique story

[@M4tTh3w909]

Thank you for sharing your opinion

[@iggydala09]

The "open your eyes and look at what you've done" line was a great catch and amazing callback to the first episode and made me like the ending so much more. Dexter always said it was important that his victims see why they've ended up on his table, and when Harrison said that to him he realized that it was his time to go. I'm not sure how I feel about Dexter's decision to kill Logan, since even if Harrison agreed to go with him, they would have been on the run with a nationwide manhunt pursuing. They certainly wouldn't have been able to continue living out the code like Dexter was hoping for at the beginning of the episode. And although I think it's possible he could have beaten the charges of being the Bay Harbor Butcher, it would be super difficult for him and his son to continue killing after standing trial in such a high-profile case. It seems like Dexter was freaked out by the idea of being confronted by the life he left behind, so escaping was the best option. I guess in the end it shows that Dexter was capable of feeling and expressing real love, but that he was also still a monster who loved to kill without mercy, whether they deserved it or not. And that's why Harrison had to do what he did. A very tragic but fitting conclusion. Damn I'm gonna miss Dexter. Michael C. Hall is such an incredible actor. Seeing Dexter and Batista go back and forth would have been a real treat.

[@samgeez]

Everyone is saying the end was out of character for him but I think that was the point. His son changed him like being a parent often does. He know with Batesta coming there was not a way out of him facing the crimes in FL so he had to fight his was out as the only way he can honor code number 1 (always the paramount code for him) but to also be with his son again. His sons comments help him realize he cannot stay with him (as there may be a chance his son doesnt actually have a dark passenger) and he would not allow himself get caught. His realization of his unconditional love for his son and self sacrifice was the way he had to go. I would have loved a different ending and more seasons but i think this was always the way it was going to go for him.

I feel that the final message of the story is that the greatest expression of love is self sacrifice. It's a very beautiful and heart warming story because we watch this young boy who because of his trauma develops an addiction for violence so we sympathize with him in that regard but we question whether or not he actually has the capacity to feel real human connection with himself and others and it turns out in the end that he does.

Chief Bishop altered the crime scene & helped a criminal (Harrison, the son of the Bay Harbor Butcher) escape the murder of his father. Harrison is a key witness to all of this. How would this reflect on Angela as a police officer?

[@mattgarbe4840]

@@baphometic8767 i dont understand why Dexter deserved this though? I'm sorry but there IS a difference between killing the innocent, and killing other serial killers. It IS a necessary evil. It shouldn't matter if Dexter is addicted to it, or enjoys it. In the end its evil but a necessary one and one that doesn't harm the innocent. at least not in compared to how many people he saves. If he is evil, so is the military, so is self defense, so is life sentence prison sentences. It's all killing those who hurt the innocent.

[@baphometic8767]

@@mattgarbe4840 if you don't understand why dexter deserved to face repercussions for his actions (same as every person ever, including his victims) then i don't think any sort of argumentation is going to convince you otherwise. the entire point of the miniseries was to give a fitting conclusion to the show. having dexter get away with it would have been the same song and dance from the first 8 seasons. that wasn't the point of this mini series.

[@BillJGates]

We all know how will be for Season 2. Harrison will be the next serial killer and Dexter will appear in Harrison's life just like Deb did.

[@dddd-qc1ee]

Harrison saw Dexter kill Matt, which was shown in the final episode. Harrison early on in the new series suggested to Dexter that he thought he'd been abandoned by his father because of himself, although we now know this is a lie as the letter clearly states the reasons for Dexter's self imposed exile. Harrison attempted to murder his school friend by cutting his femoral artery. He did this to quell his urge to kill. This suggests maybe Harrison has killed before. This evidence suggests that Harrison intended to kill Dexter from the start. Otherwise why hide the fact that he knew the truth Dexter's past and present?

[@culu4877]

Yes, totally agree. The letter at the end tells all. Harrison had intended to put down his father all along. Like, it was his father's death wish.

[@lindseyormsbee]

I still can't get over the fact that we're just supposed to accept that Kurt knew Dexter killed Matt and where he disposed of the body. That's sloppy writing. Also, how can you frame Angela as some beacon of morality when she straight covers up a murder and does exactly what Dexter does in a sense?

[@jshaers96]

I'm still wondering what Olsen was supposed to be there for. That must have been one of the most pointless characters in TV history. I had high hopes for this show but there was so much about it that was badly thought-through that I lost interest.

[@liverpoolfanatic8064]

Kurt knew because when Dexter picked him up outside of the tavern there was ash snowing everywhere, Kurt says this in ep 7 or 8 to dexter and then shows him the titanium, Kurt found the titanium from the place Dexter burnt Matt’s body and put two and two together.

