Hall stars in the hit SHOWTIME Original Series.

I think the Brain Surgeon scooped out some of the writers' brains this season.

[@sponge9553]

I absolutely LOVE what Dexter does right after he kills Saxon takes the time to admire is handiwork then right back to faking it

[@stephelizabeth]

This made no sense. He was so obviously dangerous, more so than some others he’s killed with more will and determination and yet he lets this one go just for him to kill more innocent people and shoot his own sister. He’s literally killed for much less but this so blatantly dangerous psychopath was where he wanted to draw the line with some “I don’t need to kill you” BS. All I could think was “The fu*k you don’t Dexter!

[@mike7gerald]

Exactly what I thought. Then he kills him off quickly, without suffering. He had him cuffed onto the operating table--should have operated on him.

[@michaelsieger9133]

Because the writers wouldn't commit to a single ending. Dexter gets away... but he'll spend the rest of his life as a lumberjack. Deb gets over her issues and things are looking up... but she's shot in the gut by discount Ryan Gosling.

[@lifeunderthestarstv]

dude dont take dexter too serious, first couple seasons were great with flaws, almost everything else was the usual cash grab decline in quality and more flaws and plot holes pop up

[@arghpee]

US Marshall would have caught him killing Oliver

[@Senriam]

@@michaelsieger9133Deb dying made sense. A constant theme of every season is Dexter not getting what he truly wants, and instead getting what he deserves. He wanted his sister to come back to him (emotionally), to be a father to Harrison, and to have a life with Hanna. He got none of that. His sister died and he tried to kill himself but survived anyway. He didn’t deserve to just die and end all his pain. He deserved to live with it.

@@EtherVIIs3 was amazing what

[@EtherVII]

@@Stoicdexter For the most part Dexter seasons followed the formula of: Main killer(s) Dex and Miami metro were in pursuit of + new and existing character(s) Dex to varying degrees shared or would eventually share his dark passenger with while continuing/forming close personal relationships (sometimes this second part would also apply to the main killer). This formula usually accounted for the most exciting parts of each season, and The Skinner was the worst main killer, along with Miguel Prado ranking pretty close to the bottom on the series' list of accomplices/acquaintances/confidants. He wasn't a very interesting character, and their relationship was introduced so early in the season that there was less room for tension/suspense/mystery.

[@user-dj1qp8ph6w]

Saxon was Dexter's final victim in the original series before "New Blood".

[@philpritchettphan]

I always thought Dexter considered Deb to be his final table kill, even though it was a mercy killing. Because of his role and guilt in what happened, and that's partly why he leaves her in the same watery grave as all of his other table kill victims.

[@glich5601]

Its sad cause his final victim ever was his friend an innocent man. New blood was brutally tragic

[@user-dj1qp8ph6w]

@@glich5601 That man was an innocent cop, and when Dexter killed him, he broke the second rule of the Code.

What I never got was how the police don’t get suspicious when all the killers they are looking for just end up dead lol. Like they never arrest anyone cause they all get killed by Dexter right ?

[@jamieleigh6145]

that's explained in season 1, Miami's murder rates are off the charts and the solve rates are abysmal its why dexter chose too stay their. and it isn't all of their killers that go to dexter most are ones they fail too prosecute and are assumed too have skipped town. he's got a whole code on who and how too kill too avoid capture his colleagues are clueless too what he's doing aswell since hes so methodical

[@AlexCervantes-ww6cw]

⁠​⁠@@jamieleigh6145yes but what he means is, how do the cops never suspect that the bay harbor butcher is still around, criminals keep disappearing. But I guess Dexter hides his tracks well.

Season 4 was the peak of “Dexter’s refusal to finish a job or protect innocent people to satisfy some personal desire.” Rita’s murder should have been a wakeup call. Instead, Dexter continued to be careless and drew out hunts far longer than S1-3 Dex would ever have let last. Season 4 perfectly teased all these opportunities to kill Trinity to drive home that Dexter was making a mistake. To not have him learn from this and develop a sense of urgency is just bad writing.

[@themakerstoolbox9688]

I havent watched the show so take this with a huge pinch of salt. I see it as he was actually emotionally invested in this one. He didnt want to kill again but because of his emotional attachmemt to the case he felt he had to. Because he didnt want to he no longer cared about the ritual or any inbetween steps. He wanted to get straight to the business cobsidering he wasnt going to enjoy it either way. Might as well get it done quick and dirty. Irl this is how many killers gey caught. They no longer find enjoymemt in their bormal ritual so they do something more extreme and get sloppy. In the case of this show he didnt want to go grander, but he was emotional and thus much less rational and safe, ending in this slippy one with no ritual and an innocent caught in the crossfire.

[@dirty56ace]

Dang , such an amazing show.

