I did like the addition of Hannah, and The LaGuerta/Doakes element was a saving grace, but too little too late. At this point I will watch the final season with hope that it ends strong. If I had not thoroughly enjoyed the previous run of the show (or if this was my introduction to the series) I think I would have bailed early on. |

When LaGuerta initially arrested Dexter, wouldn't they have been free to search his apartment without needing a search warrant? Heck, if they had enough probable cause to arrest him wouldn't they also have enough to get a search warrant? They could have easily found the blood slides and knives, and that would have been the end of it.

Then they can look at his computer search history both at home and at work, realizing that people he looked up were recently killed.

Can't believe Quinn survived this season.

I love some of the complaints I've been reading other places.
"How did Dex & Deb get rid of the body!111" etc. Obviously that's going to be brought up next season. It's like asking "why did Deb let Dexter kill Travis?" at the end of last season. |

And excellent end to an excellent season. I was so glad Maria got killed off, she was the worst. And hopefully we'll see more Yvonne next year.

I'm pleased with the finale. It wasn't shocking, but I thought it was a solid season. Certainly a step up from last year.
I don't think there's going to be a new villain next season. It's going to be all about Deb and Dexter and the consequences of the final scene. |
Re: Dexter -- Season 7 Finale-- "Surprise Motherf****er!" -- 12/16/12
I was certain that at the end when it hit midnight, Dex and Deb were going to kiss. Ha.

I wonder if they're setting up something with him and the nanny, and that will lead to him finding out what's been going on.
Hell, I was surprised he didn't have more of a reaction when Dex was brought in in cuffs. |

Anyway, the second Deb found out about who Dexter really was - I gave this season an automatic pass. We'll see next season how Dex/Deb cover their tracks. There's also the issue of Deb being on record for calling in for a location on LaGuerta's vehicle. It looks suspicious for someone to do that just to know why she isn't at the party yet. Plus for LaGuerta to conveniently be dead when she just put Dexter on the hot-seat for being the BHB is very suspicious... nevermind that Dexter and LaGuerta were MIA for the party. Not enough to arrest him, but I figure someone at Miami Metro would be scratching their heads. |
Re: Dexter -- Season 7 Finale-- "Surprise Motherf****er!" -- 12/16/12
Breaking last week’s record, the Dexter season seven finale now ranks as the highest-rated episode ever for a SHOWTIME original series. DEXTER delivered 2.75 million viewers at 9 p.m., and garnered the best total night delivery ever for a SHOWTIME series with 3.43 million total viewers for the night. Sunday’s finale was up 14 percent from the season seven premiere (vs. 2.4 million) and up 23 percent versus the season 6 finale (vs. 2.2 million, 12/18/11). For the night, the finale was up 26 percent from the season six finale (vs. 2.7 million). Season-to-date, the seventh season of DEXTER is averaging 6.1 million total weekly viewers across platforms, its highest rated season ever, and up 12 percent above its prior season through the same time frame. |

^Wonder if they'll still end the series with season eight?

David Nevins, Showtime's President, hasn't officially said that season 8 is the last. He's been pretty vague. Now with these great ratings, I wonder if he will second guess making 8 the last. Michael C. Hall is only contracted through season 8 though. |

Re: Dexter -- Season 7 Finale-- "Surprise Motherf****er!" -- 12/16/12
Very glad LaGuerta is dead. If Dexter ultimately gets taken down I am fine with pretty much any living character having a hand in it. I couldn't stand her character since the beginning and it would have been tough to stomach her being the one responsible should the time come.

Doesn't seem like it should matter. Quinn already had his "Doakes ripoff" storyline where he basically learned that Dexter was a killer and they sortof had a silent agreement that he'd back off for Deb's sake or some shit.

I don't see what the big deal was about the sacred CODE not applying to LaGuerta. It's not like she would be the first person Dexter killed who didn't fit the code... there was Prado's brother, the photographer he killed my mistake, the guy who pissed him off, the hotel manager who tried to blackmail him, Liddy, and Hannah's father. Probably one or two more that I forgot. It is sort of ironic that the season opened with Viktor murdering a police officer (Mike Anderson) to cover up his crimes and facing Dexter's justice, and closed with Dexter in the process of murdering a police officer (LaGuerta) to cover up his own crimes. |

As Deb pointed out in the very episode, LaGuerta may be a despicable person, but that doesn't really make it right. She was just doing her job. And there's also the fact that Doakes, who was by all accounts, a good cop and not a serial killer, is still going down in history as the Bay Harbor butcher. |
Re: Dexter -- Season 7 Finale-- "Surprise Motherf****er!" -- 12/16/12
I thought in all it was a great season - loved every moment of it. And can't wait to get the DVD set to watch it all "marathon style" in about two days time!

Re: Dexter -- Season 7 Finale-- "Surprise Motherf****er!" -- 12/16/12
I liked the season, but did not like the finale.. really though they botched Deb up..
would have liked to see a better cliffhanger maybe Deb getting killed by LaGuerta, then Dex killing her.. then you can bring back his icy killer girlfriend and have them go at it for the final season.. oh well.. good season tho and I will be watching what hopefully will be the final season next year... |