[@lindseyormsbee]

@@liverpoolfanatic8064 That hardly means that Dexter killed Matt. He would've had to seen Dexter put him in the incinerator. That was never said.

[@lindseyormsbee]

@@jshaers96 Olsen was a cheap red herring.

[@jshaers96]

@Oliver Brodrick Dexter had no motive for killing Matt. Presumably people use the furnace often enough for ash to be a common occurence. And, given that someone has disappeared in suspicious circumstances, it was ludicrous that the police didn't think of the furnace right away. It was bad, lazy writing, as bad as Batista suddenly remembering Harrison's name.

[@lawbinson]

I guess the rich guy they introduced at the start was really just to throw off the scent on Kurt Caldwell for a few episodes

[@PetePeppers1]

Seems that way

[@meglomart]

How are they going to call him out for being BHB , find Kurt's trophy room, bring Batista into this and just ignore all of the aforementioned for a sloppy rushed 15 minutes of no pay off. This needed two more episodes. They could have had dexter trip and fall and it would be a better ending.

[@zastrzyk]

Exactly the finale felt a bit rushed in, they could do 2 more episodes and maybe show how harrison came to conclusion that he wants to kill dexter, and not as it was more like on an impulse of finding out about logan

[@poolmup]

Dexter deserved much much much more...!!! They showed Harrison as a hypocrite.. Kills dexter and runs away to do good lol 😂 like really worst ending!!!

[@williamthekiller7219]

I've always thought that he might have to kill harrison if he tried to do it his own way like he did with his other students but conflicted..no idea since I didn't get a chance to see

[@unizozz]

He had to run after he found out batista was coming. Dexter killed a man in the police station and then faked his own death. How could he explain that.

[@bgko91880]

Don't really see the point in reviving a series and completely abandoning the characters and setting that helped define it just to essentially kill the lead character off because? He was a killer who deserved to die? Maybe, but why glorify and allow us to root for him in the first place? Say what you will about the Sopranos, but it ended in a way that, even if it was framed in a way to hint at Tony's death, it was never shown and left (even to this day) to the audience to decide. And it's still talked about to this day. When I hear "Don't Stop Believin'" I will always think of that final scene. The song Harrison is listening to as he drives away from Iron Lake? Already forgot it. He drives away smiling, only minutes after killing his dad, which puzzles me considering it's primarily the death of Logan that set Harrison off. A death that wasn't even that apparent to me initially. Probably because Dexter is more than capable of knocking someone out as opposed to uncharacteristically executing an innocent police officer because the plot demands it. Just like giving Harrison a rifle when it's the last gift Dexter would give to the son he compares to himself. This is just another plot convenience this show employed just to get to the finale. Too bad because I seem to have been more satisfied with him faking his death. At least it was in Miami and involved the original cast besides 2 short cameos from Batista and the memory of Deb. Even Harry was sidelined. I don't think any ending would've been perfect but to kill him off in such an unsatisfactory way?

[@bdizz19]

Couldn't agree more! Horrible way to end it, would have liked to see Angela n def talk about the Kurt killings/ Bateaseda/ better code training

[@larrychrysler]

What I got out of the end ALSO was that Dexter was becoming more and more (evolving into) Harrison’s own “dark passenger.” Notice also at the end that Dexter was dressed in black. Harrison told Dexter that he just wanted to be normal. I think it was then Dexter realized that in order for Harrison to live and be normal. The dark passenger is like a parasite. It needs a host. Dexter also was becoming aware that HE needed Harrison in order become the next phoenix from the flame….igniting from Dexter to Harrison. Dexter realized that the flame, the dark passenger, needed snuffed out. Harrison was tainted enough by him. I truly believed that Dexter realized this at the end and encouraged Harrison to end it….by killing him. Killing Dexter and the dark passenger. Dexter didn’t want to become the dark passenger, like a parasite, to live off Harrison. In order for Harrison to live and be normal, the parasite must be killed….even if it meant killing the host itself (Dexter).

[@PhantomsDesire]

Harrison would NOT be normal......especially after killing his father. Nope!!

[@cv-cq9ry]

IF you believe that a kid who premeditated slicing a teen friend, and then inflicted injury on himself to make himself appear attacked and then KILLED HIS OWN FATHER is going to be normal, you're delusional.

