Dexter is no more. In case you haven't yet seen tonight's series finale, we won't post any spoilers here about Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) getting a sex change and running off with Masuka. (Jokes!)
But we can exclusively share with you an amazing alternate ending.
Clyde Phillips served as an executive producer and showrunner on Dexter in the early years, helping shape the series for its first four seasons until he decided to leave the show in late 2009, at the end of the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow) season, which ended with Rita's shocking death.
READ NOW: See how many Dexter fans wanted Dexter to die
I tracked down Phillips, who now serves as executive producer of Showtime's Nurse Jackie, and asked (OK, possibly begged) him to share what he had planned for the very end of Dexter...assuming he had one.
Turns out, he did have a very specific ending in mind, and it's possibly one of the best series-finale ideas I've ever heard.
"I haven't shared this with anyone," Philips told me. "And I can tell you that this is what I personally would have done should I have stayed with the show. I chose not to stay with the show, and so everybody did what they did, and I had no problem with that…and I think they did a good job with the final episode. But here is what I personally would have pitched."
SCOOP: Will there be a Dexter spinoff?
"In the very last scene of the series," Philips explained, "Dexter wakes up. And everybody is going to think, 'Oh, it was a dream.' And then the camera pulls back and back and back and then we realize, 'No, it's not a dream.' Dexter's opening his eyes and he's on the execution table at the Florida Penitentiary. They're just starting to administer the drugs and he looks out through the window to the observation gallery.
"And in the gallery are all the people that Dexter killed—including the Trinity Killer and the Ice Truck Killer (his brother Rudy), LaGuerta who he was responsible killing, Doakes who he's arguably responsible for, Rita, who he's arguably responsible for, Lila. All the big deaths, and also whoever the weekly episodic kills were. They are all there.
"That's what I envisioned for the ending of Dexter. That everything we've seen over the past eight seasons has happened in the several seconds from the time they start Dexter's execution to the time they finish the execution and he dies. Literally, his life flashed before his eyes as he was about to die. I think it would have been a great, epic, very satisfying conclusion."

oh yea

Why did they automatically assume Dexter was dead? Just because they found his boat wrecked?

Made no fricking sense.

I felt like Quinn was going to admit he knew about Dex then. It was like they built it up and then BAM

Yeah. Quinn's silence and the look on Batista's face was like, "Oh shite, Dexter is....."

One of the big questions I had for this season was how much Matthews knew about Dexter. Would have also been interesting to find out how much Quinn was onto. But of course, none of those lingering questions were answered.

I'm not sure if they needed to cut out the Dexter Bunyan coda or make it two minutes longer.
