I don't understand why he had to sneak out, he isn't actually wanted for any crimes. Why couldn't he say goodbye?

And why did he have to leave with Dexter RIGHT AWAY?

SPOILERS!

Why couldn't H say goodbye?

He had to leave with D right away because they talked about LA, no?

Did you watch his kills in the other seasons?

Yes. Unless I'm forgetting. Did he kill non murderers? I just remember him flipping out and bashing someone's skull at a truck station out of anger.
 
It seems they were originally writing for more episodes or even a more open end/second season, and then didn't rewrite, and only edited based on the changes.

That scene with Kurt's "trophy room" freaked me out! I was shocked
To see podcast girl was among the victims.

Memento Mori has always been one of the few things that really freak me out.

I wonder what the significance of those Marilyn Monroe-like dresses they had on were.
 
A bit of a rush to the finish line, but an appropriate end to the season/series.

I thought the chain of events leading up to the end were fine, but would've worked better if they had stretched it out over a few episodes and kept the audience more on edge. They should've had Dexter arrested at the end of episode 8, escape at the end of ep9, and then have the rest play out in the finale. Having it all happen in one episode didn't really give these moments the punch they could've had, and it just felt like a rushed wrap up.

Ultimately, they spent a bit too much time with the other killer, who was fairly uninteresting and conveniently placed on a collision course with Dexter, based on some really dumb logic. Yeah, Matt had some titanium implants that didn't melt in the fire. Maybe I missed it, or just can't remember right now, but I don't think we really got an explanation as to how Caldwell knew Dexter was the murderer. He had the evidence that Matt was disposed of, but it didn't point to who did it. It's like the writers had a good idea with how Matt would be discovered, but couldn't really link it up with how it would expose Dexter as his killer, but they liked that titanium rod idea so much, that they just went with it and hoped the audience wouldn't ask too many questions about how Caldwell put two and two together with a missing piece of information.

Anyways, overall a good season. Not up there with the best seasons, but a bit better than the mediocre ones, and miles better than the big pile of shit that was S6-S8. I'd put it as the fourth best season, behind S1,S2, and S4, but slightly ahead of S3 and S5. It was a good return to form, and a nice correction on what was arguably the worst final run of any once great series.

It was out of character, IMO.Remember when Dexter was going to turn himself in when Doaks figured it out? He gave Logan every opportunity to live and Logan decided to be a hero.

Dexter thought about turning himself in with Doakes, but then decided to do the frame job. And when Lila took care of it for him and also the frame job went through, he saw it as a win. Dexter was a pure psycho, he was acculturated to some pretense of decency through Harry and his continued relationship with Deb, but the bottom line was "don't get caught".

Now Dexter is killing drug dealers?

I thought his whole thing was "I can only kill killers." The "he's a drug dealer so he indirectly kills people" is a stretch.

In the original series, there were plenty of kills that didn't meet the code. As early as season 3 that I can recall (the :eek::eek::eek::eek:phile who was creeping around Astor). Also, I'm surprised that you didn't pick up on that it was about the drugs harming Harrison and not drug dealing itself. Obviously he wouldn't go after drug dealers otherwise.

I really didn't like how Angela/Harrison parted.

It made no sense, character wise. Angela was already an established "child rescuer" (her own daughter wasn't hers), she should have taken Harrison in. The "cover-up" seemed pointless, Dexter was a serial killer, wouldn't be hard to convince people it was self defense.

That was in season 5. First non-code intentional kill I recall was in season 3 against a :eek::eek::eek::eek:phile who was targeting Astor. Dexter wasn't going to kill him at first, he gave him a warning, but then the guy didn't really get the message, so Dexter killed him.

Dexter also killed Oscar Prado in season 3. Technically, it was his first non-code kill, but it was more in self-defense. Oscar was attacking a guy who Dexter was going after, and when Dexter walked in on it, Oscar turned on Dexter, forcing Dexter to kill him. Dexter also mercy-killed one of his dad's old friends in season 3, but not really worth counting.

During season 4, Dexter killed an innocent man named John Farrow. Dexter mistakenly thought he was a rapist and serial killer.

In season 5, in addition to the asshole in the bathroom, Dexter also killed corrupt cop Liddy, who was a pain in the ass and a threat to Dexter's freedom, but not up to code.

In season 7, Dexter kills Hannah's dad who's an asshole and a threat to Hannah's freedom, but not a code kill. Also that season, Dexter was going to kill LaGuerta but Deb does it instead. He's responsible for her death.

In season 8, Dexter kills Deb's lowlife boyfriend/investigation target. He also kills Deb, but it's a mercy kill.
 
What a shit season, and terrible ending....

He also killed that dude growing weed in Nebraska. It was like season 5 or 6, forget which one.

Yeah. I wrote something about it then took it out because it was more of a self-defense kill since the guy was trying to extort him and pulled a gun on him. And it was season 6 to be exact.
 
I was pissed at first, but thought it was a fitting end.

Dexter was literally like a caged animal in the jail cell and had his survival instincts/dark passenger supersede his code when all the walls were closing in on him (like in previous seasons). He was still conscious of his wrong doings when he killed the cop… and all of the flashbacks of the innocent people who were killed directly/indirectly because of him were enough justification for him to die by his own code.

How the ending played out could’ve been written and directed better… but all-in-all this was a solid final season that put a stamp on everything