[@firestorm5432]

I think the ending was bad, Harrison could have killed many people on the way to find dexter which they subtlety hint at and tried to slash his only friend to death and broke that kids arm before he knew anything about dexters truth, and when he finally learned he was happy because he knew his dad left him for a reason trying to protect him and that he wasn’t going through his urges alone and that he always loved him, plus he was a serious accomplice watching dexter saw up Kurt into pieces and was gruesome but he was totally fine, they made it seem like the duo was going to spring back into action which is what I would’ve preferred to see instead of dexter having no other choice but to kill the coach because he wouldn’t cooperate and Harrison suddenly flops maybe it was because the coach was like a second dad and then somehow decides he has to die just because of that not even let him go just killed him, they were literally about to leave the brand new life he had and he was fine, only when the coach was the victim did he turn, even though he had his own victims before knowing dexters and then he drives off into the sunset like some hero as if his dark passenger is gone when it’s not and he had just killed his dad of all people, I think you’re right about dexter using him as an excuse to be himself again but he also wanted what was best for Harrison and if he really had a dark passenger which he does because I think attempted murder qualifies then he really would have been better off with dexter because he likely would have committed suicide in prison or gotten the death sentence before killing innocent people that he already attempted to do otherwise

[@keenanmoore264]

Can you do us fans a favour and re write the ending of Dexter" New Blood the way you did for the previous season ending? That's how i originally found your channel years ago and why i looked you up again when this reboot kicked off. That re write was phenomenal... I'm praying tomorrows announcement is one final secret episode where dexter wakes up from a dream he's having in the jail cell right before he kills logan and we get an alternate ending.

Great video and review as always! So were all the inferred cameras in the forest removed after the White Buck shooting?

It was the ending that I knew was coming. I think it would’ve been perfect if as Harrison was driving out of town Dexter appeared next to him as his dark passenger and said something like “don’t forget that we need to go to a big city”

[@joruscbaoth1192]

Kinda funny ending. Nothing makes sense. Harrison gets all self righteous and then burns down dad without a blink. They also do this where the Seneca Reservation still has heat sensor cameras recording a smaller human shooting Dexter and a female in uniform letting shooter go and cleaning the weapon of finger prints. FBI, State Troopers and professional forensic teams coming in. I doubt they would miss that. Sad ending. The rest of the episodes were very good though. The Ketamine link was when I knew they would mess this all up. He used M99 in Miami. Not Ketamine. Therefore Angela would not have found a link nor gone hell bent looking for a connection.

[@byrddii3516]

Killing Dexter was beyond stupid especially if they plan on bringing the show back with Harrison as the lead he will never be able to live up to Dexter & he will get caught they made the code so important it's what kept Dexter outta jail #1 rule of the code "Don't Get Caught" if Harrison isn't willing to hurt an innocent to save himself the show is over before it begins in the first few seasons of Dexter he was very neat & careful but towards the last seasons he was sloppy leaving evidence getting caught multiple times they didn't stick to the script of who Dexter was so they messed up the show & they have messed up any chance of the new show making sense especially since Harrison isn't as good as Dexter was 1 season was not nearly enough for Dex to teach him everything he knows to survive I figured once they bought Harrison back he would be a killer too if they were smart they wouldn't have killed Dex this soon they could have waited 2 or 3 seasons in because I rather watch them kill together as a team than to watch any show starring Harrison😕

[@hbk425]

I thought the finale was okay. I liked the definitive conclusion and that itself makes it much better than the first finale. My problem is with the pacing and with the lack of proper closure. We needed a Batista vs Dexter confrontation. Batista was just brought in for fan service, when he should have had a much better role. David Zayas is a fantastic actor, and I can just imagine how he would react to learning the truth from Dexter. I would have also liked for Harrison to maybe shoot Dexter in the leg and just turn him in. This ending STILL makes him a killer. Sure, he doesn't have his Dad's dark passenger but this is surely gonna mess him up, if he isn't already. I felt the first 40 mins of the finale were really great. There was some great tension all around. Killing Logan was also a ballsy move, ones I feel weren't made enough in even the original series( example Doakes getting killed by Lila). Think they needed one more episode at least, or maybe 30 more mins...and this could have been an all time classic instead of something that polarizes fans again. This is where pacing comes into the picture! I just hope that the announcement tomorrow is around an epilogue type episode rather than some Harrison spinoff. Honestly, I just want Harrison to lead a normal life and I don't want Dexter to be reduced to a Riverdale like teen drama.

[@Regitron3000]

I agree with the idea of needing one more episode to let the plot breathe a bit. Back half of the episode felt truncated and contrived plot wise to get the final ending. While I liked the idea of Dexter getting so desperate to reunite with Harrison that he'd kill innocent people to do it, I wish the situation in the episode was that dire. It really didn't feel like it, since they had just found Kurt's house with evidence that Kurt left in a hurry and was the one behind the arson, as well as Angela about to discover Kurt's trophy bunker. A Dexter/Bautista reunion would have been great. Bautista was like the last one of the original Miami Homicide team (aside from Masuka) that never suspected Dexter. There was an inkling of suspicion from him in the original finale, but to finally confront Dexter would have been a cool scene.

