  • That studio executives forbade Dexter to die in the final season of the show? Over the course of its eight seasons on the air, Dexter’s titular serial killer anti-hero, played by Michael C. Hall, flirted with his own demise as much as he was prolific at killing criminals. Sometimes, in shows that deal with flawed protagonists, the best way to give the character a redemption arc is to kill them off in the final season. This, however, was not the case with Dexter. Producer, John Goldwyn, has come out and said, since the last episode of the show aired, that Showtime “wouldn’t let us kill him.” The producer went on to say, “When we told them the arc of for the last season they just said, ‘Just to be clear, he’s going to live.” Despite not being officially killed off, the creators of the show and the network did reach a compromise, with Decter faking his own death.

    They should’ve left the very last scene out. I think that Dexter really meant to kill himself and he survived. That didn’t require a confirmation. In the last book we are lead to believe he bleeds out in a lake or whatever it was but you could easily write another Dexter book because it was also ambiguous.

      @@outcast935 I guess you didn’t read the book. He’s not on the boats. He’s in the water bleeding as the boat explode in the background. Wether Jeff says he actually died or not is of course something he can say but when you read the book there is still a glimmer of hope that he survived. I think Jeff was just done writing Dexter books and I can’t argue. I only really liked probably half of them anyways. He’s not the best author but the Dexter character is very likable. I think he backed himself into a wall by writing Dexter is Dead for a reason. What do you write after that. Jk, Dexter is still alive lol? I think most of us who read the last book were waiting on how Dexter would die in the entire book.

    Honestly, I think they did such a great job compromising. I mean the part where he survived is technically canon, but when you watch that episode, it seems so out of place, you can easily just ignore and pretend that didn't happen, and I think that's probably deliberate by the creator.
    Even though new blood really isn't good, sometimes you just like a show so much you want to see those characters again. But in my mind, the show ended with dexter dead, and everything after is just fan fiction.
    I gotta say I was really hoping that he was going to sail into the storm, holding Debra tightly in his arms. But I guess maybe in his mind, Debra deserve a more peaceful death, and he himself deserved to die somewhat more "violently" in the storm.

    Someone will disagree with what I am about to say but I don't particularly care; dexter kind of was the good guy concerning how he stuck to his father's code of going after bad people only; he could have ignored that and went after anyone he wanted at any time, he could have given in to the temptation of killing the security guard his brother had laid before him at the abandoned hospital or his sister at their childhood home but he chose to follow his father's rules despite his own issues with him because deep down he really didn't want to hurt innocent people and season after season was showing him striving to be a better person and was achieving that slowly especially with lumen in season 5 and brother sam in season 6,
    the show's 2 endings was I feel very disappointing because they wrote it and his character all wrong for he wouldn't have given in to his grief over the loss of his sister to where he would abandon his own son, sure he would be at his lowest for a minute but he would pull himself together and remember the promise he made to deb of how he would always be there for harrison no matter what and you can't sit there and convince me that a small town sheriff like his girlfriend angela would be able to bust a notorious killer like Dexter based on circumstantial evidence not to mention the tranquilizer formula is not the same; he never used kenimine on his targets he used M99,
    The writers should have continued adapting his story from the novels for they had tons of potential of doing and successfully pulling off a reverse breaking bad and the blacklist with the character, turning him into his very own sophisticated concierge of crime fighting with a vast network of resources at his disposal to help him hunt those that escape justice while keeping him 2 steps ahead of the people he works for in law enforcement who feels and views himself as the "the bad guy" that doesn't believe he can change but doesn't want to disappoint his father, his best friend angel, his wife, kids and sister by giving up trying with case after case and ultimate showdowns with the main antagonist of the season pushing him further and further down the path of being a honorable, righteous and semi-heroic individual with new blood being his swan song where he sacrifices himself to save his son, his son's girlfriend along with his own girlfriend from Kurt Caldwell, his son and the billionaire character they had in there that was serving as a red herring, have it where he had a connection to kurt and was involved somehow in covering up his secret of being the runaway killer and Dexter dying ending their threat once and for all thus earning his redemption which brings his story arc full circle with him ultimately breaking good,
    As for doakes the most annoying thing about him was his hypocritical attitude towards dexter when he tried to get him in trouble for just doing his job as a blood spatter specialist after he in an act of revenge shot dead a former death squad operative who was unarmed and tried to cover it up with lies which put his partner angel batista in a very uncomfortable situation of possibly turning him in to be arrested by IA until he was given a pass by the government,
    It should have been written and adapted according to the way it worked out in the books where they worked together to take down a cartel leader and doakes was severely maimed by the main antagonist dr danco to where he lost his legs and arms and tongue as a consequence for killing in cold blood that death squad operative who just so happened to be related to the villain, dexter tries to save him despite him knowing his secret but fails, he goes into a comma and dies later on in the 3rd season but Is revered as a hero cop and posthumously awarded a medal for risking his life to bring down dr danko who gets framed by Dexter as the Bay Harbor butcher,
    the same scenario can be applied but altered to the character Maria Laguerta, have the consequences of her actions in season 2 befall her in season 7 by having esme come back for revenge on laguerta for ruining her career by using her secret connections to the criminal underworld to frame her and make her look as if she's losing her mind like what laguerta did to her by sleeping with her boyfriend and have it where Debra is the one that tries to save her but fails with season 8 being the final season that deals with the fallout of that event and Dexter being the loving caring brother that he's been towards her trying to help her overcome the grief of laguerta's death all while dealing with the reign of terror from the brain surgeon! 🔥😁😉👍!

Those people catch those predators because of only a moral code. Whereas Dexter does it because of a physical conpulsion. He also has to work as a team and he hates it. But in a way he can still do what he does with extra care as he has a cover now.
