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!

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