Spoilers for Harry Potter, Logan and GOT season 8, and John Dorie FTWD, Endgame. Dexter Morgan IS NOT A FUCKING MONSTER. Actions speak louder then words. He could have killed Doakes in the struggle in the river but he didn't, he KNOCKED HIM OUT. He could have killed Laguerta but he let Deb choose who died. Every fucking time he thought about killing an innocent life he REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT FUCKING HARD! The Story was rushed and not properly developed in the last episode. Dexter helped kill so many Evil pieces of shit worse then himself. He truly cared about Rita, Deb and Harrison. He is NOT LIKE any of the killers, Kurt and Trinity Ex. Fucking sad. Personal favorite fictional characters seem to always die. And you know what Severus Snapes line is great in this situation,"you kept him alive so that he can die at the proper moment" but in this context "the proper moment" means to kill the character In the most FUCKING DISRESPECTFUL WAY POSSIBLE! I cried like Lara did when she was beside Logan/Wolverine when he dead. And like really everyone when Tony Stark/Iron Man dead. Except both did there deaths with respect and not played like a FUCKING JOKE. Dexter's Death is Deanery's Death all over again. The last 20 or 15 minutes of Episode 10 New Blood WAS NOT FUCKING DEXTER MORGAN! HE WOULDN'T OUTRIGHT KILL AN INNOCENT LIFE. Just like how the in the last few episodes of season 8 of GOT THAT WAS NOT Deanary's Targaryen. And lastly Dexter's Death and the circumstances that lead to his death were done AS FUCKING POORLY as how they treated John Dories death in Season 6 of FTWD. To quote Karen Page to what she said to Frank Castle (who mind you is like Dexter in terms of only killing bad people.) Frank Castle: I need to find these b*stards that took 'em from me. I gotta kill 'em. Karen Page: So where does that end, Frank? Because I look at you and... my heart breaks because all I can see is just this endless, echoing loneliness. Frank Castle: I'm not lonely, Karen. Karen Page: Bullsh*t. We are all lonely. I sometimes think that that is all that life is, we're just... We're just fighting not to be alone. Frank Castle: So what do you want? What should I do? Should I let it go? Season 1 episode 5. Karen Page: No, but I want there to be an after. For you. I'm Karen in this context, I wanted there to be an after for Dexter Morgan because he fucking deserved it. If Dexter got caught I would have at least wanted him to still live in prison. A situation where the people see that he killed Kurt and other Evil Bastard's and that fact would save him the Death Penalty. To quote a fellow KZbin viewer. "Dexter doesn't scare me, he is by far the most lovable and relatable serial killer. He is NOT a psychopath, because he feels emotions like empathy for his sister, his son, Rita, and his girlfriends throughout the series. He despises child murders/rapists and feels guilty when kills the wrong person by accident. This makes believe he is more of a sociopath then a psychopath. Don't forget he is a monster, but he could be a whole lot worse." Again he is not a monster. In my opinion. Hell have Dexter be in Prison but still help kill Killers that are on the loose. pork sandwiches, and Contact visitation for Harrison.

[@bryanenty8385]

Agree with a lot except for the part of laguerta. If deb wasn’t there he for sure would have killed her. I saw that as self preservation at its strongest. Dexter preaches this code but in the end he’s willing to take an innocent life to continue with his killings. That’s why I understand why dexter killed Logan. He was desperate, REALLY desperate especially since he knew Batista was coming around.

[@msteward2070]

@Aaron Vega fire pit? He didn't burn him in the fire pit though. He took the body to the town incinerator. So Kurt going to the fire pit for the screws wouldn't make sense. Bottom line, Dexter's story was plausible that Kurt was setting him up. Bautista put Dexter in a desperate mind. Dexter wanted to die in the end because he deserved to maybe.

[@feliciachambers8478]

That was Kurt’s explanation, but it made no sense. Why did ash floating around lead him to suspect that DEXTER killed Matt. Anyone could have incinerated that piece of trash. BTW - it seems that Matt was a budding serial killer, like his daddy. Not much hope that Harrison won’t be.

I feel the main thing lacking in this season was a strong villain. I remember when the Trinity Killer was introduced and when they showed his bathtub kill at the end of the episode, I was absolutely horrified. It kept me hooked to the series and as bad as Arthur was, he was truly worthy of being Dexters opponent. Same with how Travis was able to trick Dexter or even Oliver for that matter (although luck just worked in his favour). Kurt had an okayish back story and they just failed to implement it. Other than that, the ending kind of reminded me of how Breaking Bad ended, maybe it was just a parallel or inspirational.
