niice. good to know they have a definite ending in mind. it means the show wont just linger and churn out stupid episodes, each episode be meaningful!
Sure hope so, because last season felt like it was an interesting season, but only 2 or 3 seasons into this series, not 5 or 6. The religion aspect could've been interesting, but it had next to no affect on Dexter other than to get angry at the loss of a friend.

i dont really think it was meant to have an affect on him, it was really just there to introduce him to another aspect of life that he knew nothing about.
Is there anything left to say other than, fucking bring it on?
one word: WOW

I broke my rule of never watching teaser/trailers of shows I'm going to watch anyway. Really wish I didn't because that video is quite spoilerific. Did that scene with Masuka really have to be in there?
99% chance is a dream/imagination scenario.

Indeed. Even if Dexter was gonna kill Masuka i can't imagine he would do it this way. Most likely an effect of Deb finding out. Dexter is probably go around imagine others finding out and fear what he might do if that happens. Can't tell you how much i have been looking forward to this. I have been wondering ever since the first season what would happen if Deb found out. Finally we gonna find out.
I figured that too since it's unlikely Dexter would ever kill anyone that way. Still something I would've rather not seen in a trailer though.
Too little, too late for this show. Diminishing returns after season 2 have really put a damper on the potential of this reveal - not to mention the creepy as fuck Deb/Dexter shit from the last season.
Gotta say, as much as I liked Dexter, Breaking Bad seems to have accomplished more in 2 seasons in terms of plot/character development than Dexter did in 7.

Agreed. The first season of Dexter was excellent, the second was good (I still contend Dexter should've been dead that season). But the other seasons where mostly meh because of a lack of character development. One of the problems is that the gimmicks for each season seem to have no lasting impact on Dexter. The friendship and trust thing in season 3, the death of the wife in season 4, and the religion thing in season 6. Makes the show feel like it lacks progression. This coming season is the first time in years that there will be real character development that should make a lasting impact (on Dexter). The sister on the other hand has developed awesomely until that creepy thing at the end of last season.
Breaking bad on the other hand... I like how my brother put it. He said that the characters in the show are kind of like the guy you play in the fable series. As you get deeper and deeper into being evil, your features change to match. Their changes are chronicled on their faces, Walt and Jesse's in particular.

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to compare character development in Breaking Bad to Dexter. As the name implies, "Breaking Bad" is pretty much about Walt's metamorphosis. He started out as just an ordinary high school Chemistry teacher and there was plenty of room for him to develop.
Dexter, on the other hand, started out as a serial killer with a code. How exactly do you go about developing such a character? Either he starts changing back into a normal person (it would be naive to think this could truly happen) or he completely gives up his code and disintegrates into the same kind of monster as those that he kills. Yet, his whole character revolves around resisting the change into the latter and maintaining a balance. While change would be nice, it is a lot harder to do in this situation and still stick to the main premise of the show.
That being said, I do agree that this show has been stretched out far too much. I didn't see a whole lot of value in Season 3 (the one about his friendship with Miguel), Season 5 (with Julia Styles and the motivational speaker) and much of the last one (with the exception of the end).
