The ending was incredibly disappointing, though the series had been going downhill since Season 6. Season 7 had some decent moments but Season 8 was bad from the start.

 

I read this yesterday and thought this would have been a much better ending. This is from the former showrunner on Dexter

That would have been just as bad.

I disagree, it's the same sort of cop out Lost had.

I don't think it would have been. I think the build up would have been much more excting. Anything could happen up to that point.

Again, i've always firmly believed Dexter should have been caught.

I never thought Dexter should have been caught and fans would be in an uproar if he was. I liked the finale because Deb was damaged after she found out about Dexter anyways so I like how they handled that. She could have lived happily ever after with Quinn but that wouldn't have been "Dexter". My only gripe is I think it should have ended with him driving into the Hurrican and dying. The lumberjack thing was way unbelievable.

I never thought suicide would be in Dexters nature. No matter what happens to him or his family. He would always survive somehow.

 

The whole season almost felt like a quick re-write. It was like they had this vogel storyline planned and then they found out that season 8 would be their last. So they quickly rushed around to end it,

As soon as I saw Rappy's comment I thought BSG should have been added to the list of worst endings.  That ending ruined the whole show for me.

Really? I loved the BSG ending.

I wanted a happy ending. The lumberjack thing reminded me of the old Incredible Hulk tv show. Maybe in the spin-off Dexter will roam from town to town solving mysteries and whatnot like Bill Bixby.

 

 

Before, Dexter was killing people, now he's killing trees!

How could a show about a serial killer have a truly happy ending? I thought it was sad that he had to say goodbye to his son and Hannah and the scene with disconnecting Deb from life support was gut wrenching. I think the show would have ended perfectly with him him driving into the hurricane to die. The lumberjack thing didn't  make much sense not to mention how did he survive driving his boat into that storm?

The hospital scene with the guy with the cut out tongue was also really stupid! How did the guy manage to cut his tongue out? Just keep your mouth shut! He was also sitting in the drivers side. The other guy just had a knife, just get out of the frackin car!

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
