These all fall under that "shoot first, ask later" mentality.

I think this has to be the worst way for Dexter to end and may be one of the worst seasons of Dexter since seson 5! So many issues with the show this season from

 Vogel suddenly wanting to try and help her son, to Hannah bringing Harrison into the urgent care without even trying to friggin disguise herself (let alone call...oh I don't know, maybe Deb or her friend who friggin lives in Miami and practically worships her) to Dexter being a class one idiot and LEAVING HIS FRIGGIN KNIVES RIGHT NEXT TO THE HOMICIDAL KILLER.

And then lets get started on the random character personality changes. Deb all of sudden never lost her feelings for Quinn, despite that never being hinted at once, Hannah never liked killing, despite it being shown last season that she was the one who killed people in an overly aggressive way and then blamed all the killing on her boyfriend who did time for it, let's introduce a subplot of the PI having feelings for Deb...only for it to go absolutely nowhere, and while we're at it, let's introduce a slew of plots that go nowhere, like Dex having an apprentice or the Matsuka daughter thing.

 

so annoying this year!! Opinins?

Deb all of sudden never lost her feelings for Quinn, despite that never being hinted at once, Hannah never liked killing, despite it being shown last season that she was the one who killed people in an overly aggressive way and then blamed all the killing on her boyfriend who did time for it

 

Hannah's killing was always explained as a product of a survival instinct rooted in an experience of her drowning when she was a kid. Whenever she feels like she's drowning or trapped, her instinct to kill takes over and she can't control herself, being similar to the instinct to struggle to save yourself from drowning. When you don't know how to swim, you're first response is to be overly aggressive, and the more you acquaint yourself with the water, the more realize you're in control. That's what happened with Hannah. The first time she killed, she was overly-aggressive, just like someone's first experience in the water. But she still gets afraid, and still feels trapped, and tries to escape, even though she has more control over it.

 

Elway was introduced as a type of alternative brother figure to set against Dexter and cause conflict. Remember that episode where he was spying on his sister's boyfriend to try to "save" her from him? Well, Elway has some interest in Deb but treats her like he treats his sister. He wants to save her, and everything is an excuse against that. What he wants to save her from ends up being her real brother.

 

Masuka's daughter.. I think they just wanted to have Masuka's character have character growth before they wrapped up the series. They were doing this with everyone else, and had to do something for Masuka, too. Joey gets responsible, Batista gets in charge, Deb reconciles her feelings, Dexter starts towards a new life ... leave Masuka out of the picture, and he feels like a throwaway character. I don't feel the writers wanted to leave him hanging like that.

Do you remember the monsters?  Dexter is the monster, that last episode proved it.

 

Not naming anybody, spoiler effect...  

 

- Look at that video... Self defence hey?  Good kill but self defence?

- In a bus full of people, nobody see what she's done?  How convenient...

- Kill her?  I know she was not coming back but still...

- Dumps her into the ocean?  Wow, that's full of respect, treating her like all his other kills...

- *ONE TEAR* Oh, do you want to eat ice cream?

- Fake death and unhappy life goes on?  Serious?

 

The writers should have been on Dexter table for a long while....

Dexter feels he's responsible for Deb being shot, but its her fault for not keeping an eye on Saxon. And he did destroy her emotionally for a while, but apparently everything turned out OK with her because of Vogel's magic psychotherapy.

Yeah, that's something that's screwed up. I don't honestly believe somebody would magically get over something like that like as easily and quickly as she did.

I'm not saying the Series Finale was good.

 

- It was self defense in the eyes of the viewers.

- I don't know about you, but I don't watch everyone when I travel on a bus or plane, I usually pass out.

- Which part was this?

- Deb died due to Dexter's life style, so she was one of his kills, unfortunately.

- Can you not hold your emotions?

- Yes, lame ending.

Did she? If she just watched the door where she locked up Saxon, which I thought was the common sense thing to do, even with him secured to the chair... And, something like that could have happened in her normal line of duty, anyway. A criminal trying to get away, firing at her.

 

I know that's how Dexter felt, though, and that's why he buried her at sea. I don't know if Deb would have liked him to do that, either way. She told him not to blame himself. It was still disrespectful.

It reminded me of Wolverine origins when he's a lumberjack, I wonder if he is actually Wolverine?

 

I must say this finale didn't get as much of an emotional reaction out of me than Burn Notice did.  Sad to see the show go though, and I certainly didn't predict that ending.

2nd Worst Series Finale.

 

The Sopranos still takes the cake.

 

I would have preferred Dexter getting killed in a plane crash into the ocean from the storm and never making it to Argentina. They could have ended with hundreds of bodies floating in the Atlantic and do a close up on Dexter and fade to black. Idiots.

I thought it was pretty good. That final bit wasn't needed and it would probably have been better if they had just left that out completely, but everything else was completely fitting. I enjoyed it, it was emotional, it left me in tears, it was a great, great show.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
