I definitely agree with this. I mean, I'm fine with the fact that a sort of "reset" button has been pressed, but just the execution of it was so dumb. They're trying to make us think that he's getting an ultimate punishment, but is he really? Yes, Deb is dead - By his hands, on his terms. Yes, he's away from Hannah and Harrison, but he can decide to pack up and leave to Argentina at any moment. His "Hell" is more like being on a vacation of some sort.

I wouldn't say the finale was "garbage" though. I'd say season eight as a whole was, but the finale was okay, up until that ending. If Dexter had killed himself, then it would have been great. For one, we wouldn't be scratching our heads at how he got away without a scratch (Scott Buck is a fucking retard, life rafts do not work like that), and we would actually see him protecting Harrison, rather than abandoning him. But I guess that would have been too good of a finale, and would have made the rest of the season look even shittier by comparison.

This show could have only had three definite endings: Dexter getting imprisoned, killed, or having a reset on his life, where he was back to having his "secret life" actually be secret and having no responsibilities outside of work. The writers however, took a fourth option and tried to make it some sort of broken mix of the three, and it just didn't work. They were trying to keep it open ended for the future I guess, but who really wants to see a continuation of any kind to this piece of shit? We know that if it ends up happening, it'll most likely have the same writing crew and probably focus on Hannah for the most part. I wouldn't even watch that if they got rid of the entire writing team and replaced them with the old one, cause nobody could make that formula work, and it would be fucking boring and retarded. The only way they could get me and a fair share of others to watch is if they killed Hannah in the first episode.

Moments like this, I really wonder why I stick around the wiki. Lack of self respect? Must be, since I subject myself to being reminded of this garbage. Oh well.
