Sorry, minor correction, not that it really matters, but the correct episode title is actually:
"Through a Glass, Darkly"
"Through a Glass, Darkly"

I think that they retitled it, so "The Big One" is correct. Either way, I can't wait. The last scene of the promo = OMG.

Can't wait I have been enjoying this season all the way through, and will be sad to see it finished.

Well that finale was pretty good. I feel as though some people may be left disappointed because they didn't go for exactly what everyone expected but it was good.
Overall though I'm satisfied by the season as a whole. It kind of feels like they used this season as a bit of a fill in the gap season, but it was still good and tied up some ends from last season. It allows them to take the series in whatever direction they feel next year and not be tied down without leaving loose ends.

Great ending to the season. I think Deb actually knows about Dexter. She can't be that stupid.

The car Dexter stole seems like a big loose end. It will be reported stolen the day all the cops found Liddy's body and then a few hours later it will turn up (well, turned over :-P) at the camp. Plus any blood/hair from the car crash.
I don't see Dexter/Lumen were able to clean all Jordan's blood up before the cops that Deb called in. Well, I can't remember, are we sure Deb called it in right away? All I remember is her telling Dexter that Jordan is still missing, not necessarily that they found the camp?? Have to rewatch that scene.

I think Deb said that cops would be swarming in an hour. Anyway, great finale to the season tonight. I was impressed with how they choose to follow-up last season (no easy task as it was arguably this show's best season).

I was semi-disappointed in the way it ended, but then I remembered this show doesn't always end on a cliffhanger. That scene with Deb at the camp was freakin tense. I thought for sure she was going to find out, or Lumen would give herself up to save Dexter.

Quinn, on the hand, knows full well about Dexter. He just has to. He has no proof but Quinn seemed to be way too ok with a guy that he thinks was involved in Rita's death. Quinn should only be 100x more suspicious of Dexter and what he's capable of. Just because Dex hooked him up with the blood test shouldn't make this all ok.
Anyway, great finale. The scene with Deb running into Lumen and Dexter was incredible. All in all, it was a great resolution to what turned out to be a great season.
I'm glad that Lumen left... Like I said last week, it doesn't make much sense with her there and it makes sense that she would be done killing. I like that there is a chance of her making a comeback, if they so choose.
Maybe she was there, but in the end scene with Dexter looking at all his friends and family, I would have liked it if Rita was there. Harry was so I think they should have put her on too. Minor gripe though.

It was a very weak ending. Aside from the scene with Deb confronting Dex and Lumen it was predictable.
Question for Dexter aficionados: Did Dexter ever find out who the people were that killed his mother? I can't recall.

Good finale and final 6 episodes in general.

Alright there, Julia Stiles. Your interview was a little weird. When you started talking about how the kill scenes were so much fun to film, that was just strange............ly hot.

And while I do love the show I will agree with you that there was no real "Holy Shit" Moment for me. I found most of the stuff to to happen not in the manner in which I thought it would, but everything seemed to fit with the changing morals of the characters.

Deb just letting Dexter and Lumen escape was a stretch, even if the character could understand the motivation behind what they were doing. Deb letting them just escape without even taking a quick peek behind the plastic to see who they were was just preposterous, even for this show. I get why they wouldn't have Deb find out about Dex, but it just came off incredibly silly.