[@vinilima1227]

I love the brain surgeon so much. By far the most underrated villain in the whole series. Sure, I agree he should’ve had more development and screen time but I love this character. My biggest problem is he’s revealed to be the FINAL villain of the show in the last couple of episodes, I think he should’ve been properly revealed earlier. This guy is such a maniac and the concept of removing the part of the brain that processes empathy is so cool and terrifying. I’m not gonna lie, if I had to choose between staying in a room with Arthur Mitchell or oliver Saxon I would definitely pick Arthur !!! Oliver Saxon is so insane, he doesn’t have any problems with killing people even family members BESIDES people do not give him enough credit because he is literally the guy who ultimately destroyed dexter’s life by killing the most important person in his life, Debra. I think other villains are better but I think the brain surgeon is much much much better than doomsday killer and Jordan chase and he’s more dangerous and intimidating than Lila and Miguel prado. I love the brain surgeon. And I like the fact he has similarities to the ice truck killer. UNDERRATED VILLAIN !! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@DanielTheAssassin]

It definitely could have been done for Oliver, I mean... If you look at Hannibal Season 3, Francis Dolarhyde a.k.a the Red Dragon was introduced mid-way (somewhat after the mid-way point of the season tbf) and things built up really well around and about him. If Oliver was handled the same way Francis was, he could have definitely been the greatest possible, even if it takes place in what could arguably be one of the worse seasons of Dexter as a whole (I generally have no issues with the seasons past 4, but I can see where everyone else's frustrations lie. I did join the fray when they butchered the ending of New Blood and denied us that confrontation between Dexter and Batista)

[@vinilima1227]

It's crazy because he survived a stab to a vital area too. There's a couple arteries up in that area in fact there was an only fans woman who said she threw a knife I guarantee she stabbed her boyfriend but he bled from the subclavian artery. Anyway when you hit these arteries you have about 30 seconds. Some people can choose to fight during that 30 seconds. They say sometimes it can be a few minutes open never have to find out. Anyway in that situation the bad guy can be really dangerous. The serial killer dialogue is always really really creepy that's why I can't get into this dexter stuff. But I do study self-defense combatives and blade work all the time. This one was harder to watch because I forgot about the amount of detail they go into to making everything look hyper realistic.

Someone will disagree with what I am about to say but I don't particularly care; dexter kind of was the good guy( in the beginning) and the writers should have kept him that way concerning how he stuck to his father's code of going after bad people only; he could have ignored that and went after anyone he wanted at any time, he could have given in to the temptation of killing the security guard his brother had laid before him at the abandoned hospital or his sister at their childhood home but he chose to follow his father's rules despite his own issues with him because deep down he really didn't want to hurt innocent people and season after season was showing him striving to be a better person and was achieving that slowly especially with lumen in season 5 and brother sam in season 6, Hannah in season 7 Was the worst character ever thought of for her corruptive influence is what brought down Dexter's Integrity and ruined him from being the lovable and honorable character we all know from the books and earlier seasons, the show's 2 endings was I feel very disappointing because they wrote it and his character all wrong for he wouldn't have given in to his grief over the loss of his sister to where he would abandon his own son, sure he would be at his lowest for a minute but he would pull himself together and remember the promise he made to deb of how he would always be there for harrison no matter what and you can't sit there and convince me that a small town sheriff like his girlfriend angela would be able to bust a notorious killer like Dexter based on circumstantial evidence not to mention the tranquilizer formula is not the same; he never used kenimine on his targets he used M99, The writers should have continued adapting his story from the novels for they had tons of potential of doing and successfully pulling off a reverse breaking bad and the blacklist with the character, turning him into his very own sophisticated concierge of crime fighting with a vast network of resources at his disposal to help him hunt those that escape justice while keeping him 2 steps ahead of the people he works for in law enforcement who feels and views himself as the "the bad guy" that doesn't believe he can change but doesn't want to disappoint his father, his best friend angel, his wife, kids and sister by giving up trying with case after case and ultimate showdowns with the main antagonist of the season pushing him further and further down the path of being a honorable, righteous and semi-heroic individual with new blood being his swan song where he sacrifices himself to save his son, his son's girlfriend along with his own girlfriend from Kurt Caldwell, his son and the billionaire character they had in there that was serving as a red herring, have it where he had a connection to kurt and was involved somehow in covering up his secret of being the runaway killer and Dexter dying ending their threat once and for all thus earning his redemption which brings his story arc full circle with him ultimately breaking good, As for doakes the most annoying thing about him was his hypocritical attitude towards dexter when he tried to get him in trouble for just doing his job as a blood spatter specialist after he in an act of revenge shot dead a former death squad operative who was unarmed and tried to cover it up with lies which put his partner angel batista in a very uncomfortable situation of possibly turning him in to be arrested by IA until he was given a pass by the government, It should have been written and adapted according to the way it worked out in the books where they worked together to take down a cartel leader and doakes was severely maimed by the main antagonist dr danco to where he lost his legs and arms and tongue as a consequence for killing in cold blood that death squad operative who just so happened to be related to the villain, dexter tries to save him despite him knowing his secret but fails, he goes into a comma and dies later on in the 3rd season but Is revered as a hero cop and posthumously awarded a medal for risking his life to bring down dr danko who gets framed by Dexter as the Bay Harbor butcher, the same scenario can be applied but altered to the character Maria Laguerta, have the consequences of her actions in season 2 befall her in season 7 by having esme come back for revenge on laguerta for ruining her career by using her secret connections to the criminal underworld to frame her and make her look as if she's losing her mind like what laguerta did to her by sleeping with her boyfriend and have it where Debra is the one that tries to save her but fails with season 8 being the final season that deals with the fallout of that event and Dexter being the loving caring brother that he's been towards her trying to help her overcome the grief of laguerta's death all while dealing with the reign of terror from the brain surgeon, I say all of that to say that joe from the show YOU doesn't hold a candle to dexter and that dexter would have that despicable man for breakfast, lunch and dinner to feed the very jackels he came from! 🔥😁😉👍
