I did not appreciate both Deborah and Isaac's sudden change in behaviour towards Dexter. It was as if the last few episodes didn't exist. Also, I did not like how they wrapped up the Isaac storyline so abruptly. That last episode was just too random...
Isaac getting shot by George after that kind of made sense, but the fact that Isaac threw his gun out right before that scene did not. I just didn't like the tension that existed between the two on account of a lack of trust. Sure, they might not trust each other, but Isaac had a gun, and Dexter had a knife. Moreover, Isaac knew the kinds of things Dexter's "capable" of doing with a knife. So he has the upper hand. No need for him to throw his gun out, which makes the scene he gets shot in, bullshit. It's almost as if Dexter has a superpower that makes people with guns get reeeeeeaaaaaallllly stupid as he approaches them. Infuriates me every time.
The change in behavior I kind of get though. For Deb, she's been bitching for quite some time about this, and came to terms so well with what Dex was doing that she actually tried to put a hit on Hannah. After he refused, she did some more bitching...but you know what? It's time she started getting her act together and picked herself up from that mess and it's good to see her do that. Dexter doesn't want to kill Hanna...yet...fine. She warns Dex as a concerned sister should, and moves on.
Isaac...didn't want to die, and he liked Dexter on a personal level. What would've made the change in behavior more smooth is if they did a better job of showing Isaac coming to an understanding of just why Dexter is the way he is. Then we could see Isaac develop some kind of scruples based respect for Dexter. Then it'd be easier to believe that he could look past Victor's murder...provided Dexter gives him the help he required. I mean...lovers are important and losing them hurts...but if you continue living you might love again.

Right, I could have bought in to the whole Isaac cooperating with Dexter if it didn't happen so suddenly. Only last episode Isaac calmly pointed out that them killing each other was inevitable, regardless of the circumstances. Yet at the beginning of this one, the first thing he does is ask him for help, even going so far as to suggest that he would overlook Viktor's murder (and it seemed like he was actually going to keep his word!). The only explanation we get for the sudden change of heart is that he was 'scared'.Originally Posted by Uchiha Barles
Edit: I also just remembered Debra's non-reaction when Dexter told her to call off the surveillance on Isaac because he was going to help him instead of killing him. She pretty much went "Oh sure, anything to oblige".

I don`t mind Deb`s behaviour at all, realistically it would take her longer to accept Dex, but truth is we only have 12 episodes, do you imagine 9 episodes of "noooooooooooooooo, dex is a killer noooooooooooooo!", she figured he had a plan since he survived this long (and he did[and it worked]).
As for Isaak`s storyline, i think it was done, what else was he going to do for the remaining 3 episodes? more random murder attempts? meh, there are more important things going on, Lagordita`s investigation seems far more exciting to me than Isaak tbh, and they also have to wrap the whole deb-dex thing properly.
About Hannah: I LKE HER! she`s perfect for dexter, she`s not as naive as Rita, not as psycho as Lilah and not confused like Lumen, she`s pretty much the perfect match and i hope she stays.

Why is this season so good? As has been the case from the beginning, I'm very much enjoying the darker tone this season is taking on, and that's saying a lot considering it's a show about making you cheer on a serial killer. Dexter coming to the realization that the impulse driving him to do what he does is a part of him was brilliant. This is by no means the first time he's struggled with the concept, and hell, I don't even think this is the first time he's said the words. However, this is the first time all of the consequences of that have been addressed. He accepts it to the point that he goes and willfully kills a man who lies outside of the code.
It'll be interesting to see what happens with that, because if I recall correctly, the code was less about making sure he killed people who deserved it, and more about not getting himself caught. Speaking of killing Hannah's dad, I liked the parallels drawn between Dexter and Quinn. Because of who Dexter is and what he does, his killing of Hannah's dad might seem rather dark, but there really is no difference between his motivations and Quinn's motivation for killing that dicktard George. Both men were just protecting their ladies. Seems like Dexter's becoming more "human".

Man, Dexter is getting played from all sides. Finale should be exciting.
Pretty good ending, i thought SOMEONE framed Hannah, i was surprised when it turned out she did tried to kill Deb.
Seeing Doakes again was nice, i was having a friendly discussion with a friend about how i didn`t liked him being creeped by Dexted for no reason, glad the writers agreed with me!
Maria LaMuerta is gone now, i wonder of ANYONE will link this to Dexter.
1 season to go.

Soo......that happened. wow.
Is this the series finale?
Yessir, that happened. I cheered like hell when that happened. "SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER!" Somebody's going to have to explain to me how Lagordita was stupid enough to head out there by herself. I understand she can't go with the might of the police department backing her, but by herself? That shit smelled of trap like a dirty hooker smells of syphilis.
It looks like there'll be one more season after this:

Miami metro is not exactly the most competent police force out there, R.I.P Lamuerta, Miami just lost the best blowjob giver, never forget.

A) The next season is confirmed to be the last one.
B) Sneak peak (random scene). Not safe for work because Debra has a potty mouth.

So, any of you bother watching the series finale?
I'll say this much, this season was a disaster... boring as fuck, and senseless.
This was the worst season of Dexter, and everything, from the decisions to the events and the consequences, was nonsensical.
It even had a Gainaxed ending. Hobo end WTF.
Peace.
I'd say season 3 is still the worst, but yeah this was pretty bad way to go out on.
Worst season for Dexter. This is what they get if they extend a series this long.
Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.
A really bad ending to what was once an enjoyable series. They should have finished it with season 7, with Deb shooting Dexter. The end.
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
season 4*
