Talk:Episode 812: Remember the Monsters?/@comment-3200919-20131020062255

What I don't understand is how Dexter survived driving the Slice of Life right into Hurricane Laura, then managed to secretly flee from Florida to... what looks like someplace further up north, and SOMEHOW, no one notices that that dead man in the papers is... alive.

I know, it's a TV show and all, but if a show like Dexter were to go out with a bang, I don't think it would go like this. If the writers wanted to take the fate of exile route, then let it be. Me, personally, I think it could've been handled better and more effectively, yet I, the critic, don't even know HOW it should've or could've been handled.

Maybe it's because Dexter survived driving a speedboat right into a fucking hurricane. God knows what else we can throw at him and have him survive. In fact, going by that sort of logic, Saxon should've somehow found access to a nuclear bomb, target it towards Miami, and launch it. Who knows? If Dex can survive driving a boat directly into a swirling torrent of pain and misery (and death), then he can probably survive a nuclear weapon hitting his face.

Other than that, I have no complaints of the series finale; had it not have been for that huge, gaping plot hole, then this would've made up for the entire season, which it managed to do to some marginal degree, but not in full.

I give it 3.5/5, at best.
