I always wanted to see Dexter end the series by killing himself.
He should end up in a situation where his sister find out about him and ends up on the table and he's about to kill her when he realizes he's become the monster fully that he always fought against.
Then he does what he always does when he finds a killer like that... He kills himself.
Wouldn't really make sense considering he has always fully understood and acknowledged that he's just like the people he kills.
Yeah, but it is different acknowledging being on the same level as other serial killers and becoming a source of harm to a loved one.
Have him start to go through the motions, hit a moment of clarity where he realizes what a danger he is to his loved ones, then instead of killing her he kills himself.
Tap for spoiler
You do realize everything except the last part already happened, right? I thought you were joking earlier but that's literally the plot of the first season, except he kills his brother.
Just go be a writer already 👏
Yeah! They should write Dexter season 13!
Or end the show like in Book 7. Rita is killed by someone and Dexter is arrested for the one murder he did not commit.
I’m waiting for a new trilogy:
Dexter in Space
Dexter goes to Hell
Dexter Reborn
The inevitable crossing of
Dexter Vs Punisher
That would have been inevitable, but the previous poster skipped the obvious Dexter Takes Manhattan
Isn't that the new one they are starting to film now?
Dexter vs. Jason Dexter takes Manhattan Dexters Dexter's Nightmares Dexter: Bloodlines The Dexter Dexter begins Dexter: Lord of the Dead Killer on the lose!: A Dexter's musical Wild Wild Dexter Look who's dextering too Army of Dexters House of Dexter Abbott and Costello Meet Dexter The Night of Dexter Dawn of Dexter Curse of Dexter Cult of Dexter The Dexter II: Tropical Trouble Season of the Dexter Dexter's Seasoning Dexter Forever
You forgot:
Was looking for the Jurassic Park Dexter.
Musical Dexter
Well actually... https://youtu.be/XXXqmw6iJCY?t=38s
Oh, hello Marvel, weird to see you here.
I’m waiting for the marvel crossovers
What if… Dexter’s sister is a serial killer 🔪
And she went back in time, visiting their their parents as kids, and held them hostage!
There's new Dexter after Season 5 when his girlfriend was killed by John Lithgow?
This is exactly the point that I gave up at like 15 years ago. Just let it go.
No, that never happened, show stopped right there
There shouldn’t have been, but yes…
Was that not season 4?
Maybe - I don't recall. It was like 15 years ago and the show basically ended at that point so I stopped caring.
I want a new Dexter show where the protagonist hunts evil people who are stealing from us and damaging our planet. Call him Lorenzo or something Italian sounding.
Would you settle for a video game? I hear the first-hand experience is in high demand these days.
i am torn with this idea. i really hate when shows just keep going and going, which American series far too often do. the writing seems to become diluted and formulaic, in order to keep the show limping along, and that’s what happened with Dexter.
HOWEVER
i thoroughly enjoyed Original Sin, and holy shit did those actors do their homework. (the casting director played a huge part in that). the show is also doing a great job of showing us the evolution of Dexter, and the story feels fresh and new, which is what the last season or two of the original Dexter was missing : new ideas.
i also enjoyed New Blood, because i am just a fan of the show, but i am unsure that it really needed to be made, and it’s here where i am currently sitting with the idea of Resurrection; i am excited for more Dexter content, but not sure it’s gonna provide anything truly new and fresh.
perhaps you’re right… maybe it’s time for them to stop making more Dexter content, and let us live with the memory of what a fantastic show it was.
hate when shows just keep going and going, which American series far too often do
Laughs in EastEnders. Or as they say in Australia: Laughs in Neighbours.
It's not a uniquely American thing as much as it is a capitalistic thing. As long as a show is getting viewership to be profitable it often gets milked for that profit until it degrades past a point of profitability.
People struggle with the idea of something they don't like existing. If you don't like Dexter, stop watching Dexter. The memory of what you did like still exists, you can always reflect back on that.
Like you, I also enjoyed Original Sin. My preference would be for that series to continue.
New Blood? Also fun. I liked it less than Original Sin, but still fun. It does rely on keeping the existing Dexter canon where he fakes his death and ends up a lumberjack, a storyline that was not great, but we're moving on.
If Resurrection is great, great! If it sucks, all well.
I have to disagree. Original Sin was filled with bad actors. Dexter boy nailed some of his mannerisms but otherwise acted nothing like him. The girl who played Deb was particularly bad. The writing was bad. I mean they even reshot the entire scene in the hospital where Harry nearly died, almost shot for shot, why? For what purpose?
I'm waiting for Prison Break: Recidivism
Is Dexter ill?
No Mr Kirk, Dexter's in school.
I'm afraid he's not, Mrs. Fishpaw. Dexter's truancy problem is way out of hand. The Baltimore County School Board have decided to expel Dexter from the entire public school system.
Oh Mr. Kirk... I'm as upset as you to learn of Dexter's truancy, but surely expulsion is not the answer!
I'm afraid expulsion is the only answer. It is the opinion of the entire staff that Dexter is criminally insane!
I know a guy that creeps me out like Dexter does to Doakes
Better kill him.
Will do
What are you talking about? The shows over. 4 great sessions, it ends with him getting his commupence. Great series I rewatch it from time to time.
