Can summarize how it ended?

Buzzfeed has you covered *spoilers*

interview with the writer of the episode, scott buck...just wow...

quote:

---

Have to ask: How did Dex get from his boat to the shore in the middle of a hurricane?

BUCK: Hopefully it’s not a question that will be examined too closely. The show has always been a half step away from reality; it’s a hyper-reality. We established there is an emergency life raft with an outboard motor on the boat. He could have gotten in the raft and made it safely to shore.

from BrBa where every single shot is meticulously done, meaningful and plausible to this bullshite

Since Hannah’s a wanted fugitive, couldn’t she have at least put on a ball cap when walking around Miami?

BUCK: We played with the idea of dyeing her hair. In the research we did on fugitives we learned there are countless fugitives out there just walking around that nobody is really looking for. There aren’t funds to hunt down every one of them — particularly Hannah, as she hasn’t been convicted of a crime. She’s not high priority. We put her in sunglasses. Otherwise we didn’t want to call more attention to it.

but then Lumberjack Dex shows up. Tarded.

No shite. If they weren't going to kill him, he should have shown up at the café with Hannah and Harrison. Ending served no purpose ever and was just stupid.

Or you can choose to laugh yourself to sleep with this.

quote:

He told Harrison on the phone something like remember this everyday until I tell you again.

---

It sounded like a final goodbye to me. I wish I had changed the channel as they hung up. That ending would've been better.

There is no excuse for the laziest writing I have ever seen this season. He leaves his kid fatherless and becomes a lumberjack? WTF? Suddenly he couldn't be with Hannah and his son because he says he messes everyone up?

---

Think of all the possibilities for Harrison:

1. leave him in Florida with his grandparents and half-sister and brother
2. leave in Florida with Batista and a cast of supporting characters who would take care of him

or

3. Send him to freaking Argentina alone with a wanted killer who has no idea how to be a parent.

herp derp herp. Me lumberjack now!

It was an all time bad finale. Running away was never Dexter's solution to any problem. So becoming a lumberjack in the NW made no sense whatsoever.

He loves his kid and has been a relatively good dad but now will abandon him when nothing is keeping them apart?

I can sort of understand burying Deb at sea with his other "victims" but she wasn't a victim of his life. She died. But he just carried her off? With a curbside boat? Wat?

Talk about a law suit for the hospital who went from "all is well" let's talk this out to "never recover". Ugh...

You have to wonder who at Showtime kept green lighting these writers. Honestly, this is one of the few times I think random people from the Internets could have done a better job.

Then he just picks her up and carries her down the main dock and puts her in his boat right in front of everyone.

What an absolute shitshow that was. That would have been a horrible ending to a normal show. But this was the damned series finale! God that was horrible.

Talk about lazy writing... I'm sure everyone heard on the tv that the hurricane was a Class 3. So, he's out in the gulf right on the edge of a Class 3 saying his goodbyes to Deb and the water is calm enough to water ski on. I mean, it wasn't even raining hard much less the swells you'd have.

I could come up with 5 better endings in about 20 minutes if I had to. That was horrible.
